Cerise & Vicky hit the road, alienate their loved ones and overcome their personal demons in the course of adding five entries from the most generic genre to the list – musical biopics.

There's literal audio evidence that proves this. But we're still skeptical.) 11:05 - Elvis (2022, Baz Luhrmann) 28:17 - Bound For Glory (1976, Hal Ashby) 48:16 - Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987, Todd Haynes) 1:02:01 - Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007, Jake Kasdan) 1:15:39 - Rocketman (2019, Dexter Fletcher)
