And the winners are...1991 Revised Oscars
Monday Sep 29, 2025
Monday Sep 29, 2025
I took a deep dive into 1991, along with special guests Liz Arnold from Liz and a Movie and Scott Cole, and after the episode we turned the voting over to you, the people!
We agreed with the Academy on one winner (Jodie Foster in Lead Actress), so only five categories went to our social media polls for you, the listeners to decide on.
The voting has concluded and it's time to share the results and officially add these winners to the coveted Revisionist's Almanac.
With this episode cycle completed, we turn our attention to episode twenty-two, where I was joined by two returning guests - Tom and Dana Duncan from The Greatest Movie of All-Time Podcast - to dissect the year 1982 (Gandhi winning Best Picture). This episode will release on Friday, October 3rd.
Thanks for checking out the voting results and be sure to subscribe to the channel and rate/review the show!

Wednesday Sep 24, 2025
Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another (2025) is releasing this week, and I thought this would be a great chance to look back on the filmography of one of the great filmmakers working today.
I went through and ranked my favorite PTA films- reminder, these are my favorites and NOT what I think are his objectively best films.
Do you agree or disagree with my list? What does your PTA ranking look like? You can DM me on any of the social media pages @RevAlmanac or email me at revisionistalmanac@yahoo.com.

This is the fourth in a new series where I'll be interviewing people in and around the film industry.
I had the good fortune to sit down with a couple incredible people. They're actors. They're filmmakers. They're producers. And they're revolutionaries shaking things up in the streaming game with their HighballTV service (available worldwide). We talked about their film influences, what led them to create their own streaming platform, and they're 2025 film, Paige Darcy: Reluctant Detective, which they're co-directed.

And the winners are...2001 Revised Oscars
Tuesday Sep 02, 2025
Tuesday Sep 02, 2025
I took a deep dive into 2001, along with special guests Adam St. John from 1001by1, Below Freezing & the soon-to-return Rewind 25-52, and Britt Reinholz-Hobson, also from 1001by1, and after the episode we turned the voting over to you, the people!
We couldn't agree with the Academy on any of the six categories we covered, so all went to our social media polls for you, the listeners to decide on.
The voting has concluded and it's time to share the results and officially add these winners to the coveted Revisionist's Almanac.
With this episode cycle completed, we turn our attention to episode twenty-one, where I was joined by two first-time guests - Liz Arnold from Liz and a Movie and Scott Cole - to dissect the year 1991 (The Silence of the Lambs winning Best Picture). This episode will release on Friday, September 5th.
