Ed Wood & 1994 Best Picture w/ Andrew Carden

Season 2 · Episode 17

Friday, October 7, 2022 • Duration 01:13:28

Hollywood loves movies about themselves, or do they...?

(p.s. sorry for the choppy audio at times, I guess Ed Wood snuck into this episode in more ways than one.)

Sally Hawkins in Happy-Go-Lucky & 2008 Best Actress w/ Christof

Season 2 · Episode 16

Friday, September 16, 2022 • Duration 52:20

Should Sally Hawkins have received her first Oscar nomination for Mike Leigh's 2008 dramedy? And could she have bested Kate Winslet to the top prize?

Andie MacDowell in Sex, Lies and Videotape & 1989 Best Actress w/ Will Steele

Season 2 · Episode 15

Friday, September 2, 2022 • Duration 02:03:50

If the Academy awarded Oscars for titles alone, Sex, Lies and Videotape would take the cake. And if the Best Actress category respected indies, so would the perennially underrated Andie MacDowell. Also, stay tuned for the Pfeiffer v. Tandy discourse.

Hud & 1963 Best Picture w/ Fritz

Season 2 · Episode 14

Friday, August 12, 2022 • Duration 01:49:37

If the Academy was ever a stickler for quantity over quality, 1963 would be their poster child.

The wonderful Fritz joins for this discussion that covers Martin Ritt's cynical anti-hero western Hud (5:12). We also chat about the category's mammoth-sized films, America America (23:40), Cleopatra (42:50) and How the West Was Won (1:06:40), with the short and sweet Lilies of the Field (1:16:43) a nice break. Then, it's time for Best Picture victor Tom Jones (1:25:26). Listen to that segment for a perspective you don't often hear...

Mulholland Drive & 2001 Best Picture w/ Brian Rowe

Season 2 · Episode 12

Friday, July 8, 2022 • Duration 01:10:07

A David Lynch discussion always warrants starting at the end and working forward. Take a drive with us down Mulholland Drive… Spoilers incoming! Watch out for the roadblocks aka the 2001 Best Picture nominees.

For an in-depth analysis of everything Mulholland Drive, check out Brian’s 20th Anniversary episode over at Film at Fifty. Also check out our recap of the 44th Academy Awards while you’re there ;)

Hanna Schygulla in The Marriage of Maria Braun & 1979 Best Actress w/ Eoin Daly

Season 2 · Episode 11

Friday, June 24, 2022 • Duration 02:07:38

Never a better day to chat Fassbinder. Schygulla missed out on the Oscar for the likes of Field, Fonda, Clayburgh, Mason and Midler. Should she have been nominated alongside that group?

Pam Grier in Jackie Brown & 1997 Best Actress w/ Sam Meltzer

Season 2 · Episode 10

Friday, June 10, 2022 • Duration 01:01:13

We naturally gave Pam Grier her flowers, though Julie Christie in Afterglow did take over the chat.

Blue Velvet & 1986 Best Picture w/ Ronaldo Sosa

Season 2 · Episode 9

Friday, May 27, 2022 • Duration 01:13:22

The L.A. Times called Blue Velvet's director nomination the "only spice on an expected Oscar bill." Now imagine what it could have done in Best Picture. A quintet thankfully saved by the likes of Hannah and Her Sisters and A Room with a View.

Season 2 · Episode 8

Saturday, May 14, 2022 • Duration 01:21:46

Gordon from The Lone Acting Nominees Podcast @loneactingnoms jumps on for a chat about early Jonathan Demme by way of Melvin and Howard; one of our personal favourites, Ordinary People, plus the stack of 1980's Best Picture nominees that comfortably appease Academy taste.
