Life's But A Song

Jon with new friends and fellow podcasters Boaz and Martin talk about the fantastical fantasy biopic that is fantastically a fantasy musical movie about Elton John's fantastical life. Fantasy. They also shit on BoRap, Jon talks about queer culture and the Project Runway episode, and the trio have a great time just chatting about Elton John's music and Taron Egerton's performance. Film vs Film Podc...

Jayson comes back on the pod to once again talk about his childhood movies while Jon experiences it for the first time, and Jayson's choice doesn't disappoint.

Hi ho! Off to Middle Earth we go! Battles comes back to talk about a cross section she hasn't explored yet: her love of fantasy quests and musicals (even though this movie isn't credited as a musical). She has all the knowledge about this topic which is great because Jon doesn't know shit about the lore.

Oh my god she's back again! Ashley comes on to talk about jerkin' movie that precedes Riverdale, and it's the first time she's seen it! Stop right now and watch it because this movie is tearin' up our hearts with nostalgia and how smart and dumb it is. So go to Target and get yourself some blue clothes and a copy of this movie, and a Big Mac and enjoy the movie! Writing this was the hardest thing,...

Well...hel...looo! Joined by new soon-to-be-bestie of the pod Jay Roudybush, he and Jon gay it up while talking about the one and only Batanara Streisand (this will make sense when you listen to the episode). Jon also lost his mind after watching this for the first time ever right before recording - he is, however, grateful to finally watched this, and has a new friend to help guide him through hi...

Scottish correspondent Andrew is back to finish off his Scottish musical hat trick with a jukebox musical around The Proclaimers...the guys who sing "I Wanna Be (500 Miles)". Andrew guides Jon through some facts about the stage version, the actors in the movie, and The Proclaimers, and also drops a truth bomb that Jon was not prepared for (it's not as dramatic as it sounds, but it's a pretty cool...

About six months ago, three friends got together to talk about the Company documentary for Jon's birthday. Now they're back on Jon's half-birthday (which isn't real but go with the theme) to talk about Co-Op, a parody documentary. Jayson, Jon, and Lauren do talk about Co-Op, but they also veer off into Tangentland to talk about Sondheim and Broadway as well as a plethora of other topics. Lauren's...

We're back with another movie that isn't a musical but should be one, and with a lot of brainstorming with guest Aaron Salazar, Jon justifies this episode - for the stage adaptation that may or may not be happening. Who knows? But Aaron chose right, and this movie needs some love. Plus it has two titans acting against each other! Jay & A Are Gay: https://www.liinks.co/jayanda_aregay 4FS Podcas...

James comes back on to talk about his favorite movie musical of all time (his words). Yes, we were supposed to make it a cross-over event, but Jon timed it wrong and here we are. Also, Jon knows James is a Dolly expert, and James shows off his wealth of knowledge that is our lord and savior, Dolly Parton.

One hundred and fifty-one episodes into this podcast and Jon finally covers Tommy!

WE DID IT! 150 EPISODES!! And what a way to celebrate then discussing Diana: The Musical with some fans of the show and some of the cast members as one big panel. Did Jon shit bricks when planning this episode? Yes. Did it turn out amazing? Very much so. Did Matt compare Diana to Side Show? Yes, and that is why we love him. Join us on this momentous episode where we all laugh and just have fun bec...

Jon and Lauren jump in their jalopy and head to Cody College with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland! There, they wonder what type of college is Cody College (Lauren does explain it but Jon's not buying it), question if all the boys at the college are really lusting after Judy or do they treat her like a sister, and Jon talks about how his expectations for "I Got Rhythm" weren't met. Lauren’s Instagra...

STOP THE PRESSES! Shady's back on to talk about the Superman TV musical movie, where she and Jon aren't completely sure how they settled on covering this topic but they're both so happy it happened. They laugh their way through the episode because the movie is BONKERS! Also, Leslie Ann Warren is a national treasure, but where is Lex Luthor? Shady's Twitter: @cookieoshady Movie Deja Vu's Socials -...

HAPPY CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!! (If you celebrate it...) Battles comes back to talk about the Heat and Snow Misers epic queerness, why Mrs. Claus is the main character, however her voice is too "old lady."

Jon and Matt are on the case with Shawn and Gus! They go to lovely Santa Barbara to help the cast of Psych discover who is the murderer in this musical packed episode.

THE FUED IS OVER!! Jayson comes on to finish off the feud that Jon accidentally started with Annie (2014), and boy howdy!

After Jon talked through his emotions about Gene Kelly with Sierra last time she was on, they get together to lust after Gene once more, but this time in pirate costumes! At least Jon is being exposed to different musicals, and Sierra is glad to guide him into Golden Age Hollywood. But, with modern eyes there are some things that they did back then that were definitely not cool. Sierra’s Instagram...

Jon makes new friends this episode, the hosts of the Two Salty Broads podcast Lindsey and Sepideh, and they picked a BANGER of a movie! They talk about the grandness of the music, how Follo is the evilest villain to date in the Disney catalogue, and to those of you who don't like it tell Jon why - he's curious.

You put your screwball spy comedy in my Elvis musical! Scotty K returns to talk about a movie Jon has never heard of: Top Secret! (No really, that's the name of the movie.) Scott talks a lot about Val Kilmer's filmography, while he and Jon can't get over the underwater sequence. Trust, you will want to watch this one! Also, Jon will be on Writer's Bagel Basket to talk more about Val Kilmer's caree...

Jon dragged Lauren back on the pod to cover 1776 because he thought it would be a great theme episode, considering today is Independence Day in America. They go through the three hour movie to discuss how the music effects the story, wigs, and the representatives. Also: FEENY!

Christa got the golden ticket and is taking Jon to the chocolate factory this episode. They are in awe 50 years later at the practical effects, Gene Wilder's performance, and how incredibly talented the child actors are! Also, they shit on the Johnny Depp version a bit, and talk about the prequel movie! Christa's Instagram: @christakw_ Podcast Socials - Email: butasongpod@gmail.com Facebook: @buta...

Well, they did it again - Riverdale was doing so well with their musical episodes that they pulled the rug from under us. Jon and Ashley basically laugh their way through this episode, but like not laughing with the show. Huge spoiler alert if you haven't seen season six of Riverdale, and Tessa thanks for listening.

Honey Boy is joined by two-thirds of the hosts of Three Films and a Podcast Matt and Tyler to break down the cult classic Purple Rain. They debate whether it's a musical movie or a movie with music, get into Prince's image and sexuality (with some speculation by Jon about the characters in the film), and Many and Tyler make basketball metaphors that Jon understood. Also: sorry Steve. Prince's Wiki...

Where to begin with this one - Shady really wanted to talk about Miami Connection, and Jon said, "Absolutely." They talk about Dragon Sound, Y.K. Kim and how this movie went to Cannes, the fight choreography, and Shady accidentally makes a music joke.
