We all know that Oscar fawns over costume dramas of literary adaptations… or so we tell ourselves when forming predictions and one with a whiff of prestige arrives. In 2008, director Julian Jerrold delivered a new adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s\u00a0Brideshead Revisited<\/em>\u00a0with an up-and-coming young cast paired with Dame Emma Thompson as the devoutly religious Lady Marchmain. With Matthew Goode as the social climber Charles Ryder and Ben Whishaw and Hayley Atwell as the siblings he romances, the queer-inflected drama earned modest reviews and box office, with Thompson an outsider Supporting Actress contender through the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode, Thompson joins our six timers club and we discuss our love for the then-emerging Whishaw. We also look back at Goode’s career including the misbegotten Watchmen<\/em> film, Atwell’s career outside of Marvel, and the surprising amount of time that has passed since Thompson’s last nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics also include\u00a0Brideshead<\/em>\u00a0riff\u00a0Saltburn<\/em>, pneumonia terminology, and 2008 queer cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
