We interrupt your Oscar weekend with a Special Announcement. The show is changing names and changing homes. Nothing else major will change. The show will still be in the same format and be found on the same podcast feed. But we're moving the show over to <a href="http://seattlescreenscene.com/">Seattle Screen Scene</a> in an attempt to streamline our endeavors. Hopefully this will cause very little disruption in all of our lives.<br />

In anticipation of next week's Academy Awards, Mike and Sean run down their picks in the top categories, both who they think will win and who should win the awards, out of all the films and performances from 2015. They also start their year-long exploration of the films of 1946 with one of that year's Best Picture contenders, <i>The Razor's Edge</i>, with Gene Tierney and Tyrone Power, and Jacques Tourneur's Western <i>Canyon Passage</i>, starring Dana Andrews, in some circles now one of the highly regarded films of that year, but which then received only one Oscar nomination (for Best Song).<br />

In anticipation of the local premiere of Jacques Rivette's monumental 1971 serial <i>Out 1</i>, this week Mike and Sean take a look at his 1976 pirate film <i>Noroît</i>, starring Geraldine Chaplin. Continuing the theme, they discuss Douglas Fairbanks's 1926 classic <i>The Black Pirate</i>, make their picks for Essential Pirate Film and talk about the career of the greatest swashbuckler of them all, Errol Flynn. And, we promise, nobody talks like a pirate.<br />

Unable to contain their excitement for the latest <i>Star Wars</i> film, Mike and Sean get together for a special bonus episode to discuss <i>The Force Awakens</i>. What was supposed to be a quick little episode stretched to over an hour (and could have gone for a lot longer) because it's <i>Star Wars</i> and they really could talk about it for hours and hours.<br />

From Mike's list, Sean chose the Tyrone Power carny noir <i>Nightmare Alley</i>, directed by Edmund Goulding in 1947.<br />

In anticipation of the upcoming <i>The Force Awakens</i>, Sean and Mike take a look back at the first film either of them ever saw, George Lucas's 1977 <i>Star Wars</i>. And in celebration of Thanksgiving, they also talk about Çetin İnanç's 1982 epic <i>The Man Who Saves the World</i>, also known as <i>Turkish Star Wars</i>. They also talk about the singular, wildly successful and somewhat disappointing career of George Lucas and make their picks for the essential Blockbuster Saga.<br />

Some Corrections:<br />
<br />
At one point Sean identifies the composer of the <i>Planet of the Apes </i>score as John Barry, of course it is Jerry Goldsmith.<br />
<br />
Mike states that this is Episode 76 of The George Sanders Show.

This week, on the annual Veteran's Day War Movie episode, Mike and Sean watch a pair of 1965 films from a pair of great directors, both of which just happen to star Richard Harris. First is Sam Peckinpah's Civil War-era <i>Major Dundee</i>, with Charlton Heston, then Anthony Mann's <i>The Heroes of Telemark</i> with Kirk Douglas leading a band of Norwegians against the Nazis. They also talk about Peckinpah's career in general and pick their Essential Resistance Films.<br />

For the annual Halloween episode, Mike and Sean take a look at a couple low budget films from the mid 1960s, Maria Bava's AIP co-production <i>Planet of the Vampires</i> and Hajime Sato's <i>Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell</i>. Both films feature inventive special effects, zombification, questionable acting and a whole lot of dread. They also talk about the career of the late Maureen O'Hara, lament the demise of Grantland, pick their Essential Cinematic Vampires and see what's playing around the multiplexes.<br />

In what is quickly becoming an annual tradition, Mike and Sean ventured out their local AMC theatre to record an episode on-location at the Seattle premiere of the new Johnnie To film. This year it's <i>Office</i>, a musical drama set in a financial firm in the midst of the 2008 collapse starring Chow Yun-fat, Tang Wei, Eason Chan and Sylvia Chang (who also adapted the screenplay from her own play, <i>Design for Living</i>). Chang as well has a film she's directed playing at this year's Vancouver International Film Festival, as does Romanian director Corneliu Porumboiu, whose 2009 film <i>Police, Adjective</i> they also discuss this week. In addition they talk about the work of Johnnie To in general and pick some under-the-radar films they're looking forward to seeing during at next week's trip to VIFF.<br />
