The Lone Acting Nominees

Episode 24 - The Ruling Class (with Sam Meltzer)

Episode Summary

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Sam Meltzer (host of the 'And the Oscar Doesn't Go To...' podcast) to discuss one of the most bizarre films ever nominated for an Oscar in any category, much less for an acting prize, with Peter O'Toole's nomination for playing a schizophrenic heir who believes himself to be God in Peter Medak's THE RULING CLASS! Other topics include O'Toole's Dr. Zaius hairstyle, bisexual icon Jack the Ripper, and the Oscar winners we'd most like to see get tackled by a giant gorilla. (Also, we skipped over the final segment during the recording, but we'd each hypothetically give the film an Adapted Screenplay nomination, and I'd throw in Editing as well.)
