Enstarz Presents: 'Made You Watch...(A Podcast). Gerard Butler Can Sing? Find Out As We Make You Watch 'The Phantom Of The Opera (2004)
In this episode of Made You Watch... (a podcast) we decided to try and class the joint up a bit, as Melanie recommends Adam watch a childhood favorite: The Phantom of the Opera (2004), starring Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson, and Miranda Richardson.
Based on the award-winning hit Broadway musical by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, this Joel Schumacher-directed adaptation has everything from pretty decent age make-up and super-long musical numbers, to one of the worst edits in cinematic history, and a sewer horse.
That's right. A horse that lives in the sewer.
And did we mention the triumphant return of Minnie Driver to the show?
Will this film hold up to Melanie's childhood fondness, or will The Phantom's B.I.E. (Big Incel Energy) prove too much for modern eyes?
Will Adam be able to sit through a - good lord - 2 hour and 23 minute musical?
Find out this and more, and get ready to hear just how good the acoustics are in the sewer, as we make you watch The Phantom of the Opera. (If you're lucky, Adam might just sing on this one!)
