Ep. 60: "A Star is Born," 2018 (Part 1)
Manage episode 267534590 series 1967756
Dearest listeners, this week we are going off the deep end over our more somber picks of the season. It’s a tale as old as time, unfortunately, and a very common story in the showbiz movie genre. Watch the Broadway Babies dive in as they discuss the 2018 remade of “A Star is Born”, starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga! In this first part, Alex and Daisha chat about the foundational aspects of movies like this, just how Hollywood decided to give this story a fourth go-around, and maybe if it's time to let the old ways die.
TW/CW: suicide and extreme drug/alcohol use
Where to watch: HBO Max | Amazon
Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures
Songs:- “Maybe It's Time," performed by Bradley Cooper (written by Jason Isbell)
- "Shallow," by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper (written by Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt)
Released by Interscope Records
Show Notes:
- Bradley Cooper on how hard it was to get ASIB... off the ground
- Easter eggs in ASIB
- “I probably said this earlier but...”:
- The YouTube channel Be Kind Rewind has several interesting video essays about both the movie franchise’s history and both the Best Actress Oscar races for the Judy Garland and Lady Gaga years...and why neither of them won
- Lady Gaga at the Oscars doing "Sound of Music," probably when we all realized (again) that she could sing.
