We are 87 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as the answer the question all of us have been thinking:  How Green Was My Valley?  Of course that is the name of 1941's Best Picture winner.


Wale, Wale, Wale, what do we have here?  A valley huh?  How green is it?  Oh, not that green?  Covered with coal soot actually?  Oh Wale...  That's it.  That's the movie.  It's a pretty even-keeled coming-of-age story for a young lad named Huw who comes from a coal mining family.  Directed by legend John Ford it contains a lot of his hallmarks - growth, love, loss, and worker's rights.  This is considered a bit of a controversial winner by cinema snobs - what does the Brainrot crew think of it?


In this episode you're gonna hear:

  • A history of Wales and it's coal-mining roots (or seams)
  • Robust discussion on a completely different Best Picture nominee, much to Drew's chagrin
  • Why solving problems with violence is good, and awesome, sometimes
  • So many Phantom Menace references.  Seriously you are not ready for the amount of times we reference The Phantom Menace.
