Ep. 252: ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Film Review w/ Geoff Keith & Ian Gulbransen The E & G Podcast

    • TV & Film

Thursday, February 14, 2019
 
On this episode, we're chatting about Queen & their legendary lead singer Freddie Mercury while discussing whether the biopic #BohemianRhapsody (which is an Oscar front-runner) ultimately fell short. There's no argument that Rami Malek delivered an epic performance, but was the band's preference to "protect their legacy" to the detriment of viewers seeing more of the #FreddieMercury life story? We disagreed on the answer during this podcast, which led to a fun conversation that also included debate about the rock vs. disco scene in the 70s, fate & destiny in everyday people's lives, what made Sacha Baron Cohen walk away from the film prior to Rami Malek landing the role of a lifetime, the talent it takes to be a performer (even if you're blessed with a great singing voice) & much more! So, if you could possess any one talent or ability, what would YOU choose? Shouts to Chelsea Handler. #SexyGPS #ShootYourShot #DontStopMeNow
