On the eve of the return of The White Lotus<\/i>, we\u2019re taking a look at the Mike White oeuvre with returning guest Jorge Molina and 2017\u2032s Beatriz at Dinner<\/i>. Starring our beloved Salma Hayek as a holistic masseuse trapped at a toxic dinner party held by her wealthy clients, the film debuted at Sundance and was immediately viewed through the lens of our outrage and despair in the immediate aftermath of Trump\u2019s election. The dark cringe comedy had a divisive finale but a brilliant ensemble including Connie Britton, John Lithgow, and Chloe Sevigny, with Hayek giving one of her finest performances. But the 2017 Best Actress race was highly competitive, and this summer release struggled to make an awards season comeback.<\/p>\n
This episode, we talk about the Arteta\/White partnership including White\u2019s television output and Arteta as the quintessential journeyman director. Topics also include scrubbed John Early clips, our dreams for Hayek\u2019s deserved awards future, and comparing Beatriz at Dinner<\/i> to another 2017 film that succeeded with Oscar.<\/p>\n
Topics also include the 2002 Best Actress nominees pitching grants, Mike White\u2019s run on Survivor<\/i> and The Amazing Race<\/i>, and performing Salma in Snatch Game.<\/p>\n
