Books, Movies, and Musicals! Oh, My!

In a world where ghosts are real the best ghostbusters are the people who don’t endlessly try to hit on people for no reason. We like slimeballs over here. Take the sleazeballs away!! Don’t know what I’m talking about? You’ll have to listen to find out!! ANNOUNCEMENT: For the rest of the year we are doing The Holiday Show! Please join us in October for Halloween movies, November for Thanksgiving m...

It's safe to say that it would be terrifying if the world suddenly turned into a musical. Just think about the implications! It's horrifying! While we know this musical way too well, it's interesting to discover new things each time we watch it. For example, how are all of our favorite characters still alive at the end? I guess we'll just have to theorize about that! ANNOUNCEMENT: For the rest of...

Hey guys! Colleen finally got to watch Coraline for the first time ever!! It was interesting trying to figure out if the other world was a coping mechanism or a reality! We also had to address the fact that when the movie started and Coraline found the well, her immediate thought was "Did Coraline fall down the well??" Come listen to see how crazy this conversation got! We had lots of fu...

With every single movie, Gwen's character somehow just gets worse and worse... Why is that? Also, why did Ethan give up his powers after his DAD was evil in the last movie? And why does NO ONE care about the Cromwells being royalty??? (They're not royalty anymore, but they used to be!) Come join us for an adventure of a movie! ANNOUNCEMENT: For the rest of the year we are doing The Holiday...

Did you know that there is always an evil villain?? AND that they are almost ALWAYS related to someone in the main cast? At least when it comes to Halloweentown that holds true. Also Lucas Grabeel totally predicted he would be in a musical in this movie. We love it! Listen closely for our Liquid IV discount code! ANNOUNCEMENT: For the rest of the year we are doing The Holiday Show! Please join us...

We think it's pretty obvious, but Marnie just isn't the smartest witch in the coven. From letting literal strangers into her grandmother's bedroom to trying to keep the portal doors open through physical strength, Marnie just makes interesting choices. Also, just how do Marnie and Aggie figure out that Kal is Kalabar's son? That's something that just doesn't make sense in t...

It's really interesting how the movies you really enjoyed as a child are so different when you watch them as an adult. Halloweentown is no stranger to this phenomenon. We enjoyed revisiting a movie we enjoyed as kids, but we couldn't help but pick at it a little bit! Let us know some of your fave Halloween movies and maybe we'll look into doing those for an episode or two! Listen close...

Did we spend this entire episode gushing about how good Mother Gothel was in this 1 hour musical? Yes. Yes, we did. (PLEASE go look up Katie Whetsell who played Mother Gothel as she was absolutely FANTASTIC!) Besides the absolute fantastic Katie Whetsell, we discuss the Flynngirls, how weird (and creepy) the brothers are in this musical, and we also discuss how incredible the actor for Maximus is!...

We finish our discussion of Barbie as Rapunzel in this episode and as promised I looked up when the last movie Barbie got married in and without watching them I'm gonna trust google for now and say the last Barbie movie she gets married in at the end is The Island Princess. We are recording our episodes LIVE over on Twitch! You get to see and hear us as we discuss books, movies, and musicals,...

Barbie as Rapunzel is one of Karen's favorite childhood movies. She has seen it about a million times. Colleen has never seen Barbie as Rapunzel and is extremely confused upon watching it for the first time. Absolutely nothing makes sense in this movie. And that's fine! Come join us in our discussion of the first half of the movie Barbie as Rapunzel as we are thrust into the story of Rapun...

Happy 3rd Anniversary to Books, Movies, and Musicals! Oh, My! We would like to thank every single one of you for your continued support over the past 3 years as we have grown as a podcast. From starting in a closet to all the guests we've had on the show, and now we stream our episodes LIVE on Twitch??? It's crazy how far we've come! (Just don't mention our multiple hiatuses... We...

If only Disney could figure out their own rules for Rapunzel's hair, if only. It would be nice to know exactly how and why it works and where the power is coming from. If anyone knows, let us know! We are very interested in people's theories!! We are recording our episodes LIVE over on Twitch! You get to see and hear us as we discuss books, movies, and musicals, and you can even interact w...

Everyone thinks that Mother Gothel only cares about Rapunzel's hair, but they're WRONG! Mother Gothel actually does care about Rapunzel! How else would she be able to read, cook, and paint? Now, was Mother Gothel smart in how she raised Rapunzel? Maybe not... But that's okay. Besides Rapunzel, we absolutely adore Flynn! 10/10 character. And his relationship with Maximus is just *chef&#...

Rapunzel.... please keep your hair to yourself and don't agree to marry anyone until you've known them for AT LEAST 5 minutes. We are recording our episodes LIVE over on Twitch! You get to see and hear us as we discuss books, movies, and musicals, and you can even interact with us during the episodes! (Not to mention you'll get to see and hear our bloopers too!) Don't worry though!...

Not only are many of the characters in this movie confused about what's going on, but we are too!! Join us in our confusion! In this episode we discuss the second half of the Goblet of Fire movie where Hermione yells at Harry (for no reason), the champions only needed to swim straight down for the second task, the ENTIRE third task gets changed, and Durmstrang shoots canons at Hogwarts as they...

Harry very clearly didn't want to take part in the Death Raffle (aka the Triwizard Tournament), but Ron isn't listening! In this episode we discuss the first half of the Goblet of Fire movie where most of Barty Crouch Jr's backstory is eliminated and the movie just moves so quickly! We're not even sure what the timeline is since there just isn't one set in stone. Not to mention...

THE END. Goblet of Fire book discussion is officially finished! On to the movie! So join us, after you listen to us discuss why Harry can't see the Thestrals yet, in watching the movie and in our discussions of the movie! ANNOUNCEMENT: We will be having a Goblet of Fire movie night on Saturday, July 29th, at 7:00 pm CST. Please be sure to join our discord server so you can join in on the movie...

It's the 50th episode of Our Goblet of Wine is Better!!! Thank you to everyone who has tuned into the series and we can't wait to see where it takes us next! In this episode, we discuss how Wormtail should have bled out after cutting his hand off, how we wish we knew more about the Dark Mark, and faithful Death Eaters. We have issues with how Expelliarmus is somehow able to block Avada Ked...

Don't you dare be thinking we can actually analyze this story. We can't. We're unintelligent... but we do try and make our very best attempt to!! Join us for the strange section of the book where spells (as usual) do things they shouldn't, where Harry can answer a riddle correctly, and where the spare no longer exists. Also... can you actually give your hand to Voldy the way Wormta...

We are SO unintelligent! One of our recent reviewers helped us realize this. Thanks a bunch! In this episode we discuss the twins blackmailing some unnamed person, how Dumbledore needs a doorbell to his office, how stupid Harry Potter (the character) is, and how incredibly different Barty Crouch Jr. is in the book vs the movie. And to tie it all together, we're so unintelligent that we needed...

You know? Even though these two chapters were less interesting than we would have liked, the Barty Crouch family drama and information is really fascinating and we revealed more than the chapters even tell us right now. We can't wait to confirm (or not confirm) the Azkaban situation with Crouch, his wife, and their son. We are recording our episodes LIVE over on Twitch! You get to see and hear...

Why do the prefects need a "bath" the size of a swimming pool??? (Diving board included!) We haven't been able to figure it out. In this episode though, we find out that Harry doesn't care about the fact that his friends disappear for an entire night. However, it's time for the second task! This task was much more fun to read, but the mermaids surprised us! We've watched...

So... the Yule Ball and some other things happen but the real takeaway from these chapters is that Ron is a bitch. Simple. Now go listen and find out for yourself! ANNOUNCEMENT: We have begun recording our episodes LIVE over on Twitch! You get to see and hear us as we discuss books, movies, and musicals, and you can even interact with us during the episodes! (Not to mention you'll get to see a...

We found out mid-recording that we were SUPER limited on time that we had to record on zencastr and we honestly wigged out a little about it BUT managed to record it all in a timely manner (thank god these were small filler chapters). Basically... Hermione has figured out where the house elves are in Hogwarts and wants to bother them now. ANNOUNCEMENT: We have begun recording our episodes LIVE ove...

Harry goes from thinking he is going to die to dragons to succeeding in getting his clue for the second task! He has a little mini version of his dragon and has discovered a brand new spell only 4 years into his education! Harry now knows Expelliarmus and Accio! ANNOUNCEMENT: We have begun recording our episodes LIVE over on Twitch! You get to see and hear us as we discuss books, movies, and music...
