YA-YA!! This week, Christina Tucker joins us once again to discuss popular literary adaptation and TNT staple, 2002\u2032s Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood<\/i>. The directorial debut of Callie Khouri, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Thelma and Louise, the film stars Ellen Burstyn and Sandra Bullock as mother and daughter feuding over the playwright\u00a0daughter\u2019s very public interview about her very tempestuous childhood. The mother\u2019s friends (played by Maggie Smith, Fionnula Flanagan, and Shirley Knight) then kidnap the daughter and return her to her southern home to reveal her mother\u2019s side of the story. This made for a film of wildly conflicting tones, which critics roundly lambasted before the film became a summer disappointment.<\/p>\n
This episode, we discuss the early 2000s for Bullock in star mode before her Oscar win and Ellen Burstyn in an unhinged mother era after her return Oscar nomination for Requiem for a Dream<\/i>. We also discuss the remarkable performance by Ashley Judd as the young Burstyn, pride season, and the late career of James Garner.<\/p>\n
Topics also include devastating Lisa Schwartzbaum pull quotes, TV\u2019s Nashville<\/i>, and the Mad Money<\/i> poster.<\/p>\n
