After the success of\u00a0The Hours<\/i>\u00a0in 2002, author Michael Cunningham was a hot commodity in prestige cinema. At the same time, Colin Farrell emerged as the next big thing and was seemingly inescapable at the movies. The two converged in 2004 for\u00a0A Home at the End of the World<\/i>, an adaptation of Cunningham\u2019s novel delivered by celebrated stage director Michael Mayer. Also starring Robin Wright, Sissy Spacek, and a breakthrough Dallas Roberts, the film follows a bisexual throuple that forms their own unique family unit outside the societal norms and their struggles to maintain their delicate balance.<\/p>\n
Released in the summer and met with lukewarm reviews,\u00a0A Home…<\/i>\u00a0was mostly forgotten by year\u2019s end despite the strong work of its cast. This episode, we revisit an early THOB bet about Colin Farrell\u2019s long-term Oscar prospects and discuss the beginning days of both Warner Independent and Farrell\u2019s career.<\/p>\n
Topics also include Oscar\u2019s recent history of straight actors in LGBTQ roles, Sissy Spacek smashing plates in the aughts, Michael Mayer\u2019s Broadway directing credits, and\u00a0\u201cpentathalon bangs\u201d. And we tease this year\u2019s May miniseries!<\/p>\n
