Life's But A Song

We welcome new guest to the pod Meghan who brings a strong first episode! In a movie that you probably haven't heard of but with an all star cast she and Jon discuss the fragile male ego, Kate Winslet, and the choice of how the songs are "sung."

We head back in the world of Jim Henson this episode with Tyler, who is a David Bowie expert (which Jon forgot), to revisit Labyrinth. They discuss their theories as to what's actually happening, Tyler brings some outsider knowledge about this movie and it's novelization, and they bring up Bowie's very prominent crotch.

Lauren is back to finish the original Descendants DCOM trilogy. The story is whatever, the wigs are insane, and Uma was always right.

We're heading back to Bob's Burgers to discuss two episodes where one has an epic musical moment, and the other has a song about butts. Lauren is back to talk about Bob's Burgers, and she entices Jon to potentially do another episode.

We're doing it. Ashley is back to get into a deep discussion about mental health and musical theatre. This is Jon's first time seeing the show, but the Riverdale episode is pretty close to this show's plot, right?

We're doing something a little different this episode: Jon got in touch with comedian Emily Wilson about her special, and got to live his Oprah fantasy and interview her about the making of her special, her time on The X Factor, and somehow kept his composure the whole time (not really).

The movie title lies - it is not the first nudie musical. However, it is somewhat funny (1970s comedy, everyone - grain of salt). Jim is back to talk about dongs, boobs, and potential parody.

Jon and Roland are confused about this not biopic. They love the historic figure of Hans Christian Andersen and Danny Kaye is an amazing actor outside of this movie, just something was off and the two were feeling very meh about this movie.

Scott's back to talk about the Peter Dinklage led Cyrano. He's more interested in talking about The National, while Jon is more interested in the historical figure.

We're heading to Ponyland this episode (not Equestria)! Blanche is back to finish the My Little Pony movie trilogy (sort of) to talk about G1 Ponies. Jon has some theories about this movie, and the two discuss one annoying Pony that the movie focused too much on.

Happy milestone episode, everyone! Sierra and Pete came up with this idea to live react while watching a movie, and they picked a very historical film that unfortunately the colorized print does not exist anymore. However, the show must go on and with Jon they had a blast doing this. If you want to watch the video episode here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wN1Z_rqHbE Sierra’s Instag...

We're heading back to musical biopics this episode, but with a serious one told in a not so serious manner. Jon and Shady can't get over the CGI chimp in this movie, and also realize they know Robbie Williams's music more than they initially thought.

We head back to 1960s New York City to check in on Judy Holliday and this part that was written specifically for her. Marc educates Jon on some of the Easter eggs in this movie/show, while Jon didn't do his homework.

Jon is on his path of redemption with Kevin because of the last episode he was on. However, the two giggle throughout this episode and movie because it's just so damn funny. They discuss "Weird Al's" discography, the cast of this movie, and how stupid this movie is.

We're finally doing this! Jon is so excited and cannot shut up about the 2011 Broadway revival he saw even though we're here to talk about the 2017 West End revival. And of course Aaron has thoughts.

Jon managed to convince another podcast to do a crossover episode of Voyage of the Rock Aliens. Bestie of the pod Mary joins us with her husband/co-host/new guest Tyler to get into one of Jon's new favorite movies. Jon tries to help them makes sense of this film.

Jon and Robyn head back to this new Disney classic film this episode. They try to figure out what the hypothetical stage version of this would be, while upset that Idina Menzel (not her character Nancy, but Idina herself) does not have a song in this movie.

Order in the court! Judge Colden Lamb is putting Jon on trial for the First Chance of Mrs. Santa Claus. Is Jon guilty of being the worst podcast host? Is this a one sided argument? Is "Avenue A" actually good?

We can't seem to leave the Dust Bowl era just yet. Battles is back to take us on a very famous quest that Jon only read the Wikipedia page, that allegedly the Coen brothers did not even read but a lot of things match up - Homer's The Odyssey. But they also talk about the movie in general. Battles’ Instagram: @embattz Our Bar Instagram: @ourbarnyc Charms 4 Less Instagram/TikTok: @charms4lessseries...

Scott's back to go on a road trip back to 1995 where we revisit A Goofy Movie. Do Scott and Jon see "I2I"? How many times will they refer to the documentary Not Just a Goof? Goofy's name is really Goofy Goof?

Shady's back to take us to the West Side of NYC circa 1957, where we're stepping into Steven Spielberg's first musical movie and a remake to boot. She and Jon just love this movie! Also, Jon managed to get one of the Shark girls as a special guest to tell us how she got cast and some fun stories from set.

Arianna is back to kick off another Second Chance month! This time we head to 1950s New York City to talk about the men cast as singing gamblers, the music of the stage version that were cut for the movie and what was added in it's place, and some stuff that were left out of the First Chance.
