“Unforgiven” (1992): Clint Eastwood’s Classic Anti-Western
The gritty, dark revisionist Western “Unforgiven” is not only widely regarded as one of Clint Eastwood’s greatest works– as both actor and director– but is also one of only 4 Westerns to ever win an Oscar for Best Picture. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at this classic film, including a brief tribute to legendary Gene Hackman, whose portrayal of ruthless sheriff Little Bill Daggett also earned him an Oscar. What movies inspired David Peoples as he was writing the script? Why did Gene Hackman initially turn down the role of Little Bill? How does “Unforgiven” have a feminist thread in it, according to Clint Eastwood? And what’s the story behind two alternate endings that were filmed, but then discarded? You’ll have a hard time forgiving yourself if you miss this fascinating episode!

“True Grit” (1969) and John Wayne’s Iconic Rooster Cogburn
John Wayne brought more than 150 characters to life on film, but it was his turn as the pot-bellied, heavy-drinking, eye-patch-wearing U.S. Marshall Rooster Cogburn in “True Grit” that earned him his only Oscar. And in this fun episode we revisit the classic 1969 Western “True Grit,” including a brief tribute to The Duke himself. How true did the movie hold to the book on which it was based? What personal struggles did Kim Darby, who played young Mattie, face during filming? Was there any truth to the widespread rumors of tension and fighting on set? And which scene from “True Grit” did John Wayne consider to be the best performance of his career? Saddle up and head back to the Old West with us, alongside the rough but lovable Rooster Cogburn… the only role John Wayne ever reprised!

“Chernobyl” Part 2: Fact Vs. Fiction
In 2018, 15 puppies were permitted to leave Chernobyl’s Nuclear Exclusion Zone. They were the first animals or objects allowed to exit that area since the disaster occurred in 1986. In this final episode of our 2-part series on the “Chernobyl” miniseries, Candy and Ashley discuss the aftereffects of the nuclear accident and the accuracy of the HBO series. Why does the death toll range from 31 people to thousands, depending on the report? What is radiophobia, and why were so many diagnosed with it after the disaster? How much of the “Chernobyl” series was true, according to survivors? And what happened to the real scientists and leaders depicted in the series, after the trial?

“Chernobyl” Part 1: The Event That Changed History
To this day, the Chernobyl disaster remains the worst nuclear accident in history… and the 2019 HBO miniseries “Chernobyl” details what happened in disturbing, yet riveting, detail. In the first episode of this 2-part series on the award-winning “Chernobyl,” Candy and Ashley share a little background on the terrifying incident and discuss the creation of the miniseries. What is it like to visit Chernobyl today, according to a firsthand account? What strategies did creator and writer Craig Mazin use to tell the story of the disaster as authentically as possible? Which lead character was fictional, created solely for the TV series, and why? And which events from the actual Chernobyl disaster are addressed in the miniseries?

“Armageddon” (1998): You Won’t Want to Miss a Thing
“Armageddon” was not only the highest-grossing film of 1998, but it also earned 4 Oscar nominations. Yet that same flick was named the worst movie of the year by Roger Ebert and nominated for 7 Razzie Awards. How could a film beloved by so many also receive such harsh criticism? That’s just one of the many points we drill down on in this fun episode on the 1998 blockbuster “Armageddon.” What inspired the writers to add the romantic subplot between Grace and A.J.? Which pieces of space equipment were real, and what prompted NASA to let “Armageddon” use them? What’s the backstory behind Aerosmith’s #1 single “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”? And just what did Ben Affleck say on that famous DVD commentary that resurfaced–and went viral– in 2016? Thank you to Jim for his top-of-the-episode shout out!
