Settle in to 1960’s Baltimore, as for the first time, Heather shows Dan a movie for the podcast. How does 2007’s musical version of Hairspray hold up? We talk about the movie’s music, motifs, and style, and the history of this adaptation of a stage musical adaptation of a John Waters original film. What did Dan think about the songs? The stacked cast including James Marsden, Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer, and…John Travolta in drag doing a muppet voice? Did the movie hold up? You’ll have to listen to find out!
