Forrest Gump
Manage episode 323146777 series 2931131
If the film Forrest Gump is to be believed, you can run away from a lot of things in life, but you can’t run away from the truth. The truth in this case is that the geniuses in the Academy thought that Forrest Gump deserved the honor of being called Best Picture, and then they made that same mistake again with Argo. On this episode, Jess and Jamal are joined by Jamal’s former roommate Parker to hack through a forest’s worth of willful historical inaccuracies and settle a long-standing debate about where Gump himself belongs in the story of Argo.
