Gimme Three - A Series For Cinephiles
11 - Movie Musicals pt. 3 (feat. Max Sopkin)
Prepare to deep dive into the heart of these timeless classics as Nick, Bella, and Max sing praises to the physical prowess of Carol Burnett’s remarkable performance as Miss Hannigan in Annie (1982), and pay homage to the incomparable Ellen Greene, who was truly born to play the role of Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors (1986).
But it’s not just about these brilliant performances; these two 80s gems also delve into fascinating themes about the darker side of humanity: capitalism and human greed. Max provides some insightful commentary for us on the cultural and socio-political context of the time period these two musicals originated from, and how they evolved into the film adaptations they are today.
Don’t miss out on this episode, celebrating the magic of movies and musical theater! Bella and Max introduce Annie, a childhood classic, to Nick. While Max and Nick share their beloved film, Little Shop of Horrors, with Bella. The perfect cinematic exchange!
