Here's the Christmas Even episode, clocking in at a tight 33+
minutes. Hope you and your two favorite ladies have a great
Christmas and New Year!
On this holiday episode of The Bad and the Beautiful,
we
look at new Oscar contenders from previous Academy Award
winners.
First, IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK, the follow-up to that Best
Picture surprise MOONLIGHT for writer/director Barry Jenkins. He
adapts the acclaimed novel by literary and activist icon of the
Civil Rights era, James Baldwin.
Then it’s on to VICE, the latest from Adam McKay. The Best Adapted
Screenplay winner for THE BIG SHORT, McKay brandishes his gonzo
satirical style to exploring the rise and shadowy reign of Vice
President Dick Cheney. Christian Bale stars as the polarizing
Veep.
And finally, there’s a bonus in your podcast stocking: a quick take
from our pre-show prep on Clint Eastwood’s THE MULE. But like any
Marvel movie, you have to wait until the very end of the credits to
hear it.
Merry Christmas.
