We’re back to discussing Meryl Streep (for the SIXTH time!) this episode for a film starring the legend opposite an actress who was overlooked for a defining work. After Oscar ignored the hyperviolent Kill Bill films and its iconic star, Uma Thurman seemed poised for future Oscar success. When she was cast opposite Streep for 2005′s Prime (in addition to a few other high profile roles that year), it looked like this could be more to Oscar’s tastes. Starring Thurman as a woman who falls for a younger man who happens to be the son of her beloved therapist, Prime ultimately was a misfire romantic comedy that quickly got forgotten. This episode, we look at how the film is unsatisfying because it focuses too much on Bryan Greenberg as the male love interest and how it almost starred Meryl’s Oscar rival in a later season: Sandra Bullock. And we welcome Meryl to the THOB Six-Timers club and look back at the previous Streep films we have discussed. Topics also include performer spouses of Real World castmembers, the accumulation of unhinged storylines on Boston Public, and “it’s fashion!” Follow Us on Twitter! @Had_Oscar_Buzz Joe: @joereid Chris: @chrisvfeil
