7. Lyrical adaptations - West Side Story, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

"So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it. Thank you." For those who cherish Disney, worship at the altar of Spielberg, love nothing more than immersing themselves into the world of Aardman, let us introduce you to Not Just For Kids. This is the podcast that revisits the films we cherished growing up, be they family films or something we maybe shouldn’t have been watching. Host Russell Bailey continues our fifth series, taking a look at the musical genre from its heyday at the birth of the talkies to today. The podcaster Gav Smith from My Favourite Film Podcast (https://twitter.com/MyFaveFilm) joins this week to discuss a pair of classic musical adaptations of beloved texts, West Side Story and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
