This week on Fabulous Film and Friends with the glow of our 75th episodeebbing, it’s time to pick up the empty champagne bottles, sweep the floor and go back to discussing one measly film, o’ but what a film it is: 2023’s Killers of the Flower Moon, directed by the legendary Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro, Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, John Lithgow, Brendan Fraser, and a veritable host of craggy-faced old coots on the white end, and on the Native American end, a who’s who of Oklahoma and Montana actors who either got their big break from doing Community Theater or who have never acted in a major feature film before, including the Oscar nominated Lily Gladstone, who, like myself, got her start acting in Montana’s Missoula Children’s Theater.
Who knows? It may have been my heralded performance as the Narrator in Jack in The Beanstalk or my talents at hawking sweatshirts after the big show that gave a young Lily Gladstone the acting bug.
My guests this week are a full sweat lodge of opinionated tribal elders, I’m talking Roseanne Caputi, Alex Robertson and not one but two celebrated authors returning to the program, George Young and David Johnson, DMD
Okay before we get into all-out movie war the synopsis:
Based on true accounts of Osage Nation member who were murdered after oil was discovered on Oklahoma tribal land in the 1920’s. The tribal members had retained mineral rights on their reservation, but Bill Hale, a corrupt local, schemes with his dull-witted and greedy nephews Byron and Ernest Burkhart to steal the tribal members' wealth.
