46 - Bewitched
The fact that BEWITCHED has a 25% on the infamous Tomatometer is proof that even those female filmmakers who have managed to get some respect can easily be taken for granted. Did Nora Ephron make the industry mad when she used this adaptation of a popular TV show as a platform to expose the plight of women in showbiz? Or is society too jaded to buy into the love story between a witch and a mere mortal? Never ones to go with the flow, Alex and Julio fall under the spell of Ephron, Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell and have a delightful time in an episode that's pretty much the poster child for what this podcast stands for.
PLUGS:
- That music podcast Julio mentions before the actual plugs start is called THE SOUND AND THE STORY. Look it up!
- DRAFT ZERO has a Patreon! Support them because they're awesome!
- TITULAR LINES is the latest twitter account that's made us laugh. Check them out at @saythetitle - and share the love!
- STAR TREK: DISCOVERY gets better with every episode (Julio has seen one more since we recorded this podcast). Worth checking out.
And this is the part where we wiggle our noses and make you go email us at wearethecontrarians@gmail.com and then rate/review/subscribe to our show on iTunes (or Apple Podcast as they call it now). Do it because you love us, or do it because we've made you think you love us. It's all good either way!
