Listen to the last episode:
(Encore presentation) The film adaptation of In The Heights from Lin-Manuel Miranda is a joyous spectacle of singing, dancing, and asserting your dignity in small ways.
Topics discussed:
- There are multiple elements of hip-hop culture present in the film - and the rapping is on point.
- Several Latin cultures are represented, showing the diversity of Washington Heights.
- The vocal talent is top notch and the dancing and choreography sizzle.
- The film weaves in serious elements that give the light and bright storytelling some drama and weight.
- There are multiple story lines, all tied towards a common theme of realizing dreams.
