Matt, David and Dan talk with special guest Monica Padman (Armchair Expert, Rutherford Falls) about The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Jacques Demy's colorful twist on Hollywood musicals. Turns out, Monica does not like musicals very much! Does she spit venomous insults at our hosts for making her watch such empty-headed frivolity? Listen in and find out! Other topics include the blandness of pretty boys, the ineffable strangeness of the sung-through dialogue, and this movie's true legacy--the last five minutes of the Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark."
