Musical: The Movie: The Podcast

West Side Story (1961) with Deanna Ortiz and Mike Degnan


Listen Later

Comedy people Deanna Ortiz and Mike Degnan join Andy and Steph to take a big one off the board: 1961's OG "West Side Story"! It's a stone cold classic... but is it?? We can't tell, so let's unpack it. Is the way Puerto Ricans are presented in this movie cool? or is it crazy? CRAZY? COOL? GO! We talk about how a man fired from the set goes on to win an Oscar for directing the movie. Deanna's obsession with "Romeo and Juliet" keeps us on task (kind of) for links to Willy Shakes. Mike tells us how the Jerky Boys helped get him into this film when he was but a boy. Steph talks tritones! And Andy's just like, "remember that Gap ad?"
