This episode, we\u2019re returning to the career of Robert Altman for one of the most bizarre films we\u2019ve ever discussed. With a stacked female cast surrounding Richard Gere as a beloved Texan gynecologist, 2000\u2032s\u00a0Dr. T and The Women<\/i>\u00a0baffled audiences straight to its well-earned F CinemaScore. Erased from our memories one year later by the Oscar success of\u00a0Gosford Park<\/i>, this film lacks Altman\u2019s distinct touch and interesting characters before it (literally) drives into a bizarre conclusion.<\/p>\n
With a cast that also includes Helen Hunt, Kate Hudson, Tara Reid, Laura Dern, and a nude Farrah Fawcett frollicking in a mall fountain,\u00a0Dr. T<\/i>\u00a0makes good on little of its promise. We look at Richard Gere\u2019s screen persona prior to his near-nomination for\u00a0Chicago<\/i>, Altman\u2019s stint in director jail post-Popeye<\/i>, and how this film factored into the year\u2019s narratives for Hunt and Hudson.<\/p>\n
Topics also include the brief life of Artisan Entertainment, rich lady mall culture, and assassination tours.<\/p>\n
