Out Takes

Hollywood by Ryan Murphy

Arts, TV & Film

This week on Out Takes we celebrated the release of HOLLYWOOD, Ryan Murphy’s much anticipated new miniseries on Netflix. HOLLYWOOD follows an aspiring group of actors and filmmakers trying to make their dreams come true in Hollywood’s golden age.

There’s no doubt that Murphy tips his hat to the golden age. But how much of HOLLYWOOD is true? We’re sorting fact from fiction as we celebrate Murphy’s revisionist and optimistic take. We also looked at some of the films that you should watch if you loved the series: think SCOTTY AND THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD, ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS and FAR FROM HEAVEN.
