	Description:		It's a 'Joe pick' for the second week of our Gay Icons & Anniversaries theme as the boys discuss Jonathan Glazer's modern classic Birth (2004). Starring Nicole Kidman as a woman grieving her dead husband, Birth was a lightning rod for controversy, but it's so much more than its bathtub scene and reincarnation plot. Plus: why Bright's casting prompted a complete script rewrite, ties to Rosemary's Baby, a superb Anne Heche, and the two minute long take that should have earned Kidman an Oscar nom. This is a gay masterpiece, people! References: > "Revisiting Jonathan Glazer’s Birth, 20 years on." Dazed > Stephen Gillespie. Revenants of Memory: An Analysis of Glazer’s Birth.
