Ep. 113 - Jeff Bridges (feat. John Rigby)

In this episode of Munsons at the Movies, guest Munson John Rigby returns for his sixth appearance, lending his Academy Awards expertise to our deep dive into the extraordinary life and career of Jeff Bridges. We marvel at his seven Oscar nominations, dissect his Oscar-winning performance in Crazy Heart, and celebrate his impressive decades-long marriage. The Munsons discuss how 10% of his films lost $10 million or more at the box office, factor nepotism into the Munson Meter, and reflect on how Fat City paved the way for Kingpin, making this podcast possible. From his undeniable charisma on screen to how his role in Starman feels closest to his real-life personality, we examine what makes Bridges such a cinematic treasure and explore the fascinating contrasts between him and his equally talented brother, Beau.
