Sunday Aug 27, 2023
"What team? One of Us is a Filmmaker. What team?! One of Us is a Filmmaker!" - Orion and Cassiah would love to live in a world as dramatic as 'High School Musical' (2006), but since we can't, we'll settle for having a chat all about the best Movie Musicals! In this week's episode, we chart a course through the history of Movie Musicals, from the Golden Age of musicals such as 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939) and 'Singing in the Rain' (1952), to the resurgence in the 70s and 80s with hits like 'Grease' (1978) and 'Annie' (1982), to noughties revivals such as 'Hairspray' (2007) and 'Chicago' (2002). In doing so, Orion and Cassiah have to come to a consensus, and decide on the Top 5 Movie Musicals of all time.
