0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Little Gold Men, Vanity Affairs podcast for film, TV, and awards lovers. |
0:09.7 | I'm David Canfield. |
0:10.8 | I'm Richard Lawson. |
0:11.8 | And I'm Rebecca Ford. |
0:19.0 | Today on the show, we are discussing the Brokeback Mountain re-release, which took place this past weekend, and the film's legacy 20 years on. |
0:26.5 | We're also going to talk a little bit about some other films we'd love to see get the re-release treatment among Oscar movies of the aughts. |
