Episode 11: The House of the Spirits

What About Meryl?

Show Notes

The ladies aren't happy about this week's film, 1993's The House of the Spirits. A movie where Meryl levitates objects and everybody tries to hide it?! How can that be?! Also there's so much unnecessary sexual assault and whitewashing and we can't stand it.

It's been a while since we've last recorded but as our finale looms, we take a look at the 2003 miniseries 'Angels in America'. We talk about Meryl's many roles in the series from rabbi to ghost mother, how much Al Pacino loves 'A Cry in the Dark', Mary Louise Parker and how this isn't our favourite Emma Thompson role despite her angelic persona. We also talk about some Meryl news involving Mamma Mia 2 and a somewhat 'Silkwood' reunion! Get ready for our finale with 'It's Complicated' next week!

As we're winding down, we're tackling another serious role for Meryl with 1998's 'One True Thing'. From the 'timeless mom' look Streep brings, Renee Zellweger reminding us how good of an actress she is, to William Hurt being good (but actually bad.) Tune in next week for Angels in America!

Here we go again! This week, we tackle 2008's summer smash 'Mamma Mia!' So much singing and dancing that neither of us is saying SOS. We talk Meryl's singing, Pierce Brosnan wanting to work with 'drama school crushes' and Danita identifying with Julie Walters and being okay with ending up with Stellan Skarsgård.
