This episode is dedicated to legendary director Ivan Reitman (1946-2022).
We gave you a Big Fish last week, now we’re giving you something else entirely: the old Razzle Dazzle. That’s right, it’s the 2002 Oscar-winning Best Picture, Chicago! Partly because our own Riley was in a local production (be sure to hear her stories about that), partly because of John C. Reilly (who was nominated for an Oscar for playing Amos!), and partly because it’s really, really good and the songs all slap… and all that jazz!
And don’t forget to check out Rock of Ages’ episode on Chicago as well! (It was gonna be uploaded simultaneously alongside this one, but then we hit a roadblock. Oh well.)
