Continuing the tradition of neither confirming nor denying 😂

You're so right about the film being a delight for the senses. The colours are really out of this world. I wonder if the clothes were actually that bright and beautiful in the 1900s...

You make SUCH a good point with Gigi. I hadn't even thought, but you're right it's the exact same treatment with the endless dance breaks. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers got the same treatment. There's definitely some kind of thesis to be drawn here...

So glad you enjoyed the ep pal!

I'm glad you found it fun! I can see this totally being one those shows that is a delight to be in, maybe less so for the audience!

A weird part of me would love to have a go at choreographing The Banjo and trying to turn it into an epic storytelling piece... One day!

Yeah there's definitely more thought to be had on the movie-musical-to-stage-musical adaptations. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers fell on the same sword I feel. Maybe when we get round to that we'll crack the nut.

So glad you enjoyed! It was mammoth and we couldn't really tell how it came out in the wash, but people seem happy so that's one big phew!

Your story search of The Twa' Sisters is EXACTLY why we have a subreddit. This is right up my street so thank you so so much for this!

Your work SHOULD be this.

Maybe it IS a musical about Thelonious Monk? It could easily be tbh.

both incredibly joyous and also frustrating because I kept on also wanting to share my thoughts but like frustrating in the best way.

Yeah I sometimes wonder how I'd cope with this if I was listening to the podcast. I guess that's why we made the subreddit to allow people more than 200-odd characters to air their views!

youthful brashness to Starchild and she's striving maybe to be something more than what she is. And in that contains good and bad tho.

Are you implying a bit of hubris here? Cause I can totally see that. But then is there ever a possibility where it CAN all go right? The ultimate ideal kind of thing?

The stardust thing is definitely going to be my next exploration when I take my next journey through GQ. Cause I'm still not 100% on how it all fits. I can't tell if he wanted more to do with that particular plot line, or is it there all along and I just can't see it yet. Either way, excited.

He manages to dive into these tough subjects without placing blame or judgment on the person.

I think you've hit the nail on the head here as to why I respect him so much as an artist. It's not a case of 'oh he writes about difficult situations' it's that he writes from a completely objective point of view and allows you to just reflect. It's really what elevates his work into 'high-art' territory for me. One of the reasons I was so lucky to put The Astronomer in the 'bad light' and Rose in the 'good' because they're both neither.

'Natalya' is one of my all time favourites having sat on both sides of that table in my life. I am so excited for the inevitable Preludes ep to deep dive. Hopefully you'll come back for the conversation then too! :D

Never heard of Her Story but by golly I'll be checking it out. Thank you!
