Screen Drafts co-host (and proud Minnesotan) Clay Keller joins us to discuss the final film from beloved auteur Robert Altman, 2006\u2032s <i>A Prairie Home Companion<\/i>. Based on and set within the eponymous radio show, the film follows the backstage goings-on during the show\u2019s fictionalized final live recording, with a sprawling cast of Altman regulars and newbies including Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Kline, Maya Rudolph, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, Lindsay Lohan, and Virginia Madsen as an angel of death. Altman would pass the November after its release, but sadly did not receive posthumous recognition for the film due to its somewhat divided reception.<\/p>\n<p>This episode, we\u2019re discussing the dual summer roles for Streep between this and <i>The Devil Wears Prada<\/i>, and we\u2019re celebrating our tenth Streep episode! We also discuss Lohan\u2019s turmoil at the time, Paul Thomas Anderson as a contractually obligated backup director,\u00a0and Clay brings us stories from his experience as an extra on the set of the film.<\/p>\n<p>Topics also include\u00a0the Streep\/Tomlin tribute to Altman at the previous ceremony, bad jokes, and a Screen Drafts-style ranking of the film\u2019s best performances.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Us on Twitter!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Had_Oscar_Buzz\">@Had_Oscar_Buzz<\/a><br \/>\nJoe: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joereid\">@joereid<\/a><br \/>\nChris: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrisvfeil\">@chrisvfeil<\/a><br \/>\nClay: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/claykeller\">@claykeller<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_626\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-800-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_204_A_Prairie_Home_Companion_-_with_Clay_Keller.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_204_A_Prairie_Home_Companion_-_with_Clay_Keller.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_204_A_Prairie_Home_Companion_-_with_Clay_Keller.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_204_A_Prairie_Home_Companion_-_with_Clay_Keller.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/?powerpress_pinw=800-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_204_A_Prairie_Home_Companion_-_with_Clay_Keller.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"THOB_EP_204_A_Prairie_Home_Companion_-_with_Clay_Keller.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An episode long teased has finally arrived.
