However when it came time for a movie adaptation, <i>The Girl on the Train<\/i> chased that would-be spiritual predecessor\u2019s formula without achieving its critical success. But what the film itself will be most remember for is much more unfortunate: it\u2019s another key reminder that Emily Blunt still hasn\u2019t landed an Oscar nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Blunt headlines the twisty murder mystery that ultimately serves no one in its largely female ensemble. Though the actress was nominated at both SAG and BAFTA, her work didn\u2019t make a Best Actress lineup that (as the results show) didn\u2019t stop morphing until nomination morning. This episode, we look back at the film and novel\u2019s more troublesome aspects, what it might take for Blunt to nab that elusive nomination, and the canonically correct way to answer the central question of <i>Indecent Proposal<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Us on Twitter!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Had_Oscar_Buzz\">@Had_Oscar_Buzz<\/a><br \/>\nJoe: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joereid\">@joereid<\/a><br \/>\nChris: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrisvfeil\">@chrisvfeil<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_273\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-184-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_043_The_Girl_On_The_Train.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_043_The_Girl_On_The_Train.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_043_The_Girl_On_The_Train.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_043_The_Girl_On_The_Train.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/?powerpress_pinw=184-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_043_The_Girl_On_The_Train.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"THOB_EP_043_The_Girl_On_The_Train.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>The Girl on the Train will likely be remembered for following in the mold that Gone Girl had previously set for it, thanks to both books literary phenomenon status.
