March 24, 2026 Aggressively Average ("A Beautiful Mind")
Milquetoast. Mid. Mayonaise on white bread.
Those are some of the nice things we have to say about 2001’s A BEAUTIFUL MIND, which went on to win Best Picture at the 74th Academy Awards because … who knows.
Directed by Ron Howard, A BEAUTIFUL MIND is a biopic about mathematician John Nash (Russell Crowe), a schizophrenic whose life goes off the rails and must be put back on track with the help of his student-turned-wife Alicia (Jennifer Connelly). Y’know, quintessential Oscar-bait bullshit.
In our bonus feature segment, we talk about the nature of biopics, our favorites and least favorites, and their proliferation in recent years.

March 17, 2026 Podcast on a Tuesday Morning ("Murder on a Sunday Morning" with Antonio, a lawyer-to-be)
The third movie in our Oscars Month collection, unfortunately, might be even more important than it was in 2001.
MURDER ON A SUNDAY MORNING was directed by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade and released Sept. 14, 2001 — a few days after a consequential Tuesday in America. It documents the trial and defense of Brenton Butler, a 15-year-old who on May 7, 2000, was charged with the murder of Mary Stephens, a tourist who was robbed and killed in front of her husband James, who identified Butler as the killer.
de Lestrade, a trained journalist from France, turned to documentary filmmaking in the 1990s and has spent decades chronicling the U.S. legal system. MURDER ON A SUNDAY MORNING, which won the Oscar for Best Documentary (Feature) at the 74th Academy Awards, highlights just how flawed it was and still is.
We’re joined this week by Antonio, one a Slate’s longtime friends and a former co-host of the podcast Silver Screens and Speakers. He’s studying to be a lawyer and is a Black man.
In our bonus feature segment, we attempt to have a conversation about systemic racism, white privilege and bigotry. It’s free flowing but, I think, valuable. We hope you’ll stick around for that and that you’ll watch the movie. It’s free on YouTube.

March 10, 2026 That's That Lynch Espresso ("Mulholland Drive")
Our second movie featured during Oscars Month is MULHOLLAND DRIVE, a critically acclaimed classic hailed not just as one of the best movies released in the 21st Century, but ever.
Time’s been much kinder to MULHOLLAND DRIVE than the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was in 2002. It received a single nomination for Best Director, the late David Lynch’s third and final nomination in that category; he never won.
Originally conceived as a TV pilot, MULHOLLAND DRIVE follows an aspiring actress (Naomi Watts) and an amnesiac woman (Laura Harring) through a Hollywood dreamscape of auditions, conspiracies, coffee and existential dread. There’s also a cowboy and Billy Ray Cyrus, and they’re not the same person!
For this week’s bonus feature, Slate leads us through a discussion of TV’s impact on actors and movie-making (and movie-watching). Our discussion about the movie starts about 38 minutes into the show after some lengthy talk about the movies up for awards at the 98th Academy Awards, scheduled for March 15, 2026.

March 03, 2026 My Kingdom for a Pack of Smokes ("No Man's Land")
It’s Oscars Month here on Not Another 2001 Movie Podcast, and we’re kicking things off with NO MAN’S LAND, the winner of Best Foreign Language Film at the 74th Academy Awards in 2002.
NO MAN’S LAND was the first narrative feature film directed by Danis Tanović, who also wrote and scored the movie. It stars Branko Duric as Ciki, a Bosnian soldier, and Rene Bitorajac as Nino, a Serbian soldier, who get trapped together in a trench between the warring frontlines.
In addition to the film — which, spoiler, we all loved — we talk about some of the silly things we’d lay our lives on the line for, the demise of cigarettes and the history of international cinema’s recognition, and lack thereof, by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

February 24, 2026 On Isla Nublar, Everyone Can Hear You Scream ("Jurassic Park III")
Can a movie kind of kill a franchise and somehow still be the second best movie in that franchise? JURASSIC PARK III suggests “yes.”
BEN?!? ERIC?!?
Give a B-movie a $175 million (inflation-adjusted) budget and the result is this flick by Joe Johnston, the man behind the 1991 cult classic THE ROCKETEER and 1995 smash hit JUMANJI who would later go on to remake THE ROCKETEER as CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER in 2011. BEN?!? ERIC?!?
Sam Neill gave up a role in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy to return as the raptor-loving Alan Grant here, a decision that certainly makes him a first-ballot qualifier in the “Worst Hollywood Career Choices Hall of Fame.” William H. Macy’s here to save his kid with his ex-wife Téa Leoni, who’s just here to scream.
ERRRRRRRICCCCC?!?!
This movie’s wacky. Plan accordingly.
BENNNNNNN?!?!

February 17, 2026 It's a Party, It's a Party, It's a Party ("Gosford Park")
Robert Altman is rolling over in his grave.
GOSFORD PARK earned the iconic director his fifth Oscar nomination for Best Director and earned a place in the Best Picture field — which is the reason why it was an automatic qualifier for this show!
We could list the cast but podcast description fields probably can’t accommodate that many characters. This forebear to DOWNTON ABBEY is lean on plot and heavy on setting, a signature Altman cocktail that certainly isn’t for everyone but that often makes for a one-of-a-kind watch.
Our party might be more contentious than the one in the movie, but here’s to having a good time as we determine whether GOSFORD PARK matters in 2026. Come sip our poison!

February 14, 2026 BONUS: Love Hurts ("Valentine" with Merrilee from "Fear Coded: A Queer Horror Podcast")
How much do we love our listeners? You get not one but TWO bonus episodes this week!
And what would Valentine’s Day be without VALENTINE, a horror flick that time’s attempted to forget but that everyone associated with this show — especially Allison!!! — is determined to preserve.
We welcomed Merrilee, co-host of FEAR CODED: A QUEER HORROR PODCAST, joined us to discuss Jamie Blanks’ second (and lesser?) mid-budget slasher. It stars Denise Richards, Marley Shelton, several future GREY’S ANATOMY stars and David Boreanaz, whose name has never been more butchered than in this podcast.
Does VALENTINE matter in 2026? You probably know the answer but let’s have fun finding out anyway.

February 12, 2026 BONUS: Ridley Scott's Barely 2001 Movie ("Black Hawk Down")
HANNIBAL isn’t the only movie Ridley Scott made that was released in 2001.
BLACK HAWK DOWN barely qualifies, but its limited release in 2001 ahead of a wider January 2002 release made it eligible for the 74th Academy Awards, so it officially counts in our canon.
How does BLACK HAWK DOWN hold up 25 years later? Are its facts straight? Where does it sit in the Ridley Scott filmography? Have helicopters ever looked cooler?
And, of course, does it matter today? Put in your ear plugs and dive in with us.

February 10, 2026 Eatin' Good in the Neighborhood ("Hannibal" with journalist Brian Raftery)
Bowels in or bowels out, Brian?
This week we’re thrilled to welcome Brian Raftery, author of HANNIBAL LECTOR: A LIFE, to discuss a movie we’re less thrilled to talk about: HANNIBAL!
Directed by Ridley Scott, this bid to turn an iconic supporting character from one of the greatest movies ever made into a top-billed anti-hero is about as ill-prepared as Ray Liotta’s brain. Alas, audiences turned out in droves for it in 2001, affirming Hannibal Lector’s mighty place in pop culture.
Dine with us for a bit as we make our way to answering if HANNIBAL matters in 2026?

February 03, 2026 Touched for the Very First Time ("Moulin Rouge!")
Baz Luhrmann’s MOULIN ROUGE! is as unapologetically raucous as it is romantic. A jukebox musical built on pop songs and doomed love, it might be a bigger shock to the senses than a vat of absinthe.
It’s a lot, but it’s also a lot of fun — especially for Nicole Kidman in a bonafide star-making turn as Satine, the luminescent object of almost every person’s affection, tuberculosis and all.
Come listen to us sing its praises on our way to answering does MOULIN ROUGE! matter in 2026?
