The Revenant / Mellow Corn

April 27, 2020 04:29 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MBBob and Brad continue their series of Robin Williams films with the little-seen 1990 film Awakenings. Despite its several Oscar nominations, including one for Best Actor for Robert De Niro, this film seems to have been somewhat forgotten in the 30 years since its release.
