On this week’s “Cheer and Loathing”, we sell our soul for fame and glory with “Phantom of the Paradise” and “Stage Fright”.
THIS EPISODE: “PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE” AND “STAGE FRIGHT”
It’s time to dream again, for now you find, Cheer and Loathing is inside your mind!
Tune in and turn it up. It’s Musical March on Cheer and Loathing. After last week’s duet of Musical Maneaters, we’re warming up our vocal cords and taking the stage. It’s a double dose of Phantom-inspired cult classics: Phantom of the Paradise (1974) and Stage Fright (2014). First, we make a deal with the devil and Death Records…asking ourselves, “If it’s good enough for Daft Punk, shouldn’t it be good enough for us?” Then we travel to the campiest camp in town for a medley of Meatloaf, metal, and mayhem. Does this duo bring harmony to the podcast, or is it a double dose of discordance? Listen to find out!
