Take a magical trip back in time with us (and special guest Claire Kostohryz!) to 1950's New York as we settle in for Steven Spielberg's West Side Story. This film is a reimagining of the classic 1961 film of the same name, and stars Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, Ariana DeBose, David Alvarez, and Mike Faist. Were we brought together through the power of song and dance, or did this viewing lead to a go-old-fashioned rumble? Tune in to find out!
