121 - In The Heights: Despacito 2 with Juan + Vic

Kino Lefter

Friends of the show Juan and Vic return to discuss cultural figure Lin-Manuel Miranda and the film adaptation of his celebrated 2005 musical In The Heights. Set in the NYC community of Washington Heights, the film follows Usnavi, a small business owner with a dream. How does the film approach questions of identity and capital ownership? What changes have been made and why? Will Dascha Polanco DM me? All this and more answered inside.
*Note: there are some mild sound issues that we had due to the recording set-up, but they're small hiccups along the way*
