We are 78 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today we talk all about All About Eve, 1950's Best Picture winner that brings one of the most feminine stories to the podcast yet - about a woman who seeks to worm her way into the social circle of an aging Broadway star, with plans to usurp her.


Bette Davis' Margo Channing is iconic in this movie as the aging star who is threatened by a talented newcomer named Eve.  In Joseph L. Mankwiecz's classic, we get the story from all angles; every character has their story to share, which is why this movie was nominated for 5 acting Oscars.  It's a movie that clicks on all cylinders and always keeps the audience guessing.  It's a masterpiece of camp and acting - but how does it stand against all of the other winners we've covered?


In this episode you're gonna hear:

  • A guest host who helps explain how this is a seminal queer film
  • Lots of bad (or good?) Eminem impressions
  • The shocking reveal of who actually won acting Oscars in 1951
  • How much bad greenscreen can affect your enjoyment of a movie
