1981 Best Picture Part 2

This week our hosts, Jeff and Cory, press into the issue of which movie should have bested Ordinary People at the 1981 Academy Awards. After trying to explain their metric, they dive deep into the nominees and (most of) the alternates chosen last week with our guest host. Did David Lynch’s throwback horror with a social core score high enough? Will our nerd brains go soft for a mid-trilogy sci-fi classic? We’re we seriously going to consider Caddy Shack? All will be answered, as well as which movie deserves the switch.
