This is our Oscar Sprint Profile for All the Money in the World. We sing, we rap, we quote SNL skits… we’re triple threats! And it’s a kooky intro, as we usually do before we have to discuss serious subjects. The Kevin Spacey sexaul assault allegations are certainly that, and we go through a timeline on the accusations and industry reactions. This timeline then leads into our coverage of the production and re-production of Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World.

We chronicle the Times Up / Golden Globes backlash to the wage gap story regarding Michelle Williams and Mark Wahlberg’s salaries paid out and eventually, paid forward, and we offer Cast & Crew filmographies for director Ridley Scott, writer David Scarpa, and stars Christopher Plummer Michelle Williams, and (sort of) Mark Wahlberg. We giggle like idiots with several digressions down rabbit holes into a Wonderland of corny jokes. You love us. Also, please love us.

In the movie specs section, we break down whether or not the recasting could have possibly salvaged the film’s destiny. Then we dive headlong into our non-spoiler review of the technical mastery of the production values, some of the Oscar worthy performances, and how NOT to portray spies in film. Hint, don’t cast Mark Wahlberg as a secret agent man. (Aren’t you glad I put that song in your head now? You are? So am I.)

The movie has its highs and lows, and we flush them out in both the spoiler and preceding non-spoiler reviews of the film. The script is strong, but could it have been stronger? We create a writer’s room of two here and bang out what we think would have been a better story. Here’s us looking forward to how Danny Boyle is gonna tell the story in the upcoming Mini-Series.

The Oscar Sprint Profile series is completed with this episode. We’ve now reviewed each of the nominated films from the Acting categories, Best Original Screenplay, Director, and Picture. Hopefully our backlog of episodes are enjoyable beyond the season, and you can listen on demand and at your convenience.
