The movies may be silent but we're most certainly not! Mike and Jenny kick off the first Academy Awards with the nominees for Unique and Artistic Picture, traveling from the jungle to the urban jungle with Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness and The Crowd. Are the animals the true stars of Chang (even though most of them get killed by humans)? Is The Crowd inspirational or soul-destroying (or both)? Which character does Mike relate to hard (hint: it's not Chang)? Plus talking monkeys, when a documentary isn't a documentary, and more New York City talk.
