Musical Season rolls on as this week the Siblings look at another cult 1970s musical film that didn’t do well at the time AND another adaptation of a famous French novel about a phantom. Did you just get chocolate in my peanut butter?

Discussed:

Muzak!
Why so serious?
The Phanom’s dumbass bargain!
But is it queer enough?
Is he Swan, or the Devil in a Swan suit?
Antagonist for the sake of antagonism!
The connection between Phantom and Rocky!
