Far From Heaven

from The Take-Up Podcast Hosted by The Take-Up

The Take-Up Podcast returns with a spiffy new coat of colors in Todd Haynes' 2002 Douglas Sirk homage Far From Heaven. It's Joshua's pick for building a Take-Up permanent cinema of what made them film-lovers. He and Andrew discuss the Haynes canon, the Sirk canon, and coming out of the "Criterion Closet" in 2002. Alert to fans of stars Julianne Moore, Dennis Haysbert, Dennis Quaid (you exist?), and Viola Davis: your people are praised. Finally, the duo bring up One More Thing with returning favorite show Slow Horses and newcomer Netflix series Long Story Short. Next week Andrew's gone country... or No Country For Old Men, that is, with his 2007 Coen Bros. cinephilic awakening.
