Hello, Dolly! (1969) dir. Gene Kelly 05.12.2017 1:39:50
We've been away from the lights of 14th Street and in our own personal haze - but we're back! And in a stunning new gown! Our very good friend Molly is here to help us pick apart this iconic movie musical - the good, the bad, and the diva. Is "Hello, Dolly!" the perfect song to walk down the aisle to? Why do they not actually listen to the drunk guy in the park? And does the Harmonia Gardens scene...
The Last Five Years (2014) dir. Richard LaGravenese 02.07.2016 1:47:13
Your favorite gays are back with a really, really, really late episode! Take a listen as we dish on how the stars are too pretty for words, how it's really hard making the most depressing musical imaginable funny, and how our time management skills are garbage!

The Music Man (1962) dir. Morton DaCosta 26.01.2016 1:35:11
Get those band instruments, boys! Our latest episode is on the American treasure we all know and love as THE MUSIC MAN. Watch as a swindling con artist takes over an unsuspectingly simple town and manages to corrupt the minds of the little boys with his deviously patented "Think System" as well as wooing the local harlot of the library. Too harsh? Okay, how about enjoy the musical that community t...
Dreamgirls (2006) dir. Bill Condon 10.01.2016 1:30:15
This week we bring you our thoughts and feelings on 2006's Dreamgirls starring Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce Knowles, and Eddie Murphy. You'll hear us dish about why this is Eddie's greatest film role, fashion in the 60s and 70s, as well as how MySpace in 2006 revolved around this film (for us, at least). And of course we answer who Patina Miller would play! Please rate, review, and subscribe on iTunes...
The Wizard of Oz (1939) dir. Victor Fleming 07.12.2015 1:07:59

Jersey Boys (2014) dir. Clint Eastwood 24.11.2015 1:16:01
Who's gonna love you BABY? We will! Because amidst through all the whirlwind weekend we have had in Indiana, we managed to record a podcast (mostly unedited, so have fun with that) and upload it while the family bakes Christmas cookies. Enjoy our little slice-of-life recording of Clint Eastwood's macho manly man movie musical JERSEY BOYS! We dish on how much we love their high voices, and of cours...
Bye Bye Birdie (1963) dir. George Sidney 11.11.2015 1:07:51
The army's got you know, Birdie! Wear your favorite monochromatic outfit because we've got a lot of living to do! Enjoy as we dish on the campiness, the political incorrectness, and the Ann-Margretiness of the 1963 smash hit. But nothing, and I mean nothing, can compare to our Paul Lynde impressions. And as always, we talk about what role Patina Miller would play, and we rate this movie compared t...
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) dir. Tim Burton 25.10.2015 1:07:17
SWEEEEEEEHEEEENEY! SWEENEY TODD! The demon barber of Fleet... STREET! Listen to our spooky Halloween episode as we tackle and take down the gruesomely awesome Sondheim movie musical. No one is safe in this episode, especially the breathy former domestic partner of Tim Burton. And, as always, we talk about who Patina Miller would play in the remake! "Best Revival of a Podcast: Showgays" is a...
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "Once More, with Feeling" (2001) dir. Joss Whedon 09.10.2015 1:09:12
We are giving you something to sing about this week. That's right, Whedonites... We are reviewing the famous musical episode of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER! Listen as we talk about Buffy's head voice, Tara's medieval garb, and why this is making us create an XY axis of movie-musicals. And, of course, we tell you who Patina Miller would play in a remake. Thanks for the continued support, but we could...
Rent (2005) dir. Chris Columbus 25.09.2015 1:10:34
How do you measure a year in the life? How about LOVE?!?!?!?!? That's right, it's every questioning 13-year old's favorite musical, RENT! Listen as Adam & RJ breaks down the cult movie phenomenon, how it stacks up to the original version, and what makes it so damn good. We talk about Idina's Idina-ness, and how they get a lot of things but still miss the mark in other things. And I'm sure you'...
A Chorus Line (1985) dir. Richard Attenborough 12.09.2015 1:03:15
Let's make a lot of music, you and I! This week, we explore the bottom of our movie-musical range in the "burst of inspiration" that is A CHORUS LINE! Listen as we angrily explain why our meter of movie musicals uses this movie as the zero. Whomp whomp. And of course, we close the show with "Who Would Patina Miller Play in A Chorus Line?" "Best Revival of a Podcast: Showgays" is a podcast in...
The Sound of Music (1965) dir. Robert Wise 31.08.2015 1:08:41
