January 16, 2025, with Dave and Darren — “Better Man,” “Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” and “The Last Showgirl”



Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra discuss a couple Oscar-worthy films and wonder if there was ever a time in the past when anyone would consider Pamela Anderson to be on such a list. Per Schulz, she did an A-1 job in The Last Showgirl, so it isn’t such a jolt for him to notice how the list has dated like curly fries:

  • Better Man (dir Michael Gracey, starr Robbie Williams, Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton, Kate Mulvany, Alison Steadman, and Damon Herriman).
  • Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (dirs Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, voiced by Ben Whitehead, Peter Kay, Lauren Patel, and Reece Shearsmith).
  • The Last Showgirl (dir Gia Coppola, starr Pamela Anderson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka, Billie Lourd, and Jason Schwartzman).

Previews:

  • Wolf Man (dir Leigh Whannell, starr Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, Matilda Firth, and Sam Jaeger).
  • One of Them Days (dir Lawrence Lamont, starr Keke Palmer, SZA, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Maude Apatow, Katt Williams, Joshua Neal, Aziza Scott, Patrick Cage, Dewayne Perkins, Amin Joseph, Gabrielle Dennis, DomiNque Perry, Lil Rel Howery, and Janelle James).
