Description

Time marches on as Felix draws a connection between SHOW BUSINESS AT WAR (1943) and the Zendaya & Andrew Garfield interview that just popped up on his TikTok feed. Then we're back to high-pressure war bond sales tactics again in THE ALL-STAR BOND RALLY (1945). We learn the phrase "in the chips", Bing Crosby becomes a non-binary icon, Sinatra sings a spectacular version of "Saturday Night is the Loneliest Night of the Week" and Carol Landis sighs. Meanwhile, another serious discussion of blackface and racism arises from Al Jolson's infamous performance of "My Mammy", the use of the song "Oh, Dem Golden Slippers", the musical 'Yip Yip Yaphank' and a tangent about PT Barnum.  Follow us at @suddenlypod on Instagram and Twitter, or get in touch at suddenlypod@gmail.com

SUDDENLY... a radical re-examination of Frank Sinatra's legacy for a new generation; a historical deep dive into his work, beginning with his 60-year film career. We're using Sinatra to talk about the social context of the 20th century from a trans, queer & progressive perspective. We're not here to cancel but to contemplate the uncancellable. hosted by two Australian transgender millennials, Rabia & Felix. insta & twitter: @suddenlypod, email: suddenlypod@gmail.com
