Can-can-can you believe it’s time for another episode of Because You Watched…?

This week, we return to the most musical genre to ever be put to film: the musical! Joined once again by returning guest Katie Paterson, Charlie and Francesco talk the maximalist jukebox musical, Moulin Rouge (dir. Baz Luhrman, 2001).

After that, they discuss the camp rock opera with a character called Beef, Phantom of the Paradise (dir. Brian De Palma, 1974), romantic musical tragedy Annette (dir. Leos Carax, 2021), and end on the cinematic love letter to a Broadway legend, Tick, Tick… Boom! (dir. Lin-Manuel Miranda, 2021).

Spectacular spectacular!
