Listen "Moulin Rouge!"
Episode Synopsis
This is a story about love. Evenmoreso, this is a story about 4 people who met at a movie theater, and haven't stopped talking movies ever since. You know them from our Oscars post show every year, and we are excited to have them on the show to talk about one of their favorite films of all time - Moulin Rouge! The landscape of the Hollywood musical has gone through its seasons, from being able to print money, to now feeling like a massive swing. No one took a bigger swing than Baz Luhrmann in 2001 when he envisioned a juke box musical set in 1899 blending bohemian values with can-can dancers, Aussies a plenty, and pop music. Tune in as we discuss what made this such a smash hit, such a visionary pursuit, and perhaps what didn't make this a Best Picture winner (you know we had to sneak in a little Oscars talk).
