1. Musicals on Film: Wicked, Singin’ in the Rain, Dancer in the Dark

For our debut episode, we're diving into the world of movie musicals, dissecting three films that approach the genre in wildly different ways.

How do these films use music to tell their stories? Where do they succeed... or stumble? Tune in as we summarize, analyze, and debate our picks for this week!
