Life's But A Song

Happy belated Valentine's Day y'all! Shady's back and made Jon watch this hot deuce of a "motion picture." The two rip into whatever this thing is that they watched by trying to figure out whether this was made by AI, Dhar Mann Studios, or both...?

Another Disney DCOM (sort of) trilogy done! Lauren Guyton comes back to discuss the only High School Musical movie that was released in theaters, but also follows the plot points of the first movie...?

We're continuing on with the holy grail of DCOM trilogies: High School Musical 2!

Jim comes back on the pod to not cover a Ken Russell movie, but instead Trey Parker and Matt Stone's first film. He and Jon talk about the history of Alfred Packer (somewhat), how this movie parodies classic Hollywood, and break down how funny this movie is!

We're doing it. In a pretty long episode, Jon, Cullen and Hannah break down the recent musical-turned-into-movie Mean Girls. It's so fetch.

Scotty's back to delve into another Roald Dahl related property - the prequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the movie, not really the book). He and Jon talk about the cast and who could have been cast at Wonka, break down some of the songs, and compare this to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Jayson's back to do another Lonny Price/Lincoln Center concert, but this time it's Sweeney Todd! He and Jon love the cast (Audra, duh), have a fun time with the concept, and go off on so many tangents. All in all, it's a fun episode about a singing murderer. This episode is dedicated to Matt Koplik - Jon finally watched a stage production! Jayson’s Instagram: @jaysonlkerr Podcast Socials - Email:...

Hello, we're Jon, Gosz and Fotos, and we're here to talk about Matilda! In a very rare moment, Jon leads the conversation about his knowledge of the musical because he actually did the work (SHOCKED!). They also all geek out over the music, while oh so subtly plugging the new musical by Gosz and Fotos.

Jon got a panel together to discuss and nerd out on all things Riverdale (potentially for the last time). Joined by his Riverdale Correspondent and a bunch of new faces, he turned this episode into a bit of a game by discussing some of the songs that were sung in Riverdale outside the musical episodes.

Elvis has entered the pod. Tyler is back to talk about the King and what he means to him, while Jon is focused on the Baz Luhrmann side of things. What they both love is the massive talent of the two main actors, and how Tom Hanks is playing a villain (for once?).

We're delving into a Fred and Ginger movie this episode! Jon, Lauren and Sierra break down the movie Top Hat from the queer coding to the fashion, and make connections to events in former episodes.

It's been a minute since we've hate watched something on the pod, but Arianna came on a while ago and suggested we hate watch this and didn't disappoint. How do we stop Andrew Lloyd Webber?

We finish off the 2023 holiday season with a movie that's confusingly set around Hanukkah but has nothing to do with the actual holiday. Joined by Sam and Matan, Jon is quizzed on his knowledge of the Jewish holiday, learns about random things throughout the episode, and also made an oopsie both by picking this movie and the timing of its release.

Jon and Roland dive into a Henson property this episode by way of O. Henry. The two express their emotions (a lot of them) during the episode, talk about the beauty in the songs, and are perplexed by how they did a lot of the puppetry.

It wouldn't be a holiday season on this podcast if we didn't cover a version of A Christmas Carol. Enter bestie of the pod Colden - he introduces Jon to the first animated Christmas special and to the world of Mr. Magoo by way of Mr. Magoo acting in a Broadway production of A Christmas Carol.

It's the holiday season, so of course we have our resident Rankin and Bass Correspondent come back on for a movie that Jon forgot had ONLY ONE SONG! But still, the two have fun this episode talking about Karen (how unfortunate that that's a character's name in this movie from 1969) and her outfit, try to figure out Frosty (the character), and talk about their childhoods (again).

Mark and John are back this episode to take Jon to school. Literally. Jon learns a lot about Pee-wee's Playhouse, Grace Jones, and about the celebrities in this show. And this is a very gay episode.

This is one of the best episodes Jon has done. He knew just from watching the trailer that putting these two besties of the pod together to talk about this one movie would result in...well, you need to listen to it.

All good things must come to an end. And so do the not-so-good things. Jon and Ashley break down the last musical episode of Riverdale on this very emotional (not really, but kind of) episode. Jon has a lot of surprises for Ashley with the research he actually did on this episode of Riverdale, whilst Ashley's memory of all things Riverdale is astonishing.

Welcome to Theatre History, where your professors Jon and Marc talk about a specific moment in time - when the government tried to censor the Arts. Jon's new to the movie and the show The Cradle Will Rock, but did a deep dive into Wikipedia which means he basically has his PhD in this subject.

From the best Cinderella to a meh but entertaining Cinderella, Jon is joined by the DiCostanzo sisters to discuss the Camila Cabello led movie. The trio talk in great length about the song choices (and they were some choices made picking these ones), their thoughts on the cast, and Jon wonders whose movie is this?

Welcome to Cinderella week on the pod! Aaron is back to give the best version of the classic tale a Second Chance! He and Jon (who was sick at the time of the recording) get more into the lore of the fairytale, hate on Jason Alexander's accent, and fall in love with...love.

Jon and Dustin get more into the world of the Pink Ladies by breaking down some of their favorite (and questionable) songs from the show.
