\"\"<\/p>\n

This week, we are taking you back to 1996 for Edward Zwick\u2019s Rashomon<\/i>-esque half-examination of the Gulf War and sexism in the military, Courage Under Fire<\/i>. While most of the praise on release was granted to star Denzel Washington and supporting player Lou Diamond Phillips, we take a look at the case for Meg Ryan and how an Oscar nomination eluded her career.<\/p>\n

Other discussion points include Zwick filmography as consistently mild Oscar success, Matt Damon \u201cgetting\u201d thin for his breakout role, and the constantly shifting landcape of Meg Ryan\u2019s southern dialect. And we change up the format and add a closing trivia showdown: The IMDb Game, AKA Known 4.<\/p>\n
