This week we discuss our first musical, the 2002 Best Picture Winner CHICAGO. We dig deep to figure out what distinguishes a movie as a "musical", and we dive deep to discuss this 1920s style modern production. Amidst the conversation we discuss why it might be that musicals have had such a strong history at the oscars, while comedies are regularly overlooked. No stone is left unturned in the windy city this week!

Next week is The Broadway Melody 1929 , paired with a heated Scorsese debate! We call it "Broadway Melody: The Gangs of Goodfellas Defense" !
