This week\u2019s episode is the sound of something trying to not make a sound. It\u2019s our first failed Oscar buzz movie that we genuinely love and it\u2019s 2004\u2019s The Door in the Floor<\/em>. Adapted from the first segment of John Irving\u2019s A Widow for One Year<\/em>, this film stars Jeff Bridges as a grieving novelist, Kim Basinger as his estranged wife, and Jon Foster as the young student spending the summer between them.<\/p>\n

The Door in the Floor<\/em> also introduced us to Elle Fanning and gave us what might be the best adaptation of Irving\u2019s work. The film feels like a crucial stop on the path to Bridges\u2019 eventual Oscar for Crazy Heart<\/em>, and is best remembered for his performance. Or maybe, it\u2019s just his muumuu caftan. Listen along as we obsess over the lore of Focus Features, gush over its underappreciated and oft-repurposed score, and gasp over the film\u2019s cameo from a beloved Tony winner.<\/p>\n
