Alex and Daisha finally managed to categorize this season just in time for its finale! Together, we have trudged through most iterations of the "stars-being-birthed genre." Some were better than others, but they all pretty much had the same floor plan. Now, in their final episode, The Broadway Babies have decided to end with a mockumentary. Especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, the general public seems to be exhausted with celebrity culture, and “This is Spinal Tap” lets us know that celebrity ego hasn’t changed much in 36 years. Let us know what you thought about our season on Facebook or Twitter. How would you rank the movies we covered from favorite to least-favorite?
