Two Pods Combine for West Side Stories!

Welcome, listeners, to the Academy Vs Audience/Recovered crossover! Dan, Erin, and Claire welcome Dan's Recovered co-host Keith Kollee to dig into 1961's Joint Champion, West Side Story, the only movie whose every film remake is an Oscar contender. The gang digs into this story of rival gangs, racial tensions, corrupt cops, amazing progressive trans representation, and if there's time, the star-crossed lovers at the center of this Romeo and Juliet riff*.  The songs, the dance fights, the weird shifts to the song order, and more in Part One of our West Side Stories Deep Dive. Check it out now!
