Fosse/Verdon (2019)

Back before every teen boy with a jawline and a decent sense of rhythm was filming themselves boogeying to try and go viral, Bob Fosse was showing the world that straight dudes could dance. Believed to have heavily inspired Michael Jackson's moves, in 2019 FX created a miniseries about Bob and his longtime lover Gwen Verdon called Fosse/Verdon. The show jumps back and forwards in time, starting out in 1955 when Bob (Sam Rockwell) and Gwen (Michelle Williams) first set the Broadway world on fire with their choreography for the musical Damn Yankees. While Bob was still married to Joan McCracken (Susan Misner), the pair will fall in love! But Bob is a nasty womanizer who drinks, smokes, and does the no pants dance with any pretty girl trying to make her dance dreams come true. Gwen was a huge deal in the 1950's and helped Bob at every turn, but Bob Fosse will try to ditch her when their movie Sweet Charity (1969) is a huge bomb. He'll go on to win the Oscar for Cabaret (1972) and make a bunch more successful movies, hook up with young dancer Ann Reinking (Margaret Qualley), and ask Gwen to help him with Chicago, only to suffer a mental breakdown and die in Gwen's arms. In the end, he let his Pippin slip in to all sorts of pretty women, but only ever respected Gwen Verdon. Did Bob just get all these ladies by being one of the only successful straight dudes in musical theater? Maybe. But that's just because he didn't look like Sam Rockwell. Sam shows not only his awesome bulge in a pair of tight briefs, but he briefly shows his buns while porking a pretty girl in his editing room. Kiss me Kate, but bone me Bob! Fosse/Verdon will have your jazz hands all over your junk!
