Our take on The Academy Museum Podcast

The Academy Museum Podcast, a collaboration between the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and LAist Studios, takes you through cinematic history. One episode at a time, Jacqueline Stewart uncovers the links between the Academy Awards and broader social and cultural developments. Its first season, titled "And The Oscar Goes To…", is a 10-episode series focused on defining years of the Oscars, with exclusive interviews, audio archives, and scholarly commentary, providing a fresh perspective on crucial moments in the film industry. The second season focuses on casting directors and their critical, yet often underestimated role in shaping movies and actors' careers. From deciding who embodies a character to influencing broader social perceptions, this series shows all the complexities of casting. The Academy Museum Podcast is an entertainment news podcast by LAist Studios.
