Summary

A film with strong festival reviews that gets dumped to cable television because its commercial prospects appear slim? Sounds like something ripped from today’s cinema headlines, but it’s the case for this week’s film, Rodrigo Garcia’s Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her. Led by a prestigious cast of awards show mainstays, the film is a tapestry of loosely interconnected stories that detail the inner lives of women living in the San Fernando valley. After successful trips to both Sundance and Cannes, the film’s distributor sold the film to Showtime when even its good reviews weren’t considered enough to merit a theatrical release.

This episode, we talk about the understated work of writer/director Garcia and the critical community’s reaction at the time to the film’s punting to cable. We also talk about Calista Flockhart’s run on Ally McBeal, Kathy Baker and Valeria Golino’s absence from the film’s marketing, and how Glenn Close and Holly Hunter went from Oscar beloveds to Emmy perennials.

Topics also include the Emmys, MGM’s then-looming bankruptcy, and the Tyra Banks game.
