Kristian and Trevor take on the challenge of redeeming Hair from 1979.  Is it a faithful movie version of a classic musical, or does it need to cut its hair and get a real job?

Do the hippies really just live in Central Park?  Why did they not keep the main character as a hippy?  Is there any chemistry between the leads?  Who is this movie actually about?  Is this move redeemable?

Listen on and find out!

Did we miss any redeeming features?  Do you think we were too generous or unfair?  Do you have a suggestion, or a challenge, for us to take on in the future?  Then get in touch with us by either leaving a comment on our homepage, Facebook or Twitter, or email us at [email protected]
