We\u2019ve talked before about the shaky Oscar history with Amazon Studios, and this episode we are talking about one of their unfortunate misses that happened in the year of their biggest success: 2016\u2032s Love and Friendship<\/i>. Adapted from the scabrous Jane Austen novella Lady Susan<\/i>, the film had a much-ballyhooed premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and reunited Whit Stillman with his Last Days of Disco<\/i> stars Kate Beckinsale and Chloe Sevigny. A perfect marriage between Austen and Stillman\u2019s high society wits, the film sees Beckinsale in peak comedic form as the flirtatious and scheming Lady Susan opposite a cast of those caught in her web, including the uproarious breakout supporting player Tom Bennett.<\/p>\n

This week, we discuss our love for the film and explore the Whit Stillman vibe of socially observant comedy. We also discuss Beckinsale\u2019s career as primarily an action star, the highly competitive Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor races that made little room for Beckinsale and Bennett, and Amazon\u2019s summer of 2016 misfires.<\/p>\n

Topics also include the most recent AARP Movies for Grownups ceremony, Critics\u2019 Choice ties, and which son maybe dies in\u00a0\u201cthey\u2019ll think we\u2019re lezzos\u201d cinema Adore<\/i>.<\/p>\n
