If We Had a Patreon: Movie Clubbing Todd Haynes' Carol
Description
Hello Therese, we’re back for our annual holiday extravaganza. This year we’re movie-clubbing Todd Haynes’ very luscious and very gay Carol (2015), starring Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, and Sarah Paulson. We discuss the erotic imagery of merely a glove, lesbian sex scenes through the lens of a gay man, and the joy in watching flat male characters (what even IS Jake Lacy’s character’s name?). All that Carol talk for you plus our reactions to the Golden Globe nominations, our dream casting of Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Emma Stone as Pearl Bailey and Carol Channing in a future film, and some Muppet talk. And then…we give you a solid ten minutes on our theory that gay men hate all gay male things while lesbians are much more accepting, our trip down memory lane to remember “lesbian kiss episodes” during November sweeps, the legacy of Roseanne, and Natalie Zea hunting down Kimberly Pierce for the Boys Don’t Cry short she starred in! Anyway, happy holidays! Do you think Linda Perry and Sara Gilbert watched Carol together?
