The second episode of the 4 Quadrant podcast is here! This week we take a quick look at the extremely competitive Best Actress race where its clear there are so many worthy nominees that it’s not an exaggeration to suggest at least five actresses will get “robbed” on Oscar nominations day. We’ve also got a fun conversation with Andrea Arnold about her acclaimed new film “American Honey” which is now playing in limited release around the country. Arnold talks about the impromptu road trip after a visit to the Sundance Film Festival that inspired her to make “Honey,” casting newcomer Sasha Lane and whether she caught a glimpse of the anger seen among Donald Trump supporters when she researched and shot the film.
