The CCD Podcast: Episode #91 - The Oscars 2016

This years Oscars has no shortage of press coverage. Between the talks of boycotts, the possibility of legends winning for the first time, and of course the always unpredictable Chris Rock on the mic as the host we are sure to be in for quite an evening. But what the show should really be all about is the movies... and this year there certainly was a great group of nominees. In most categories there is a really tight competition, and in order to make sense of some of the things that might happen CCD's own husband and wife duo of Jedi Rob and the lovely Alicia Gomes break it all down for you! Enjoy the episode!

The CCD Podcast: Episode #43 - Geniuses In Movies of the Past or "I'm Wicked Smat... How Do Ya Like Dem Apples?"

Genius in movies always seem to do well at the Oscars... and with this years Theory of Everything and The Imitation Game leading the way this is seems to be happening once again. Since we here at The CCD Podcast love to be topical we decided to dedicate a whole episode looking back at the many types of geniuses that have littered the celluloid through the history of cinema. Some of the ones you love will be there, and others you may have forgot... but all of them used their big brains to make a mark on the films they were in. So sit back, fire up the ole microwave and make some pop corn (a genius invention x 2!), and enjoy this episode after the jump!

My Top 10 Oscar Memories of 2014... and Three Things I Hated: A CCD Rant by Mike D

So... it's finally over. Now that the Academy Awards have taken place, people can shift their bitching and moaning from who was nominated & who was snubbed to who won and who got the shaft. The Oscars always are divisive and cause arguments among film fans, but that is why they are so epic. I remember getting the pull outs of the nominees the day of the awards out of the Sunday paper as a kid and filling out my bracket, and often remember my parents and grandparents helping me to see all the films that were nominated. It holds a special place in my heart, so watching the show now if more of a "must do" behavior as opposed to "want to" behavior. I have to watch the show. That about sums it up. But there were some moments that were just perfect... basically the things you have come to know and love from the show. There were also a few things I hated. Not many, but a few. So here it goes... my 2014 Oscar recap rant, in all its snark and splendor. Hope you enjoy it...

CCD Jacks The Oscars - Year 2: Jeff Bond's Oscar Picks

Another year in film has come and gone and, my, what a year it's been. The Academy Awards air live this Sunday February 27th and a lot of us will be front and center for all the action!

I'm saddened, once again to see a shit-ton of my favorite films totally snubbed in one way or another. Films like 'Get Low' which featured some of the greatest film work of Bill Murray and Robert Duvall to date...or 'The Town' which was yet another showcase of Ben Affleck's directing talents! Not too mention the absolute genius that was 'Enter the Void' or 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World'! But, I digress...the Academy wants what the Academy wants. So in choosing this years possible winners I've stuck to the nominees even when making my own personal picks for favorites to win. Without further ado I give you my Academy Awards picks for the year AND as an added bonus, since I am the author of 'Lego Iconic' articles monthly here at CCD, I've included film art made up entirely of Lego  ....and dreams.
