This week on The Collider Podcast, we're talking about this year's Oscar nominees (or the nominees from movies that were released in 2020 and the first couple months of 2021 if you want to get specific). Rather than discuss snubs and surprises, we focus more on why it's difficult to care about the Oscars in a year where their competitive framework was diminished by the pandemic and being forced to view these movies in a streaming environment. We talk about the importance of cultural conversation, why it's unfortunate that such a diverse group of nominees is being overlooked simply because the films were denied traditional distribution, and more.

This week on The Collider Podcast, we're digging through two films that explore the tragedy and viciousness of a late capitalist America. We start off with Nomadland, which examines the fallout of the Great Recession, how the film still manages to find hope and humanity despite its depressing and melancholy subject matter, why certain criticisms of the film don't hold up to scrutiny, and more. We then switch over to the nasty and brutal I Care a Lot, how the films breezy tone belies its evil characters, what the film says about the state of the country, and more.

This week on The Collider Podcast, we're honored to be joined by author and film historian Mark Harris to discuss his new book, Mike Nichols: A Life. Mike Nichols was a legendary director of stage and screen who had received widespread acclaim by his mid-30s, first for his comedy routines with Elaine May and then for directing the Tony-award winning Neil Simon plays Barefoot in the Park and The Odd Couple before moving on to Hollywood to direct Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and The Graduate. However, his life and career were tumultuous, and with a humanistic and thoughtful approach, Harris examines Nichols' gifts as a director as well as his personal insecurities, passions, and transformation.
Our conversation with Harris is roughly split into three sections. We begin by discussing the process of writing the book, how it differed from his first two books Pictures at a Revolution and Five Came Back, how what he knew from his personal relationship with Nichols changed during the course of his research, the challenges of revisiting The Graduate without repeating himself, and more.
The second section of the podcast gets into what made Nichols a unique director, why his work is under appreciated because we don't understand what it means to direct actors, how he brought a more forthright vision of sexuality to Hollywood with movies like The Graduate and Carnal Knowledge, how his approach to movies changed over the course of his career, and more.
Finally, we discuss in detail some of Nichols' films that flopped at the time but can now be seen as some of his better work including Heartburn and Catch-22.
Also, since Harris is an Oscars scholar, we didn't want to pass up the opportunity to close out this episode talking about this unique year and how it may affect voting on the Academy Awards.
