#49 - A Star Is Born


Listen Later

'A Star Is Born' has officially arrived, and Jenna and Chris still can't handle all of the feelings they have about it. Listen as they talk about remakes, dogs, and why they love that they can't get "Shallow" out of their heads.

How does this movie move beyond - but also play into - the tropes around a movie musical? Are the film's negative reviews actually constructive criticism, or just cynical? And what do we love about Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's performances? Listen to find out.
