Debuting in 2011 but arriving in theaters, Richard Linklater&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>Bernie<\/em>&nbsp;accounts a real-life Texan wink wink bachelor Bernie Tiede (played by Jack Black), beloved by the church ladies and local community. However, he is taken in by the town villain Margie (Shirley MacLaine) and ends up convicted for her murder, but not necessarily in the court of public opinion. Though the film was recognized as comedy (especially for Black&#8217;s delicate performance), its awards history was largely left as a footnote to the McConaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This episode, we talk about the different vibes of Texas cities and the film&#8217;s spectacular ensemble of real-life witnesses. We also talk about Linklater&#8217;s outsider status to the Hollywood establishment, Black&#8217;s preceding failures, and reporter Skip Hollandsworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topics also include &#8220;one of them CMT girls,&#8221; Linklater&#8217;s upcoming&nbsp;<em>Merrily We Roll Along<\/em>, and 2012 Best Actor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow Us on Twitter!<br><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Had_Oscar_Buzz\">@Had_Oscar_Buzz<\/a><br>Joe: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joereid\">@joereid<\/a><br>Chris: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrisvfeil\">@chrisvfeil<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_9944\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1158-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_301_Bernie_-_with_Kevin_OKeeffe.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_301_Bernie_-_with_Kevin_OKeeffe.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_301_Bernie_-_with_Kevin_OKeeffe.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_301_Bernie_-_with_Kevin_OKeeffe.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/?powerpress_pinw=1158-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_301_Bernie_-_with_Kevin_OKeeffe.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"THOB_EP_301_Bernie_-_with_Kevin_OKeeffe.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>our old friend Kevin O&#8217;Keeffe and Texas native for a very Texas movie.
