It Pod to Be You

Hello, romantics! Manish (@vertigay314) returns as your host for this podcast that is all about falling in love on the big screen to discuss two takes on a classic love story: West Side Story, both the 1951 and 2021 versions. His guest is Ned Baker (@nednednedned) as they first discuss the classic, Best Picture winner directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins and starring Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno. Then, they discuss Steven Spielberg’s take on the musical, starring Rachel Zegler and Ariana DeBose. We hope (snaps fingers) you enjoy it (snaps fingers).
