Evita
The Hills are Alive
•
1h 49m
The tea is spilled as Alex & Kelsey discuss feuds, beef, and the complicated political history of 1996’s Evita. In what the pod might consider their best work, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice delved into South American history to explore a deeply beloved, yet deeply flawed heroine in Eva Perón. Not only was Eva herself polarizing, but so was Madonna’s casting in the titular role. For better or worse (and no matter what Patti Lupone might think on the matter), A & K really loved this adaptation, and it shows in this lively, expansive, and enthralling episode.

The Wiz
Kelsey & Alex visit an often terrifying version of Oz in 1978’s box office dud and eventual cult classic The Wiz. Diana Ross led a seemingly relentless campaign to secure the film’s lead role (the unofficial fictionalization of which we discussed in our Dreamgirls episode), and her age being ...

Funny Girl
Next on their journey through the decades, Alex and Kelsey examine Barbra Streisand’s breakout performance in 1968’s Funny Girl. For the first time ever, neither of our hosts had seen this film before, so their wide-eyed enthusiasm — especially concerning the dreamy Omar Sharif — is 100% genuine....
