That’s right! Today we have a special BONUS episode, covering Tod Browning’s Dracula. This horror classic actually had its general release on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1931…93 years ago today! It fits right in with our regular Oscar timeline, but this movie is different…it wasn’t nominated for Outstanding Production, and, in fact, wasn’t nominated for any Academy Awards at all. So why are we discussing it? Because Dracula, made at the same time as our nominees this season, has managed to outshine all of them in the annals of history, and has a staying power in our cultural consciousness that defies subjective awards shows.
We had intended this to be a “mini-episode”--but the movie is so good it blossomed into a regular “full-length” episode. We have all of our usuals: history timeline, top song of the day, day-of headlines, plot examination, personal reactions, and contemporary and modern reviews (shout out to Roger Ebert). We also have a special guest star: Sara’s daughter Keely is back to offer her thoughts–who knew you wanted to know what an 11-year-old thinks about a super old movie? (And you do, her insights might be rather unexpected.)
