Description

There's no point in pussy-footing around it. We think Driving Miss Daisy is cutesy crap. The Next 138 Project delves deep into this poor choice for the Academy's Best Picture of 1989 as we analyze the Jessica Tandy / Morgan Freeman relationship. She's a cast-iron jerk and he's a paper-thin Uncle Tom. The actors do the best they can with these clumsy characters, but this film that thinks it's being sensitive about race is actually quite racist. It was controversial that Bruce Beresford wasn't nominated for Best Director, but it's not like he should have been. We had fun rending this movie asunder, so we hope you have just as much fun hearing us rend. And what would go great with this podcast? A steaming cup of java from Sparkplug Coffee.
