Shoulda Been A Contenda: Rosemary's Baby (1968)

from OscarWatch Podcast · host OscarWatch

No, it's not a dream, this is really happening. Amy and Steve are once again returning to the banner year of 1968 to discuss another genre film that broke boundaries and that we think may have deserved a Best Picture nom, Rosemary's Baby. A warning: we do discuss director Roman Polanski, criminal and briefly get into what he did. However, we also marvel that such a cruddy human being can also create such a boldly, proudly feminist film - as polemic as anything the 1960s created. And just why wasn't Mia Farrow - who is in every scene! - not considered? Is this film really just reinforcing why you should never be friends with your neighbors? And of course, Steve gets mighty upset at New York real estate. Question to you all: Guy Woodhouse: worst husband or THE WORST husband? All that, the music, the adaptation and more this week on the podcast. Send in your requests for our December gift month, four weeks of you calling the shots.
