Can you believe we have made it to our 50TH EPISODE?! And for the occasion, we\u2019ve allowed you the listeners to pick the film we are discussing – and you\u2019ve chosen Bobby<\/i>, Emilio Estevez\u2019s 2006 film about the day Robert Kennedy was assassinated at the Ambassdor Hotel during the 1968 Democratic presidential primary!<\/p>\n

The film stars a smorgasbord of famous faces and called-in-favors, including Sharon Stone, Martin Sheen, Anthony Hopkins, Elijah Wood, Laurence Fishburne, and many many more. But the cast is so sprawling that the film struggles to make any of its ensemble all that interesting and never really settles on what Bobby\u2019s assassination means for mid-00s Americans. Perhaps its Golden Globe Best Drama and SAG Ensemble nominations were always the ceiling for Bobby<\/i>\u2019s awards prospects.<\/p>\n

This episode we talk about stylistically chasing Robert Altman\u2019s Nashville<\/i> (and a certain reviled Best Picture winner), lounge singer and hairstylist meet-cutes, and, of course, the thwarted prestige legacy of Lindsay Lohan.<\/p>\n
