Sinopse

We (almost) all saw a movie in an actual theater this week! After a year and a half, we went back to the movies for Lin-Manuel Miranda & Jon M. Chu's musical In The Heights with friend of the show Manish Mathur. We discuss how well Chu and company adapt the stage musical for the silver screen; whether the romances at the heart of the film land; who our favorite members of the ensemble were; and what to make of the colorism controversy surrounding the film following its release last month. In their Full Disclosure segment, Noah, Alex, Justin & Manish also shine their light on a few other films they’ve been watching, including The Drovers Wife; Raya & The Last Dragon; Luca; Quo Vadis Aida?; Bo Burnham: Inside; Four Brothers; and French Exit. Please follow our guest Manish on his podcasts It Pod to Be You and Queer & Now and his written work at Talk Film Society.
