HATN 5: The Quiet Man (1952)

Here Are the Nominees

HATN 5: The Quiet Man (1952)

00:00 / 1:33:04

For this episode, we invite you to come enjoy yourself in John Ford’s quaint, quiet Irish village of Inisfree, an idealized version of Ireland – as long as your ideal involves chaotic drunken donnybrooks. Winner of two Oscars and nominated for seven, The Quiet Man blends romance with comedy with gorgeous, lush Irish countrysides as backdrop, and stars John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, and Victor McLaglen. It’s a first time courtship for us with this film, so we ask of you, please, no patty fingers.

00:00 / 1:33:53

Grab our ponytails and hang on as we fly away to a magical land, a land of massive genies, evil sorcerers, overboard dogs, elaborate stabbing machines, terribly timed spells, giant spiders, and scrumptious sausage plates! That’s right, it’s 1940’s biggest winner at the Academy Awards, The Thief of Bagdad, directed by… [checks notes]… everyone? Give it a listen and enjoy!

Once upon a time, there were two not so young podcasters named Brent and David, and they took it upon themselves to watch Oscar-nominated films, review them, and talk about their award runs. Here is the last remaining portal to their discussions, as we wait for the one true listener to come along, complete three tasks (listen, review, & tell your friends) and restore balance to the kingdom of the podcasting underworld…

Here Are the Nominees Episode 1: Die Hard (1988)

00:00 / 1:36:26

Now we have a new podcast. Ho-Ho-Ho.

Come back to TMBU, plug in the headphones, have a few laughs. In HatN’s first episode, Brent and David look back at John McTiernan’s action classic. Does Die Hard, a longtime favorite of ours, stand up to the test of time and a more critical look? Where do we stand on the Christmas movie question? And finally, was Die Hard snubbed at the Academy Awards, where it received four nominations (Film Editing, Visual Effects, Sound Editing, and Sound) but took home zero statues? Listener, bubby, we’re you’re white knights, answering all this and more just in time for your holiday season!
