Scott Kurland loves musicals. Lillian "Lilz" Martin does NOT love musicals. Thus Scott has made it his goal to expose Lilz to movie musicals in an effort to find ones that connect with her. Sometimes it works. (Mostly not.) Share in their mutual frustration on Hell Is A Musical, available wherever podcasts can be found.

051 - Gigi ("NO. *Audible Finger Wagging* ") (w/ Patrick S. Barry)
Gigi is a 1958 movie musical based on a 1944 French novella, directed by Vincente Minnelli and featuring a screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner. The film starred Leslie Caron, Louis Jordan, and Maurice Chevalier, and followed the story of a bored French playboy Gaston attempting to reignite a spark in his life, and finding it in a young friend of the family, the titular Gigi. (Who appears in much less of the film than Gaston does.) The film was a major Academy Award winner in 1958, setting a record for sweeping 9 different Oscars, (A record that would be unbroken until 2003 when Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King won 11.) and though Gigi is well-regarded by cinema historians, it has since developed a sour reputation for its themes of grooming and power imbalance.
On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott are in way over their heads watching Gigi with return guest Patrick S. Barry. Join the trio as they are thoroughly skeeved out by themes and attitudes that have aged like milk, and are equally amused and disgusted by the antics of Maurice Chevalier, the most French human being to have ever walked this Earth. ...with Lilz and Scott!
