Netflix and the Academy have had a rapidly evolving relationship in the past several years. This week, we look at the short trajectory from demonstrative shutout for\u00a0Beasts of No Nation<\/i>\u00a0to a potential domination this season with a discussion of their 2017 awards also-ran\u00a0The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)<\/i>. The less heralded and less seen of Noah Baumbach\u2019s two films for the streaming giant stars Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, and Elizabeth Marvel as extended siblings coping with their difficult father\u2019s (Dustin Hoffman) waning health – and we kind of adore it.<\/p>\n
Launched at the Cannes Film Festival (along with\u00a0Okja<\/i>) to boos at the sight of the Netflix logo, the film got lost in the shuffle for both critics and streamer-averse awards voters. Though Netflix would break through major categories that year with\u00a0Mudbound<\/i>, the streamer stigma would continue to play out in future seasons. This week, we\u2019re talking about the whole Netflix thing, Noah Baumbach\u2019s long break with Oscar post-The Squid and the Whale<\/i>, and\u00a0\u201cMyron\/Byron\u201d.<\/p>\n
Topics also include Marvel\u2019s underrated performance, the 2017 Best Original Song nominees, and Sigourney Weaver introducing herself as herself.<\/p>\n
