This week we take another look at the Best Picture winner from 1979, Kramer vs. Kramer. Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman headline this divorce drama directed by Robert Benton. It falls at #49 on our Best Picture Countdown.* Let us know what you think! *What is this list? We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
A dip of our toe into a new concept where we randomly pick a year and a number at the box office and it landed on the Jude 1 favorite, Kramer vs. Kramer. Will this 70s classic bring up hot takes of parenting, marriage, or even life? Is this the most dangerous movie we've ever done? Tune in and find out!!!

Nothing says Halloween more like the time-honored tradition of settling in for a scary movie. Kristen Meinzer is a culture critic and host of the podcast "By The Book" and Rafer Guzman is a film critic for Newsday. Together Kristen and Rafer are the co-hosts of the podcast, Movie Therapy, and they joined The Takeaway to give their picks for Halloween movie prescriptions for different occasions. KRISTEN'S PICKS: Movie prescription for a romantic night: Warm Bodies (2013) A zombie romantic comedy. After a highly unusual zombie saves a still-living girl from an attack, the two form a relationship that sets in motion events that might transform the entire lifeless world. Movie prescription for family viewing: Cruella (2021)Cruella isn't specifically a Halloween movie, but it has that Halloweeny goth vibe and loads of fabulous costumes...as well as our lead's fabulous disguise! Movie prescription for satire/comedy lovers: Velvet Buzzsaw (2019) A satirical horror comedy about the art world - from the snobbery to the wealth to all the people who take themselves way too seriously - starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Zawe Ashton, Rene Russo, Toni Collette, Daveed Diggs, Nitya Vidyasagar, Tom Sturridge, Natalia Dyer, Billy Magnussen, Mig Macario, and John Malkovich. RAFER'S PICKS: Date horror movie: Night of the Comet (1984) Little known horror-comedy from 1984. Great valley-girls-versus-zombies premise, fun cast (Dick Rude, Mary Woronov) and a rare Hispanic leading man. Cute, funny, scary and romantic. Joss Whedon cited it as one inspiration for “Buffy and the Vampire Slayer.” Horror movie with the kids: Gremlins (1984) I still love this movie, which I saw as a kid, and I was just delighted by it. During the pandemic, I rented a movie theater for my son's birthday, and this is what we saw. I was really happy to see them jump out of their chairs one minute and then crack up the next. Plus it takes place during Christmas, so it's really an all-fall holiday treat. Best ‘70s horror movie you probably haven't seen: The Brood (1979)Early David Cronenberg, an extremely weird movie about a divorce that leads to the psychic birth of demonic children who roam around killing adults. Great cast, with Samantha Eggar as a kind of queen bee of the demon-spawn, and Oliver Reed as the leader of a 70s self-help cult that goes too far. Cronenberg wrote it following his own divorce, and it came out the same year as Kramer Vs Kramer, hilariously. Roger Ebert called it “reprehensible trash.”

Rewatching Oscar with Jack FerdmanIn this episode, Jack talks about divorce. No, not his! He focuses on Kramer vs. Kramer, the first film to tackle divorce from the man's perspective. Great performances by Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, and deliciously cute Justin Henry, and with amazing direction and a great script, Jack goes even deeper discussing how important this movie was at the time. 1979 had many amazing films come out that year ... however, was the multi-Oscar winning Kramer vs. Kramer truly the best of the bunch?

We've got a special guest this week to fill in for Abram as it's his week off! Timo's friend Ryan joins the remaining Back Log Boys to discuss Kramer Vs. Kramer. It's definitely not your typical Best Picture winner but it has provided some interesting talking points nonetheless. And while Ryan's vote only sort of doesn't count (just for consistency with the voting block) he's for sure got some very well thought out observations about this film. As always, stick around until the end to find out where we place Kramer vs. Kramer and what film we'll be reviewing next time. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

When Joanna returns to claim custody of Billy, the ensuing court battle takes a toll on everyone concerned. Directed by Robert Benton, the film stars Dustin Hoffman as Ted Kramer, Meryl Streep as Joanna Kramer, Jane Alexander as Margaret Phelps and Justin Henry as Billy Kramer.Here on The Envelope, we discuss & review every Best Picture Winner in the Academy Awards History.

The Unenthusiastic Critic is contemplating divorce—not for the first time—as we sit down for her first viewing of Robert Benton's Christmas-tangential classic on its 40th anniversary.
Meryl Streep won the first of her three Oscars for her supporting role in Robert Benton's 1979 film “Kramer vs. Kramer.” Of course, as of this episode, it's the second nomination for her out of nineteen nominations — more nominations than any other actor. And when you watch “Kramer vs. Kramer,” it's hard not to wonder why she won for supporting actress rather than actress. Sure, her screen time is much less than Dustin Hoffman, her co-star, but her role has an equal importance in the film (and if we're using the Hannibal Lecter argument, she clearly should have been nominated for Best Actress). Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Meryl Streep series, looking at some early films for which she received Oscar nominations, and this week talking about Benton's film. We chat about how this film hit us when we last saw it in college compared to how it hit us this go-around. Hint: much stronger now. We talk about the brilliant and honest performance from all of the actors, notably Streep, Hoffman, Justin Henry, Jane Alexander, Howard Duff and just a hint of JoBeth Williams. We discuss why this story works so well and what interesting topics it hits on. We chat about Benton and his career, and we touch on Néstor Almendros' beautiful cinematography. And we talk about how the film did at a time when big blockbuster films were all the rage. It's a film we love that also broke both of us. Watch it — everyone should see it — then tune in to this week's show.
