Mike and Jenny wrap up the 1927-28 miniseries with the winner of Outstanding Picture, the WWI flyboy drama Wings. How does it measure up to its lofty place in history?

Plus, we rank the movies of the 1st Academy Awards, plan out our next two miniseries so you can watch along, and make another special announcement (which The Man forced our hand on).
