The Shawshank Redemption

And the Winner Should Have Been...

This week the discussion is on the Best Picture nominees that were released in 1994. Bob and Mark disagree a bit on the margins, but end up finding more common ground than...uncommon? It rambles on a bit (almost 90 minutes!), perhaps because of the skipped episode missed while Bob was in Milwaukee at a wedding (only the one, and no funerals). Spoilers abound! (As ever.)

What's a "palooka"?
It was Walking Tall! (But it's not quite a bat, and it was '73, not the '60s. Still.) Remade a few years back with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the Joe Don Baker role.
That scene from Tropic Thunder. (NSFW language)
