“The streets were made of music”.
Even if you aren’t a Broadway nerd, you probably have at least heard of the hit musical “Hamilton” by now. But long before Hamilton became the musical juggernaut that it is, a young Lin Manuel Miranda made his first masterpiece back in 2008 that also so happened to win Best Musical. Blending a myriad of different styles of music from hip hop to Latin influenced to soul (etc.) while also telling a moving story about community and family made adapting this stage musical to the big screen a no brainer. So join Tuong and Huge Broadway Nerd/Disney Dummies Laura Gordon as they sing and dance their way through talking about 2021’s In the Heights!

Walking the red carpet one last time.
It’s hard to believe that we have been ranking movies (almost) every year since our very first episode of this podcast back in 2017. In fact the whole conceit of this show came from first wanting to talk about our love of movies which eventually spun out to talking about all sorts of random topics. So it’s very fitting that in our final year of Ranked we get to go back to where it all began and chat about the cinematic rollercoaster that we went through in 2024. So join Tuong La, Alyssa Wooldridge, Taylor Fleming, and Laura Gordon as they come out of the Criterion Closet one last time to rank Top 5 Movies of 2024.
