For your Boston-area members: Phantom Thread will be playing on the big screen at the Coolidge on Monday, December 11 as part of their wonderful Science on Screen program.
Another podcast I’m looking forward to! That is one great chess game of a movie. I would also vote to add another Daniel Day-Lewis performance to the series, in Spielberg’s Lincoln. Another, very different, chess game.
Please, Ms Harris, edit the habitual "like" from your commentary. It becomes distracting in your otherwise incisive observations. I look forward to hearing more to and fro between you and Ty Burr.
Now I've watched this discussion, back to back with the Paterson discussion, both of which I enjoyed thoroughly and will send me back to watch both movies again. But this discussion was to me the most engrossing, most enjoyable of the series. If there isn't an ounce of fat in Phantom Thread, there wasn't an ounce of fat in this discussion. I even took notes! I am going to enjoy watching it again with all of the thoughts and ideas you've sparked. Thank you both (and I'm definitely subscribing to Hung Up)!
Three more comments, one for Paterson, two for Phantom Thread: New Jersey movies: The Big Night, Jersey Boys and Garden State. Another thematic antecedent to Phantom Thread: Prizzi's Honor. And I agree with Hunter Harris that the dresses are and are meant to be beautiful. The movie, despite being woefully overlooked by the Oscars, did win for costume design.

I initially read it as “Phantom Menace” and kinda panicked: “Oh, no! What’s happened to Mr. Burr!”

Don’t I recall Daniel Day Lewis announcing that he was leaving acting to become a costumer after this film? Whatever happened with him after that?
