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?  Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as we break down the American canon, Patty Duke's thoughts on The Miracle Worker, and whether Joan Crawford had successfully contacted Hepburn to accept the Oscar on her behalf.  Subscribe here: http://apple.co/2xNuu0Q Thank you to Lyanne Natividad for our podcast artwork and Braxton Burks for our theme music!

Not Her Again

Katharine Hepburn: Long Day's Journey Into Night

Emergency podcast alert: Framing Britney Spears dropped last week, and as a lifelong Britney fan, I had to talk to someone about it. So I called up my sister Laura, a true Britney disciple, to do a deep dive. We talk about the documentary, Britney's enduring appeal, what the #FreeBritney movement gets right, and also what we think it gets wrong. If you want a supplement to Framing Britney Spears, then you're in the right place.  We'll be back soon with a normal episode on Katharine Hepburn (already recorded!), but for now, enjoy this brief diversion.  Fun fact: both of us saved all of our thoughts for the podcast, and right before recording we both said we had learned exactly two things from the doc. Those ended up being the same two things. Listen to find out what we, as Britney scholars, learned.

For The Record: Bonus Episode

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. It's a pretty wild ride.  Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and special guest Matt Erspamer (@erspamer_matt) as they discuss Katharine Hepburn as an ultra-rich Southern widow, how this film got past the censors, and some of the women who didn't make it into the Best Actress race that year.  Subscribe here: http://apple.co/2xNuu0Q Thank you to Lyanne Natividad for our podcast artwork and Braxton Burks for our theme music! 

Katharine Hepburn: Suddenly, Last Summer

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-be royal is deeply... not good?  Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walt (@walthickey) as we discuss reading The Rainmaker as a trans text, whether boxers play "matches" or "games," and why Deborah Kerr never won an Oscar.  Subscribe here: http://apple.co/2xNuu0Q Thank you to Lyanne Natividad for our podcast artwork and Braxton Burks for our theme music!

Katharine Hepburn: The Rainmaker

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 special guest Caden Mark Gardner (on Instagram as @corpsesfoolsandmonsters) as they discuss Hepburn's performance, her loss to Anna Magnani at the Oscars, and Burt Lancaster's body of work.

Katharine Hepburn: Summertime

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. Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as they discuss how Humphrey Bogart avoided falling ill on location, the trouble with adapting a play for the big screen, and Marlon Brando's Brandoness.

Katharine Hepburn: The African Queen

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 to her on-screen son, and why a famous speech from Mrs. Miniver was printed out on leaflets and dropped over German-occupied territories during the war.

Katharine Hepburn: Woman of the Year

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 answers, but we have plenty of theories. Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as we dive into all of the Philadelphianess of 1940.

Katharine Hepburn: The Philadelphia Story

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 I've ever come across. We're diving into all things Dangerous and Alice Adams, so kick back and enjoy an incredibly sweaty dinner with Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey), won't you?  Subscribe here: http://apple.co/2xNuu0Q Thank you to Lyanne Natividad for our podcast artwork and Braxton Burks for our theme music!

Katharine Hepburn: Alice Adams

New theme music, same us. This season we're covering the career of Katharine Hepburn, considered one of the twentieth century's acting legends. We'll be looking back on Hepburn's twelve Oscar nominations, and today we're starting with her first nomination, for 1933's Morning Glory. Hepburn won the Oscar but, in typical Hepburn fashion, was not around to accept. That would happen three more times. Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as they talk about Kate, why Kate and co-star Adolphe Menjou couldn't stand each other, and why Cavalcade is the most entertaining movie you've never seen.

The Oscar Race

Not Her Again is the movie podcast where we look at those Oscar years where Meryl Streep was nominated for an Oscar… but went home emptyhanded. All 17 of them (and counting? Probably? Who knows?). Looking at Meryl’s record number of losses will take us from Hollywood in the late ’70s to today, and we’ll see how things have changed, how things haven’t, who should have won, what films were overlooked or overpraised, and why this woman’s attendance is damn near perfect when she loses 85 percent of the time.
