As\u00a0The Fabelmans<\/i>\u00a0is welcomed into theatres and Spielberg nostalgia is about to come back into conversation, we naturally are here to talk about one of his least discussed films: 1989\u2032s\u00a0Always<\/i>.\u00a0Based on the 1943 Victor Fleming film\u00a0A Guy Named Joe<\/i>,\u00a0Always<\/i>\u00a0follows an aerial firefighter played by Richard Dreyfuss who dies saving his friend (John Goodman) in a mission, only to watch from the afterlife as his lover (Holly Hunter) grieves and finds new romance. Spielberg was a big fan of the original, turning this into a bit of a passion project that nevertheless received middling box office and reviews before becoming one of his most forgotten films.<\/p>\n

This episode, we talk about Spielberg\u2019s twofer years and the Oscar success of the related films.\u00a0We also discuss Hunter\u2019s slew of projects immediately after her first nomination for\u00a0Broadcast News\u00a0<\/i>(and our wish to see her in another Spielberg film), Spielberg losing Best Director nominations to other director legends, and the era of cigarette ads and The Marlboro Man.<\/p>\n

Topics also include Goodman\u2019s status as a nominationless actor, bickering over the current Bake Off season, and Audrey Hepburn as an afterlife greeter named Hap.<\/p>\n
