Over the years, my circle of friend on the film scenes has extended beyond my Chicago locale. One of those friends from other cities is Joel Winstead. Hailing from North Carolina, Joel works his own website and contributes for Inside the Film Room and Asheville Movies. He is also a member of the North Carolina Film Critics Association and the Southeastern Film Critics Association. Joel recently started a new podcast named “And the Winner Was…” where he goes through film history to talk about each Best Picture Academy Award winner. For this his 5th episode, I joined him to talk about 1932’s Grand Hotel. Be sure to give Joel a like, follow, subscribe, and a review wherever you listen to podcasts!
