It’s a new season and a new series as we head to the 80’s this time instead of the 90’s and catch up on a number of movies we need to discuss. This week, we’re talking about a truly groundbreaking, influential film. It’s one thing to say that, it’s another to watch spiritual (and literal) sequels or remakes get made of this story, over and over again. And yet this 1980 classic is rough, raw, but still very engaging, partially because of its novelty. No, it’s not great, and its 2009 remake is maybe one of the worst movies we’ve watched for this show. Yet it’s almost a requirement to see this movie about the pressure of young creatives searching for their golden ticket. Settle in and make sure your audition is ready as we talk about Fame this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
