In this episode, Kevin speaks with Chris Feil about two performances of the 2010s that weren't nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars: Kirsten Dunst ("Melancholia") and Lupita Nyong'o ("Us"). We discuss their performances, talk about why they came up short, and reveal whether we would have nominated them.

Chris Feil and Joe Reid return to join Katey for a broad overview of the most exciting films ahead this year, from new work from greats like Paul Thomas Anderson, Celine Song and Yorgos Lanthimos to, yes, Wicked: For Good. They also continue their annual tradition of making irresponsibly early best picture predictions, and share some hopes that Colin Farrell, Paul Mescal, Andrew Scott and even some non-Irish actors will have a huge year ahead of them.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we usually talk about movie stars and not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between. Today, however, we talk about Oscar movies (!), or better yet, movies that remind us of Oscar movies! Conor and I welcome back the lovely Joe Reid (co-host of This Had Oscar Buzz, creator of Cinematrix, and Vulture's Movies Fantasy League) & Chris Feil (co-host of This Had Oscar Buzz and writer of a series of great pieces of Oscar history for Vanity Fair). Today, we each choose a movie adjacent to a current Best Picture Oscar nominee. The movies include Seconds, The Name of the Rose, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and The Wolverine. Also discussed is filmmaker Bill Morrison's nomination for his incredible short film Incident, Jean-Jacques Annaud's 1981 film Quest for Fire, and our recent This Had Oscar Buzz guest appearance talking about The Devil's Own. Additionally, there's conversation about Rob McElhenney's Hot Ones episode (in which he discusses the trauma of being cut out of The Devil's Own as a young actor!), the “Hellfire” sequence in Hunchback, and how exactly The Wolverine counts as a B-Side.

With the best picture race still anyone's game, This Had Oscar Buzz co-host Chris Feil joins Katey to ask the big questions that will determine the race, from how international voters play into it to what Clint Eastwood might have in store.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today is Barbra Streisand day! And what a day it is. Just one day after Babs herself announced the start to production of her approved documentary film, in which she plans to unveil the creative contents of her quite famous vault, we here at The B-Side tackle some of the legend's lesser-seen films. They include The Owl and the Pussycat, Up the Sandbox, For Pete's Sake, Nuts, and The Guilt Trip. Our guest on this long-in-the-making journey is Chris Feil, co-host of the incredible This Had Oscar Buzz podcast. We talk about the autobiography in all of its glory. We talk about Barbra's early years, Barbra's late years, her passion for design, her complicated history with movie directors, and her best albums. There's also hefty discussion about A-side Yentl, and why it's funnier and sexier than you remember. It's also a masterpiece. There's debate about how much The Guilt Trip ultimately worked, how exactly Barbra mastered playing a “regular person” by the time The Prince of Tides comes around, and how Nuts would've been better if Barbra had directed it. Additional highlights include mistaking Philip Bosco for Karl Malden, celebrating Richard Dreyfuss playing bothered to perfection, and Chris' post-TIFF takes. Mike Leigh and Marianne Jean-Baptiste save us! And just to note, if you're in NYC for NYFF62, come on out to one (or all!) of our four Cinephile Game Nights, on 9/28. 9/29, 9/30, and 10/8!

We are making amends.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we usually talk about movie stars and not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between. Today, however, we talk about Oscar movies (!), or better yet, movies that were snubbed of Oscar! Conor and Dan welcome the wonderful Joe Reid & Chris Feil of the This Had Oscar Buzz podcast. An official podcast crossover! In today's episode, we each choose an Oscar snub that still sticks in our craw, and use them as a jumping off point for the categories of that respective year. We reference two great past Oscar Buzz eps (A Thousand Acres & Elizabethtown), the lasting influence of Lisa Gerrard, Dan's favorite film performance, Joe's love for Marcelo Zarvos' brilliant score for The Door in the Floor, Chris' admiration of the singular costume (and production) design in Down With Love, and Conor's need to speak up for the masterful Deep Cover.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we usually talk about movie stars and not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between. Today, however, we talk about Oscar movies (!) that time has relegated to B-Side status. These are winners and/or nominees that have been sadly (or not so sadly) forgotten by the masses. Today, Dan and Conor welcome the wonderful Joe Reid of the This Had Oscar Buzz podcast. In their discussions, our guest and his co-host (and former B-Side guest!) Chris Feil dive into myriad films that were released to significant awards buzz, only to earn zero Academy Award nominations. In today's episode, we each choose one film to focus on. Conor's pick is the 1961 Best Picture nominee Fanny. Dan's pick is 1986 Best Picture nominee The Mission from Roland Joffe. Joe's pick is the 1993 film Shadowlands, which features Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger in Oscar-nominated performances. There's plenty of talk about the films our B-Sides were nominated alongside (including the original West Side Story, as well as Children of a Lesser God), the evolving politics of Oscar, and much, much more.

BONUS EPISODE from Vanity Fair's Still Watching:On this special episode of the Still Watching podcast, presented by Apple TV+ and Vanity Fair, hosts Preeti Chhibber and Chris Feil discuss the latest episode, set at the elaborate Mexican hacienda where the Fox family takes refuge after a harrowing journey through the desert. What seems initially to be an oasis, with fancy bedrooms and even an in-house mezcal distillery, quickly turns sinister, particularly with the arrival of family matriarch Lucrecia (Ofelia Medina). By episode's end it's the Fox family matriarch Margot (Melissa George) who has taken control, shepherding her children to safety and wielding a gun in a way that seems to reveal plenty about her and Allie's mysterious past. After discussing the show thus far and how it's telling the story of an American family on the run, Preeti talks to Melissa George about how she came on board the project, how she's playing Margot as a woman born of privilege who decided to go on the run with her eccentric husband, and what might come next in the remaining episodes of Mosquito Coast's seven-part season.

The hosts of This Had Oscar Buzz (Chris Feil & Joe Reid) are back to draft movies that actually WON Oscars! The Oscar for Best Actress, specifically, and only in the 21st Century. In a narrow field that is positively smattered with classics, which 7 will rise to the top?!
Cate Blanchett and Julianne Moore, two actresses linked in our minds as the muses of Todd Haynes, have only shared scenes on screen in 1999’s An Ideal Husband. For this episode Murtada welcomes back Chris Feil, host of This Had Oscar Buzz podcast, to discuss the film, whether it retains the wit of its author Oscar Wilde and the performances of Cate, Julianne, Minnie Driver, Rupert Everett and Jeremy Northam.Produced and Edited by Murtada Elfadl.Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/sundayswithcate)

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we usually talk about movie stars and not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between. Today, however, we talk about Oscar movies (!) that time has relegated to B-Side status. To tackle such a task, Dan and Conor welcome the incredible Chris Feil of the This Had Oscar Buzz podcast. In their discussions, our guest and his co-host Joe Reid dive into myriad films that were released to significant awards buzz, only to earn zero Academy Award nominations. In today's episode, we each choose one film to focus on. Conor's pick is the 1976 Woody Guthrie biopic Bound For Glory. The film earned six Oscar nominations, including wins for Cinematography and Best Music, Adapted. Chris' pick is Ironweed from 1987, starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep, adapted from William Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. Both stars earned lead acting nominations at the 1988 Oscars, though neither won. As for Dan, he chose 1994's The Madness of King George, directed by theater legend Nicholas Hytner and starring Nigel Hawthorne. This adaptation of the Alan Bennett earned four Academy Award nominations, including a win for Art Direction. For those keeping score, this was the “infamous” Oscar ceremony that David Letterman hosted. Spoiler alert: it's pretty funny! UMA...OPRAH! There's also a bit of chatter about Chariots of Fire, a Best Picture winner that we argue now sadly lives in B-Side seclusion. Most reading will know the film for its score alone. As Chris beautifully puts it: “It's the first score to win Best Picture.” Much is made of each Oscar year, from the surprises to the snubs. Oh, and also, we talk about Center Stage, also directed by Hytner! Be sure to give us a follow on Twitter at @TFSBSide.

In podcasting terms, that makes us positively Methuselahian. Since the start of EHG, our listeners have asked if we had a tip jar or donation system and we'd look at each other and say surely that is a joke, people don't pay other people to do podcasts. We'd email them back "Ha ha ha, good one, Chet" and go about our business. Now we are told this is a real thing that real nice people do. Value for value? In today's topsy turvy world?
