The Broadway Hit Musical gets a divisive adaptation from Chris Columbus (Harry Potter & Home Alone). Greg Alba and Andrew Gordon (CinePals) react to the beloved musical movie RENT, diving into the unforgettable story, iconic songs, and powerful performances that defined a generation. Based on Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking Broadway musical, RENT follows a year in the lives of struggling artists in New York’s East Village during the Late 80's crisis. The film stars Anthony Rapp (Adventures in Babysitting, Star Trek: Discovery) as Mark Cohen, Rosario Dawson (Daredevil, The Mandalorian Ahsoka) as Mimi Marquez, Adam Pascal (School of Rock, Cold Case) as Roger Davis, Jesse L. Martin (The Flash, Law & Order) as Tom Collins, Idina Menzel (Frozen, Wicked) as Maureen Johnson, Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Flawless) as Angel Dumott Schunard, Tracie Thoms (Cold Case, The Devil Wears Prada) as Joanne Jefferson, and Taye Diggs (Private Practice, The Best Man) as Benjamin Coffin III. We go deep into all the songs from the most popular to the underrated gems: "Seasons of Love," "La Vie Bohème," "Take Me or Leave Me," "Out Tonight," "One Song Glory," "Light My Candle," "Today 4 U," "Without You," "I'll Cover You," "Rent," "Santa Fe," "Another Day," "Goodbye Love," "What You Own," "Over the Moon," and "Your Eyes." From standout performances to emotional gut-punches, Greg and Andrew explore the cultural legacy of RENT.
