Happy Thanksgiving, one and all!
Dan and Brian celebrate the day with Brian’s wholesome holiday tradition of watching Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd film. Join as they discuss their history with the story, attending stage musicals, the pros and cons of sung-through musicals, Burton’s approach to the tonally complicated story, the joys of the all-time goon, the impacts of some adaptation choices, the bloody finale, and — lastly — why Brian sees it as the ultimate Thanksgiving film.
