The Matineecast

Episode 51


Listen Later

As is customary around these parts, the biggest discussion of the Oscar nominees was saved for the audio component of this space, and for good reason. There are very few people I know who are as warmly passionate about The Academy Awards as my guest on this episode. So it went without saying that she had to come back for another kick at the can.

We discuss Woody, Sorkin, McTeer, Chastain, Plummer, Jonah, Viola, Meryl, Rooney, Pitt, Clooney, Oldman, Marty, Michel, Malick, and many, many more. So many more that we go on a little bit longer than last year’s show! Apologies if you prefer brevity in your podcast, the next episode will get back down to time.

I mention this within the show, but it needs to be repeated – my guest this week is a champ. For some wacky reason, my computer didn’t want to co-operate but she showed nothing but patience and graciousness as I struggled to keep things moving forward. I’m much obliged.

Here’s what’s in store in episode fifty-one…
