Ep 52 - The Producers w/ Harmony Colangelo

Part 2 of The Wives Colangelo! This week were joined by Harmony Colangelo to talk about THE PRODUCERS (2005) – but of course the conversation covers the original 1968 film as well. Nathan Lane is Americas favorite Theatre Gay! Raphael isnt sure how well the film musical adapted the stage musical – which he admits to never have seeing. Hmm. So why did people in general dislike the film musical so much? Oh wait, probably homophobia. Is Will Ferrell is kinda the perfect film Nazi?? The Family Martinez seems to like the ‘68 version more, while Harmony leans ‘05. One’s about the idea of Broadway while the other is, well, actually Broadway. Would the fear of FOMO get you to buy a ticket to see “Springtime For Hitler?” The “depiction as endorsement” discourse gets a multigenerational take here. And we cast a far too handsome third version of the film!
