We\u2019ll get you a red cap and a speedo for this week\u2019s episode, becuase we\u2019re talking about Wes Anderson for the first time with\u00a0The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou<\/i>. The follow-up to Anderson\u2019s first Oscar-nominated film\u00a0The Royal Tenenbaums<\/i>\u00a0put Bill Murray front and center in the year after Murray almost won Best Actor for\u00a0Lost in Translation<\/i>. But critics were far less kind to this film than Anderson\u2019s previous efforts (it remains his only rotten movie on RT), and voters looking to reward Murray for his previous loss were met with a more caustic and off-putting character than hid lauded\u00a0\u201csad Murray\u201d era.<\/p>\n
This episode, we look back at how Murray was shockingly snubbed for Anderson\u2019s\u00a0Rushmore\u00a0<\/i>and the ebbs and flows of Anderson\u2019s career in relation to audience\/critic perceptions. And since no performance in a Wes Anderson film has ever landed an Oscar nomination, we pick our top 5 performances in his films we think are most deserving.<\/p>\n
Topics also include Seu Jorge\u2019s David Bowie covers in Portuguese, whether or not\u00a0Ray\u00a0<\/i>is appropriately categorized as a musical, and which performance in\u00a0The French Dispatch<\/i>\u00a0has the best chance at a nomination.<\/p>\n
