Episode 30 | Hamilton (2020)

It feels pretty cool to be ending 2024 with the 30TH episode of our podcast! Round numbers are so fun. And what better way to close out the year than with a musical? We're talking about 'Hamilton' (2020)! It's a first-time viewing for Jessica and an umpteenth-time viewing for Gabi. 'Hamilton' is the filmed recording of a June 2016 performance of the beloved musical chronicling the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton. The brainchild of composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, it's hard not to get the musical numbers stuck in your head, even after a single viewing.'Hamilton' serves up lots for us to talk about. We touch on the dichotomy of drive vs. desperation that comes up many times with several different characters. We look at the significance of the weaving together of the musical numbers and how that is echoed in the narratives of real life. We discuss the value of the people in our life who antagonize us in healthy ways, and what the modern equivalent of a duel might be. And of course, we aren't shy about picking favorites when it comes to scenes!Thanks for listening! We'd be so grateful if you could leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts.Interested in connecting with Jessica or Gabi?
