For this episode we are joined by Jo Durrant, creator of the amazing podcast Jo Durrant’s Beautiful Universe (and I am not just saying that because we are frequent guests on it).
Jo’s podcast deals mainly with all things science. However, those of you that listen to Jo know also she is a keen musical watcher. We thought it would be great to have Jo as a guest and talk about her favourite top ten musicals. Jo agreed, and now we have our Summer special – a fun show that’s a little different for us. It even got Graham singing along!
If you know what Jo’s fantastic musical selections are, you’ll have to give the podcast a listen. To help, here are a few advance clues as to some of the films included
· A film Jeff really hates (and one that has been discussed on Jo’s podcast, so has some science attached to it).
· One that has never gone out of fashion or favour since its release in the 1970’s
· A remake that proves a musical can raise important social points
· Includes a film which again Jeff didn’t like (does he like any) but conceded he might be wrong and agreed to rewatch (check out the skies for the second coming).
Do you agree with Jo’s choices? Please let us know.
Enjoy and see you At The Flicks
