Moulin Rouge! is a 2001 romantic drama musical directed by Baz Luhrmann, or as he's best known in Zero Science circles; "Bag Lunchman". The film followed the story of a young British poet, and his doomed romance with a burlesque dancer and courtesan in Paris during the 1900s. It was noteworthy for its usage of contemporary popular music in contrast to the turn-of-the-century setting, (An early example of a jukebox musical) its manic and off-the-rails style of editing, and for the intense detail paid to visual aesthetics, marking it as a piece of post-modernist cinema in the eyes of some critics. It starred Ewan McGregor, Nicole Kidman, John Leguizamo, Jim Broadbent, and Richard Roxburgh, and was a major box office hit, catapulting Lurhmann/Lunchman into mainstream success.

On this episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott take in a viewing of Moulin Rouge! with special guest Hayleigh Kurland (Scott's Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife!), and attempt to make sense of the technicolor mishmash they see before them. Join us as Scott regails the listener with stories of adjacent high school dance cringe, Hayleigh posits on Nicole Kidman's boundless happiness with divorce, and Lilz slowly loses her goddamn mind as she is dragged deeper and deeper into Bag Lunchman's jukebox musical armageddon.

...with Lilz and Scott!
