Summary
Rami Malek - Bohemian Rhapsody
The Not Old Better Show - Movies for Adults Series
Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, I'm Paul Vogelzang and this is episode #280.
That unmistakable music from the new movie, Bohemian Rhapsody speaks so much about this film, and speaks volumes to The Not Old Better audience who remember it well, but so, too, do new audiences and the film showcases Queen's music legacy.
And those songs, while we all sing along and even cheer for the deep back catalog of Queen music, deliver the best moments of this new film, telling the story of Queen's interesting group of characters with differing personalities, the drama of the band's early years, the moments of highs and lows, conflict and a devastating tragedy.
And that's what Bohemian Rhapsody, named after Queen's epic signature song, and Garth and Wayne's Bohemian Rhapsody scene from SNL to younger audiences, for the most part delivers.
Check out my interview with Rami Malek, and hear his take on the music legacy of Queen and the thrill ride that is Freddy Mercury.
