The Collider Podcast, Ep. 301 - 'Mike Nichols: A Life' (Special Guest: Author Mark Harris)

Tue, 09 Feb 2021 17:11:00 GMT

This week on The Collider Podcast, we're honored to be joined by author and film historian Mark Harris to discuss his new book, Mike Nichols: A Life. Mike Nichols was a legendary director of stage and screen who had received widespread acclaim by his mid-30s, first for his comedy routines with Elaine May and then for directing the Tony-award winning Neil Simon plays Barefoot in the Park and The Odd Couple before moving on to Hollywood to direct Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and The Graduate. However, his life and career were tumultuous, and with a humanistic and thoughtful approach, Harris examines Nichols' gifts as a director as well as his personal insecurities, passions, and transformation.

Our conversation with Harris is roughly split into three sections. We begin by discussing the process of writing the book, how it differed from his first two books Pictures at a Revolution and Five Came Back, how what he knew from his personal relationship with Nichols changed during the course of his research, the challenges of revisiting The Graduate without repeating himself, and more.

The second section of the podcast gets into what made Nichols a unique director, why his work is under appreciated because we don't understand what it means to direct actors, how he brought a more forthright vision of sexuality to Hollywood with movies like The Graduate and Carnal Knowledge, how his approach to movies changed over the course of his career, and more.

Finally, we discuss in detail some of Nichols' films that flopped at the time but can now be seen as some of his better work including Heartburn and Catch-22.

Also, since Harris is an Oscars scholar, we didn't want to pass up the opportunity to close out this episode talking about this unique year and how it may affect voting on the Academy Awards.

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 08:00:00 GMT

This week on the second of two new The Collider Podcast episodes, we're running down our Top 10 films 0f 2020. It should be noted that these lists are still subject to change (we recorded this on Monday, December 28th, and our lists don't publish until the 30th and 31st), but also that defining a "2020 movie" was particularly difficult this year as the Academy stretched out its eligibility dates into early 2021 due to COVID. That's why there are movies on our lists that technically don't open until February 2021, but because they've played at festivals and screened for critics, we're marking them as 2020 movies.
