Summary

For our second podcast review this week, Nicole Ackman, Josh Parham, Ema Sasic & Dan Bayer join me to review Lin-Manuel Miranda's feature directorial debut "Tick, Tick...Boom!," based on the off-Broadway musical by Jonathan Larson about Jonathan Larson. Played wonderfully by Andrew Garfield, Larson's life and work are brought to life in an energizing love letter dedicated to theater kids everywhere. The film is currently streaming on Netflix, and what did we think of it? What did we think of the musical numbers, story, performances, and the film's awards chances? We discuss all of these talking points and more in our review down below. Enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
