He wanted to make him hung like an ox.
Brett CollinsHOST
82:17
Oh, and also, I wonder if Olivia could get nominated for another Best Actress award because she was already nominated and won for The Favorite several years ago, which I believe she beat out Glenn Close that year.
Brett CollinsHOST
82:32
That was kind of shocking.
Brett CollinsHOST
82:34
It was a little bit sad for Glenn at the time.
Brett CollinsHOST
82:37
But if you've seen The Favorite, which Olivia Colman won for that year, the Oscar was well-deserved.
Brett CollinsHOST
82:43
She was incredible in that movie.
Brett CollinsHOST
82:46
There is just something about Olivia Colman that is so lovable in anything she does.
Sean FennesseyHOST
42:59
She's in a very rare class of actor where everyone adores her.
Sean FennesseyHOST
43:03
And I don't think she has as much to do in this movie as she has had in films like The Favorite, but...
Amanda DobbinsHOST
43:09
What she does and just the way the camera holds her face, you know, Lady Gaga.
Amanda DobbinsHOST
43:13
Yes.
Zeth LundyHOST
10:59
but no dice.
Zeth LundyHOST
11:01
Olivia Colman won for this year playing Queen Anne in The Favorite.
Zeth LundyHOST
11:05
But Toni Collette, she's like in Jenna Rollins' territory.
Zeth LundyHOST
11:09
She's in a woman under the influence territory.
Grae DrakeGUEST
1:59
She's been in like The Roses recently that's streaming on Hulu.
Grae DrakeGUEST
2:04
She's been in The Favorite, The Lobster, like all these kinds of weird, fancy, schmancy, strange movies.
Grae DrakeGUEST
2:12
She is a very odd person and totally delightful.
Grae DrakeGUEST
2:17
And she is playing in this movie a fisher woman.
Will SteeleGUEST
6:51
Oh, it's always kept its charm.
Will SteeleGUEST
6:53
cinema but I remember seeing my friend Charlie and it was right in that October phase when you know the Oscar race is just taking shape you know after the major awards sorry the major festivals and yeah and going in thinking oh this is what Glenn Close is going to win her Oscar for and I remember being distinctly underwhelmed by the whole thing and this was one or two months before I saw the favourite so I remember being kind of hyped up for it in the way that Oscar bait films tend to hype you up and then going away thinking, right, okay, so she's going to win for that.
Will SteeleGUEST
7:32
And I hadn't seen it since.
Will SteeleGUEST
7:35
And I watched it the other day and made notes for the podcast.
ElliotHOST
63:26
But no, I've never seen it, but I've heard, you know, many things about it.
ElliotHOST
63:29
And I just sort of thought that apart from doing The Favourite, which again is set a few hundred years later than that, we haven't really done anything kind of along that vein at all.
ElliotHOST
63:38
So, yeah.
ElliotHOST
63:39
So if you can grab yourself a copy of The Other Boleyn Girl and get that watched, then we shall see you for this one next week.
Rob LucuriaHOST
22:04
It hurts me too, and nothing against Olivia Colman.
Rob LucuriaHOST
22:07
She gave us one of the greatest speeches of all time, and her performance in The Favourite is undeniable.
Rob LucuriaHOST
22:13
Okay, totally.
Rob LucuriaHOST
22:14
So putting that aside, I really wanted Glenn Close to win so badly because of everything that you just said.
Geoff GershonHOST
11:55
Now, don't get me wrong.
Geoff GershonHOST
11:56
Among those directors I just listed, there are several masterpieces from them collectively, including Breaking the Waves, Irreversible, Climax, and The Favourite.
Geoff GershonHOST
12:03
But more often than not, I'm always feeling as if modern filmmakers like these guys are just trying so hard to shock and disturb.
Geoff GershonHOST
12:11
It not only feels as if they have contempt for their characters, but for the audience who decides to watch them.
Hannah StrongGUEST
21:28
You know, Bridgerton owes so much to Marie Antoinette.
Hannah StrongGUEST
21:32
I think even someone like Yorgos Lanthimos, I think, you know, Poor Things and The Favourite definitely owe... something to my internet and I think for my generation for women kind of maybe slightly older and slightly younger as well it does kind of you get that sensation of reaching through the screen and you know who this young woman is we're not all the queen of friends but you kind of see that like lostness i think and it it really isn't a film about french history so much as it's a film about a teenage girl and that's why i really like resonate why it resonates with me and i think why i've kind of gone on a journey with it as i get older as a teenager i thought it was it was preposterous i was i was a very very self-serious teenager so
Leila LatifHOST
22:27
I think most people that are fans of Little White Lies when they think of Marie Antoinette and Little White Lies they will think of course of Hannah Strong's Forever Young Sophia Coppola book but perhaps forget that back in the day there was an issue of Little White Lies on Marie Antoinette that you know is gorgeous cover for people that are watching or if you can google but um perhaps hasn't aged perfectly I
Hannah StrongGUEST
22:48
wouldn't say it's aged like a fine wine um yeah I mean I We sometimes do talk about Little White Liars because the magazine's been around a long time now and it is funny to go back and look at when the magazine was finding its identity throughout the early years.

Yes, her face, on his shirt, at the premiere of their own movie.
MaddieHOST
0:49
Now, if you somehow do not know Olivia Colman, she is Britain's national treasure, an Academy Award winner for The Favourite, an Emmy winner, the kind of performer who can break your heart and make you laugh in the same scene, and Alexander chose to wear her portrait like a fan at a concert.
MaddieHOST
1:05
Method dressing is one thing, Hollywood.
MaddieHOST
1:08
This is devotion dressing.
