Cuddle up to your jellyfish, because this week\u2019s we\u2019re talking about Seven Pounds<\/em>. Just two years after being nominated for The Pursuit of Happyness<\/em>, we thought that Will Smith\u2019s reteaming with director Gabriele Muccino could maybe bring the Oscar that has eluded him since first being nominated for Ali. But that was before we realized what this movie actually was, let alone how painfully bad it is.<\/p>\n

Scattered among the sacrificial flesh of the film\u2019s thwarted Oscar dreams, we discuss Will Smith\u2019s Oscar trajectory, Rosario Dawson\u2019s underrated career, and the many ways this bonkers movie grinds our gears. We also take a look at 2008\u2019s whirlwind tour to Kate Winslet\u2019s Best Actress win and the full insanity and ramifications of how the film withholds its twist. And of course, we don\u2019t forget to notice the collateral beauty around us.<\/p>\n
