#262 - Brigadoon
Season 1 · Episode 262
Thursday, September 14, 2023 • Duration 01:06:36
Brace yourself as we dissect the rules governing Brigadoon, the peculiar village that has been Fiona's home since the 1700s. We discuss the mind-boggling concept of Brigadoon appearing only once every hundred years and its ability to be accessed by outsiders only when they're in love. Are you ready to learn more about the 1966 movie version of Brigadoon or the unpredictable trials and tribulations of Tommy and Jeff in Shmigadoon, Brigadoon's counterpart? We've got all that and more, including an intriguing look at a possible alternate universe fanfic.
The episode concludes with a harmonious exploration of Brigadoon's impressive musical score. We unpack the charm of unforgettable tracks like Fiona's 'I Want a Laddie', Charlie's 'Go Home With Bonnie Jean', and the heart-rending 'There But For You Go I'. Finally, we rank Lerner and Lowe musicals and share our mixed feelings about Brigadoon. Oh, and did we mention an unexpected detour through the Columbo episode Agenda for Murder? All this packed into one episode! So, come along and join us on this magical musical journey.

#260 - Bye Bye Birdie
Season 1
Thursday, August 31, 2023 • Duration 54:54
Join us, Jesse and Andrew, on a fascinating tour of the iconic musical, Bye Bye Birdie. We guarantee you an enlightening journey as we trace the musical's journey from stage to screen, highlighting the original concept and its transformation to include the Elvis Presley draft plot. We'll discuss the Broadway production that ran for over 600 shows and the subsequent changes made to accommodate the movie's star, Anne Margaret. Penetrating the surface, we'll uncover the more subtle aspects including the whitewashing of characters and the shift in focus on the musical's storyline.
As we dissect the film adaptation, you'll gain an understanding of the various alterations that occurred, such as the introduction of the now iconic song 'Bye Bye Birdie'. We'll evaluate the restructuring of the narrative to focus more on Ed Sullivan and critique the 1960s reviews and critical response. Together, we'll lay bare the impact of these changes on the overall structure and reception of the musical.
Moving to the musical numbers, we'll dissect the lyrics of songs like "How Lovely to Be a Woman", examining the questionable message it sends across in the movie. We'll ponder over the darker implications behind the musical number 'Kids' and question the decision to omit certain plot lines from the film. Finally, we'll wrap up with our personal rating of the movie, and what we think about it. So sit back, relax, and let's explore Bye Bye Birdie together.
