We are 87 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as the answer the question all of us have been thinking: How Green Was My Valley? Of course that is the name of 1941's Best Picture winner.

Wale, Wale, Wale, what do we have here? A valley huh? How green is it? Oh, not that green? Covered with coal soot actually? Oh Wale... That's it. That's the movie. It's a pretty even-keeled coming-of-age story for a young lad named Huw who comes from a coal mining family. Directed by legend John Ford it contains a lot of his hallmarks - growth, love, loss, and worker's rights. This is considered a bit of a controversial winner by cinema snobs - what does the Brainrot crew think of it?

In this episode you're gonna hear:

A history of Wales and it's coal-mining roots (or seams)
Robust discussion on a completely different Best Picture nominee, much to Drew's chagrin
Why solving problems with violence is good, and awesome, sometimes
So many Phantom Menace references. Seriously you are not ready for the amount of times we reference The Phantom Menace.

Follow us @bestpicturebrainrotpodcast as we keep delving into Oscars history with a brainrot spin
