Musical Month takes a sharp, provocative turn this week on @wedrinkandwewatchthings as we enter the smoky, seedy world of 1931 Berlin in Bob Fosse’s masterpiece, "Cabaret (1972)." This isn't your typical "jazz hands" musical; it’s a brilliant, disturbing look at a world partying on the edge of a cliff. Grab a stiff drink - maybe a Prairie Oyster - and get ready for a discussion about "divine decadence" in the shadow of a gathering storm.

This week, we are immersing ourselves in the legendary performance of Liza Minnelli as the irrepressible Sally Bowles and Joel Grey’s haunting, omniscient Emcee. We’ll be examining Fosse’s revolutionary direction, where the musical numbers stay strictly on the stage of the Kit Kat Klub, acting as a twisted mirror to the grim political reality unfolding outside. We talk through the film’s exploration of sexual ambiguity, the chilling "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" sequence, and the heartbreaking realization that while life is a cabaret for some, the real world is becoming a nightmare. It’s a conversation about escapism, denial, and how easily a society can lose its way when it's too busy looking at the stage.

If you appreciate a musical with a razor-sharp edge, iconic choreography, and themes that feel uncomfortably relevant today, this is an episode you can't miss. We're blending our awe for the film’s gritty style with our usual casual banter, making this a truly unforgettable stop on our Musical Month tour. Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!

Musical Month continues this week on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and we are flying straight to Oz for the grand cinematic conclusion to the beloved story of Glinda and Elphaba: "Wicked: For Good." We're so excited to see how this final chapter lands, addressing the legacy, friendship, and ultimate fates of the characters we've come to love (and sometimes fear). Grab your pink and green drinks, because we're ready to see how this story ends!

This week, we are exploring the complex relationship between Glinda the Good and Elphaba the Wicked, diving into the themes of perspective, history, and how two very different people change each other "for good." We’ll be analyzing the performances, the dazzling visual style, and, crucially, how this second film wraps up the narrative threads and emotional weight established in the first installment. Does it deliver the spectacular, satisfying conclusion that fans have waited years for? We've got thoughts!
