Big White Elephants Presents 'Cellulloyd Webber: The Films of the Musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber'. We're kicking things off with Norman Jewison's 1973 adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's first full-fledged musical Jesus Christ Superstar!
Grace and Scott are joined by Grace's Sounds Of Silvestri co-host Clarence to talk about the desert filming locations, stylistic freeze frames, and whatever King Herod is doing!
Directed by Norman Jewison and based on Andrew Lloyd Webber and Time Rice's innovative rock opera of the same name, Jesus Christ Superstar stars Ted Neeley, Carl Anderson, Yvonne Elliman, Josh Mostel, Barry Dennen, and Bob Bingham in a hippy reinterpretation of the Passion of Christ.
You can find Clarence on Letterboxd @ck\_lb and listen to Sounds Of Silvestri wherever you get your podcasts

*Big White Elephants is a podcast where two friends, Grace and Scott, dissect movie musicals: Everything from DCOMs to MGM Classics, Japanese Punk Rock films to modern Jukebox Musicals, and all kinds of things in between! We talk about what works and what doesn't, and whether a film is a 'Big White Elephant', based on director Rob Marshall's quote ”The thing about movie musicals is that there have been some brilliant ones, but when they’re bad, they’re really bad - big white elephants.” Join us every Thursday to discuss a new musical film wherever you get your podcasts*
