About this episode
A little gritty political drama, a little technicolor musical, a little revolutionary politics, a little ahead-of-its-time queer representation… Kiss of the Spider Woman has been a novel, a play, an Oscar-winning movie, a Tony-winning Broadway musical, and now a Bill Condon movie musical starring Jennifer Lopez, Diego Luna, and relative newcomer Tonatiuh. LA-based film critic Carlos Aguilar joins us to get into the enduring allure of Spider Woman , and to name some bleak movies that could be jazzed up with a little old-timey movie-musical interlude.
