Cinematic Breadcrumbs

In light of the most recent big movie event of the year, I decided to put together a "minisode" (that's honestly not even that mini) of my takes on this years Oscars ceremony - the 94th Academy Awards in all its glitz, glamour and gore???

Obviously, I give my thoughts like everyone else on the Will Smith / Chris Rock showdown, but I also wanted to bring focus to the other things overshadowed: the red carpet looks, the hosts and ceremony shticks, the wins & losses and the business of ratings and what they can do about it!

In this episode of Cinematic Breadcrumbs podcast, I dive into one of my absolute favorite movies of the year (2021), "The Worst Person in the World" which as it happens, I got to see by myself on Valentine's Day!

I dive into all my thoughts on this movie, and then top off the episode with an assessment of the current Oscar nomination list, what my predictions are and what I would have liked to see get more credit.

This weeks episode deep dives into "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," the new film starring Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield about the polarizing televangelist and gay icon Tammy Faye Bakker.

On this *special* episode of the pod, we get to hear from special guest- the very talented New York based makeup artist Kim Grabow (who can be found on Instagram @kimgrabowmakeup) - who brings her professional perspective to all aspects of the films make up artistry, including a discussion on permanent makeup, prosthetics and the way that make up can be used to tell a story.

In this episode, I talk about the new Pedro Almodovar movie starring Penelope Cruz "Parallel Mothers," an Oscar nominated film that dives into motherhood, generational trauma, and  unique connections. I saw this at NYFF in fall 2021 with a Q&A, so I talk about some of the anecdotes from behind the scenes and my thoughts on the movie.

In this weeks episode of Cinematic Breadcrumbs podcast, I look at the (newly!) Oscar nominated film "The Power of the Dog" directed by Jane Campion, which stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemmons.

I use this opportunity to breakdown not only this movie, but all my favorite westerns (a throwback to a series I did on ingloriousbaguettes.com in 2020). I also use this - and Valentines Day being around the corner - as an excuse to talk about real-life couples who share the screen - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

This episode breaks down PTA's new vibey movie starring Cooper Hoffman and Alana Haim (yes, of HAIM) which takes place in the San Fernando Valley in the 70s, and compares across other movies in this same cinematic universe: "Boogie Nights" (1999) + "Inherent Vice" (2014), as well as the non-PTA movie "The Nice Guys" (2016) - just cause!

With an ambiance of pure nostalgia, "Licorice Pizza" is full of things to talk about from its controversies to its cameos and what does the title even mean?

To kick off 2022, I am starting with the Swinging Sixties: a new release movie that stars Thomasin Mckenzie and Anya Taylor Joye and combines horror with swinging sixties nostalgia, "Last Night In Soho."

In this episode, I talk about some of the behind the scenes work that went into capturing some of the most memorable scenes (including a Harry Potter cameo!) and the iconic pink silk chiffon dress.

I also analyze the way that films influence us to do things like make a certain type of meal or change our hair, or how nothing sticks with us like a good horror movie - and hear from you guys about a time when a film made that kind of impact on you (thanks again to all who participated!!!).

The witches clip towards the end of the episode is from the show "Pen15" in case you were listening & dying to know.

On this episode of Cinematic Breadcrumbs, we are looking at Hidden Gem #4, a 1947 Best Story nom with plenty of clever hijinx and fun for the whole fam, "It Happened on 5th Avenue." The film ends on New Years Eve, and so does this series, so we're gonna end the episode with a deep dive into all my favorite NYE tropes in movies!

In this weeks episode, we dive into one of my favorite Holiday hidden gems, that is getting more traction in recent years, "The Family Stone," directed by Thomas Bezucha and starring ensemble stacked cast Diane Keaton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Claire Danes, Dermot Mulroney, Luke Wilson, Craig T. Nelson, and more. This movie has some of the best cringe comedy out there, and by watching Meredith Morton, I have been able to compile a thorough list of Not-To-Do's when meeting the family.

I also talk about the COVID crisis happening in NYC right now, what I have been watching lately - specifically diving into The Morning Show season 2 - and some Christmas week recommendations picked out by my Dad! Enjoy & stay safe! To skip directly to when I begin talking about the movie, start at about 20 minutes in!

This week I dive into my favorite George Cukor/Katherine Hepburn/Cary Grant collaboration: "Holiday" (1938) and that's really saying something because I absolutely love "A Philadelphia Story" (1940).

"Holiday" is a holiday rom-com that is based off a brilliant and biting stage play from 1928 by Philip Barry. The episode is short and sweet like the film, but talking about this Hidden Gem allowed me to dive into some Old Hollywood fun facts, but as it was made more than 80 years ago, it also inspired me to fantasize about what a remake of this movie could look like (could never be better, but could be fun!!).
