029 - Across The Universe ("Five Salma Hayeks") (w/ Malorie Savran)

b"Across The Universe was a 2007 romantic drama/jukebox musical film directed by Julie Taymor, and featured starring roles from Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess, and Joe Anderson, with cameo appearances from Bono, Salma Hayek, Eddie Izzard, and Joe Cocker, among others. The movie follows a loose plot involving romance blossoming during the height of protests against the war in Vietnam, set against a musical backdrop of Beatles songs. Critics were unimpressed by Across The Universe's razor-thin plot, but offered heavy praise to its visual sequences and performances, and it would become a major commercial success.

On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott welcome Malorie Savran to the podcast to attempt to make sense of Across The Universe. Join them through numerous psychedelic wonderlands of questionable point, extremely unsubtle Fab Four references shoehorned into an already unimpressive story, and watch Lilz get really REALLY sick of Beatles tributes.
