“Juliet Litman's vituperative, wrongheaded rant (expressed as"hatred") against gifted actor Ben Whishaw queered me off of this favorite podcast. This was the episode reviewing "Mary Poppins Returns" and Litman's "I hate Ben Whishaw. I hate everything he does," was so peculiar and off-putting I thought about it for quite awhile. Whishaw is an actor with deep reservoirs of emotion, but singular in how much access he has to that emotion. Perjoratively, he could be criticized for being lachrymose - but never without motivation. He is also an actor who is gay in real life and often plays gay characters, and plays them very well (see "A Very British Scandal" on Amazon Prime). This made me wonder if Whishaw's raw sensitivity, and sometimes androngynous affect "queered" Litman off. This whiff of homophobia on her part can only be subjective on my part and I'll leave it at that - but LItman's peculiar blindness and visceral repugnance to one of the most gifted actors of his generation is for me, a bridge too far.
But for Litman's participation, The Big Picture with Sean Fennesy and the regular co-host Amanda Dobbins is a 5 star podcast - a smart, detailed, fun look at current cinema.”Read full review »
