The 300 Passions Podcast

Fan favourite Ronaldo Sosa was kind enough to agree to discuss a very odd relationship drama. We questioned whether Erich von Stroheim is sexy, and asked why the prologue is so misleading.

The delightful Michael Denniston was absolutely on fire in this episode. He brought out hot takes about Jenna Elfman's career and found ways to make a solid defence of a film that doesn't often get talked about. We tried to dig into a largely forgotten star vehicle and figure out why studios have become so unwilling to fund projects of this size.

Dave and I had a friendly disagreement over this Stanley Donen blockbuster. Fortunately, Dave is so nice that we ended up having a polite discussion, rather than getting truly angry. We also briefly talked about Catherine Deneuve. 

I apologise for the audio issues. I was able to fix a lot of them, but I couldn't get rid of all of them without removing significant chunks of the discussion.

The extraordinary Jackson DeStefano had some hot takes to throw out when it came to talking about this highly influential classic. I was left babbling about Lauren Bacall while he provided sophisticated analysis of the film's themes.

Chris Makas, of the Categorically Oscars podcast, was kind enough to join me to discuss A Touch of Class. It's one of the few Academy Award-winning films that he had not yet seen and we both liked talking about Glenda Jackson's witty, emotionally searing performance. We also considered the culture clash that arises when posh Brits decide to date ordinary American blokes.

Calum Reed, host of the critically acclaimed Categorically Oscars podcast, joined me to talk about 1976's Robin and Marian. As usual, the conversation got off track and we ended up talking about Grace Kelly in The Country Girl, Richard Lester's filmography and all sorts of other topics. I was also forced to work through my complicated relationship with 1950s Audrey Hepburn.

The wonderful Grant Zepernick joined me to discuss this fairly controversial romantic comedy. We delved into Kevin Smith's odd late-1990s career trajectory, Ben Affleck's bold acting choices and the way that the film views Alyssa's struggle to define her sexual orientation.

I had the great honour of discussing this classic Tracy-Hepburn romantic comedy with the wonderful host of the Happily Ever Aftermath podcast. Diana was an absolute delight and it was interesting to talk about the tropes present in comedies of remarriage with somebody who has such a vast knowledge of the romantic comedy genre. There's also Angela Bassett appreciation in this episode and everybody can get behind that.

The talented and amazing Kristin Battestella joined me to discuss this fairly obscure Shakespeare adaptation. We also found time to reflect on Under Capricorn, Kristin's surprising dissatisfaction with Claudette Colbert, Leslie Howard's work as a spy, John Barrymore being awful and when Rita Hayworth's career took off. Surprisingly, we were somewhat opposed when it came to the film at hand. Norma Shearer causes me to take unreasonable stances.
