Summary
The gang is back together with Lindsay temporarily emerging from the Phantom's lair to join us as we go once more unto the breach with Joel Schumacher's Andrew Lloyd Webber's 2004 cinematic masterpiece. Angie's love life is stifled by the Phantom, Lindsay tries to make sense of the cinematographic choices, and the resident Persian is pleased as punch to be discussing this godforsaken story for the umpteenth time.
