    Here Comes Pod With Clint Culpepper

    Send us Fan Mail Life's not Fair - It's Fabulous! That's the message of the hit stage show Burlesque, based on the 2010 movie of the same name. This week's guest on Here Comes Pod, Clint Culpepper, put the movie together during his phenomenally successful career at Sony Pictures' label Screen Gems, and has brought the movie to the West End and beyond. I asked Clint if he could turn back time and find a way to talk about the genesis of Burlesque, casting Christina Aguilera and Cher in the movie, and the runaway success of the stage version. Luckily he said yes, so please enjoy the ride and welcome to Burlesque!    You can find Here Comes Pod on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon or most other podcast outlets.
