Nepotism Can Be Good: A Laura Dern Podcast

In this week’s episode we're breaking down the 2016 Kelly Reichardt film “Certain Women.” Starring Laura Dern, Michelle Williams, and Lily Gladstone, join us as go over our obscure listener data, lesbian farmers, and the fact that men have no rights.

This week, we’ll be talking all about the 2014 film “Wild,” which landed both Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern academy award nominations. This episode is best enjoyed on a 1,100 mile hike across the country.

This week, we‘re breaking down Jay Roach’s 2008 HBO film “Recount," concerning the controversial and contested 2000 U.S. Presidential election. Laura Dern's mesmerizing role as Katherine Harris, one of the key players in electing George W. Bush, earned her a Golden Globe. Join us as we discuss this totally normal and completely uneventful topic in American history.

This episode was recorded before the murder of George Floyd, so we didn’t get the chance to address the current climate of our country. We wholeheartedly support the Black Lives Matter movement as well as the protestors that are fighting for what’s right. Please refer to the link in our Instagram bio (@nepotismcanbegood) for resources to support the Black community. If you are able to protest, let your voice be heard. We stand with you.

This week, we’re discussing David Lynch’s incomprehensible and intense 2006 film “Inland Empire.” Join us as we attempt to make sense of this fascinating digital blend of screwdrivers, dancing ladies, and anthropomorphic rabbits.

This week, we watched John Curran's 2004 film "We Don't Live Here Anymore." Disclaimer for those of you that like this film, we did not (like not at all). So, this will not be a good time for you. You've been warned.
