The two biggest award winners for All About movies!

Yes, we have a special treat for your Oscar season listening. We present a double episode, this time covering ALL ABOUT EVE and ALL ABOUT STEVE.  Despite the similar names, they are not in the least bit similar themselves. Following are two quotes from reviews, see if you can work out which is the classic.

“It has substance in virtually every dramatic and romantic mood, which have been given proper shading and projection by producer Darryl F. Zanuck and Mankiewicz. The segue from the commentary school of cinematurgy, to bridge the flashback sequences, into the vignettes is unobtrusive but an effective technique to tie up the entire package which ends with Miss Baxter hugging the coveted trophy–and a stranger to her friends.”

“If it didn't come from a major studio, I would think the film is a satire of romantic comedies, or at least some kind of avant-garde experiment in testing the limits of audience identification.”

Yeah, so they’re basically the same movie. Mike and Dave discuss the difficulties of fame, awful male friendship, how Bette Davis is the greatest female star in history, and how one of these movies is worse than THE BLIND SIDE.  Listen to find out all the details!
