Every Podcast Conversation at Your Fingertips

It’s Oscars season and we’re reviewing the Academy’s big category picks. ‘Dunkirk’ (starring Harry Styles, Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy) is directed by Christopher Nolan and has nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, and more.

Synopsis:

“In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated.”

We put the movie through our critically acclaimed rating system, which grades based on four categories:

1. Did we like it?

2. How did everyone look?

3. Will we steal stuff from it?

4. Is it problematic?
