This week, we are returning to the work of the recent Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain. In 2017, the actress headlined the adaptation of the popular non-fiction book The Zookeeper\u2019s Wife<\/i>, detailing Antonina Zabinska and her husband Jan\u2019s efforts to help Polish Jews escape the Nazis by hiding them within the Warsaw Zoo. Directed by Niki Caro, who had previously guided two previous Best Actress nominees, the film held much early promise before being slated for an early year release after distributor Focus Features had its hands full with two Best Picture nominees the previous season. By the end of the year, Chastain herself would have a heavier hitting contender in Molly\u2019s Game<\/i>, leaving The Zookeeper\u2019s Wife<\/i> as a quickly forgotten prestige effort.<\/p>\n
This episode, we look back at Niki Caro\u2019s rise as the director of independent dramas to massive studio tentpoles and Chastain\u2019s omnipresent arrival in the early 2010s. We also get into how the previous season resulted in her as our newest Best Actress winner, Daniel Bruhl\u2019s typecasting in Nazi roles, and Focus Features\u2019 upcoming lineup.<\/p>\n
Topics also include Mike Tyson\u2019s Punch Out, Netflix\u2019s 2022 supertrailer, and our May Miniseries starting next week!!<\/p>\n
