In the Details: a Celebration of Nuance

Episode 53: Meryl Crying Against the Dishwasher


Listen Later

It's just too much! This episode I'm queening out on Meryl Streep and Jeff Daniels' emotionally precarious minutes together in "The Hours." Julianne Moore's talking through tears and Nicole Kidman's raspy grasp of an Oscar get moments of appreciation, but it's an un-nominated Meryl melting down in her kitchen much to Jeff Daniels' effortlessly fey dismay that I've held dear all these years. I also discuss just how gay this movie is, how important that was to 17 year old me first discovering it, deep appreciation for Allison Janney as Sally, the tradition of cataloging references, Bad Hostess Syndrome, San Francisco as a city people tell you to like and which straight actors are the best at playing gay.
