In 1994, <i>The Last Seduction<\/i> gave a modern riff on classic noir with a sexually frank femme fatale played by Linda Fiorentino who pulls a game of deception on multiple men. The film initially aired on HBO, but an enthusiastic critical response built towards October Films giving the film a theatrical release. With Fiorentino\u2019s performance earning major critics prizes and even a BAFTA nomination, October Films sued the Academy when the film was deemed ineligible thanks to its television debut. Though nothing came from the suit, the film has continued to amass its fans in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>This episode, we talk about Fiorentino\u2019s celebrated performance and some of the more troublesome aspects of the film\u2019s politics. We also discuss You Must Remember This\u2019 brand new season Erotic 90s, <i>Dirty Dancing <\/i>winning Best Original Song, and the film\u2019s infamous chain link fence sex scene.<\/p>\n<p>Topics also include Fiorentino\u2019s reputation, Tom Cruise\u2019s 1999,\u00a0and buying Playboys in Serbia.<\/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 \/>\nKarina: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KarinaLongworth\">@KarinaLongworth<\/a><br \/>\nYMRT: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rememberthispod\">@rememberthispod<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_7602\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-921-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_237_The_Last_Seduction_-_with_Karina_Longworth.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_237_The_Last_Seduction_-_with_Karina_Longworth.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_237_The_Last_Seduction_-_with_Karina_Longworth.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_237_The_Last_Seduction_-_with_Karina_Longworth.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/?powerpress_pinw=921-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_237_The_Last_Seduction_-_with_Karina_Longworth.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"THOB_EP_237_The_Last_Seduction_-_with_Karina_Longworth.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>We are joined by none other than You Must Remember This\u2019 Karina Longworth this week to talk about one of our most unique and most requested Oscar cases.
