Next on their journey through the decades, Alex and Kelsey examine Barbra Streisand’s breakout performance in 1968’s Funny Girl. For the first time ever, neither of our hosts had seen this film before, so their wide-eyed enthusiasm — especially concerning the dreamy Omar Sharif — is 100% genuine. Anachronisms abound as Alex & Kelsey discuss whether pants, beehives or winged eyeliner would have had any place in the teens and twenties, but ultimately the film navigates the treacherous byways of self-worth as Fanny comes to know for herself that she’s much more than just a Funny Girl.
