They re still doing it. and moonfall in which the moon.err.falls. laughs . well, that s the review. thank you forjoining us. laughs . so, the eyes of tammy faye. ok, so this is the story of televangelists jim and tammy faye baker. if you re in america, you d know who they are, but over here, maybe not. they re played byjessica chastain and andrew garfield. the film follows their rise to sort of money spinning televangelism, preaching the prosperity doctrine, which is that god wants you to be successful. god wants his followers to be rich. so, obviously, there is hucksterism involved in this, and, indeed, jim baker did serve time. um, as for tammy faye, she broke ranks with the evangelical right by reaching out to people with hiv/aids in the early 805, which was seen by the evangelical right as completely beyond the pale and, therefore, became something of an lgbtq icon.
