Description

  City of stars...sry I can't see you in this smog. HERE IT IS, FOLKS: the final episode in this DOOZY of a season! We have spent the last few months going through defining movies of each decade, and we are finally to the 2010s. In this episode, Alex and Daisha examine the cinematic and musical tools used from the popular movie musicals of decades past. They also talk about the plot and how some of the holes in the story took away from beauty of the film. After this giant episode, we want to turn the mic to our listeners: what did you think about the progression of the movie musical through the decades? What do y'all think the future of movie musicals entails? We had so much fun with this season, what do y'all think our next season should be?  Film: DVD/Blu-Ray | iTunes | Amazon Prime | Google Play Soundtrack: iTunes | Amazon Prime | Spotify Distributed by Lionsgate Pictures.

Show Notes And Best Picture goes to … “La La Land?!” Emma Stone’s own reaction to the mix-up debacle. Here’s your guide to the backlash of “La La Land” if you’re feeling in the mood. SNL’s La La Land interrogation… awwww, Moonlight, it’s so important. The movie’s choreographer Mandy Moore breaks down the opening freeway scene’s choreography for Vanity Fair. Jimmy Fowlie’s “So Long, Boulder City!” featuring a long-ass costume change and set change and a climactic fake-dance duet breakdown. This channel explains some of the specific movie-musical references that we might have missed from the film — and the dream dance sequence, in particular.
