Can you believe it\u2019s taken us this long to discuss that genre Oscar so adores, the musical biopic? This week, Erica Mann joins us for one of the most reviled paint-by-numbers biopics and a little bit of yeehaw with 2016\u2032s I Saw The Light<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The film stars Tom Hiddleston as Hank Williams and Elizabeth Olsen as his long-suffering first wife Audrey, detailing his rise in country music before his untimely death at the age of 29. The film was originally planned for 2015 and ran the board for early predictions, but a disastrous response at TIFF led to the film being pushed into 2016 and quickly forgotten soon after release.<\/p>\n

This episode, we have another pop quiz lined up – this time centered around other Oscar buzzed musical biopics. We also discuss Olsen\u2019s start in Martha Marcy May Marlene<\/i>, Hiddleston\u2019s prestige ascent and plateau, and of course, we discuss the Avengers.<\/p>\n
