WHAM! (2023)

Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film. 

In this episode, we’re breaking your mama’s heart with 2023’s documentary film WHAM! directed by Chris Smith. This movie marks the 40th anniversary of the release of Wham’s debut album Fantastic and centres around the relationship between Andrew Ridgeley and George Michael: how they came to be pals, how they flourished together as a creative partnership and how - in the space of just a few years - they became the ultimate pop embracing, sportswear-clad, sunshine-fuelled global phenomenon. Club Tropicana drinks are free, but can you put a price on true friendship?

Recorded in July 2023. 

Produced by Catrin Lowe and Rich Nelson
