The Lens is now The Take-Up, a new place to gather when the film is over. The format is still the same, only a little refocused. Each episode, film critics Joshua Ray and Andrew Wyatt review new releases, talk pop culture, play absurd film trivia games, and process one film in their special programs. Special guests join with their own selections for series like Queer ‘90s, Cannes Winners, Nora/Nancy, and more!

MFMY: 1980 and The Shining (with Katharine Coldiron)
Things get hot in the cold as The Take-Up goes a little stir crazy with Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. It's Joshua's pick for the new My Favorite Movie Year series, and guest Katharine Coldiron joins to discuss the horror classic and the totally un-horrific, great movie year that is 1980 (and 30-plus films that prove it so).
First, Late Night with the Devil, Stopmotion, Riddle of Fire, and, sure, Ghostbusters: Kicking Ice Edition are Now Showing. Finally, they all have One More Thing with Waxahatchee, Jean Arthur, and Stephen King.
On the next episode, Feast Magazine Managing Editor Shannon Weber returns to take-up her pick, Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides, for a 1999 edition of the podcast.
