roman j. israel // gemini man (with jourdain searles)

for the next three weeks, we're showing love to some of this years oscar nominees and looking back at some of their biggest critical and financial misfires. this week, two of this years best actor nominees (and two of the biggest stars on the planet) go head to head in a pair of movies that would have crushed in the 90s. first up, it's 2 time academy award winner and 3 time podcast MVP denzel washington in his oscar nominated performance as the titual "roman j. israel, esq." after that, we're looking back at 2 time oscar winner ang lee's latest foray into 120fps with "gemini man" starring not one but two will smiths.

critic/writer/comedian jourdain searles joins us to pay tribute to two of our best leading men and talk about the rest of the crop of 2022 oscar nominees, as well as colin farrell's character actor golden age, denzel's first unfuckable character, clive owen's fall from oscar nominee to straight to streaming action star, a haunting image of jim carrey as a cgi fish, and the evil that is "being the ricardos."
