  • Summary

  • On this season finale episode of Oscars Playback, experts and editors Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen head back to 1989 to celebrate the worst Oscars ever. Produced by Allan Carr, the '89 Oscars are remembered not for the "Rain Man" wins in Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, but for Snow White singing "Proud Mary" with Rob Lowe. But was the response to this terrible opening number overblown, particularly when compared to other terrible opening numbers throughout the decade? Joyce and Chris discuss that and 1988 in Film, when "Beetlejuice," "Die Hard," "Twins," "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," and other classics were first released. Finally, Joyce and Chris conclude this year's '80s edition of Oscars Playback by ranking the decade's Best Picture winners. Stay tuned next week for an encore presentation of Oscars Playback 1990, which Joyce and Chris first recorded in 2022. Joyce and Chris will be back to the Oscars Playback playground in 2025 with a trip into the 1970s. Email us at slugfests@goldderby.com. Like what you hear?
