Content

The person that uploaded the entire Oscars where Cher wins truly said "Happy Pride!" So for this month's excursion, we're recapping the ceremony where The Last Emperor went 9 for 9! Topics include the deranged opening number, the stacked Best Actress lineup, Oscar nominee blind spots we caught up to for the episode, Chevy Chase's dire hosting performance, Liza and Dudley Moore presenting the Original Song performances, and more!!

Christine Lahti in Housekeeping gives an all timer performance (for me anyway) in Housekeeping ! please consider it for a future ep 😭 it’s also a great movie outside of the performance

Almost all of my actress Oscar alternate universes involve Cher beating Linda Hunt and either Hunter or Close taking it for 1987.

The amount of times Chris said “TRUE, so TRUE…” I was sure he was doing a bit and would mention One True Thing at the last minute. Also my Meryl back pockets were Dark Matter, which absolutely no one remembers, and Plenty, which is the source of that hilarious Tracey Ullman AFI anecdote about the plane going down.

Young lads, sit beside me as I tell ye of the olden days in the 1980s when my gay friend and I (straight woman) would race home from work to host Oscar parties on Monday nights. Even then, these evenings in front of the cabled box were called the Gay Super Bowl. Husbands and hetero boyfriends would wander in and out making bemused comments while the girls and gay guys shushed them and strived to make the snarkiest comments at a well timed moment and clutched the ballots we had xeroxed not very surreptitiously at the office. And the networks knew their demographics! There were no FritoLay ads, my young dears! Only the most glamorous ads for the Oscars! Revlon, L’Oreal, long lashes, Charlie! perfume, perhaps a soda ad featuring a ravishing movie or music star with retro choreography. But no mother-effing chips, thank you! All right, you may continue, go back to your little friends and dive in…

It's funny that Chris singles out Billy Crystal's "mic has dropped out" bit from the ceremony as a contrast to what Chevy Chase was doing because, of course, that's a Chevy Chase bit from Spies Like Us, which came out in 1985. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EdZEJfPPeM

We watched Au Revoir, Les Enfants several times in French class in high school and it’s depressing as hell!!! I had no idea it was directed by Louis Malle.

I don't know, I thought Sean Young and Rob Lowe showed decent chemistry together.

I love the reference to the sponsors, the whole “The Academy Awards are presented by..:” thing. I work in sports TV and we have those still. They’re called Billboards, because the logo graphic is presented in a way like it is a roadside billboard.

Elliott Sainsbury

The moment I learned Lillian Gish was both in consideration for the 1987 awards season and in The Birth of a Nation is one of those 'Barbara Walters 4 Scale' 'time is a flat circle' moments

Talking about Boorman I have to shout out Hell in the Pacific since Chris said he’d never heard of it — Toshiro Mifune and Lee Marvin as WWII soldiers both stranded on the same desert island, each so deadset on nationalistic wartime fervor that they just sabotage each other’s (and by proxy, their own) attempts at survival before begrudgingly coming together. Really engaging stuff!

Rob Watson

I can’t believe it took this many episodes to get to Chris’s Ann Sothern impression.

Brent Holcomb

I was yelling "First Do No Harm" at my phone during the Filmographies game. That's my go to Meryl movie for Cinematrix! That whole episode was really fun to listen to!!!

Ali Llama

Where can I listen or read Chris's full thoughts on why he thinks Obsession hates women? That wasn't my read of the film but I would love to know his perspective!!

Jenny Maurer

Prick up your ears is good also

Clint

watched anna a few months ago (was randomly uploaded in hq on youtube for a bit) and chris is being very kind imo. speaking of a movie that lowkey hates women…kirkland is pretty good but i honestly found it pretty mean-spirited demoralizing towards anna/her that it left a bad taste in my mouth. the movie also gestures towards all about eve, and kirkland and porizkova did sorta remind me of demi and margaret qualley in the substance… funnily enough they both contain scenes of the older actress scowlingly watching the younger version on a talk show.

Michelle Brosius

Not enough Cher talk :) I found her performance in Moonstruck transcendent. She just understood this woman's world, and it was fascinating to watch a gorgeous woman make herself "small" and stuck in a loveless relationship where she's truly having to settle (until she's awakened by the possibility of Nic Cage's character) simply by costume and physical behavior alone. Not unlike what she experienced in the early years with Sonny, I'd imagine, that sense of loneliness. I had to watch Au Revoir Les Enfants in nearly every French class I ever took, and I developed a huge crush on the lead kid.
