In the midst of our 30 Days of Oscar, we wrap up this chapter of the podcast with our 100th episode! We get back to our roots and retrace our steps all the way back to our first episode by re-discussing Liam Neeson, but hopefully a lot more smoothly. Also, outside of bumpers, there was zero editing involved. Thankfully we didn't go off on too many tangents and kept the actual discussion under 2 hours. However, in case you missed our first episode (lucky you), the original Liam discussion has been tacked on at the end for a nice comparison. So please enjoy the last episode of the Reel Insight Podcast (for now) and thanks for all you support over the past 99 episodes!

I know last time we said there would be a Helen Mirren episode to look forward to, and there still is, but it won't be this week like we thought. Got some dates mixed up and had to bump up the Oscar nominations episode a week early to be, you know, somewhat relevant. Enjoy!
