As voted on by you the Patreon Garys, this month's excursion is a return to 2015 and one of our favorite subjects: The Hollywood Reporter's Actress Roundtable! We unpack the lineup of 8 (EIGHT!!) actresses and their projects, the group's invocation of Toni Collette, diverge into more Mike Nichols talk, discuss our thoughts on the eventual Best Actress lineup, and much more!

Spotting the gap in the rhyming market, Kate Winslet would go on to star in ‘I Am Ruth’…

Chas

Fantastic episode!

Ruan Felipe

I do comeback to listen the Conviction episode often. Is one of my favorites alongside Concussion (in a C theme). And you guys forgot Mulligan's nom for Maestro!

Jenny Maurer

Ideas: Do the 2010 round table Do a six hour talk about Mike Nichols

Ruan Felipe

You guys forgot to predict this year's roundtable! Could you guys do it here, informally?

A friend last night literally asked me what my alternative career might’ve been, and I said “I probably would’ve become a landscape architect” 😂😂😂

Brady Thomas

Regarding the hypothetical post-MCU panel: I kind of would like to hear from Iman Vellani and Xochitl Gomez (both being actresses who launched their careers in MCU projects and who've been sort of left out to dry by the powers that be at Disney)

The two standout moments to me - the two that don't have any pangs of "We're still so DOOOOOOOOOMED" - are: (a) Jane Fonda going, "It wasn't?!" at being told that it wasn't real peeing in HOLY SMOKE followed by Kate Winslet's, "You can't piss on cue, Jane" and (2) Jennifer Lawrence saying, "I don't like acting unnecessarily" - which is a funny line about rehearsal but also the most Jennifer Lawrence thing to say. That's not to unduly typify her, and I've always found Lawrence's whole *thing* to be actual authenticity rather than feigned authenticity. Pardon if these things are brought up in the episode that I've just started listening to.

I'm really mad I already drafted my Vulture Movie Fantasy League team, because Truth, Youth, Ruth is right there as a team name for the taking Garys!!!

during the 2014 directors roundtable, which was filmed a few days after nichols’ death i remember bennett miller being emotional and also bringing up how nichols was always wanting to make sure he had his finances in order and had a good shrink…

John Ananias

It must be noted that Rampling's "I heard you're playing Katharine Hepburn" moment is followed by Blanchett talking about how she's going to be playing Lucille Ball - and I'd forgotten it, but there was a point in time when the project that would become BEING THE RICARDOS was going to star Blanchett rather than Nicole Kidman. (BEING THE RICARDOS, a movie I more-or-less like.)

Charles

Oh no what did JJL say

Benjamin Farha

Kate Winslet staying true to her word and casting Toni Colette in her directorial debut is Roundtable magic

Liesl

This was the most exciting game of Filmographies ever!

JPB Gerald

One more thing: J Law was definitely living in Brooklyn during covid and I saw her walking with said baby a lot. I smiled at her but she seemed like one of the people who enjoyed the solitude we all were forced to have

JPB Gerald

Also, character actor Cranston was hilarious on Seinfeld and Malcolm in the Middle. Then great on Breaking Bad and then he broke lol. But he was funny on the Studio, so, go be funny again! (Also his daughter is my favorite character on The Pitt, Dr. Mel King. She's neurodivergent in real life and heartwarming representation for an nd person like me :) )

Matthew Park

Love it when Joe reveals his #6 power ranking and then channels Bianca Del Rio when he asks Chris “In what? QUICKLY!”

TheRealestXtina

LOL Joe with the Bianca Del Rio “quickly!”

Chrissy

Lenny Letter times!

Mary Alexandre

I love you guys and your show so much! I feel really weird correcting people that have more pop culture and film knowledge than I could ever hope to have, but Brie Larson absolutely worked with Toni Collette! She played her daughter for three seasons of The United States of Tara! That show was my introduction to Brie Larson.

Ana Marques

Do they predict this year's roundtable? I think i missed it

Stewart Lazarus

Predictions for this year’s roundtable? I’ll go with: Jessie Buckley Rose Byrne Elle Fanning Regina Hall Jennifer Lopez Emma Stone

Sean McP

Okay, it never actually occurred to me that there was an actors’ round table.

Brandy Agerbeck

I adore y'all, and I am a dyed-on-the-wool Midwesterner. Raised in MN, educated in IA, and in Chicago since the mid-90s. Happily molted any passive-aggressive-ness years ago. You are wrong about Cate Blanchett being mean. She 'gives people the business', in the same way British folks take the piss out of each other. Teasing as a form of rapport.

Stephanie Radcliffe

Fun fact: Jane Fonda's workout tapes were actually activism in disguise! They were owned by a PAC and she funnelled all the profits ($10M!) to leftist causes and Democratic election campaigns.
