  • Summary

  • We're back, with a long sad goodbye to the two talents that made this unit, one of the most personally insulting movies ever foisted upon its actors, 1948's Words and Music. Wait! Don't go! Please? There's still fun and frolic to be had! In this first episode, we get to talk about the life story of the two geniuses that are nominally the subject of the film. That's right, we're talking Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers. Who knows, the boys themselves might show up for a little cameo. That's a promise, actually. Give us a listen. Two full hours of entertainment for your delectation, and an extra ten minutes in the bargain!
