Episode notes
With one extremely emotive stroke of the metaphorical podcast baton, we complete the magnum opus that is Best Picture Oscar Nominees 2023! Is Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein too big to fit on the small screens at Netflix? Find out in our MAESTRO discussion, for which we’re joined by Vanity Fair‘s chief critic, Richard Lawson. Then, a fun movie quiz about composer biopics (well, it’s fun for some of us!).
