We are 89 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they, frankly, give a damn about the 12th Best Picture winner - 1939's Gone With the Wind.


1939 was a banner year for a lot of reasons. The New York Yankees swept the Cincinnati Reds in the World Series, Hitler invaded Poland, and a scrappy little cinematic novel adaptation named Gone With the Wind released to unprecedented financial success and Oscars recognition. It's the epic Southern romance that set the world (and a few big movie sets) ablaze with Confederate passion, for better or for worse. Of it's unprecedented 10 Oscars, Best Picture was, of course, one of them. It's legacy is one of a historical cinematic achievement - but how does the Brainrot squad feel about it?


In this episode you're gonna hear:
  • How the Civil War gave the whole world excessive brainrot
  • About Scarlett O'Hara's gaslighting, gatekeeping AND girlbossing
  • Which iconic line was nearly foiled by the Hays Code
  • If the South will rise again


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