All That Jazz with Lin-Manuel Miranda
It\u2019s SHOWTIME, folks - and boy, are we jazzed about this episode! Broadway icon and actual Blank Check listener Lin-Manuel Miranda joins us to talk about what many consider to be Bob Fosse\u2019s masterpiece, 1979\u2019s \u201cAll That Jazz.\u201d LMM surprises Griffin and David by bringing along an original copy of the film\u2019s script, which offers some fascinating insights into Fosse\u2019s blurring of the lines between memoir and fiction. We discuss the parallels between \u201cAll That Jazz\u201d and LMM\u2019s recent screen adaptation of Jonathan Larson\u2019s \u201ctick, tick\u2026BOOM!\u201d - two projects that are concerned with the creation of art in the face of mortality and self-doubt.
