What on earth is going on in St. Louis and who exactly is DTF in HBO’s newest original series? Why is this boorish gynecologist addressing the birds and the bees to a rowdy bunch of boys during the decline of the American midcentury? Did Heathcliff and Cathy go up to those Crags to fish? All these pressing matters - and more! - will be addressed by the talent: a murder of homosexual crows known as “movies imo” in this, their latest installment of talking to each other on microphones about the fruity miscellanea in film and teevee that caught their eyes this week. Here’s what the guys brought to chat about:
Ben: The Plentiful Versions of Wuthering Heights on the Big Screen (1939 and 2011 edition)
Daniel: Remembering Frederick Wiseman with two of his early ones: High School (1968) and Hospital (1970)
[editor's note: Ben was right that the titular high school was in a predominantly Jewish area, despite the muted reaction from Brandon and Daniel]
Moving forward, in an attempt to simplify the scope of “content” in a given episode, each film faguette will take a week off from bringing a topic to the table; this week Brandon gets to exhale now (Simon). Regardless of the shorter syllabus, they still had a whale of a time breaking the culture wide open and hope you do too.
