  • Chicago (2002)
    Apr 26 2025

    To quote Lady Gaga during her House of Gucci press rounds: "We don't believe in the glorification of murder. We do believe in the empowerment of women." That's right, passengers! In this episode, we're covering the 2002 major motion picture musical, Chicago! (Cue jazz hands.) Topics include: embarrassing/life-changing movie theater experiences, the iconic 2003 Academy Awards' Best Actress lineup, which Cellblock Tango murderess is our favorite, Kiki and Emily's baja blast misadventure in Ohio, and an indulgent pop girlie tangent. You'd be lying if you told us that the sound of someone chewing has never made you want to choose violence.
