Today, we're diving into an Oscar race that is so fraught with history that an entire episode of Ryan Murphy's Feud was dedicated to it. It's the 1962 race featuring Katharine Hepburn in Long Day's Journey Into Night vs. Anne Bancroft in The Miracle Worker. Oh, and Bette Davis was nominated for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Emergency podcast alert: Framing Britney Spears dropped last week, and as a lifelong Britney fan, I had to talk to someone about it.

Katharine Hepburn. Elizabeth Taylor. Montgomery Clift. 1959's Suddenly, Last Summer is a star-studded adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play that touches on everything from homosexuality to insanity to cannibalism.

Katharine Hepburn: The Rainmaker 33:43

4y ago33:43

33:43

Sorry for the absence — we were going across towns in the American Midwest trying to sell folks a drum that will produce rain. If that sounds up your alley, boy do we have an episode for you. Katharine Hepburn was nominated for Best Actress for her role in 1956's The Rainmaker, but she ultimately lost to Ingrid Bergman, whose portrayal of a would-b…

Katharine Hepburn: Summertime 1:06:38

1:06:38

We're deep in the spinster phase of Katharine Hepburn's career at this point. Hot off the heels of her work in 1951's The African Queen, Hepburn was back in a major way in David Lean's Summertime, a quiet masterpiece about a woman who goes on a trip to Venice and finds love, or something like it, along the way. Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and specia…

Katharine Hepburn: The African Queen 47:41

Two women who skyrocketed to fame in the 1930s are back in the mix at the 24th Academy Awards. Katharine Hepburn starred alongside Humphrey Bogart in the action-adventure movie The African Queen, while Vivien Leigh was back with the film adaptation of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire.

47:56

It's Woman of the Year and Mrs. Miniver this week on Not Her Again! One of these movies came out in early 1942, and the other at the end of the year — you can probably guess which is which based on the plots of the movies. Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as we talk about the first Hepburn-Tracy pairing, Greer Garson's marriage t…

Katharine Hepburn: The Philadelphia Story 59:05

4y ago59:05

59:05

It was the battle of the faux Philadelphians with Katharine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story and Ginger Rogers in Kitty Foyle. Why were the 13th Academy Awards so dominated by America's third-most prominent second city? Why is Ginger Rogers talking like that? And why was Joan Fontaine's mother so passive aggressive? Well, we might not have all the…

Katharine Hepburn: Alice Adams 55:01

4y ago55:01

55:01

You can't win 'em all. Katharine Hepburn got a quick follow-up Oscar nomination after her first win, but this time she lost to Bette Davis in 1935's Dangerous, a film with a name so vague it's impossible to discern what it's about. As an added incentive to listen: across three seasons of this podcast, this episode contains my favorite Oscar trivia …

New theme music, same us. This season we're covering the career of Katharine Hepburn, considered one of the twentieth century's acting legends.

Julia Roberts: Valentine's Day & Mother's Day 1:33:31

5+ y ago1:33:31

1:33:31

In 2010, studios weren't sure if audiences would flock to see rom-coms the way they had in the '80s and '90s. In order to lure people in, more and more big-name stars were cast in a single film. In Valentine's Day, Julia Roberts plays opposite Bradley Cooper in an ensemble that has everyone from Shirley MacLaine to Taylor Swift. In the less-crowded…

1:33:22

Julia returned to leading roles with two back-to-back movies. First, she reteamed with Clive Owen for 2009's espionage rom-com Duplicity. She followed that up with 2010's Eat Pray Love, based on the stupidly successful memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert. After years of smaller parts and roles in ensemble movies, Julia was back as the leading lady — but ho…

1:08:33

After a few years off the big screen, Julia teamed up with Tom Hanks for Charlie Wilson's War. Though a small part, Julia plays a key historical figure who swears she "did not make al-Qaeda." Charlie Wilson's War also ended up being director Mike Nichols' last film. A few years later, Roberts teamed up with Hanks again in Larry Crowne, the world's …

1:24:16

After her Oscar win, Julia slowed down a bit. In addition to the first Ocean's movie, she took a small, scene-stealing part in pal George Clooney's Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. But she was clamoring for another go at Oscar glory, so she went the route all respected actors must go at one point or another: an unorthodox teacher whose most importa…

Julia Roberts: Stepmom & Erin Brockovich 1:35:22

6y ago1:35:22

1:35:22

In the late '90s, Julia needed to mix it up. Her romantic comedies were box office juggernauts, but she needed something more. After all, she didn't get into acting to pretend to love Dermot Mulroney. She needed an Oscar. Stepmom was not the film that would help Julia achieve her goal, but it got her on the path to Oscar glory. It also acclimated a…
