La La Land (2016)

Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film. 

For this episode we’re clambering onto our car tops for 2016’s Damien Chazelle movie musical La La Land. This film about found and lost Hollywood dreams held the 2017 Best Film Academy Award for about thirty seconds, before missing out to the Barry Jenkins-directed Moonlight. That’s show business. And we have our own star joining us this evening to chat about the connection between Mia and Sebastian, it’s podcaster, all-round cinephile and La La Land superfan Amelie Thomas.
