1996: The Independence Patient

It's 1996, and Dan is yelling "Elaine was right" as Claire, Erin, and he dissect Harvey Weinstein's first big Oscar win, The English Patient. Was this an early example of the current hip category fraud, where a co-lead ran as a supporting actress for an easier Oscar? Does cheating on young, hot Colin Firth make sense? Those questions answered, the far less clever but far more fun Independence Day claims the box office, which gives our hosts way more emotions in a surprisingly close amount of time. Ralph Fiennes vs Will Smith, join us for the fight!
