Episode #35 - Our Meryl Streep anniversary appreciation!

The great Meryl Streep is turning 75 this week and Andy and Sam finally take the opportunity to extensively talk about her incredible filmography, from early Oscar fame in Kramer vs. Kramer and Sophie's Choice to romantic favourites like Out of Africa and Bridges of Madison County, but also her great comedic work in Death Becomes Her, The Devil Wears Prada or indeed Mamma Mia! Her impact in dramatic and political films such as The Hours or The Post or TV work such as Angels in America and Only Murders in the Building also add to her incredible versatility in small or big roles. She is therefore rightfully called the best of her generation, has received innumerable awards and honours, such as recently in Cannes. We discuss why that is, what makes a Meryl Streep performance tick and why she has left such an indelible mark on cinema and our cultural memory. Join us for a festive appreciation!
