In honor of West Side Story (which we were not able to see), Joes take time out of their mad dash to see the best films of the year to discuss the year in musicals! 2021 featured an exciting and diverse array of movie musicals and we dive into them all by discussing the best and worst the year had to offer. Below is a list of our categories and our selections, but make sure to tune in to hear the whys and the hows!
Don’t forget to follow the show @CinemaJoes on Twitter and follow our hosts around the web at the following places!
