How do you get a studio action movie some Oscar buzz? You cast Meryl Streep in the lead role. Starring the beloved actress as a woman whose family is taken captive on a white water rafting vacation, The River Wild<\/em> was a modest fall hit for director Curtis Hansen and earned Globe nominations for Streep and the film\u2019s villain Kevin Bacon. But in a scattered Best Actress race that ultimately resulted in a steamroll for Jessica Lange for the long-shelved Blue Sky<\/em>, Streep would have to continue what would become her longest period without a nomination\u2014a whopping four years<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Streep was also nominated at the first ever SAG Awards, which further compliacated the race by awarding the twice Oscared Jodie Foster for Nell<\/em>. This epsiode, we dive into the film\u2019s thrilling delights and the career of Curtis Hansen. We also discuss Bacon\u2019s closest brushes with the awards race, David Strathairn being hot, and the most iconic movie Gails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Topics also include which Meryl characters are tops, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and Lollapalooza hats.<\/p>\n Follow Us on Twitter!\n\n
