Mia, Brian and Gemma talk with the most Academy Awarded Australian of all-time, Catherine Martin—production and costume designer of Elvis—about tight butts and Baz Lurhmann’s secret dance skills. We examine the Letterboxd data for To Leslie, from the film’s SXSW premiere last year through to its recent Oscar nomination for leading actress. And we revisit the first movie to receive the Sundance Grand Jury prize, Marisa Silver’s Old Enough. Plus: a news recap of the Grammys, ACE and AARP awards, bad moms get noms, the newest EGOT champion, Brian’s secret past as a tambourine-bashing DJ, and how to get the best wiggle out of a pair of pants.
Credits: Recorded in Los Angeles, Auckland and Australia. Edited by Slim. Facts by Jack. Transcript by Sophie. Theme: ‘Hyperlight’ by Letterboxd member Trent Walton (AKA Echo Wolf). Best in Show is a TAPEDECK production. Title courtesy of Christopher Guest.
