After Oscar ignored the hyperviolent <em>Kill Bill<\/em> films and its iconic star, Uma Thurman seemed poised for future Oscar success. When she was cast opposite Streep for 2005\u2032s <em>Prime <\/em>(in addition to a few other high profile roles that year), it looked like this could be more to Oscar\u2019s tastes. Starring Thurman as a woman who falls for a younger man who happens to be the son of her beloved therapist, <em>Prime <\/em>ultimately was a misfire romantic comedy that quickly got forgotten.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2m1qj\">\n<p>This episode, we look at how the film is unsatisfying because it focuses too much on Bryan Greenberg as the male love interest and how it almost starred Meryl\u2019s Oscar rival in a later season: Sandra Bullock. And we welcome Meryl to the THOB Six-Timers club and look back at the previous Streep films we have discussed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2m1qj\">\n<p>Topics also include performer spouses of <em>Real World<\/em> castmembers, the accumulation of unhinged storylines on <em>Boston Public<\/em>, and\u00a0\u201cit\u2019s fashion!\u201d<\/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>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_7467\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-417-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_107_Prime.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_107_Prime.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_107_Prime.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_107_Prime.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/?powerpress_pinw=417-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_107_Prime.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"THOB_EP_107_Prime.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>We\u2019re back to discussing Meryl Streep (for the SIXTH time!) this episode for a film starring the legend opposite an actress who was overlooked for a defining work.
