4:04 The New Slang: PERFECT DAYS

Thoughts from your host…

Even I must admit that it was odd to be posting a podcast the day after the Oscars that is not about The Oscars. It’s like opening a busy bar up for business on St Patricks Day and just wishing patrons a “Happy Sunday” as they walk through the door.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – who wins Oscars doesn’t interest me all that much. When you remind yourself that Oscar gets things wrong far more than they get things right, life gets a lot easier. Don’t take any of it to heart and it all gets so much more enjoyable.

While we don’t have any sort of wrap-up for you – no chatter of who looked great and who acted weird – we do have a film to talk about today that was nominated last night and may have slipped under your radar. It was a really great year for Best International Film, especially when one includes ANATOMY OF A FALL. So here we have one of the contenders – one you may not have seen, but one that is well worth your time.

So find your favourite quiet lunchtime spot, pause all of those wonderful old cassette tapes, and press play on our little declaration of “Now is Now”. We’ve been talking about Oscars for months already…let’s change the topic :).

Enjoy!
