A new challenger arrives!

Join us as we cover the third year of the Academy Awards and spoil All Quiet on the Western Front, The Big House, Disraeli, The Divorcee, and The Love Parade.

You asked, we answered. In this episode, we all learn a little bit more about the origins of film, the structure of the Academy, what the Hays Code was, and some (fun?) trivia about Hollywood's most and least expensive films up to 1930. We also get to share what each of our favorite eras of film is-- turns out there might be a right answer to that question.

However, this is just the free preview, so you'll only get to hear about our favorite eras of film. Find the full version, with actual useful information about film history, at patreon.com/lightscameraaccolade

Hollywood hits some highs and lows as 1929’s nominees grapple with the introduction of sound, and we gain a newfound respect for quality sound design. This episode spoils 1929's Alibi, Hollywood Revue, In Old Arizona, and The Broadway Melody.

We share our unique relationships with scary movies and discuss three of 1920s' finest horror films: Haxan (1922), The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), and Nosferatu (1922).

Except this is just the free preview, so you'll only get to hear the Nosferatu segment. Find the full version at patreon.com/lightscameraaccolade
