Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

There's a podcast on the web like a great black pit and the vermin of the internet inhabit it and their opinions aren't worth what a pig could spit and it goes by the name of Forgotten Cinema!

The Mikes are traveling back to 19th century not-so jolly ol' London as they discuss the 2007 Tim Burton directed, Johnny Depp starring Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street based on the musical by Stephen Sundheim.

Mike Field and Mike Butler will talk about the little things that they noticed on this watch-through they didn't catch the first time around; from small acting choices, the exact way the music tells a story in its notes and the art direction of the film. They'll also delve into some behind the scenes facts. A Sam Mendes movie with Russell Crowe as your good friend Sweeney anyone?

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
