1998 was a brief moment in time of Studio 54 nostalgia, thanks in part to this week\u2019s film. Starring Mike Myers chasing prestige in a dramatic role as clubowner Steve Rubell,\u00a054<\/i>\u00a0took an inside look at the notorious, celeb-packed New York City nightclub from the eyes of a fictional bartender played by Ryan Phillippe. But no amount of modern day stars could transcend the film\u2019s poor reviews and box office, leaving Myers\u2019 awards hopes forgotten before the season ultimately started.<\/p>\n

One of the many films retooled by Harvey Scissorhands, the film suffered extensive reshoots and resulted in a final film that removed its queer content and failed to capture what made this disco such a cultural flashpoint. This episode, we discuss the differences between the theatrical version and the director\u2019s cut, along with the 1998 Best Supporting Actor race that resulted in a surprise win for James Coburn and the period\u2019s other cases for comic actors going dramatic.<\/p>\n

Topics also include rapping grandma Ellen Albertini Dow, the impact of Phillippe\u2019s onscreen butt flashings, and Behind the Music.<\/p>\n
