[Episode 224: Starcrash: LIVE!]

I laughed very hard at the suggestion that the director just read the book! Haha. What an amazing coincidence that he used the same slow-mo spaceship models, and a light saber!?! Actually the light saber is such a rip off that maybe it was a coincidence. wtf

I am interested in this, too! Just today I finished the backlog of HDTGM, I need new podcasts.

I've been a lifelong musical fan. I've seen this show live before when I was very young, maybe 10 or 11 (I'm 35 now). First time I've seen the movie. Really hated it. It was just so... community theater as a movie. There's something about the twirling that really erases any and all intimidating factors of either of these gangs. It was a mediocre re-imagining of Romeo and Juliet, and honestly I'd take Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet over this movie any day of the week. If we need to replace it with a musical, I'd take Chicago over this one even. Really hated this movie, and I was shocked that I did. I thought this would be one of my favorites on the list. 

I agree with everything you said here! Especially the community theater part. Tony’s first song makes me cringe. I

thought I would be singing along and loving this movie. But both the leads are drips. Every minute Rita Moreno was not on screen, I was bored. I don’t think I’ll finish it.
