In this episode, we continue our time wrapping up the year with some focus on Musicals. Jason’s pick leads us to our first go at a Brian De Palma film as we check our Phantom of the Paradise from 1974. Between digging in with all the many and varied music references amid genre spanning songs, we also get a bit into how the film may or may not have been overshadowed by a little movie called the Rocky Horror Picture Show. But before all that, Michael bridges the gap between our current topic and some recent discussion on zombie flicks by checking out an extra musical on his own. And so much more!
