For a short time in the 90s, Elmore Leonard was an Oscar thing and post-Pulp Fiction<\/i> John Travolta being due was also an Oscar thing. Both of those may sound confounding in today’s era of Gotti<\/i> and an unwatched series on Epix, but this week’s film brings both of those statements together to prove them true: Barry Sonnenfeld’s 1995 comedy Get Shorty<\/i>.<\/p>\n

And guess what? We kinda really like this one.<\/p>\n

Topics include the short-lived splitting of the Original Score category into Drama and Musical\/Comedy, the early days of IMDb, and our love for the undersung Rene Russo. This episode also finds Joe revealing his secrets on remembering film years and Chris delivering his \u201cBlythe Danner in To Wong Foo<\/i>\u201d impression.<\/p>\n
