Episode description

CW: Opinions about Phantom of the Opera that aren't all negative, and references to Batman and Robin This time, the Tiemstra Bros. finally roll up their sleeves and get into the muck with this titan of Broadway and its confusing adaptation by Joel Schumacher: The Phantom of the Highlands (I know, Gerard Butler is from the Lowlands, but Phantom of the Lowlands Sounds like a porno name). Is it an underrated classic, or a lumbering mess? Is giving a massively-ego'd man with questionable sense in quality full creative control ever a good idea? Laboriously edited by Matthew Tiemstra (@ClockworkPlay) Surgically produced by Robert Tiemstra (@The_Timestar) Hosted by both of them. Bibliography: Lindsay Ellis' video essay on the Phantom of the Opera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m5I_5Vnh6A
