Don Shanahan
2021 might go down as “The Year of Andrew Garfield.” He was a surprise addition to the year’s biggest blockbuster and is enjoying a wave of critical favor that could net him an Academy Award. The Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, was ready to write their valentines to Andrew Garfield and brought in a special guest to help shower the love.
For their 48th episode, 25YL film critics, non-musical dads, and pencil-pushing school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan invited Chicago-based freelance writer, news editor, and film critic Annie Banks of Chuck Load of Comics and MovieWeb for the first of a pair of recordings. Staying on the glitzy course towards the Oscars, Annie came to sing the praises of Andrew Garfield’s hit Netflix vehicle tick, tick… BOOM! The three go back and forth to hit the high notes and the low notes of this musical from director Lin-Manuel Miranda.
