We're back for a second act of Musical Horror! This week we are looking at Tim Burton's adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd.

We recall our first time seeing this movie and what our initial impressions were.

Our shared Tim Burton fandom rears its head again, is this his last truly great film?

We talk about the musical and the story of Sweeney Todd and why Simon thought it was based on a real person.

Is this a good musical? Why were so many songs cut out from the original version?

How well does this stand up as a horror film, and why the hell is everything so bleak??

We get into performances across the board and how the cast absolutely make the film what it is.

We also discuss how the way it was filmed adds to some of the film's darker tone, and how it's a much more gruesome interpretation than the stage show.

All this and lots more in this week's episode. Press that play button and join us on a jaunty trip for a pie and a trim…
