Episode Description

It's December, and we're kicking off the most wonderful time of the year with Musical Month! We Drink & We Watch Things is stepping into the spotlight, and we're starting with the ultimate showbiz story: "Funny Girl (1968)." Grab your drink, practice your best trill, and prepare to talk about one of the most iconic performances in film history.

This week, we are celebrating the powerhouse talent of Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice, the determined and hilarious star who refused to look like everyone else. We’ll be diving into the film’s opulent musical numbers, the irresistible chemistry between Streisand and Omar Sharif, and the bittersweet narrative of Fanny's rise to stardom and her complicated relationship with Nick Arnstein. It’s a story about ambition, self-acceptance, and the universal heartbreak of loving someone who isn't good for you.

If you love show-stopping vocals, classic Hollywood glamour, or just want to appreciate a film that remains a benchmark for cinematic musicals, then this is the perfect overture for the month. We're blending our adoration for Babs with our usual casual conversation, making this a spectacular start to our Musical Month celebration. Hello, gorgeous!
