You might not expect a family-friendly live action Disney movie to draw awards attention, but not all of those types of films star Jamie Lee Curtis. In 2003, JLC starred in a Freaky Friday remake starring then ascendant teen star Lindsay Lohan. The two spin comedy gold as a tenuous mother and daughter who wake one morning to find they’ve been body swapped. Lohan show smart comedy chops as the square mother, but it was Curtis in rebellious teenage mode that earned high praise, including a Golden Globe nomination.
This episode, we talk about Lohan’s fast rise of films in the aughts and Curtis’ place in the 2003 Best Actress race. We also discuss director Mark Waters, Curtis’ prestige road to a Supporting Actress Oscar win, and the film’s aughts fashion.
Topics also include Kept, Lois Duncan books, and The Hives vs. The Vines.
