Note sull'episodio
Thirteen years before Christian Bale prowled the alleys of Gotham City looking for villains to pummel, he took to the cobbled streets of old Manhattan to sing and dance his way into audiences’ hearts. All topics are on the table as your hosts discuss Disney’s 1992 movie musical, Newsies. Talking points include the Tony award-winning Broadway musical, the film’s passionate fandom, director Kenny Ortega’s resemblance to a certain Twin Peaks villain, questionable New York accents, and so much more. Will David be able to keep the Newsies candle boinin’ and win over musical-averse Justin with this plucky underdog story? Tune in to find out!
