83. "The English Patient" (1996)
World War II Movie Night - A podcast by World War II Movie Night - Fridays
It'd be hard to find a more successful movie - at least upon release - than Miramax's "The English Patient." This late-1996 pic made tons of money, swept the Oscars, and was one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the decade. Case settled, right? Not so fast. On World War II Movie Night we like to look past the luster. Does TEP hold up? Is it an actual WWII movie? Join us as we ponder the deeper questions... Asides include the shenanigans of Harvey Weinstein, "Seinfeld" as a cultural barometer, and the weird connetion between TEP and an obsucre, 1981 slasher-in-the-woods flick.
