Damien Chazelle's big musical La La Land won a record seven awards at this year's Golden Globes. The New York Times says the movie "makes musicals matter again." Colin, on the other hand, calls it "a really terrific, creative, big budget Prius commercial." The Nose gets into it.

And: It maybe gets overshadowed by other news (it totally, definitely, completely gets overshadowed by other news), but we're also about to have a new First Lady. And Melania Trump is, I think inarguably, an interesting person to fill the role. The Nose has thoughts.

GUESTS:

  • James Hanley - Co-founder of Cinestudio at Trinity College
  • Jacques Lamarre - Senior project manager at Buzz Engine
  • Irene Papoulis - Teaches writing at Trinity College
