The boys continue their dive into 1997’s Best Picture nominees and box office giants with a trip to the seedy streets of L.A. Confidential. Brandon and Kyle dig into the film’s tangled web of cops, corruption, and celebrity scandal to decide if this really is a neo-noir masterpiece or just an empty trench coat. Pour a scotch, grab your press pass, and get money to bribe the watch commander because we're heading to the City of Angels. L.A. Confidential stars Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger, Kevin Spacey, and Danny DeVito; directed by Curtis Hanson.

Brandon and Kyle are back in the cockpit for another high-flying entry in their series on Best Picture nominees and box office juggernauts of 1997—this time, it's Air Force One. Forget international diplomacy—this one’s all about sky-high suspense and presidential punches. Can Harrison Ford’s action-hero commander-in-chief hold his own among Oscar hopefuls, or is this just a sub-standard Die Hard at 30,000 feet?

Air Force One stars Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Glenn Close, and Dean Stockwell; directed by Wolfgang Petersen.
