Best Pick with John Dorney, Jessica Regan and Tom Salinsky Episode 68: Driving Miss Daisy (1989) Released 26 August 2020 For this episode, we watched Driving Miss Daisy, written by Alfred Uhry from his play, directed by Bruce Beresford and starring Jessica Tandy (won), Morgan Freeman (nominated) and Dan Aykroyd (nominated). It also won for its screenplay and its make-up. Beresford was not even nominated as Best Director – very rare for a Best Picture winner. Kim Basinger sticks up for Do the Right Thing. https://youtu.be/vbePj-sKV8w?t=367 Newness on Netflix. https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80172958 https://www.wbshop.com/products/looney-tunes-speechless-print-honoring-mel-blanc-1 https://www.indiewire.com/2019/06/do-the-right-thing-spike-lee-30-anniversary-1202154208/ Next time we will be discussing Wings.
