In 1997 we celebrated a giant sinking ship with James Cameron\u2019s Titanic<\/i>, but we are here this week to talk a different cinematic capsizing that year: Clint Eastwood\u2019s Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Adapted from the wildly successful work of nonfiction by John Berendt, this film opened to massive expectations its unimpressive production could never match. Riding the wave of Kevin Spacey\u2019s first win as he stars as closeted antique meister Jim Williams, Midnight<\/i> is likely more fascinating in the contemporary context of Spacey\u2019s actions than it was at the time.<\/p>\n

Listen along as we discuss the film\u2019s half-hearted attempts at oddness, John Cusack\u2019s Oscar nomination that has yet to happen, and our deep affection for the film\u2019s greatest performer, national treasure The Lady Chablis. (Oh and we finally discuss those much-maligned Oscar changes!)<\/p>\n
