Podcast host Sara Rott is back with photographer Jessica Parga and arts and culture staff writer Morgan Ray for the promised Part Two of “Production Night”’s special Oscars episode!
We pick up where we left off on the topic of best film and best actor. Parga finally saw Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” remake so our three cool cats get into a couple differences between the two film versions of the famed musical (besides the remediation of the older version’s use of brownface). Which side character got the reinvention they deserved?
The hosts tip their hat to Kristin Stewart in “Spencer” and give well deserved shout outs to Will Smith and the cast of “King Richard” as well as Denzel Washington’s powerful lead performance in “The Tragedy of Macbeth” (which exposes Ray's high school theater past).
As noted in Part One, there’s a staggering ten nominations for Best Picture this year…but how many of them actually deserved a spot and which films got robbed? Ray knows one Netflix film that deserved a lot more love from the Academy…and which film it should’ve replaced.
May the best film win!
