About this episode

The episode discusses the film Fiddler on the Roof, its characters, tone, and music, while also touching on other topics like Obsession and the horror genre.

This week's Rick's Pick is Fiddler on the Roof (1971) directed by Norman Jewison! We digress for quite a bit about Obsession (again...) and the current era of horror (AGAIN!) in relation to the movie musical before segueing into a discussion about this movie's interesting characters, uneven tone, and showstopping songs.
