Happy Oscar Day! As mentioned, our Oscar Special ran epically long this year (still time to check it out before the big show), but hours of material were cut for time… material like what’s in this bit of bonus content in which Jeff reads an essay he wrote about Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers. If more deep-dive film analysis is your jam, enjoy!
Also, check the comments for a link to a polished and edited version of Jeff’s brilliant Holdovers analysis.
In a bonus discussion cut from our 2024 Oscars Special, Jeff Jensen reads a prepared essay comparing Alexander Payne's nominated film The Holdovers to the 1970s films that inspired it.
