Episode Details

There are certain weeks of the year when there is just a little more stardust in the air, and that is certainly true of Oscar week. In anticipation of the coveted awards show, we are joined by film historians and bestselling authors, Jeanine Basinger and Sam Wasson, for a conversation through Hollywood history (which is chronicled in Jeanine and Sam's exceptional biography, Hollywood: The Oral History). We are what we read, and we are also what we watch. Jeanine and Sam spotlight the greatest in show business in this informative, vibrant episode about the movies that built our souls.
