    The Prom (with Tom Zohar!)

    The Prom (with Tom Zohar!)

    Needing a little zazz in your life? Fret not, because The Kidmanifesto is back with Nicole's latest, and this time we brought along our third understudy! Our very first guest and resident thespian Tom Zohar returns to discuss another Meryl and Nicole showcase, and this time they actually get to be in the same scenes! We discuss the songs, the jokes and the Ryan Murphy of it all, and try to say as little about James Corden as possible. The whole thing is only slightly less traumatizing than actual prom!

    The Goldfinch (with John Lambtime Pearson!)

    The Goldfinch (with John Lambtime Pearson!)

    We're back! Sort of! After a six month hiatus/ mental health recovery, Sam and podcast favorite Lambtime (@julp) are here to reveal the secrets of THE GOLDFINCH! It takes a while because, hey, it's a long movie (and book!) and also because Sam and Lamby get progressively drunker throughout.



    Also: the winner of the coveted Golden Compass award is finally revealed, in the most confusing way possible! Should we have come back? Who's to say! *Russian accent* POTTER!

    My Life (with Dan D'Addario!)

    My Life (with Dan D'Addario!)

    This week, Nicole and television expert Dan D'Addario (@DPD_) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss MY LIFE! Join the boys as they tackle this Keaton/Kidman mashup that isn't a Batman movie but is better than BIRDMAN! Dan wonders if Nicole Kidman remembered working with Queen Latifah when they were nominated together years later, and Sam thirsts over a very questionable Bradley Whitford mustache.

    Check out Dan's work for Variety here!

    Secret in Their Eyes (with Mark Lentz!)

    This week, friend to the North Mark Lentz (@markamlz) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss the U.S. remake of SECRET IN THEIR EYES (a singular secret, not plural)! We've been away for a little while so Sam takes some time to tear apart Alita: Battle Angel and that Jason Statham movie his mom really wants to see. Mark brings his compound Julia Roberts and Nicole knowledge to the table, and maybe comes out LIVE on the podcast. Join us for this ESPECIALLY wiggy flashback fest, won't you?

A greatly needed asset of Nicole Kidman nation. Doesn’t take itself too seriously and a good time all around.

Shameful and a disgrace to Nicole Kidman fans

Never been more disgusted listening to a podcast and hearing adults bully and abuse a child for their acting before. As a huge fan of Nicole Kidman, it's pretty obvious Ms Kidman would be so ashamed of these so called "fans" of hers trashing a co-star of hers.
