  • Summary

  • At first glance, Barbra Streisand and Sylvester Stallone would seem to have nothing in common. Yet these two scrappy New Yorkers actually paved similar paths to superstardom, and their filmographies share a surprising number of common themes.

    In each episode of this podcast, theatre professor Kirk Vichengrad and entertainment journalist Matt Chernov referee an epic matchup between a movie from each star’s canon. Join them as they explore the cinematic imprint and social impact of the Greatest Star and the Italian Stallion. With each Main Event, the Cliffhanger may not be who goes Over the Top, but how we remember The Way We Were.

    WHAT’S UP, DOC? vs. OSCAR: May The Farce Be With You
    Dec 22 2024

    The elements of farce – that classic comedic genre defined by physical humor and mistaken identities – connect this episode’s battle between Barbra’s What’s Up, Doc? and Sly’s Oscar. Though comedy is especially subjective, our hosts Kirk and Matt appear to be in agreement over the winner of this contest…. and by much more than a hare!
