270 - Sister Act (Patreon Selects)
All January we'll be doing a series we call Patreon Selects with episodes chosen by members of our sponsor-level tier on Patreon (and they'll be sharing their Oscar origin stories too)! First up is 1992's megasmash musical comedy Sister Act! Originally designed as a showcase for Bette Midler, the film became a starring vehicle for Whoopi Goldberg hot off of her Oscar win for Ghost. With Whoopi as an on-the-run lounge singer who hides out in a convent and turns the church's choir into a sensation, the film won the affection of audiences but not an Academy with a tricky relationship with comedy.
This episode, we talk about Whoopi's career from theatre breakthrough to movie star to Oscar host. We also talk about Dame Maggie Smith's two Oscar wins, the career of writer Paul Rudnick (who took his name off the film), and the divine Mary Wickes.
Topics also include Hook, Nuns Having Fun, and the MTV Movie Awards.

Consider getting a commission from Jon! Such amazing work!
The job search continues to be an absolute nightmare and money is incredibly tight at the moment. DM me if you're interested in a Pokemon Team Commission.
Shares appreciated <3

Next up in my Rogues' Gallery redesign is the Clown Prince of crime himself - The Joker!
Can't decide which jacket color I like best. Would love to get some of your opinions - what color do you like best?

I am terrible at asking for help but the truth is I desperately need it. Money is incredibly tight right now and I’ve got some emergency bills that I need help covering.
I’m opening my commissions up to anyone interested. I’ll draw pretty much anything.
It also doesn’t have to be full colored and shades. If you want to me to sketch something or do just a bust, message me and we can work out a price.
Reblogs and shares and VERY much appreciated.
❤️🥹
