To end their May Dunaway retrospective, Nick and Sophia marvel at Faye’s turn in some Oscar-nominated and winning thrillers and how she shares the spotlight with some dazzling blonde co-stars. In The Thomas Crown Affair, Faye plays the investigator who tries to outsmart Steve McQueen's titular heist mastermind. Then, as the architect's wife alongside a whopping A-list cast in an epic '70s disaster movie, The Towering Inferno, she manages chaos 135 floors up while navigating guests to safety (11:01). Lastly, in Three Days of the Condor, Robert Redford plays a CIA spy on the run who kidnaps a distressed yet cunning Brooklynite Faye in order to survive (28:10). Listen for plenty of favorite quotes and moments, what they think of Faye’s committed acting, and which blonde actor makes for the best scene partner.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @oscarwildpodFollow Nick @sauerkraut27Follow Sophia @sophia_cimMusic: “The Greatest Adventure” by Jonathan Adamich

This After Dark preview takes a drastic turn from the previous May Dunaway episode, featuring two riotous performances that Faye delivers with non-stop camp. First, it's one of her most iconic roles as the Oscar-winning Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest. Those pesky wire hangers are only the tip of the iceberg of memorable moments from a movie very loosely adapted from her daughter Christina's autobiography. Then, Faye becomes the Wicked Witch of the Carnival as Madame Selena in Supergirl (12:50). Find out what Dolly Parton, Chicago, and a storm dragon have in common as Sophia and Nick "talk real turkey" about this sci-fi spectacle.

Call. Me. Mother! Nick and Sophia dedicate this episode to all the mothers out there by celebrating the diverse collection of moms in these two notable films. In Mildred Pierce, Joan Crawford's titular and Oscar-winning performance embraces film noir to show the lengths a motivated and hardworking mother will go to please her daughter. Then, in All About My Mother, Pedro Almodóvar's first film to win an Academy Award, a bereaved mother finds herself intertwined with the complex lives of a group of women, leading her on a healing journey of self-discovery (19:57). Lastly, they play a fun mini game, awarding superlatives to some of their favorite movie moms in the Serial Mom Awards (41:14).

In honor of one of the most glamorous, natural, and scandalous Oscar winners of all time, it’s time to dedicate the month of May to Ms. Faye Dunaway! Sophia and Nick begin by lauding her first leading role that also earned her her first Oscar nomination in Bonnie and Clyde. Then, they debate whether Faye should have earned more than a sole Golden Globe nomination for Puzzle of a Downfall Child (23:49). Lastly, they share some fun Faye stories, including this run-in at the Arclight.
