• Oscar Rewind: ‘Brokeback Mountain’ at 20

Listen as Sophia and Nick detail their love for the film, share some of their favorite shots and scenes, and thank the movie theater gods for rereleasing it in theaters worldwide.Despite its remarkable awards run, there’s no forgetting that Crash went home with the big prize instead at the 2006 Academy Awards (42:43). Find out how they’d rank these two movies on their ballots and if they think history could repeat itself with a similar showdown!
