020 – Secretariat

After landing a Best Actress nomination in a great Best Actress year for Unfaithful, we once thought Diane Lane could come back to the Oscar race by going to a horse race. This week, we’re talking about Secretariat, a live-action Disney biopic that got buried in the wake of The Social Network. Get ready for a dive into the 2010 Oscar nominations, including a strong defense of its Best Picture lineup. And we obsess over the real reason to watch the movie, even though it does her dirty: the eternal Margo Martindale.

Join us as Joe explains horse racing awards hierarchy, Chris has an Oscar host hot take to end all Oscar host hot takes, and we unpack the cornucopia of the film’s rich white people problems. Come for the remembered Oscar buzz, stay for the elevator stories! Oh and we try and fail to not call this movie Seabiscuit.
