Bonus - The Freakishly Fantastic Films of 1995

1995, an objectively incredible year for movies, doesn’t get talked about enough…until now!  Having done the research for our 1996 Oscars, “Tex” And Mark were amazed at just how many outstanding, Oscar-worthy films came out this year — so many in fact, that we could hold an ‘Alternate Oscars’ and only include non-nominated films, directors and performances.  So…  That’s we did!  Join us as we have some fun discussing the freakishly fantastic films of 1995 and offer our picks for an Oscars that didn’t happen — but certainly could have!  We’ll be back with a regular episode next week.  (The 1943 Oscars for anyone who wants to do some homework and watch some of the films of 1942!)
