    The Pfeiffer Pfinale

    Happy Pfriday, Pfeiffer Pfans! THE AGE OF INNOCENCE is over and it's time for us to make our FRENCH EXIT until that ONE FINE DAY when BATMAN RETURNS (well...Ant-Man). We're getting UP CLOSE & PERSONAL on our PFEIFFER PFINALE, which is pfilled with our takeaways from completing the entire pfilmography of the one-and-only Michelle Pfeiffer. We're answering insightful audience questions, unveiling our Top 20 (and bottom 5) Pfeiffer performances, and playing a pfew last rounds of Six Degrees of Michelle Pfeiffer. Thank you to our pfabulous guests and wonderful listeners for going on this journey with us. We can't wait to see another Pfriday. Meow.

    French Exit (2020)

    This Pfriday brings the startling realization that our plan was to die before the movies ran out, but here we are to discuss La Pfeiffer's most recent release, FRENCH EXIT, pfeaturing Michelle's transcendent performance as Frances Price. This tragic pfarce gives us everything: MIchelle doing something entirely new in a lead role worthy of her talents, possessed cats, 2020's uber-twink Lucas Hedges, frozen dildos, and Valerie Mahaffey giving a zanily wonderful supporting actress turn. We also talk about the movie's release dates, from festival to theatrical, and the stacked leading actress races on the 2020 awards circuit.  If you enjoy what you hear, please rate and subscribe on your preferred podcast channel.

    The Wizard of Lies (2017)

    This Pfriday, we're clicking our heels three times and saying there's no place like Montauk as we discuss THE WIZARD OF LIES, Michelle's return to television movies after over 30 years. Playing Ruth Madoff, and reteaming with Robert De Niro as the infamous Bernie, La Pfeiffer gives a strong performance as a wife in freefall. In a crowded awards race for stellar female performances, Michelle earned her first Emmy nomination and returned to the Golden Globes for her seventh career nom (and first for a television performance). Other topics for discussion are additional acting MVP Alessandro Nivola as one of Madoff's sons, and the real-life scandal to dramatized adaptation pipeline.

    The Children Nobody Wanted (1981)

    This Pfriday, we take a brief detour from La Pfeiffer's pfeature pfilms to delve into her work on television, where her acting career began. The first entry in this two-episode miniseries is THE CHILDREN NOBODY WANTED, Michelle's final TV movie before her breakout role in Grease 2. Based on the true story of The Butterfield Ranch, Michelle is given what is considered her first leading role, but is once again playing the supportive girlfriend. We're also talking about how the medium of television films have changed since the 80s, the perils of typecasting, plus the natural talent Michelle continued to show in these early roles.  If you enjoy what you hear, please rate and subscribe on your preferred podcast channel.

    Frankie and Johnny (1991)

    It's Pfriday and the special of the day is FRANKIE AND JOHNNY, a delicious slice of 90s romance pfeaturing the Scarface reunion of Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino. Joining us at our diner booth today is the pfabulous Francesca Brown, who's here to chat with us about our many takeaways from this pfilm: love at first sight and workplace romances, seeing ourselves in certain characters, loneliness, the fun of teaching Kate Nelligan palindromes ("Puppy!"), and the beautiful marriage between Michelle's layered performance and Terrence McNally's dialogue. Order up! You can follow Francesca on Twitter @FrannieDB94 and Instagram @francesca.db_ If you enjoy what you hear, please rate and subscribe on your preferred podcast channel.

    Dark Shadows (2012)

    This Pfriday, a vampire, a witch, and two Oscar-nominated actresses walk into a dilapidated manor. Cue the werewolf! Welcome to Collinwood as we rise from our coffins to tackle DARK SHADOWS, the Michelle Pfeiffer/Tim Burton reunion that failed to reach the critical, commercial or cultural highs of their previous collaboration. We discuss Michelle's heightened performance and hilarious facial expressions (and revisit the age-old adage: do not underuse La Pfeiffer), the trajectories of Burton and Depp post-Sweeney Todd, the pitfalls of reboots, and the gothic perfection of Eva Green.

    A Thousand Acres (1997)

    This Pfriday takes us back to Shakespeare, as we harvest all we can from A THOUSAND ACRES, the Michelle Pfeiffer/Jessica Lange-led retelling of King Lear. A passion project for both actresses, this dark drama had a long, winding road from Pulitzer Prize-winning novel to a finished film neither particularly loved. We track this movie from start to finish, including Lange's Golden Globe nom and the outstanding landscape for awards in 1997, but the main focus is the joy of watching two titanic (see what we did there?) actresses act so beautifully opposite one another.

    I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007)

    Happy Pfriday! Did you know there's a Pfeiffer pfilm that pfeatures Tracey Ullman as Mother Nature, the technical feature film debut of Saoirse Ronan, a manic pixie dream boy Paul Rudd, and Michelle being pforty and pfabulous? Well, now you do! Buckle up for the tale of I COULD NEVER BE YOUR WOMAN, a romantic comedy that has all the right pieces to succeed (Amy Heckerling? Michelle Pfeiffer? Paul Rudd?), but ended up in a torturous release limbo that led it straight-to-DVD. Fortunately for us, it has many wonderful discoveries, chief among them Michelle's dazzling comedic skills on full display and another wonderful mother-daughter relationship anchoring the antics.
