FilmGordon Radio | Hamilton: Five Years Later

Actors performing a dramatic scene in period costumes on stage.

by Tim Gordon

This week on a special holiday edition of Keeping It Reel with FilmGordon, we revisit the groundbreaking debut of Hamilton, which dropped on Disney+ five years ago. We’ll break down how this hip-hop musical transformed a civics lesson into a cultural phenomenon that still sparks conversation today.

Plus, we remember the legendary Michael Madsen — the unforgettable tough guy behind Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, Thelma & Louise, and so many more.

And don’t miss our quick takes on what’s new on screens big and small, including The Old Guard 2, Jurassic World Rebirth, 40 Acres, and Heads of State.
