In another crossover podcasting event, Jon welcomes Christian Garcia to the pod, and Jon picked the classic Sweet Charity! The two discuss "The Rhythm of Life," get very New York for a while, and the comedic genius that is Shirley MacLaine.

Jon somehow managed to trick Joe and Anthony from the Beards and Sundries podcast without Jay (it really didn't take that much convincing). The three take a deep dive into the world of South Park, discussing the movie, the series, and the franchise as a whole. Things get a little heated when they realize some things about the genius of Matt and Trey, and the trio talk about the songs in length esp...

We get a little deep this episode. Kevin comes back to the pod with an outstanding movie that is not a musical, but is about music and sound - it won the 2021 Oscar for Best Sound for good reason. And the two delve into Riz Ahmed's emotional performance in this movie.

Roger Ebert wrote this movie - let that sink in for a second. This is Jon's first time watching this bananas movie, so Tyler acts as his sherpa to help make sense of this not-a-porn-but-maybe-a-porn movie, as well as decipher what is missed in the choppy editing. But great songs! Tyler's Instagram: @tylerhenryactor Podcast Socials - Email: butasongpod@gmail.com Facebook: @butasongpod Instagram: @b...

Scott and his Hell is a Musical co-host Lilz pop by this episode to teach Jon about Talking Heads. They all discuss this fantastic movie, get into the drama behind the scenes, and also do their best David Byrne impression. Also, fuck Chris Fartz.

We conclude spooky season with the scariest movie of them all: a musical movie based on the song "Monster Mash" starring Candace Cameron, and yes she does "sing" in it. But at least there's a whole cast of fun actors in this off-the-wall bonkers movie. And to guest Michael's point: is anyone else going to talk about this movie?

Matt's back to take a stab one of the best horror musicals ever! We head back to London to delve into Tim Burton's world of Sweeney Todd, and Matt actually has seen the stage version so he's here to help guide Jon with his many questions. Also, "By the Sea"...c'mon. Matt's Instagram: @mattkoplik Podcast Socials - Email: butasongpod@gmail.com Facebook: @butasongpod Instagram: @butasongpod TikTok: @...

Jon and Shady have it out this episode - Jon loves this movie, while Shady doesn't. However, they both agree that the choreography is spectacular and most of the costumes are amazing (Shady has strong thoughts on the aliens' legging). Oh yeah: we welcome aliens to the wolf pack.

Welcome back to Seabrook, where Addison feels lost because of her hair, we re-learn American history because the history books are "surprisingly" wrong, and the lackluster feel to this movie...but with like two banger songs and performances!

We're going down a different path for spooky season - Jon and Shady team up for the next few episodes to deconstruct the not-so-subtle metaphors in the Z-O-M-B-I-E-S franchise. But with banger music and fire choreography, as the kids say.

Jon messed up again. Thinking that this might be a fun movie to do with Sierra without watching it before assigning it, Jon would like to apologize (again) to Sierra, her husband, her cat, and any of you who've watched this movie. The two rip it to shreds in this episode, rightfully so. Sierra’s Instagram: @sierrarein Marquee Five: @marqueefive Podcast Socials - Email: butasongpod@gmail.com Facebo...

To kick off our Halloween-y episodes Jon is joined with fellow podcasters Steven and Mary to finish the Starkid Harry Potter trilogy almost a year after they started. They travel back to 2013 to a weird con (maybe?) where the cast performed a staged reading of this show that is all over the place. But, it does offer some closure to this chapter of Starkid. What should they do next? From the Top! l...

Oof! Buckle up kids! Jon is not happy but doesn't try to rain too much on Lauren's parade. Even though the two agree that there are problems in this movie, the songs is where they disagree. Also, Jon and Lauren were in a production of My Fair Lady in high school and they reminisce/therapize their experience.

We're going back to France, and this time Jon's computer didn't get an STI! Roland introduced to Jon this French "opera" where it's a trope-y love story but with a twist! Also, the wallpapers! Roland's Instagram: @rolandrusinek Podcast Socials - Email: butasongpod@gmail.com Facebook: @butasongpod Instagram: @butasongpod TikTok: @butasongpod Twitter: @butasongpod Next episode: My Fair Lady!

This episode Jon paired Marc Bonanni and Rebecca Edmunds to tackle Kiss Me, Kate. The three share a personal memory/memories to this movie and/or show, as well as witness the birth of Bob Fosse's style and Howard Keel play yet another problematic character (le sigh).

We're branching out into international musical movies this episode by heading to 1980s Japan! Jon twisted Chris's and Gary's arms (not really) to rewatch the amazing movie that is The Legend of the Stardust Brothers, and much like the movie this episode goes all over the place: from pop stars, to unfortunate news about some of the actors, to a reveal that no one would see coming if this was their...

She's back! And so is Mary Poppins! Colden joins us this episode to delve into the world of the Banks family in the 1930s - can you imagine that? There's nowhere to go but up in this episode, except to talk about the place where the lost things go. Be sure to trip a little light fantastic!

Everyone welcome back to the podcast: Diana DiCostanzo! She and Jon go back in time to talk about a nanny who is gifted and helps the father and his children reconcile their relationship by the power of song. No, it's not the Second Chance of The Sound of Music - it's Mary Poppins! The other nanny movie that Dame Julie Andrews stars in! Diana’s Twitter: @dianalikesdogs Diana’s Instagram: @dianasta...

We're going on an adventure so Jayson must be the guest! He and Jon break down the 2005 Lincoln Center performance of Candide, which is the only version Jon has seen, and Jon has some wild theories this episode. The two love on the music, Patti and Kristin, the signage, and more! Shout out to Arianna Armon! Jayson’s Instagram: @jaysonlkerr Podcast Socials - Email: butasongpod@gmail.com Facebook: @...

We're tapping back to Sierra and Gene Kelly this episode, but in fun and interesting ways! From traditional, to roller-skates, to garbage can lids, this potential sequel to On the Town is a fun ride! And telling compelling stories that seem progressive for the times.

This episode takes a hard turn as a twist is revealed within the first five minutes - one of the guests hasn't seen Rent before! In this episode, Jon basically lives vicariously through this person's fresh eyes to one of Jon's favorite musicals.

Oh Ken Russell, you did it again. Jim comes back to discuss this work of art - there's no other way to describe it. He and Jon break down the elements that are presented to them, Jon has a wild theory that may actually hold some water, and dicks.

Tyler's back to talk about another trippy movie that both he and Jon just love, and how can you not? The two explore further into the potential symbolism that Ken Russell added, "Cousin Kevin," and the cameos. It's a total love fest for this movie.

Fosse's back, but this time it's "not Fosse." Jon, John, and Mark dive into the semi-autobiopic of Bob Fosse discussing his muses (Ann Reinking! Leland Palmer!), get into "Airotica" and whatever this musical is, and talk about their love of the choreography.
