A Movie Review and Modification Podcast

    West Side Story (1961) Review

    West Side Story (1961) Review

    In a modern retailing of Shakespeare's classic Romeo & Juliet, star crossed lovers Tony & Maria are on opposite sides of rival gangs The Jets & Sharks. Can love at first sight solve the socio-economical divide of these two complex groups, or will their improbable bind cause further tensions between the migrants just trying to find a new life and those just trying to hold onto what little they have after being abandoned by a system indifferent to their situation.

His unique perspective gives life and color to the residents who experienced the peace and inevitable destruction the gangs brought, as well as the rich history that keeps the cycle in motion. While some want to control what most wish to escape, it’s clear there is truly only one way out.

Smooth as Jazz

This is what a podcast should be. Smooth and refined with good segment breaks and transitions that help build good conversations. I could listen to the gruff but lovable Santana read the telephone book. Would listen to again.

Love the modifications

Wasn’t sure what “reviews and modifications “ meant, but glad I checked it out. Very different from other review podcasts I’ve listened to, glad to have found it! Very fun and creative.

It’s the creativity, for me.

You can absolutely tell they love what they do, the show is a perfect mix of fact, opinion & creativity. The way they’ve organized and defined their segments makes it easy to follow but it still feels natural like overhearing a conversation between friends.
