We talk about awards hopes thwarted by release date pushes, and this week is the mother of all of them. Originally intended as Garth Davis\u2019 speedy follow-up to Lion for Thanksgiving 2017, Mary Magdalene<\/i> cast Rooney Mara as the biblical woman and Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus. The film reexamines Mary Magdalene role among the disciples and how history has viewed her, and attempts a feminist perspective to biblical narratives. But shortly after it wasn\u2019t announced for any fall festival lineups, the film was pushed to Easter 2018. When the Weinstein expose arrived, the film was then caught in US distribution limbo, arriving on schedule overseas but not seeing (few) American theatres until 2019.<\/p>\n

This episode, we talk about Davis\u2019 success with Lion<\/i> in the 2016 season and our hopes for his upcoming Satires Ronan starrer Foe. We also discuss Joe\u2019s Catholic upbringing and knowledge, how Jesus would\u2019ve handled social media, and the chances Mara would have had in the Best Actress race had the film arrived in its original season.<\/p>\n

Topics also include Phoenix\u2019s whole vibe, MANY music references, and Hot Judas.<\/p>\n
