Travel back to 1930s Berlin with Sophia and Nick to revisit and discuss Bob Fosse’s Oscar-winning ‘Cabaret.’ First, they share their experiences seeing the current West End revival in the high security, burlesque Kit Kat Club. Then, a deep analysis of Fosse’s film adaptation, including an extended conversation on Liza Minnelli’s desperate and refined portrayal of Sally Bowles, to celebrate its 50th anniversary (14:42). Lastly, they talk about its performance at the Oscars, including the special record it still holds. Now that they’ve covered episodes on the biggest two movies of 1972- this and ‘The Godfather’- how they feel about its nominations and wins?
