When Will The Eyes Of Tammy Faye Be Streaming
Alright, let's talk about some serious glitter, some serious lashes, and a whole lotta love: specifically, when you can finally snuggle up on your couch and watch The Eyes of Tammy Faye without renting it!
For those of you living under a rock devoid of all things fabulous, this movie tells the (mostly) true story of Tammy Faye Bakker. She was one half of the PTL (Praise The Lord) Club empire, a televangelist sensation alongside her husband, Jim Bakker.
So, Where Can I Watch This Gospel Goodness?
The burning question, right? It's not quite as simple as "poof! It's on Netflix!" But don't fret, we’ve got options for you.
Must Read
First, keep an eye on Hulu. Since Searchlight Pictures produced the film (owned by Disney), it's a pretty safe bet it will land on Hulu eventually. Think of it like a homecoming for a lot of Disney-owned content.
Timing is Everything (Sort Of)
Okay, let's manage expectations. Movie release windows are weird and can be longer than a church service during a particularly fire-and-brimstone sermon.
Generally, you can expect a theatrical release to hit streaming services anywhere from 45 to 90 days after it leaves most theaters. Since "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" had its theatrical run, it's been a waiting game.
However, it has been available to rent or buy on demand from services like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube, but sometimes you just need to stream it as part of a subscription, right?
Why All the Fuss About Tammy Faye?
Besides the mountains of mascara? Tammy Faye was... complicated. She was extravagant, unapologetically herself, and surprisingly progressive for a televangelist.
She openly embraced the LGBTQ+ community at a time when many religious figures were doing the exact opposite. That alone makes her story fascinating and worth watching.
"I think it's terrible when people get so caught up in things that they don't realize the love of God is for everybody. " - Tammy Faye Bakker.
The movie doesn't shy away from the scandals surrounding the Bakkers and their financial misdeeds, but it also humanizes Tammy Faye, showing her vulnerability and genuine desire to spread love.
What to Expect (Besides Amazing Makeup)
Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions! From the giddy heights of PTL's success to the devastating lows of scandal and disgrace, it's a wild ride.
Jessica Chastain completely transforms herself into Tammy Faye, and her performance is truly remarkable. She captures Tammy Faye's unique voice, mannerisms, and her unwavering optimism, even in the face of adversity.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question everything you thought you knew about televangelism. And you might even find yourself humming a gospel tune or two.
The Waiting Game (and Glitter Dreams)
