Rotten Tomatoes Awards Editor Jacqueline Coley hosts an in-depth interview podcast which chronicles all the awards show happenings and contenders through the season as well as the cultural and historic significance of every lens, line, lyric, and costume on screen. Tune in to hear first-hand accounts of film festivals debuts, red-carpet premieres, and tastemaker screenings; alongside intimate career spanning conversations with the creatives and craftspeople of award-worthy cinema and television.
This week on the Awards Tour podcast, our host, Jacqueline Coley, sits down with the incomparable June Squibb, the 94-year-old Oscar-nominated actress who captured America's heart after her scene-stealing performance in ‘Nebraska’ alongside Bruce Dern. This year, she is back on the awards circuit playing the eponymous lead in ‘Thelma,’ the Magnolia Pictures broad action comedy about a grandmother who goes on a John Wick-style revenge adventure after hackers scam her out $10,000.
Strutting into awards season with her first starring role after nearly 70 years in the industry, Squibb is riding high and reflecting on her career. We spoke to her about her humble beginnings on stage as an accomplished tap dancer, how a local night out at a bar gave her the hunger to be a performer, and why, at nearly 95 years of age, she's still looking for new and exciting roles. This includes her next project, an appearance in the ‘American Horror Story’ universe for mega producer Ryan Murphy.
Give a listen to our chat with June Squibb, and we will see you all next time on the Awards Tour.
