Welcome to The B-Side, a podcast from The Film Stage! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. From box office fiascos to interesting curios and hidden gems, we examine the also-rans of Hollywood and beyond.
As part of our annual tradition, we’re launching a series of audience choice polls throughout August in which you can decide on the subject of a future episode.
In week one, Chow Yun-fat won, beating out Jackie Chan, Pam Grier, and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
In week two, Steven Martin won, beating out Mel Brooks, Jerry Lewis, and Richard Pryor.
In week three, Philip Seymour Hoffman won, beating out Joaquin Phoenix, John C. Reilly, and Julianne Moore.
In week four, David Cronenberg and Spike Lee tied, beating out Wes Anderson and James Cameron.
