Jake Gyllenhaal is the latest to join our Six Timers Club this week with 2002\u2032s\u00a0Moonlight Mile<\/i>. Written and directed by Brad Silberling, Gyllenhaal leads the film as a young man living with the parents (played by Susan Sarandon and Dustin Hoffman) of his fiance\u2019s parents in the aftermath of her murder. A light dramedy with semi-autobiographical elements from Silberling, the film set expectations high with an emotional trailer but quickly died after a poor TIFF reception and even dimmer box office. With an Oscar year that leaned heavily on December releases, this film was an awards afterthought.<\/p>\n

This week, we look back at Gyllenhaal\u2019s THOB history and Sarandon\u2019s stellar triptych of very different (and all buzzed) screen moms in 2002. We also discuss the true story that inspired the film, distributor Touchstone\u2019s buzzy 2002 that also includes\u00a025th Hour<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Signs<\/i>, and the film\u2019s onslaught of needle drops.<\/p>\n

Topics also include the iconic 2002 Best Supporting Actress lineup, Brian Cox doing McDonald\u2019s commericals, and why Goldie Hawn should be in the hypothetical third\u00a0Mamma Mia!<\/i>\u00a0movie.<\/p>\n
