Actions speak louder than words for Hayden Koutras & Wesley Giffen, and this week they’re talking Lin Manuel Miranda’s directorial debut ‘Tick, Tick… Boom!’, starring Andrew Garfield.
They kick off the episode chatting Wesley’s impending trip to New York City, his anticipation for his first trip to Broadway, and his most recent play that just wrapped up earlier this week, while Hayden listens with jealousy.
They then get into the movie of the week and discuss Andrew Garfield’s mesmerizing performance as the late Jonathan Larson, dissect some of the many Easter eggs and how they pay tribute to the history of Broadway musicians, which songs are our favourites and least favourites, the tragedy of Jonathan Larson’s tragically short career, why people struggling with their direction in life will find so much relatability and inspiration in this film, and much more.
They end off the episode creating a list of their personal Top 5 Musicals along with honourable mentions.
