Spectacular! Spectacular! A Sinister Selection? It's in the vernacular! Anime Was (Not) A Mistake pulls back the red curtain and tunes the orchestra to present a 40th sinister film celebration! With plenty of returning actors and a director to this humble podcast we explore the themes of freedom, beauty, truth, and love with Baz Luhrmann's seminal Moulin Rouge! (2001). In this Parisian, jukebox musical, toy will encounter decadence, tropes, and many compilations that would make the cast of Glee blush. When the bright eyed Christian (Ewan McGregor) wanders into the bordello of sin that is the Moulin Rouge and falls in love with the star act, The Sparkling Diamond, Satine (Nicole Kidman) a passionate, maddening, romance begins. You will certainly feel as if you are on an absinthe trip...singing moon included. But in the end should someone die? Perhaps it will be one of your co-hosts? Why are we watching this? Simply, because we can can-can!
