S2 Ep57: Pop Screen: Chicago (with Cliff Barnes)

Pop Screen's Oscar month continues with one of the 21st century's biggest collectors of little bald gold men - Rob Marshall's Chicago. Among its twelve nominations and six wins was a Best Supporting Actress nomination for 1990s hip-hop stalwart Queen Latifah, who gets a solo number crammed with innuendo, but she was beaten to the win by her own cast-mate Catherine Zeta-Jones.

This week, Cliff from the Devil Times Five horror podcast joins us again to talk about his uncharacteristic love for this 1920s true-crime-inspired musical extravaganza. Topics covered include: which classic Doctor Who story does the Cell Block Tango remind Graham of? Which line in Cell Block Tango does Cliff think is a bit unfortunate? And other topics that don't relate to the Cell Block Tango, including a mini-sequel to this very episode we plan to release soon for Patreon backers...

...and if you want to know what that's all about, here's our Patreon, where you can also get a monthly bonus episode of this very show, as well as unrestricted access to our other movie podcast Directors Uncut, Graham's twice-weekly Doctor Who reviews, and more.
