Comment: I didn’t unload on the terrible The Greatest Showman soundtrack as thoroughly as I wanted to, mostly because it seemed like a complete waste of effort, and partially because it is a movie soundtrack and might improve (actually, it has no choice but to) in context. But that “A Million Dreams (Reprise)” could be used as a defense for filicide.
