Hey @tcm! I'm Louis Virtel, cohost of the #KeepIt podcast, and I'm livetweeting the immortal WHAT'S UP, DOC ('72) and PAPER MOON ('73). Let's dig into the legend of Madeline Kahn: trembly neurosis that could give way to an operatic scream at any moment. 5 PT! #TCMParty #LetsMovie
Peter Bogdanovich's THE LAST PICTURE SHOW ('71) proved he could unleash the raw inner lives of female characters. But WHAT'S UP, DOC? ('72) gave us a new type of raw: Barbra Streisand's lightning fast, proto-Animaniac comedy chops. She's daring us to comprehend her talent level.
Let's be clear: WHAT'S UP, DOC? is mostly a movie about how many different types of people can have the same taste in luggage.
Ryan O'Neal's neurosis is underrated here. This whole movie he's in the middle of one sustained gulp. @TCM #LetsMovie #TCMParty
