Ep. 70: Can-Can (1960) or ‘Pod and Let Pod, Cast and Let Cast’

Zach welcomes back filmmaker and film lover Matt Willocks (The Colorado Batcave) for a trip through the Montmartre district of Paris to witness a forbidden dance as they unpack the spectacle and melody around Walter Lang’s 1960 movie musical, ‘Can-Can’.

Pull up a chair inside the Bal du Paradis and settle in as the boys talk about the long development process the film underwent, extrapolate the power and pull Frank Sinatra had at the time of its making, become stunned by how the film was the center of a international diplomacy, laugh and sing along through a detailed plot break down, and ponder upon the ways films like ‘Can-Can’ carry on trends we see to this very day.

PLUS: Plug your ears folks, Zach sings in this episode.
