In our first all-musical episode (don't look at us like that, Broadway Melody doesn't count), Claire, Erin, and Dan dissect two musical movies from famous teams to see which aged worse. First, our Oscar winner, Lerner and Lowe bring us the story of a Parisian womanizer realizing he might have feelings for the teenage girl he's watched grow up... and be trained as a courtesan by her relatives... in the beautiful but deeply troubling Gigi. Then the people's champion, Rogers and Hammerstein's South Pacific, a tale of love, war, and coming to grips with your own unconscious racial biases, with some... colourful choices in cinematography. Colourful, they said significantly. Misogyny vs Racism as the 50s lurch to their conclusion! Find out who came out on top!
