Another week, another episode!!! Gather round as we talk about the book of the month, I Almost Forgot About You by Terry McMillan. This week we discuss Georgia's path to self discovery and how a couple of 20-somethings can relate to a story about finding yourself again in middle age. 

These are 100% accurate, and we are 100% certain of this. ***This is a Non-Spoiler Episode*** Unless you consider us predicting the 2019/2020 Oscars perfectly, then this is a spoiler filled episode. 2019 Movies We Didn’t Cover Last Episode - 1:43 (JoJo Rabbit, Fair and Balanced, Lucy and Desi, I Almost Forgot About You, Fonzo, Benedetta, Animated Films, The Joker) How We’re Doing This - 9:50 Animated Feature Predictions - 10:31 Supporting Actress Nom Predictions - 12:36 Supporting Actor Nom Predictions - 16:25 Lead Actress Nom Predictions - 20:56 Lead Actor Nom Predictions - 28:20 Best Director Nom Predictions - 35:34 Best Picture Nom Predictions - 41:34 Recapping Our 100% Accurate 2018/19 Picks - 46:41 Our 100% Accurate Picks - 51:30 Words of Wisdom/Talk to Us/Social Media - 56:04 Part one of our 100% Accurate 2020 Oscar Predictions profiled each of the Pictures, and we add a few movies to that list early in this episode. Then as we follow our 100% accurate process of predicting the future, we make our Picks here in part two. Perhaps we slept on Joaquin Phoenix as the next Joker. Taika Watiti has a new comedy-drama coming out about WWII with Sam Rockwell and Scarlett Johanssen. There’s a Roger Ailes biopic with a tremendous cast of actresses like Charlize Theron & Margot Robbie squaring off against John Lithgow as Ailes. Then we’re getting a Lucille Ball movie with Cate Blanchette and written by Aaron Sorkin at some point over the next two years. We profile those movies before we dive into a big 7 categories. Last year, we predicted the 4 acting and director categories. So we added Picture and Animated Feature to that list this year. We give you our top 3 likely nominees and mention some of the other contenders to refresh you on what that field will look like. Then after we go over our picks from last year at this time before deciding upon our final picks this year. This series kicks off our 2019 film year, and we’ll be diving into that headlong next week with two episodes on Captain Marvel & one OSP on the holdover, Fighting With My Family. Jordan Peele’s Us makes its theatrical run soon after, and as you now know, after we just profiled all the likely Oscar contenders, 2019 will keep the great films coming fast & furious. MMO Weekly will cover our latest #SixDegreesOfMMO Challenge of Florence Pugh to Kendrick Lamar, we’ll also discuss some audience questions, and then we’ll have a hefty What We’re Watching segment followed by an even heftier News segment with all the Oscars fallout and newly announced films & newly released trailers.

Terry McMillan – world-renowned author of Waiting to Exhale, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, and the new I Almost Forgot About You – joins Faith for a frank and funny talk that explores her strong views on personal growth and why it’s so important to create stories that reflect middle-aged women and their sexual needs. Terry also reads an unpublished poem that she wrote following her highly-publicized (and painful) divorce.

This talk took place on July 7, 2016 at the Moss Theatre in Santa Monica and is part of the Live Talks Los Angeles series. Terry McMillan is the bestselling author of Waiting to Exhale, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, A Day Late and a Dollar Short, and The Interruption of Everything and the editor of Breaking Ice: An Anthology of Contemporary African-American Fiction. Each of Ms. McMillan’s seven previous novels was a New York Times bestseller, and four have been made into movies: Waiting to Exhale (Twentieth Century Fox, 1995); How Stella Got Her Groove Back (Twentieth Century Fox, 1998); Disappearing Acts (HBO Pictures, 1999); and A Day Late and a Dollar Short (Lifetime, 2014). McMillan fell in love with books as a teenager while working at the local library. She studied journalism at UC Berkeley and screenwriting at Columbia before making her fiction debut with Mama, which won both the Doubleday New Voices in Fiction Award and the American Book Award.Visit her website. In I Almost Forgot About You, Dr. Georgia Young’s wonderful life–great friends, family, and successful career–aren’t enough to keep her from feeling stuck and restless. When she decides to make some major changes in her life, quitting her job as an optometrist, and moving house, she finds herself on a wild journey that may or may not include a second chance at love. Like Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back, I Almost Forgot About You shows what can happen when you face your fears, take a chance, and open yourself up to life, love, and the possibility of a new direction. Lisa Napoli is a career journalist who has worked at The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and has covered arts and culture for KCRW.  She’s the author of the book, Radio Shangri-La, about her time in and around the kingdom of Bhutan, where she went to start a radio station at the dawn of democratic rule.  She is the author of the upcoming book, The Man Who Made the McDonald’s Fortune and the Woman Who Gave It All Away, to be published November 2016. She is the proud recipient of the 2014 Halo Award from the Deutsch Family Foundation for a monthly volunteer cooking group she leads at the Downtown Women’s Center on Skid Row.

“I don’t think that humor is evasive at all. It’s how we protect our hearts from just bleeding to death.” Bestselling author Terry McMillan knows how to write funny yet complex female characters: Savannah in Waiting to Exhale, Stella in Stella’s Got Her Groove Back, and Georgia in her latest novel, I Almost Forgot About You. Whether they’re wrestling with heartbreak, grief, or loneliness, these women use humor to face whatever life throws at them. But these characters are simply taking the lead from their creator, who sees humor as a way of “protect[ing] our hearts from just bleeding to death.”

Legendary novelist Terry McMillan chats with Linda Sivertsen and guest host Dani Shapiro while on tour for her 8th novel, I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT YOU, currently getting rave reviews from the New York Times Book Review, The Los Angeles Times, and O magazine, to name a few. Terry's #1 New York Times bestsellers Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back were hit films (starring Whitney Houston and Angela Bassett). Once again she's created what readers expect from a McMillan book—characters full of wit and rich with friendship… oh, and great sex scenes, but we’ll get to that later. Like Dani (author of Still Writing, and also a bestselling novelist and memoirist, who was a guest of this podcast late last year), Terry’s taught for years as a professor, so they'll be talking craft and inspiration in this ridiculously fun interview filled with hilarity and adult language. Heads up! If you’ve got kids within earshot, you might want to push pause. Linda, Dani, and Terry will be ready when you are—slightly rebellious and always grateful—digging deep, and going for the light.
