Episode 264: The BSAs of "Angels in America": Ep 1 & 2 (2003)
We are taking on the heaven-sent HBO television event of 2003, “Angels in America” and specifically the first two episodes this week. Not only is it a Big Important Gay Story, it’s directed by Mike Nichols and stars Meryl Streep, Mary Louise Parker, Emma Thompson and a series of straight men playing impeccably gay, especially Jeffrey Wright. And then there’s Al Pacino as Roy Cohn, in one of the biggest performances we’ve ever gotten to queen out on. Plus Thomas Newman’s score, the scope of Tony Kushner’s storytelling, that prosthetic work on Meryl as the rabbi and a lightning fast pace for a six hour miniseries.
