This is surprisingly enjoyable and serves some bops. Cooling With the Homies, double trouble, lion of love, volcano man, running with the wolves are great and quite accurate parodies of esc songs. Even that boring ass “hit my itch” had its place displaying the MOR blandness that’s always present in the contest. And Husavik is great, girls, that glory note?!!?? Molly Sandén found dead, My Marianne is the new supreme.
That soundtrack is lowkey lit. Though I feel like Husavik deserved a nomination more than the entire soundtrack.
I think I will pass out if this gets an Oscar nomination. I don't want to get my hopes up but the fact it was even shortlisted is amazing.
That 15-year evolution from 3rd place at Junior Eurovision to a potential Academy Award nomination for a movie about Eurovision. Molly My Marianne Sandén did that. EDIT: oops apparently Molly didn’t co-write Husavik
