Not Her Again

We're back! And with a great episode all about Katharine Hepburn's second Oscar win for 1967's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. She starred alongside Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier and her real-life niece in this movie that tackles interracial marriage.  Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as we discuss the partnership of Hepburn and Tracy, our thoughts on The Graduate, and whether this could have been a stage play instead.  Subscribe here: http://apple.co/2xNuu0Q Thank you to Lyanne Natividad for our podcast artwork and Braxton Burks for our theme music!

Today, we're diving into an Oscar race that is so fraught with history that an entire episode of Ryan Murphy's Feud was dedicated to it. It's the 1962 race featuring Katharine Hepburn in Long Day's Journey Into Night vs. Anne Bancroft in The Miracle Worker. Oh, and Bette Davis was nominated for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?  Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as we break down the American canon, Patty Duke's thoughts on The Miracle Worker, and whether Joan Crawford had successfully contacted Hepburn to accept the Oscar on her behalf.  Subscribe here: http://apple.co/2xNuu0Q Thank you to Lyanne Natividad for our podcast artwork and Braxton Burks for our theme music!

Emergency podcast alert: Framing Britney Spears dropped last week, and as a lifelong Britney fan, I had to talk to someone about it. So I called up my sister Laura, a true Britney disciple, to do a deep dive. We talk about the documentary, Britney's enduring appeal, what the #FreeBritney movement gets right, and also what we think it gets wrong. If you want a supplement to Framing Britney Spears, then you're in the right place.  We'll be back soon with a normal episode on Katharine Hepburn (already recorded!), but for now, enjoy this brief diversion.  Fun fact: both of us saved all of our thoughts for the podcast, and right before recording we both said we had learned exactly two things from the doc. Those ended up being the same two things. Listen to find out what we, as Britney scholars, learned.

Katharine Hepburn. Elizabeth Taylor. Montgomery Clift. 1959's Suddenly, Last Summer is a star-studded adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play that touches on everything from homosexuality to insanity to cannibalism. It's a pretty wild ride.  Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and special guest Matt Erspamer (@erspamer_matt) as they discuss Katharine Hepburn as an ultra-rich Southern widow, how this film got past the censors, and some of the women who didn't make it into the Best Actress race that year.  Subscribe here: http://apple.co/2xNuu0Q Thank you to Lyanne Natividad for our podcast artwork and Braxton Burks for our theme music! 

Sorry for the absence — we were going across towns in the American Midwest trying to sell folks a drum that will produce rain. If that sounds up your alley, boy do we have an episode for you. Katharine Hepburn was nominated for Best Actress for her role in 1956's The Rainmaker, but she ultimately lost to Ingrid Bergman, whose portrayal of a would-be royal is deeply... not good?  Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walt (@walthickey) as we discuss reading The Rainmaker as a trans text, whether boxers play "matches" or "games," and why Deborah Kerr never won an Oscar.  Subscribe here: http://apple.co/2xNuu0Q Thank you to Lyanne Natividad for our podcast artwork and Braxton Burks for our theme music!

We're deep in the spinster phase of Katharine Hepburn's career at this point. Hot off the heels of her work in 1951's The African Queen, Hepburn was back in a major way in David Lean's Summertime, a quiet masterpiece about a woman who goes on a trip to Venice and finds love, or something like it, along the way.  Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and special guest Caden Mark Gardner (on Instagram as @corpsesfoolsandmonsters) as they discuss Hepburn's performance, her loss to Anna Magnani at the Oscars, and Burt Lancaster's body of work.

Two women who skyrocketed to fame in the 1930s are back in the mix at the 24th Academy Awards. Katharine Hepburn starred alongside Humphrey Bogart in the action-adventure movie The African Queen, while Vivien Leigh was back with the film adaptation of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as they discuss how Humphrey Bogart avoided falling ill on location, the trouble with adapting a play for the big screen, and Marlon Brando's Brandoness.

It's Woman of the Year and Mrs. Miniver this week on Not Her Again! One of these movies came out in early 1942, and the other at the end of the year — you can probably guess which is which based on the plots of the movies.  Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as we talk about the first Hepburn-Tracy pairing, Greer Garson's marriage to her on-screen son, and why a famous speech from Mrs. Miniver was printed out on leaflets and dropped over German-occupied territories during the war.

It was the battle of the faux Philadelphians with Katharine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story and Ginger Rogers in Kitty Foyle. Why were the 13th Academy Awards so dominated by America's third-most prominent second city? Why is Ginger Rogers talking like that? And why was Joan Fontaine's mother so passive aggressive?  Well, we might not have all the answers, but we have plenty of theories. Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as we dive into all of the Philadelphianess of 1940.

You can't win 'em all. Katharine Hepburn got a quick follow-up Oscar nomination after her first win, but this time she lost to Bette Davis in 1935's Dangerous, a film with a name so vague it's impossible to discern what it's about. As an added incentive to listen: across three seasons of this podcast, this episode contains my favorite Oscar trivia I've ever come across. We're diving into all things Dangerous and Alice Adams, so kick back and enjoy an incredibly sweaty dinner with Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey), won't you?  Subscribe here: http://apple.co/2xNuu0Q Thank you to Lyanne Natividad for our podcast artwork and Braxton Burks for our theme music!

New theme music, same us. This season we're covering the career of Katharine Hepburn, considered one of the twentieth century's acting legends. We'll be looking back on Hepburn's twelve Oscar nominations, and today we're starting with her first nomination, for 1933's Morning Glory. Hepburn won the Oscar but, in typical Hepburn fashion, was not around to accept. That would happen three more times. Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as they talk about Kate, why Kate and co-star Adolphe Menjou couldn't stand each other, and why Cavalcade is the most entertaining movie you've never seen.

In June, headlines all over the world announced earth shattering news, the likes of which we had never seen before: Julia Roberts, the pretty woman herself, had joined Instagram.  Was it fate that we had just started recording our Julia Roberts miniseries, or something more? Something, perhaps, divine? Join us as we discuss Julia's Instagram posts, including her selfies, her frequent use of a good Google image of a friend, and her meme game.

We have a few more Julia-specific episodes planned — including our thoughts on the upcoming Ben Is Back and her new Amazon series Homecoming — but we wanted to thank you all for listening along as we covered the career of America's Sweetheart.  On our final regular episode, join us as we discuss the politics of Money Monster, what ever happened to Jack O'Connell, and why we stan Charlotte in Wonder.

In 2010, studios weren't sure if audiences would flock to see rom-coms the way they had in the '80s and '90s. In order to lure people in, more and more big-name stars were cast in a single film. In Valentine's Day, Julia Roberts plays opposite Bradley Cooper in an ensemble that has everyone from Shirley MacLaine to Taylor Swift. In the less-crowded Mother's Day, Julia's co-stars include Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, and arguably Kate Hudson (who is basically in a different movie). Join us as we discuss Julia's reteaming with Garry Marshall, why the movie industry doesn't deserve Anne Hathaway, and whether anyone can name a single recent Kate Hudson film.  Hosted by Michael (@cateblanchetttt), with Katherine (@sadbabybop) and Drew (@drew_murray12).

Julia returned to leading roles with two back-to-back movies. First, she reteamed with Clive Owen for 2009's espionage rom-com Duplicity. She followed that up with 2010's Eat Pray Love, based on the stupidly successful memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert. After years of smaller parts and roles in ensemble movies, Julia was back as the leading lady — but how did audiences and critics respond? Join us as we discuss Duplicity's confusing time jumps, whether Julia actually touched that elephant in Eat Pray Love, and why Liz Gilbert chose to go to Italy, India, and Indonesia.

After a few years off the big screen, Julia teamed up with Tom Hanks for Charlie Wilson's War. Though a small part, Julia plays a key historical figure who swears she "did not make al-Qaeda." Charlie Wilson's War also ended up being director Mike Nichols' last film. A few years later, Roberts teamed up with Hanks again in Larry Crowne, the world's most aggressively pleasant movie.  Join us as we discuss whether Taraji P. Henson deserved a bigger part in Larry Crowne, why Lady Gaga should begin shifting to Stefani Germanotta in her acting roles, and why Charlie Wilson's War lost all five Golden Globes for which it was nominated.

After her Oscar win, Julia slowed down a bit. In addition to the first Ocean's movie, she took a small, scene-stealing part in pal George Clooney's Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. But she was clamoring for another go at Oscar glory, so she went the route all respected actors must go at one point or another: an unorthodox teacher whose most important lessons happen outside the classroom. In Mona Lisa Smile, Roberts plays an art history professor who opens the eyes of her students and then, in an emotionally resonant ending... leaves for Europe?  Either which way, she earned $25 million for the part, awards be damned. She followed it up with Mike Nichols' Closer, featuring an ensemble cast of Jude Law, Natalie Portman, and Clive Owen. Join us as we discuss To Sir With Love, whether Helsinki is a romantic getaway, and some of Wellesley's more conservative traditions.  Hosted by Michael (@cateblanchetttt), with Ryley Trahan (@TheRyleyTrahan) and Walt Hickey (@walthickey).

Following her Oscar win, Julia engaged in some lighter fare. In 2001, she was the sole woman in the Ocean's Eleven ensemble. She reprised her role as Tess Ocean in the film's much more meta sequel three years later.

In the late '90s, Julia needed to mix it up. Her romantic comedies were box office juggernauts, but she needed something more. After all, she didn't get into acting to pretend to love Dermot Mulroney. She needed an Oscar.  Stepmom was not the film that would help Julia achieve her goal, but it got her on the path to Oscar glory. It also acclimated audiences to the idea that Julia could convincingly play a mother. In 2000, Julia landed her Oscar vehicle: Erin Brockovich, the true story of a hard-working legal assistant trying to take down a corporation for polluting the water. Big speeches! Female empowerment! A background role for Aaron Eckhart! Erin Brockovich had it all, and in March 2001, Julia marched up the steps of the Shrine Auditorium to collect her Oscar.  Join us as we discuss Julia's chemistry with Ed Harris, whether Stepmom would be better if it were about lesbians, and the much-debated Roberts v. Burstyn Oscar showdown. Hosted by Michael (@cateblanchetttt), with Kevin Jacobsen (@kevin_jacobsen) and Drew Murray (@drew_murray12).

On this episode, we'll be talking about Sleeping with the Enemy, The Pelican Brief, and Mary Reilly.

It's here: the first episode of our new season about the career of Julia Roberts! Julia was the defining movie star of the 1990s, the first woman to earn $20 million per movie, and broke out 30 years ago in a supporting role in Mystic Pizza.

Meryl teamed up with Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks to deliver a timely drama about women in the workplace, freedom of the press, and the danger of being too friendly with politicians. If it sounds like Oscar bait, it wasn't: Despite the pedigree, The Post only landed two nominations. Elsewhere, everything old was new again. Jimmy Kimmel returned as host for the second year in a row. Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty presented Best Picture. And a slew of talented actors walked out of the ceremony without a little gold man.

Meryl landed her 20th nomination for Florence Foster Jenkins, a film which deeply divides the co-hosts on this episode of Not Her Again. But no matter: these will forever be the Oscars haunted by the spectre of the envelope mix-up, with La La Land erroneously named Best Picture for two and a half minutes thanks to some backstage shenanigans. Join us as we discuss Moonlight’s unexpected win, the long journey to the podium for Kevin O’Connell, and the biggest snub of the year: “No Dames” for Best Original Song.

As if August: Osage County weren't enough, 2014 brought us another stage-to-screen adaptation: Into the Woods, based on the Sondheim musical. Meryl landed the juicy role of the Witch in this much-forgotten musical, and got a chance to show off her singing skills. But the main narrative of the night belonged to Birdman vs. Boyhood. Would Hollywood reward a moving portrayal of what it means to grow up, or an overly self-indulgent ode to show biz narcissism? Join us on the latest episode as we discuss Alejandro G.

New episode next week, but just before the biggest night in entertainment Drew and Michael reveal their predictions for the 90th Academy Awards. 

A beloved, prize-winning play adapted into a feature film? What could possibly go wrong? Apparently, a whole lot. Meryl landed a record-breaking 18th nomination for her role as a verbally abusive matriarch in the severely underwhelming August: Osage County. But the night belonged to 12 Years a Slave, which took home Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actress for Lupita Nyong’o. Join us as we discuss Jennifer Lawrence’s scene-stealing in American Hustle, Scarlett Johansson’s nomination-worthy work in Her, and a brief history of the world’s most retweeted tweets.

Meryl was inching ever closer to a third Oscar in 2009, when she appeared in Nora Ephron’s Julie & Julia as famed chef and Definitely Not a Spy Julia Child. Streep would go on to lose the Oscar to Sandra Bullock’s performance as a woman who wears a wig and is Definitely Not a Racist in The Blind Side. Elsewhere, Mo’Nique was making waves as an abusive mother in Precious, Christoph Waltz’s schtick was brand new in Inglourious Basterds, and Kathryn Bigelow was about to make history as the first female director to ever win Best Director at the Oscars.

While most serious Oscar pundits assumed Meryl was a lock for Best Actress for her role in Mamma Mia, Meryl actually got nominated for her more dramatic work in Doubt, written by the guy who brought us Moonstruck. Doubt also features an unforgettable breakout role for Viola Davis, stellar work from Amy Adams, and one of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s most enduring performances. Elsewhere, The Dark Knight was setting box office records as Heath Ledger posthumously won every award in sight, and Slumdog Millionaire became an indie darling.

Martin Scorsese? For Best Director? Groundbreaking. After losing the Best Director prize five times, Scorsese finally scored with The Departed, which also took home Best Picture, beating out films such as The Queen and Little Miss Sunshine. Not competing in the Best Picture category was Dreamgirls, which, despite earning eight nominations, didn’t make the cut. Elsewhere, Meryl was earning raves and dominating the box office with The Devil Wears Prada, Eddie Murphy was having a tough go at the campaigning part of awards season, and Abigail Breslin was happy just to be nominated. Join us as we discuss first-time host Ellen DeGeneres, a surprisingly funny bit with Will Ferrell, and Al Gore’s will-he-or-won’t-he coyness about a presidential run.

Meryl had two major movies in contention at the 75th Academy Awards: The Hours and Adaptation. While she only got a nomination for the latter, her Hours co-star Nicole Kidman ended up winning Best Actress for her role as Virginia Woolf. Elsewhere, controversy brewed over the Best Director race—and not just because of Roman Polanski—and Adrien Brody infamously kissed Halle Berry on his way up to collect his award.

Perhaps the most infamous Oscars in recent memory, the 71st Academy Awards pitted fans of Spielberg war movies against nerds and romantics who like Shakespeare. Shakespeare in Love ended up going home with Best Picture honors, but Saving Private Ryan won Spielberg his second Oscar. Elsewhere, another WWII movie, another Elizabethan movie, and then one more WWII movie scored major nominations. Meryl was nominated for her role as a terminally ill woman in One True Thing and made the cohosts want to call their mothers. Join us as we discuss Roberto Benigni’s chair jumping, the worst choice in Oscar history for an honorary award, and the underrated Gods & Monsters.   Hosted by Michael (@cateblanchetttt), with Drew (@TallestKanyeFan) and Walter (@walthickey).

In one of the biggest snubs of all time, Shirley MacLaine missed a nomination for her role in Postcards from the Edge. But Meryl began a string of great 1990s nominations with her role in the same movie, based on the novel by Carrie Fisher. Elsewhere, Whoopi Goldberg was finally getting her due for Ghost, Martin Scorsese was not getting his for Goodfellas, and a malevolent Kathy Bates hammered her way into our hearts with Misery.
