We're getting back on schedule with another Academy Academy Classic. Enjoy!
Our first post-Meryl episode! Your favorite Cosmé McMoon appreciators are taking a break from taking a deep dive into an actor's oeuvre by taking a deep dive into the oeuvre of a director who likes to take deep dives! For the next 4 episodes... we're discussing James Cameron!! We talk about a Bond villain-esque producer best described as the bastard son of Robert Evans without any of the classiness of Robert Evans. There's a tangent about the November Rain music video. There's another tangent about the absurdity of Chris O'Dowd playing a traffic cop in Bridesmaids. And, of course, we discuss Piranha II: The Spawning and The Terminator- grunions and all.
