In The Heights: Get Me Away From Realism
Explicit

Bitch, Why? by Neeta Thadani & Gaia Malin

Episode notes

This week we covered the new film adaptation of Lin Manuel Miranda’s superior musical In The Heights. Gaia gives us some sweet Sour Patch Kids bag opening ASMR, Neeta cries about community and being from an immigrant family, and we are almost forced to give Lin Manuel Miranda his flowers for this one. Gaia also outs themselves as someone who still doesn’t know NYC geography even though they’ve lived in New York for three years. We talk about theater elitism, Shakespeare comparisons, Bollywood musicals, and, of course, we get into the colorism controversy.

Be sure to leave us a review and email us at b.tchwhy@gmail.com if you have a topic you want us to cover (or just to say hi)! We’ll read them on the pod!
