Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

In this episode, Tony & Carl get some audio feedback from ACADEMY WATCH podcaster Bo Nicholson and a question - would Best Picture Oscar winners sometimes be more palatable if they were called 'Pictures of the Year'?

Plus! After a spicy Guardian take on the veracity of modern cinema from legendary helmsman John Boorman, they discuss the meaning of the word 'film' in the current context.

And! They chat news about Quentin Tarantino's supposedly last film, THE MOVIE CRITIC, what it could be, and whether choosing the end a directing career is the best way out.
