Not Her Again

Not Her Again

Not Her Again is the movie podcast where we look at those Oscar years where Meryl Streep was nominated for an Oscar… but went home emptyhanded. All 17 of them (and counting? Probably? Who knows?). Looking at Meryl’s record number of losses will take us from Hollywood in the late ’70s to today, and we’ll see how things have changed, how things haven’t, who should have won, what films were overlooked or overpraised, and why this woman’s attendance is damn near perfect when she loses 85 percent of the time.

We're back! And with a great episode all about Katharine Hepburn's second Oscar win for 1967's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. She starred alongside Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier and her real-life niece in this movie that tackles interracial marriage.

Today, we're diving into an Oscar race that is so fraught with history that an entire episode of Ryan Murphy's Feud was dedicated to it. It's the 1962 race featuring Katharine Hepburn in Long Day's Journey Into Night vs. Anne Bancroft in The Miracle Worker. Oh, and Bette Davis was nominated for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Emergency podcast alert: Framing Britney Spears dropped last week, and as a lifelong Britney fan, I had to talk to someone about it. So I called up my sister Laura, a true Britney disciple, to do a deep dive. We talk about the documentary, Britney's enduring appeal, what the #FreeBritney movement gets right, and also what we think it gets wrong. If you want a supplement to Framing Britney Spears, then you're in the right place.

Katharine Hepburn. Elizabeth Taylor. Montgomery Clift. 1959's Suddenly, Last Summer is a star-studded adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play that touches on everything from homosexuality to insanity to cannibalism. It's a pretty wild ride.

Sorry for the absence — we were going across towns in the American Midwest trying to sell folks a drum that will produce rain. If that sounds up your alley, boy do we have an episode for you. Katharine Hepburn was nominated for Best Actress for her role in 1956's The Rainmaker, but she ultimately lost to Ingrid Bergman, whose portrayal of a would-be royal is deeply... not good?

We're deep in the spinster phase of Katharine Hepburn's career at this point. Hot off the heels of her work in 1951's The African Queen, Hepburn was back in a major way in David Lean's Summertime, a quiet masterpiece about a woman who goes on a trip to Venice and finds love, or something like it, along the way.

Two women who skyrocketed to fame in the 1930s are back in the mix at the 24th Academy Awards. Katharine Hepburn starred alongside Humphrey Bogart in the action-adventure movie The African Queen, while Vivien Leigh was back with the film adaptation of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire.

It's Woman of the Year and Mrs. Miniver this week on Not Her Again! One of these movies came out in early 1942, and the other at the end of the year — you can probably guess which is which based on the plots of the movies.

It was the battle of the faux Philadelphians with Katharine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story and Ginger Rogers in Kitty Foyle. Why were the 13th Academy Awards so dominated by America's third-most prominent second city? Why is Ginger Rogers talking like that? And why was Joan Fontaine's mother so passive aggressive? 

Well, we might not have all the answers, but we have plenty of theories. Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@wa...

You can't win 'em all. Katharine Hepburn got a quick follow-up Oscar nomination after her first win, but this time she lost to Bette Davis in 1935's Dangerous, a film with a name so vague it's impossible to discern what it's about. As an added incentive to listen: across three seasons of this podcast, this episode contains my favorite Oscar trivia I've ever come across.

We're diving into all things Dangerous and Alice Adams, so kic...

New theme music, same us. This season we're covering the career of Katharine Hepburn, considered one of the twentieth century's acting legends. We'll be looking back on Hepburn's twelve Oscar nominations, and today we're starting with her first nomination, for 1933's Morning Glory. Hepburn won the Oscar but, in typical Hepburn fashion, was not around to accept. That would happen three more times.
