Life's But A Song

Unbeknownst to Jon, Kendra is a huge Alvin and the Chipmunks fan. He had a simple thought for these Picks, but hit gold with Kendra's knowledge.

We're doing opera again, and hopefully Jon didn't mess up with picking Arianna to be the guest this episode. The two delve into the world of The Tales of Hoffmann, discussing love and loss, and the wild choices made in this film. Jon also reached out to Lauren to give more context for the opera, and hopefully see if his wild theories hold water. Arianna’s Socials - Instagram/TikTok: @ladyaria_ Web...

Welcome to Jon's Picks! He really wanted to do this movie because of his Millennial blood, and figured Matt Koplik would have a strong opinion on it...and Jon was right.

We're delving into our first Disney animated sequel where Jon doesn't understand how these new characters magically fit into this world. He and Blanche argue a lot, but have come to the same conclusion that the first movie is iconic.

It's still Christmas in July and what better way than to talk about the first opera written for television about the three wise men. Colden is back to bring light to this opera to the masses, and hopefully have a production with one of our modern day opera superstars (hello Audra). And even though we watched the 1955 telecast, it is apparently the same as the original 1951 telecast. Colden's Socia...

Lauren comes back to the pod to talk about the afterlife...sort of. Both she and Jon haven't seen this movie before, but Lauren knows the songs because of the stage show. Things also get a little weird this recording because the two have lost their minds.

We got the band back together to nerd out about Stagedoor Manor whilst talking about a DCOM that they all didn't like. Except for those trumpet juice dispensers - where can we get those?

This is the best live in Jon's humble opinion. From the simplistic grandeur of the set, to the phenomenal cast (except for maybe one...), this is one beautiful rock opera with a kick ass score!
