This week, we have a deceptively titled film that was also sold deceptively to audiences in 2000. Billy Bob Thornton\u2019s Cormac McCarthy adaptation All The Pretty Horses<\/i> was supposed to be an old-fashioned romantic epic filled with sweeping landscapes and big emotions – but what audiences got on Christmas morning was a bleak western about cowboys who just wanna cowboy. Famously, the film was cut down from a 3.5 hour epic into two hours by Harvey Weinstein and it still makes for a very scattered and lethargic movie.<\/p>\n
For this episode, we take a look back at both Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz\u2019s star personas, his as a go-to leading man with a string of pre-Bourne bombs and hers as an unfairly treated tabloid figure. We also look at the back stage stories that were depicted in Peter Biskind\u2019s Down and Dirty Pictures<\/i>, Lasse Hallstr\u00f6m as unexpected benefitor of Horses<\/i>\u2019 failure, and the Oscar year that was capped brilliantly by Bj\u00f6rk\u2019s swan dress.<\/p>\n
And for listeners clamoring for our thoughts on the beginning of the TIFF lineup, we spend the beginning of the episode discussing what we\u2019re most excited for, including Harriet<\/i>, Marriage Story<\/i>, and Meryl in a Blossom<\/i> hat.<\/p>\n
