Depot! The Genetic Opera

About this episode

The Fagan brothers discuss Repo! The Genetic Opera and its connections to other musicals.

Ted was excited because he'd never even heard of Repo! The Genetic Opera . Matt had uncertain memories of a single viewing 17 years ago. Join the meandering Fagan brothers for a lively discussion about this musical - and other musicals! Is it true that the dystopian world of 2056 that we see in Repo! is actually the same world from The Apple , after all the good people got raptured in 1998? Will Ted learn horrifying truths about Sweeney Todd? Will Matt say some things about Stephen Sondheim that he can't take back? The answers to these questions and more, should you choose to accept them, can be found right here in DEPOT! THE GENETIC OPERA.
