Tick, Tick...Boom (2021)...and CODEWORD: FRENCH

2021 has been the year of the movie musical! This week, Phoenix and Nathan sat down for a one-on-one to discuss the debut film by Lin-Manuel Miranda, TICK, TICK...BOOM starring Andrew Garfield, Vanessa Hudgens, Alexandra Shipp, and Robin De Jesus.

Could this be a potential awards contender? Is the hype real behind Garfield's performance? And where does this film land among Miranda's other works?

Plus, Film Code has officially returned after a long absence. Nathan gives us his codeword this week, and Phoenix gets the only opportunity for a crack at it. Can he break away from the pact and seal the lead?

Find out all this and more on this week's episode of Film Code!
