Welcome to the Munsons at the Movies Podcast. Each episode we delve into the filmography and impact of a randomly selected actor. In this episode, we explore the career of Dakota Fanning. Best known for her roles as Rachel in War of the Worlds (2005), Lucy in I Am Sam (2001), and Lupita in Man on Fire (2004), Dakota is the youngest actor ever to be invited to the AMPAS. Joined by guest Munson, Sam Phillips, we discuss the 3 distinct phases of Fanning's career (childhood, teen, and adult), her resume of working with acting legends, Sam's hilarious review of the abomination that is The Cat in the Hat (2003), and posit why James' cat loved Coraline (2009) more than him. Where does Fanning's career rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.
