Episode 361 – Ocean’s Eleven
One of the defining stories of the 2000 Oscar year was the one-two punch of Steven Soderbergh delivering both Traffic and Erin Brockovich, making good on the past decade’s worth of promise kicked off by Sex Lies and Videotape. In 2001, the victory lap was Ocean’s Eleven, a Vegas heist remake that cast some of the biggest names in movies. The film was a box office smash, but ultimately considered just a fun blockbuster romp. It remains a classic but Soderbergh has yet to return to the Oscar club since.
This episode, we talk about the decade leading up to Soderbergh’s Oscar homecoming and the film’s surprising omission from the Globes Comedy races. We also have a quiz heavy episode, with George Clooney and Brad Pitt sharing a double Six Timers Quiz and Julia Roberts enters our Ten Timers Club.
Topics also include the MTV Movie Awards, Don Cheadle’s cockney accent, and the city of Las Vegas.
