It's Bob Fosse week at Over/Under Movies as Erik, Oktay and Ryan bring their jazz hands to discuss two examples of the great choreographer and director's legendary work. We dive headfirst into Fosse's brutally honest, fearless, heartfelt and infinitely creative semi-autobiographical masterpiece All That Jazz. From there, we move on to the breezy, fun, yet admittedly overpraised big screen adaptation of Fosse's blockbuster Broadway musical Chicago. As usual, thank you for listening, please send us your comments so we can improve the show and look forward to new episodes when our insightful Portland-based film critics will discuss one overrated and one underrated film within the same genre or style. You can also find us on iTunes if you search for Over/Under Movies. Erik McClanahan is the lead film critic at Oregon Arts Watch, co-host of the Adjust Your Tracking podcast (Also available on iTunes) and a contributor at The Playlist. Ryan Oliver is a film critic for Gotcha Movies and the host of the Gotcha Movies Podcast. Oktay Ege Kozak is a film critic for The Oregon Herald, Beyazperde, DVD Talk and is also a contributor and film critic at The Playlist. A special thank you to Drew Wallner, who designed our new logo.
