Life's But A Song

We're back to German epic theatre everyone! Aaron comes back on to bring Jon back to old, dirty England where everyone is a criminal and very unreliable, but it's wildly entertaining. Plus Raul Julia!

Jon and Grease 2 superfan Tyler Henry revisit Grease 2 this episode! They break down more of the movie, discuss how and why they love Grease, and Tyler talks about his love of Maxwell Caulfield as well as shares some stories. "Let's Do It For Our Country" is still terrible. Tyler's Instagram: @tylerhenryactor Podcast Socials - Email: butasongpod@gmail.com Facebook: @butasongpod Instagram: @butason...

Shady takes Jon to Tollywood this episode to introduce him to the best movie ever: RRR. It transcends genre and is the best superhero movie about two very real and historical revolutionaries. Also, Jon has been watching "Naatu Naatu" nonstop.

Jon heads back to the '60s by way of the '80s with new guest Roland (yes, he was a special guest before, but this is his first full episode)! The two battle it out to figure out which ending they prefer, discuss Ellen Greene at length, and pitch their remakes of the movie.

WE DID IT! Jon and Sierra are a little punch drunk while talking about Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly this episode. Jon has some wild theories to connect this mini-series, while Sierra talks about some sneaky war propaganda that is in this movie. Also, men are terrible.

Jon and Sierra head to the roller rink of dreams - Xanadu! As part of her three episode arc, Sierra is here to discuss more Gene Kelly (because Jon admittedly did not do that enough last time) while talking about her husband's love of ELO. They are also connecting some dots from the last episode, but make sure to tune in next episode so all the connections are explained. Sierra’s Instagram: @sierr...

Jon has invited Sierra to have a three episode arc on the pod to talk about three different movies that may or may not be intertwined. Well, two are technically...and Sierra will be able to talk about Gene Kelly, but not in this one. The two talk about Mr. Jordan, how much of a goddess Rita Hayworth is, and Sierra brings up a weird costume choice. Sierra’s Instagram: @sierrarein Marquee Five: @mar...

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob OldMan! (This won't make sense until it does.) The Gismondi sisters are back to entertain Jon's hatred for the movie, while teaching him about the series. And we cover a lot more about this movie than Jon originally did.

In this episode, Colden introduces Jon to Pennies from Heaven, where Jon goes on a whole journey to the point where he's broken at the end. Will Jon ever be the same again? Is Colden the new host of the pod? Is this the one that broke the pod? (Spoiler alert: It didn't - there's more episodes to come.)

Jonathan comes back on the pod to be the first guest doing Second Chance Theatre with Hairspray! They, with Jon, break down Edna (and yes, Jonathan did play this character at least once before), and discuss more about this movie that Jon missed the last time like Michelle Pfeiffer and Christopher Walken.

Today we're hitting the books! Well, one book in particular: Cancer, Musical Theatre & Other Chronic Illnesses, and Jon is discussing it with the author himself - Edward Miskie!

Jayson and Jon welcome new guest Aaron in the merry ol' land of Oz by way of NYC. The three discuss their love of The Wiz, breakdown the performances of Dorothy and Friends, and talk about their love of "Everybody Rejoice".

Officer Matt Koprok is back to finish talking about the infamous Cop Rock. Matt makes references to other shows/movies to make a point (oddly to Bedknobs and Broomsticks) while Jon wants to remake the show, but do it better.

Jon may have accidentally started another feud with bestie of the pod Matt by making him watch Cop Rock. However, the two end up having a fun conversation about the first half of the season/series. Also, stick to the end of the episode where Matt makes a joke that Jon wished was the reason for pairing Matt to this show.

Jon forced new soon-to-be friend of the pod Caden Marshall to watch Walking on Sunshine, and was pleasantly surprised with the conversation the two had. Caden went on this journey to Italy with Jon without wanting to throw a tomato, and this movie is DEFINITELY NOT Mamma Mia...not at all...

Cullen's back and to talk about something completely different from Glee: Enchanted's sequel! He and Jon discuss all things Amy Adams and her other masterclass in acting, and the two come up with different story pitches for this movie (and they might be better than what was on Disney+). Off to fairytale land we go! Gleeboot's Socials: @gleebootpod Not My Fantasy's Instagram: @notmyfantasypod Culle...

Jon and Battles are enchanted by Amy Adams this episode - she's just so DAMN AMAZING in this movie! But also they deconstruct the movie Enchanted and how well crafted it is, even though it's flawed and some bits didn't age well.

Welcome back to the pod, again, Arianna! It's been about 130 episodes since you were here, and Jon picked a doozy for your grand return - Aria, a series of vignettes set to operas that have nothing to do with said operas (for the most part). Things get weird, and Jon and Arianna aren't happy, but they laugh their way through this episode. Arianna’s Socials - Instagram/TikTok: @ladyaria_ Website: w...

Oof magoof! Well, it was bound to happen at some point on this podcast, and at least Jon took Sierra on this ride because she gets it. The two rip off the Band Aid real fast, but then eventually talk about the movie as a whole...but man, choices were made while making Holiday Inn.

The Reilly family is here to talk about another holiday tradition of theirs - watching A Muppet Family Christmas! Jon got his parents and sister to come on to share their thoughts on this TV special, and John (Jon's dad - note the "H") drops a theory that none of them heard before. Also, we're doing something a little different this episode. Enjoy! Podcast Socials - Email: butasongpod@gmail.com Fa...

Jon gives Jayson a peek into his childhood with today's movie because, as Jon mentions a million times in the episode, he's seen this stage version for about seven years in a row when he was a kid. Now, Jon is introducing this version of A Christmas Carol to everyone because it's AMAZING (even though the stage version is superior in his completely unbiased opinion). Also: Jon chats with a former c...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away Bruce Vilanch wrote a trashterpiece that George Lucas tried to destroy out of existence. But some members of the Resistance fought Lucas and now we all get to enjoy this garbage that HAS PORN IN IT! And terrifying Wookies that will give Jon, Gary, and Chris nightmares. The Horror. Cult. Trash. Other. Podcast's Linktree: linktr.ee/horrorculttrashother Podca...

Well, poop. Talking poop. That's where this podcast has gone - to South Park! Jon is with the Gismondi women to break down two episodes of South Park, where Mr. Hankey is a central character. Lauren and her sister, Gabby, come on to talk about one of their Christmas traditions, which is to listen to the Mr. Hankey Christmas Classics album. Gabby's Instagram: @gabsgismondi Lauren’s Instagram: @lagi...

It's the holiday season, and it's about time we spend it with Mrs. (Jessica) Claus! New soon-to-be-friend of the pod Aaron Choi comes on to discuss Angela Lansbury being a goddamn goddess! She tries so hard to make it work, but it's as wild as Nora's accent.

It's the start of the holiday season here on Life's But A Song, and to kick off Battles comes on to introduce Jon to the bananas Babes in Toyland that isn't insane enough for Jon.
