I’m now one step closer to having seen every film adaptation of Phantom of the Opera.

We asked readers to pick us a movie, and the results were…extremely 70s.

It’s cool: Vrai is a big Phantom of the Opera nerd, and Dorothy is totally primed to watch the older version of The Crow (that there’s not much reason to watch, because now The Crow exists). And we can all come together and marvel at the glory of BEEF, the most magical and meatheadiest gay rocker.
