Back at it again with that hot hot HOT Dern scoop!
This week we take our long awaited delve into The Oscars, as well as delve into a few listener critiques and inquiries. You may also notice our brand spankin' new intro and outro music courtesy of the LA Gay Men's Chorus (as contented to our use by way of a Twitter like).
In the thick of our adventures this week, Nic gives the big bummer recounting of the 1996 film 'Bastard Out of Carolina', the tale of a young girl growing up in an abusive household in the 1950's south and how it affects her life. ([TRIGGER WARNING]) This picture does deal in graphic portrayals of domestic abuse and rape. Between the Derns 'Casablanca' (1942) as well as 'Frances Ha' (2012) are mulled over, as well as a recounting of the rained out 2020 Daytona 500 (and the drinking that ensued). Max closed us out on the 3-hour little Dern 'The Siege at Ruby Ridge', the 1996 two part television film recounting the government kerfuffle and white nationalist Weaver family that led to the infamous 11 day siege. Oh, and Randy Quaid shows up.
The films this week were on the heavier side, but both contain important lessons and stories that need to be shown just as much as the more comfortable and fun rolls we may like Mrs.Dern in more.
That will be all for this week, please follow us, give us your feedback, share us around, and stay tuned for more Dern!
