Mousterpiece Melodies -- Episode 14: Dick Tracy

Stick 'em up! OK, but seriously, we hope you're in a mood to head back to a simpler, and yet more dangerous, time in popular culture, back when mobsters and cops fought it out in the streets of the big city. In this episode of Mousterpiece Melodies, Scott and Josh are talking about the songs of the 1990 film Dick Tracy, directed by and starring Warren Beatty as the eponymous lawman. Your hosts are joined by another Scott, Scott Mendelson of Puck News and The Outside Scoop. Because yes, in case you forgot, there are a handful of Stephen Sondheim songs written specifically for this movie, many of which are performed by Madonna at the height of her fame. Does the music hold up? Should Beatty have cast someone else as the eponymous detective? Does (co-host) Scott have a slightly hard time watching one of this film's many, many, many cast members? Well, you'll have to listen to find out!
