Academy Vs Audience

1951: Dancing, Disciples, Doofuses (feat. Munsi Parker-Munroe)


Listen Later

Erin, Claire, Dan, and returning guest Munsi Parker-Munroe unpack some terrible leading men as the Oscars get musical while the audience goes to Sunday School. First, Gene Kelley brings us the songs of the Gershwins, some incredible dance numbers, and a romance that set gender relations back fifty years in An American in Paris. Does the dancing defy the duncery? We discuss, then jump back to the new testament where Quo Vadis dares to ask "How much less likeable can our male leads get," and "How much can a movie be about Jesus without actually showing Jesus?" The answer to both? Surprisingly high. Join us for the ride!
