Hello and welcome to Little Gold Men, Vanity Affairs podcast for film, TV, and awards lovers.

I'm David Canfield.

I'm Richard Lawson.

And I'm Rebecca Ford.

Today on the show, we are discussing the Brokeback Mountain re-release, which took place this past weekend, and the film's legacy 20 years on.

We're also going to talk a little bit about some other films we'd love to see get the re-release treatment among Oscar movies of the aughts.

But first, we have heard you loud and clear listeners.

Many, many emails came in after our last episode related to the upcoming Oscar race. We're excited too. And so we wanted to get into a few listener questions that came in, starting with this one from CJ, who asks, what was your impression of the first trailer for Springsteen, Deliver Me, From Nowhere, the movie.

It has a lot of classic ingredients for an awards contender and has appeared in a lot of people's early tea leaves,

but the trailer left me feeling somewhat uninspired as a non-American, perhaps the impact of Springsteen is a bit lost on me,

but it feels too soon after a complete unknown for another edgy musician biopic.

How much of an appetite will there be for this movie? I have a funny anecdote about my interest in Bruce Springsteen.

Years ago at Sundance, there was a movie there called Blinded by the Light about a kid who was

obsessed with Bruce Springsteen. So I walked out of a screening earlier that day. The movie

was premiering that night and a fellow journalist pulled me aside and said,

Richard, Richard, I have to tell you something.

And I was like, oh, my God, what?

He was like, but you cannot tell anyone else.

And I said, okay, please.

And he said, I heard a rumor that Bruce is going to come and perform after the premiere of

Blinded by the Light.

And I kind of blinked to him and I was like, okay. But he cared so much and I didn't care.
