Episode 38: Chicago (2002)


Released 3 July 2019


For this episode, we watched Chicago, written by
Bill Condon, from the musical play by Bob Fosse and Fred Ebb, and
the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins. It was directed and
choreographed by Rob Marshall and starred Renée Zellweger
(nominated), Catherine Zeta-Jones (won), Richard Gere, John C
Reilly (nominated) and Queen Latifah (nominated). It also won for
its Art Direction, Costume Design, Editing and Sound. Kander and
Ebb’s new song “I Move On” was nominated but lost to "Lose
Yourself" from 8 Mile.
