100th Episode: A Look Back

A hundred eps, a hundred eps, you can hear the whistle blow a hundred eps. On our 100th episode (if you ignore the bonus episodes, panel discussions, and two-parters, so, like, using Tarantino logic), Josh and Andrew rummage through the archives and search for which films are worthy of being a part of the Take-Up Canon. Will it be Gus van Sant’s shot-for-shot remake of Psycho? Will it be Björk’s magical sounds that spin you around in Dancer in the Dark? Or Ousmane Sembène’s masterpiece Black Girl? Or the gross, bacon-taped lewdness of Gummo? Listen in, fuck around, find out, and join our celebration at The Take-Up! Continuing the festivities, they have One More Thing, spreading the word over Lance Oppenheim’s Texan documentary Ren Faire and AppleTV sci-fi show Silo, starring Take-Up favorite Rebecca Ferguson. Next week, filmmaker and Lindenwood professor Ben Scholle comes by and talks with our hosts about the collage documentary Cameraperson. Made by Dick Johnson is Dead director Kirsten Johnson, the trio spotlight the globe-trotting doc that has made her a critic darling.
