Pfeiffer PfridaysThe Pfeiffer PfinaleHappy Pfriday, Pfeiffer Pfans! THE AGE OF INNOCENCE is over and it's time for us to make our FRENCH EXIT until that ONE FINE DAY when BATMAN RETURNS (well...Ant-Man). We're getting UP CLOSE & PERSONAL on our PFEIFFER PFINALE, which is pfilled with our takeaways from completing the entire pfilmography of the one-and-only Michelle Pfeiffer. We're answering insightful audience questions, unveiling our Top 20 (and bottom 5) Pfeiffer performances, and playing a pfew last rounds of Six Degrees of Michelle Pfeiffer. Thank you to our pfabulous guests and wonderful listeners for going on this journey with us. We can't wait to...2021-11-191h 01Pfeiffer PfridaysFrench Exit (2020)This Pfriday brings the startling realization that our plan was to die before the movies ran out, but here we are to discuss La Pfeiffer's most recent release, FRENCH EXIT, pfeaturing Michelle's transcendent performance as Frances Price. This tragic pfarce gives us everything: MIchelle doing something entirely new in a lead role worthy of her talents, possessed cats, 2020's uber-twink Lucas Hedges, frozen dildos, and Valerie Mahaffey giving a zanily wonderful supporting actress turn. We also talk about the movie's release dates, from festival to theatrical, and the stacked leading actress races on the 2020 awards circuit. If y...2021-11-121h 00Pfeiffer PfridaysThe Wizard of Lies (2017)This Pfriday, we're clicking our heels three times and saying there's no place like Montauk as we discuss THE WIZARD OF LIES, Michelle's return to television movies after over 30 years. Playing Ruth Madoff, and reteaming with Robert De Niro as the infamous Bernie, La Pfeiffer gives a strong performance as a wife in freefall. In a crowded awards race for stellar female performances, Michelle earned her first Emmy nomination and returned to the Golden Globes for her seventh career nom (and first for a television performance). Other topics for discussion are additional acting MVP Alessandro Nivola as one of...2021-11-051h 04Pfeiffer PfridaysThe Children Nobody Wanted (1981)This Pfriday, we take a brief detour from La Pfeiffer's pfeature pfilms to delve into her work on television, where her acting career began. The first entry in this two-episode miniseries is THE CHILDREN NOBODY WANTED, Michelle's final TV movie before her breakout role in Grease 2. Based on the true story of The Butterfield Ranch, Michelle is given what is considered her first leading role, but is once again playing the supportive girlfriend. We're also talking about how the medium of television films have changed since the 80s, the perils of typecasting, plus the natural talent Michelle continued to...2021-10-2942 minPfeiffer PfridaysFrankie and Johnny (1991)It's Pfriday and the special of the day is FRANKIE AND JOHNNY, a delicious slice of 90s romance pfeaturing the Scarface reunion of Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino. Joining us at our diner booth today is the pfabulous Francesca Brown, who's here to chat with us about our many takeaways from this pfilm: love at first sight and workplace romances, seeing ourselves in certain characters, loneliness, the fun of teaching Kate Nelligan palindromes ("Puppy!"), and the beautiful marriage between Michelle's layered performance and Terrence McNally's dialogue. Order up!You can follow Francesca on Twitter @FrannieDB94 and Instagram...2021-10-221h 20Pfeiffer PfridaysDark Shadows (2012)This Pfriday, a vampire, a witch, and two Oscar-nominated actresses walk into a dilapidated manor. Cue the werewolf! Welcome to Collinwood as we rise from our coffins to tackle DARK SHADOWS, the Michelle Pfeiffer/Tim Burton reunion that failed to reach the critical, commercial or cultural highs of their previous collaboration. We discuss Michelle's heightened performance and hilarious facial expressions (and revisit the age-old adage: do not underuse La Pfeiffer), the trajectories of Burton and Depp post-Sweeney Todd, the pitfalls of reboots, and the gothic perfection of Eva Green.If you enjoy what you hear, please rate...2021-10-1556 minPfeiffer PfridaysA Thousand Acres (1997)This Pfriday takes us back to Shakespeare, as we harvest all we can from A THOUSAND ACRES, the Michelle Pfeiffer/Jessica Lange-led retelling of King Lear. A passion project for both actresses, this dark drama had a long, winding road from Pulitzer Prize-winning novel to a finished film neither particularly loved. We track this movie from start to finish, including Lange's Golden Globe nom and the outstanding landscape for awards in 1997, but the main focus is the joy of watching two titanic (see what we did there?) actresses act so beautifully opposite one another.If you enjoy...2021-10-081h 15Pfeiffer PfridaysI Could Never Be Your Woman (2007)Happy Pfriday! Did you know there's a Pfeiffer pfilm that pfeatures Tracey Ullman as Mother Nature, the technical feature film debut of Saoirse Ronan, a manic pixie dream boy Paul Rudd, and Michelle being pforty and pfabulous? Well, now you do! Buckle up for the tale of I COULD NEVER BE YOUR WOMAN, a romantic comedy that has all the right pieces to succeed (Amy Heckerling? Michelle Pfeiffer? Paul Rudd?), but ended up in a torturous release limbo that led it straight-to-DVD. Fortunately for us, it has many wonderful discoveries, chief among them Michelle's dazzling comedic skills on full...2021-10-0156 minPfeiffer PfridaysLadyhawke (1985)Come pfly with us on this Pfeiffer Pfriday, as we revel in the synth-infused goodness of La Pfeiffer's entry in the 80s pfantasy canon: the delightful pfable LADYHAWKE, where Michelle plays a lady...who is also a hawk. This transformative episode has many chapters: Michelle's non-Disney, non-damsel take on this pfilm's lady fair, the peak fuckability of Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller's Medieval Day Off, anybody?), the next chapter of the Michael/Jerry-verse AKA What Animal Do We Transform Into?, and how LADYHAWKE fits into the beloved genre of 1980s fairy tales and fantasies.If you enjoy what...2021-09-2458 minPfeiffer PfridaysPeople Like Us (2012)This Pfriday, we add another entry to the "This is a Pfeiffer Pfilm?" canon as we talk about the all-but-forgotten family drama PEOPLE LIKE US, the small film that fell through the cracks due to a busy 2012 release weekend opposite Ted and Magic Mike. Featuring two excellent lead performances from Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks, La Pfeiffer is a touching standout in a role that begins a new chapter in the Michelle Mom-iverse: having an adult child. We also jump into the casting rumors of this film (with special mention to agent of chaos, Annette Bening) and the tumultuous...2021-09-171h 06Pfeiffer PfridaysWolf (1994)This Pfriday kicks off our final 10 Pfeiffer pfilms and we can feel a certain change coming over us. Perhaps it's that full moon? The pfascinating Frank Calvillo joins us to howl about WOLF, the supernatural thriller that has Jack Nicholson marking his territory, James Spader amping his sleaze up to the nth degree, and Michelle delivering an ending that will have you gasping for breath. This underrated 90s movie gives us plenty to talk about: the remarkable list of cast and crew (Mike Nichols, Ennio Morricone, etc.), conspiracy theories, and La Pfeiffer basking in a true supporting role, while...2021-09-101h 04Pfeiffer Pfridaysmother! (2017)Happy Pfortieth, Pfeiffer Pfans! In honor of this very special Pfriday, we pfigured why not go pfull metaphor (or meta-forty, if you will). It's time to have some spiked lemonade and tell us why you don't have kids, because we are talking about MOTHER! And we are very lucky to have our own guest knocking on our door: the pfantastic horror guru Sharai Bohannon joins us to unpack the many feelings this movie brings out. From Biblical allegories to the Razzies to the delicious mischief of Michelle's performance, the three of us ride this roller coaster together from beginning...2021-09-031h 19
Pfeiffer PfridaysI Am Sam (2001)This Pfriday, we're talking about the pros and pitfalls of parenting as seen through the eyes of the characters in I AM SAM, the 2001 drama that was probably never meant to be watched from a 2021 perspective. We've got our Starbucks firmly in hand and we have multiple points to cover for this case: is La Pfeiffer's "biggest" moment as the marshmallow-popping Rita actually her best, the breakout star turn of eight-year old Dakota Fanning, why we love Dianne Wiest, a declaration of a certain nemesis of the pod, as well as the packed and ever-changing landscape of the Supporting...2021-08-271h 21Pfeiffer PfridaysDangerous Minds (1995)This Pfriday, step inside the classroom as we cover one of the iconic staples of the 90s: DANGEROUS MINDS. The immediately recognizable poster art, a Grammy-winning hit in Coolio's Gangta's Paradise, and Michelle's Southern ex-Marine all came together to make this one of the biggest box-office smashes of 1995 (and the biggest hit of Michelle's actor-producer career). This episode has more video store memories, the pitfalls of being formulaic, and teacher-student movies that we love and how Dangerous Minds falls amongst them. There will be a quiz after - all you have to do is try and you get a...2021-08-201h 03Pfeiffer PfridaysWhere is Kyra? (2017)This Pfriday, we're pfinally talking about one of the most underrated performances in the Pfeiffer canon: Kyra Johnson in WHERE IS KYRA?, the bleak indie that brought Michelle back to movies after another four year absence. This movie carries its own special brand of horror, asking real-life questions about how to survive in a world that doesn't see you and the lengths one would go to just to keep their life from crumbling. Along with those questions, we cover this pfilm's trek from festivals to release limbo, and take a long look at the brilliant, understated work La Pfeiffer...2021-08-131h 06Pfeiffer PfridaysThe Story of Us (1999)Pfeiffer Pfans, sit back and let your hosts tell you a story about THE STORY OF US, a pfilm that is as askew as La Pfeiffer's bite plate (more on that in the episode). For a movie that's marketing as a harmless 90s relationship dramedy, it managed to push a lot of buttons that it had no business pushing, so expect the unexpected this episode. We take a deep look at how this movie plays to two people who have been impacted by divorce and the problems inherent in its screenwriting, in particular. As we wish this movie had...2021-08-061h 00Pfeiffer PfridaysMarried to the Mob (1988)This Pfriday's episode is brought to you by the letter M: Michelle, Mercedes, and Matthew Modine all starring in the crime comedy MARRIED TO THE MOB. We are joined by the pfabulous Laura Saladino to discuss the many joys this pfilm has to offer: how refreshing it feels to watch a female-led mob movie, Michelle's sweetly unique performance, Mercedes Ruehl's unhinged hilarity, and, of course, the iconic hair and costumes. We also take a long look at the stacked actress line-ups of 1988 awards shows (including Michelle's first Golden Globe nomination), and the gift that was Jonathan Demme. It's time...2021-07-301h 09Pfeiffer PfridaysMaleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019)This Pfriday sees the end of our Magical Michelle Miniseries. Our crossbows are out and, much like La Pfeiffer's wicked Queen Ingrith, our sights are set on the Disney sequel nobody asked for, MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL. We start once upon a time with memories of the one that started it all, Sleeping Beauty, and after a quick detour through the original Maleficent, we get to its sequel: Michelle fully channeling a long, lost Lannister, the sins committed against Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, and the crackling diva sparks that don't quite set fire to the screen. Plus, a special...2021-07-231h 07Pfeiffer PfridaysStardust (2007)This Pfriday's pfilm holds a very special place in both our hearts, and we would gladly let La Pfeiffer's villainous witch Lamia eat our hearts if she asked. We are going through the Wall on the magical adventure that is STARDUST! We go to Stormhold and back again, as we discuss seeing this movie in theatres, crushing on the adorable Charlie Cox, Oscar nom bafflements (no makeup? no costume design? Huh?) and, of course, the delicious and joyful evil coursing through Michelle as she plays this movie's wicked antagonist. Come get spellbound with us!If you enjoy...2021-07-161h 05Pfeiffer PfridaysA Midsummer Night's Dream (1999)As we continue our exploration of Magical Michelle, we must admit this Pfriday that we hath fallen in love with an ass: Jerry for Dominic West's and Michael for Christian Bale's. However, La Pfeiffer's fairy queen Titania has fallen in love with the transforméd ass that is Kevin Kline, which means we are covering the all-star Shakespeare spectacle that is A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. This episode covers a lot of forest ground, from high school and college Shakespeare productions, to the wealth of 90s Shakespeare films, to the use of bicycles in this particular adaptation. But most importantly, w...2021-07-0954 minPfeiffer PfridaysThe Witches of Eastwick (1987)We're kicking off our Magical Michelle Miniseries in the most pfantastical way we know how: by summoning the iconic combined diva powers of Cher, Susan Sarandon, and La Pfeiffer and diving into the pool of deliciousness that is THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK. The chapters in our spellbook this episode include: how beautifully the titular actresses complement each other, everybody's favorite, average, horny little devil Jack Nicholson (and the original actor cast in his role), our dream casts for any eventual remakes of this pfilm, and which witch we feel we most embody. Pull up a bowl of cherries and...2021-07-0259 minPfeiffer PfridaysThe Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)For our 30th Pfeiffer Pfriday together, we decided we needed to do something a little special and thought that makin' a little whoopee was exactly what was called for. That's right - it's time to discuss Michelle's stunning, sexy and Oscar-nominated performance as Susie Diamond in THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS! And we are very fortunate to have Pfeiffer pfan extraordinaire Nathaniel Rogers join us to discuss everything that makes this movie and its star pfantastic. From The Pea Song to Jennifer Tilly's Candy Man to the Driving Miss Daisy of it all, we are celebrating a crown jewel performance...2021-06-251h 20Pfeiffer PfridaysSinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)Wake up, beauties! Rise and shine. It's a brand new Pfriday and the mortal world is at peace...but not for long. The Pfabulous Pfeiffer Boys are sowing some glorious chaos this week as we dish on Part II of Animated Michelle: SINBAD: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN SEAS, featuring a devilishly delicious vocal performance from La Pfeiffer as Eris, Goddess of Discord. We discuss the seemingly arduous journey of this film, particularly from Michelle's perspective, the homoerotic bromance between Sinbad and Proteus, animated butt, and the present-day goddesses of chaos we have to deal with in our everyday lives.2021-06-181h 01Pfeiffer PfridaysThe Prince of Egypt (1998)Did you know that there can be miracles when you believe? This Pfriday, we have a very special guest joining us: Steve Fala arrived in a basket to deliver us a fantastic chat about Dreamworks' first traditionally animated pfeature, THE PRINCE OF EGYPT. Featuring an all-star cast, including La Pfeiffer as Tzipporah, and stunning animation, this pfilm gives us plenty to cover: childhood memories, Easter baskets, Whitney and Mariah, and Michelle singing beautifully. This episode is truly all we ever wanted.You can follow Steve on IG @stephenindisguiseIf you enjoy what you hear, please...2021-06-111h 09Pfeiffer PfridaysSweet Liberty (1986)This Priday, the Pfabulous Pfeiffer Boys are flying a chopper to Sayville, NY, where a new movie is being shot: SWEET LIBERTY, starring Michelle as Faith Healy, award-nominated actress for playing a coal miner (NOT a coal miner's daughter)! This pfilm gets one sweet and one sour reaction from us, as we discuss Alan Alda's second take as actor-director-writer hyphenate, and wish he'd maybe done just one instead. We also talk about how adorable Lillian Gish is (in her second-to-last film role), and try to answer the age old question: Was Michael Caine Hot?If you enjoy...2021-06-0442 minPfeiffer PfridaysPersonal Effects (2009)Remember two episodes ago when a certain ocean movie broke Jerry? Well, this Pfriday we present The One That Broke Michael or, as it is more commonly known, PERSONAL EFFECTS. This indie exploration of grief gives us a scowling Ashton Kutcher, the always welcome opportunity to talk about Kathy Bates, and a really beautiful and understated performance from Michelle. We also do a heavy dive into the fractured release of this film and how films featuring bankable movie stars all but fall through the cracks.If you enjoy what you hear, please rate and subscribe on your...2021-05-281h 02Pfeiffer PfridaysThe Age of Innocence (1993)This Pfriday, we have a special guest who's come to call bearing yellow roses: Corey Ryan joins us in the parlor to help us celebrate hitting the half-way point of Pfeiffer Pfridays and to chat about the sumptuous THE AGE OF INNOCENCE, which brought Michelle her sixth consecutive Golden Globe nomination as the heartbreaking Countess Ellen Olenska, and should have earned her another Oscar nomination. We talk about the rules and repression the film so brilliantly conveys, the 1993 awards circuit and the steamroller that was Holly Hunter that season, plus we get an extra special dash of salt from...2021-05-2159 minPfeiffer PfridaysNew Year's Eve (2011)Raise your glass, Pfeiffer Pfans! The ball's about to drop and there are resolutions to get made, which can only mean one thing: it's NEW YEAR'S EVE, the star-filled holiday saga that asks you to try and remember why certain people were stars back in 2011. In the mix of a painful Katherine Heigl, a rage-filled Sarah Jessica Parker, and an uncomfortable Hilary Swank is an incredibly charming Hairspray reunion between La Pfeiffer and Zac Efron (at peak himbo), which includes Michelle doing something truly extraordinary. Plus, we dip into the odd assortment of awards this movie managed to garner...2021-05-141h 07Pfeiffer PfridaysThe Deep End of the Ocean (1999)As happens in anybody's pfilm career, there will always be those movies that pfall a little pfar in the eyes of pfans, mayhaps as pfar down as THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN, an adaptation of the very first Oprah's Book Club pick, or as we're subtitling it: The One That Broke Jerry. The pfabulous Pfeiffer boys break out their spying cameras for this part mystery/part family drama and try to answer these burning questions: where is Michelle's lost child? How was Brenda Strong born a Desperate Housewife? And why did the screenwriter have to do this to...2021-05-0755 minPfeiffer PfridaysAmazon Women on the Moon (1987)This Pfriday wraps up our Pfeiffer/Landis double feature with AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON, one of the oddest entries in the Pfeiffer pfilmography, but also a very pleasant surprise. Since this movie reminded us both of a feature-length SNL episode, we'll let you know that this episode has everything: La Pfeiffer wants to see her baby, Froot Loops, random memories of the movie Doubt, David Alan Grier just wanting to sing some good old-fashioned tunes, the Loch Ness monster, Steve Guttenberg being daddy, and your resident pfabulous Pfeiffer boys as Statler and Waldorf. It's a wacky episode to...2021-04-3046 minPfeiffer PfridaysInto the Night (1985)Picture it: you're an insomniac, you drive to the airport and a jewel-smuggling Michelle Pfeiffer lands on your car. What are your options? Well, the only real choice is to go INTO THE NIGHT, the Jeff Goldblum-La Pfeiffer caper populated with more cameos of famous directors than you can keep up with. From Michelle fully establishing her leading lady status to an Eileen Brennan-Clue shoutout to a special guest appearance by real cinephile Sarah Jessica Parker, this episode is as wild a ride as the move itself.If you enjoy what you hear, please rate and subscribe...2021-04-2351 minPfeiffer PfridaysWhat Lies Beneath (2000)Our 20th episode deserves a celebration, so we thought we'd light some candles, break out the ouija board and maybe take a nice, relaxing bath. What could possibly go wrong? This special Pfreaky Pfriday sees Michelle be terrorized by fences, photos and Ford in 2000's What Lies Beneath. From Michelle's character's bad luck with inanimate objects to multiple Hitchcock homages, we have plenty to talk about when it comes to this taut thriller and its two phenomenal leads.

The time has come to go to The Russia House, which earned Michelle her third consecutive Golden-Globe nomination. We talk about the John le Carré of it all, the Golden Globes nomination and placement possibilities for this performance, and break out the best Connery impression we can.

Wake up, grab your neighbor, and get to the airport. We gotta see Jackie! No, we haven't suddenly become a Natalie Portman podcast. It's time for us to go to the president's funeral with Lurene Hallett in Love Field. On top of discussing the labored journey of this film's release, we talk about watching this movie through a 2021 lens, why it's called Best Performance by a Leading Actress (and how people seem to forget this!) and, of course, the awards landscape of 1992, which included Michelle receiving her third (and to this date, final) Oscar nomination....2021-03-261h 02Pfeiffer PfridaysTequila Sunrise (1988)This Pfriday, the Pfabulous Pfeiffer Boys are serving you a rigatoni quattro formaggi, a creamy blend of four Italian cheeses, and for your cocktail we'd recommend Tequila Sunrise, a drink that gives you a hard kick of La Pfeiffer, a splash of Raul Julia singing, and a sense of wondering why you ordered it in the first place. From hot tub mishaps to the banner year of 1988 for Michelle to cinematic love triangles, we order up a round of Tequila Sunrise because there's always time for a cocktail.If you enjoy what you hear, please rate and...2021-03-1952 minPfeiffer PfridaysThe Family (2013)Time to kick back with a lighthearted, pfamily-pfriendly pfilm, where stealing a pencil bag gets you punched, a plumber not doing his job gets him kneecapped, and underestimating Michelle's French will get your store blown up. The Pfabulous Pfeiffer Boys are sitting down for some quality time with The Family. We talk about Michelle being married to the mob again, where she might have fit into the Golden Globes landscape of 2013 and whether Tommy Lee Jones really wanted to be here or not.If you enjoy what you hear, please rate and subscribe on whatever your preferred...2021-03-1258 minPfeiffer PfridaysGrease 2 (1982)Your resident Principal McGee and Blanche would like to welcome you back to a new year at Rydell!

Did we pfall in love with this pfilm...who can say? This movie has dialect work, whole wheat muffins, an awful marriage, Kaye Ballard and Michelle is here to play a young, idealized version of British Susannah York. It's quite the trip, and if you would like to go on this trip yourself, please be aware that both of our DVDs are up for grabs!If you enjoy what you hear, please...2021-02-1949 minPfeiffer PfridaysThe Hollywood Knights (1980)This Pfriday, we kick off our miniseries Michelle: The Scrapbook Years, where we're covering Michelle's first three films in consecutive order.

Mother. Most glamorous prisoner in the yard. These are just a few of the words you could use to describe the wickedly manipulative Ingrid Magnussen, as played by La Pfeiffer in her glorious SAG-nominated turn in White Oleander. 2002 was an incredibly stacked year for female performances and we get into it: the exquisite turns of the four ladies in this film (including Michelle in one of her most psychologically twisted roles), the odd trajectory across voting bodies for Best Supporting Actress nominees that season and the "Oscar narrative" track that can provide momentum to certain actors....2021-01-291h 07Pfeiffer PfridaysMurder on the Orient Express (2017)All aboard the murder train! Michael and Jerry are here to take on you on the wild ride that is Murder on the Orient Express, the star-studded Agatha Christie adaptation that pays more attention to Kenneth Branagh's mustache than most of its Oscar-winning/nominated cast. Michelle glides her way through this caper, snatching wigs in every sense of the phrase, and we cover how murder mysteries have evolved on film, compare the 2017 version to its equally star packed 1974 version and ask plenty of exasperated whys (it is a mystery after all)!If you enjoy what you hear...2021-01-221h 16Pfeiffer PfridaysScarface (1983)Say hello to our little friend!
