| Ep. 377 - Stranger Sings: The Parody Musical (2023) (w/ Steven Hrubes and Mary Williams) | 07 Oct 2024 | 01:22:13 | |
We continue our journey into spooky season by heading to 1980s Hawkins, Indiana with those Stranger Things characters but in a parody musical. Joined by Mary and Steven from From the Top, the three praise the writer, laugh with the references, and are just in awe of "Barb's Turn."

| Ep. 376 - Skulhedface (1994) (w/ Dan Allen) | 03 Oct 2024 | 01:12:58 | |
Dan comes back with his first pick being the GWAR cult classic Skulhedface. He's a little trepidatious because he doesn't know how Jon feels about it because this is new territory for him.

| Ep. 367 - The Wind in the Willows (2018) (w/ Aaron Choi) | 02 Sep 2024 | 01:03:30 | |
Aaron is back to talk about a very pure show that may or may not have some...undertones (Ratty and Mole are "just friends"). However the design of the show is really cool and minimal, but Aaron has some notes on the book and the music.

| Ep. 277 - Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3 (2022) (w/ Shady) | 23 Oct 2023 | 01:19:29 | |
Jon and Shady have it out this episode - Jon loves this movie, while Shady doesn't. However, they both agree that the choreography is spectacular and most of the costumes are amazing (Shady has strong thoughts on the aliens' legging). Oh yeah: we welcome aliens to the wolf pack.

| Ep. 276 - Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 2 (2020) (w/ Shady) | 19 Oct 2023 | 01:10:32 | |
Welcome back to Seabrook, where Addison feels lost because of her hair, we re-learn American history because the history books are "surprisingly" wrong, and the lackluster feel to this movie...but with like two banger songs and performances!

| Ep. 275 - Z-O-M-B-I-E-S (2018) (w/ Shady) | 16 Oct 2023 | 01:06:55 | |
We're going down a different path for spooky season - Jon and Shady team up for the next few episodes to deconstruct the not-so-subtle metaphors in the Z-O-M-B-I-E-S franchise. But with banger music and fire choreography, as the kids say.

| Ep. 274 - Scared Stiff (1953) (w/ Sierra Rein) | 12 Oct 2023 | 01:02:39 | |
Jon messed up again. Thinking that this might be a fun movie to do with Sierra without watching it before assigning it, Jon would like to apologize (again) to Sierra, her husband, her cat, and any of you who've watched this movie. The two rip it to shreds in this episode, rightfully so.

| Ep. 273 - A Very Potter Senior Year (2013) (w/ Steven Hrubes and Mary Williams) | 09 Oct 2023 | 01:22:19 | |
To kick off our Halloween-y episodes Jon is joined with fellow podcasters Steven and Mary to finish the Starkid Harry Potter trilogy almost a year after they started. They travel back to 2013 to a weird con (maybe?) where the cast performed a staged reading of this show that is all over the place. But, it does offer some closure to this chapter of Starkid. What should they do next?

| Ep. 272 - My Fair Lady (1964) (w/ Lauren Gismondi) | 05 Oct 2023 | 01:08:41 | |
Oof! Buckle up kids! Jon is not happy but doesn't try to rain too much on Lauren's parade. Even though the two agree that there are problems in this movie, the songs is where they disagree. Also, Jon and Lauren were in a production of My Fair Lady in high school and they reminisce/therapize their experience.

We're going back to France, and this time Jon's computer didn't get an STI! Roland introduced to Jon this French "opera" where it's a trope-y love story but with a twist! Also, the wallpapers!

| Ep. 270 - Kiss Me, Kate (1953) (w/ Marc Bonanni and Rebecca Edmunds) | 28 Sep 2023 | 01:01:55 | |
This episode Jon paired Marc Bonanni and Rebecca Edmunds to tackle Kiss Me, Kate. The three share a personal memory/memories to this movie and/or show, as well as witness the birth of Bob Fosse's style and Howard Keel play yet another problematic character (le sigh).

| Ep. 269 - The Legend of the Stardust Brothers (1985) (w/ Chris Barker and Gary Cruise) | 25 Sep 2023 | 01:07:26 | |
We're branching out into international musical movies this episode by heading to 1980s Japan! Jon twisted Chris's and Gary's arms (not really) to rewatch the amazing movie that is The Legend of the Stardust Brothers, and much like the movie this episode goes all over the place: from pop stars, to unfortunate news about some of the actors, to a reveal that no one would see coming if this was their first viewing.

She's back! And so is Mary Poppins! Colden joins us this episode to delve into the world of the Banks family in the 1930s - can you imagine that?

| Ep. 366 - Soundtrack: Season 1 (w/ Nick Bombicino) | 29 Aug 2024 | 01:08:21 | |
To close off Jon's Picks, Jon managed to coerce Nick to watch this one season show that is very interesting...on paper. They compare it to its competitor at the time (Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist) and just wonder why they decided to make this a musical?

Everyone welcome back to the podcast: Diana DiCostanzo! She and Jon go back in time to talk about a nanny who is gifted and helps the father and his children reconcile their relationship by the power of song. No, it's not the Second Chance of The Sound of Music - it's Mary Poppins! The other nanny movie that Dame Julie Andrews stars in!

We're going on an adventure so Jayson must be the guest! He and Jon break down the 2005 Lincoln Center performance of Candide, which is the only version Jon has seen, and Jon has some wild theories this episode.

We're tapping back to Sierra and Gene Kelly this episode, but in fun and interesting ways! From traditional, to roller-skates, to garbage can lids, this potential sequel to On the Town is a fun ride!

This episode takes a hard turn as a twist is revealed within the first five minutes - one of the guests hasn't seen Rent before! In this episode, Jon basically lives vicariously through this person's fresh eyes to one of Jon's favorite musicals.

Oh Ken Russell, you did it again. Jim comes back to discuss this work of art - there's no other way to describe it. He and Jon break down the elements that are presented to them, Jon has a wild theory that may actually hold some water, and dicks.

Tyler's back to talk about another trippy movie that both he and Jon just love, and how can you not? The two explore further into the potential symbolism that Ken Russell added, "Cousin Kevin," and the cameos. It's a total love fest for this movie.

Fosse's back, but this time it's "not Fosse." Jon, John, and Mark dive into the semi-autobiopic of Bob Fosse discussing his muses (Ann Reinking! Leland Palmer!), get into "Airotica" and whatever this musical is, and talk about their love of the choreography.

Jon reached out to fellow podcasters Danielle and Tony, who host Point Your Toes, to discuss the iconic 1933 film version of 42nd Street. The trio discuss the histories of tap dance, theatre histories, the movie's "modern" commentary, and the period of the film's release, while also talking about the stage version.

On their way to talk about season two of Schmigadoon, Jon and guest Jaclyn found Schmicago, a grittier era in musical theatre where the type of shows were all over the place and darker, but also all have to deal with loss and finding oneself. Jon also talks to one of the associate choreographers and learns some more about their process.

It's time to ring them bells again because Jayson is back on the pod to talk about Liza with a Z (not Lisa with an S).

It's Christmas in July folks, and Battles is back to dive into Rankin and Bass's filmography to do the movie she initially wanted to do! From yellow-green eyes to other fantasy movies/books that are referenced in this movie to Sheigra, the two blast through this movie real quick. And to call it a musical is giving it too much credit.

Even though this is an amazing movies, the two talk in great lengths about their favorite moments, still have questions to how these filmmakers did things, and plug The Oz Vlog a lot. Jon also asks himself, Roland, and 30 special guests, "What does The Wizard of Oz mean to you?" Jon would love to hear from you! What does the Wizard of Oz mean to you?

We're staying in France this episode, but traveling back in time to the French Revolution. Lauren comes back to revisit Les Misérables because she wants to shed some light onto the show and to actually talk about moments in the movie that we may have not talked about in the First Chance.

Shady's back and she picked a doozy! She and Jon dive deep into this movie to question what the symbolism of things mean, come up with wild theories as to what they watched, and Jon focuses on how creepy the dolls are while Shady loves them.

Jon picked this masterpiece of a film to share with Jayson, and the two giggled their way through this episode because the movie is insane.

In an epic cross-over event, two podcasts come together to discuss one of Disney's meh movies from their Renaissance Period - Hercules. Jon and the hosts of the podcast Not My Fantasy recorded over three hours of content that talks about the lore of Hercules, the Disney-fication of it, and the music, focusing mostly on the latter on this podcast.

Matt comes back to do his first Second Chance Theatre episode, and he picked a banger of a movie to discuss. He schools Jon (and maybe you) on his knowledge on the history of the show and the movie, while also loving the lightning that Rob Marshall caught in a bottle. This movie is perfect.

This episode is not sponsored by Jon's memories and stories of his time working at Stagedoor Manor, though it may seem like that. Fellow podcaster Dustin chose a movie that ends our Pride month episodes, but also brings out some of Jon's memories. They do talk about the movie at points, but mostly Jon and Dustin have a conversation around the movie and where this hit them in their lives.

As we continue with our Pride episodes, Jon forces Gary and Chris to watch a questionable early 2000s gay movie after they invited him onto their podcast to talk about a masterpiece. The three get angry at this movie at various points of the episode, and don't understand the title. Oh, and there are songs in this movie. The Horror. Cult. Trash. Other.

| Ep. 241 - Victor/Victoria (1982) (w/ Roland Rusinek) | 19 Jun 2023 | 01:00:02 | |
We're kicking off our Pride episodes with Dame Julie Andrews conning the people of 1930s Paris to believe that she is playing a man who is (in modern terms) a drag queen. Jon and friend of the pod Roland break down this movie by discussing gender, their relationships with this movie/stage version, and the importance of this movie.

| Ep. 240 - Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) (w/ Kevin Sluder) | 15 Jun 2023 | 01:08:02 | |
Jon brings on a new guest (Kevin Sluder) to accidentally torture him with this sequel that no one asked for. The two drag this movie through the mud while asking, "Why were you made?" On the up side: the music is fire (as the kids say).

| Ep. 239 - The Blues Brothers (1980) (w/ Sam Smit and Matan Schahar) | 12 Jun 2023 | 00:59:40 | |
We got the band back together and remembered this movie very differently. Jon, Sam and Matan, after a series of tangents, break down the iconic moments of the classic The Blues Brothers, while questioning some choices that Dan Aykroyd made, but also wanting to read his original script. And the three can't help but bring up The Fast and the Furious a lot.

| Ep. 238 - Hair (1979) (w/ Tyler Henry) | 08 Jun 2023 | 01:04:41 | |
This is the dawning of this podcast finally covering Hair! Returning guest Tyler stepped away from talking about Maxwell Caulfield, and comes back on to discuss his background and knowledge of the musical Hair with Jon. They kind of talk about the movie, but each share personal stories. Because of Hair.

| Ep. 363 - Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982) (w/ Dan Allen) | 19 Aug 2024 | 01:02:32 | |
Jon brought on a new guest, and thought he was giving Dan a treat. Turns out, Jon (once again) misremembered the movie. But the two managed to talk through some of the things, and maybe figured out what the movie is about?

| Ep. 236 - The Little Mermaid (2023) (w/ Kendra Beltran) | 01 Jun 2023 | 01:01:43 | |
Kendra's back to dive under the sea to discuss the Disney remake of The Little Mermaid. Do we want this to be part of our world? Are we in wild uncharted waters with this new version? What's the scuttlebutt on those poor unfortunate souls who hated this movie? Jon and Kendra might answer these questions in the episode, or Jon was just having fun with the song titles.
