HAPPY (almost) NEW YEAR! Aaron's back to talk about this odd Rankin and Bass movie, where Baby New Year is being bullied. We're conflicted, but we're also closing out our winter holiday themed movie until next December!Aaron's Socials: @trueaaronchoiPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: A Star is Born (2018)!
To celebrate our 400th episode we had to do an equally epic movie to match this monumental milestone. Jon managed to get the standby witches on Wicked to discuss this phenomenal movie. What do you think will happen in Wicked: Part Two, or is it Wicked: For Good?Podcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongoidTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Rudolph's Shiny New Year!
We finally conclude our coverage on the Lives with The Grinch. Jon and Colden both have emotional ties to this property but in different ways - Jon grew up with the animated movie, and Colden grew up watching the stage version. Spoiler alert: they both didn't like this.Colden's Social -Instagram: @coldenlambWebsite: www.coldenlamb.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ColdenLambA Marc Blitzstein Archive YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BlitzsteinArchivePodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongoidTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Wicked: Part One!
We're joined by a new guest, Brent Watkins, who has strong ties to the touring stage version of A Christmas Story. He tells us some stories from his years with the show, and he and Jon somewhat talk about the live. Let's be real - we're here for the stories!Podcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Musical!
Marc is back to talk Christmas time with Jon by bringing the stop motion musical version of Elf. They talk about the recent (as of December 2024) revival of Elf, the original movie, and the wild style of the stop motion animation.Marc's Instagram: @bwayghostlightMarc's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@broadwaybyghostlightPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: A Christmas Story Live!
Diana is back to lightly inject Christmas into our Winter Holiday Season episodes. Jon has some strong points that he's not willing to budge on, but Diana luckily agrees with him...mostly.Diana’s Instagram: @dianastasiaDiana’s Facebook: @dianadicostanzoDiana’s Website: www.dianadicostanzo.comPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas!
We continue our Winter Holiday Season episodes with a movie that new guest Casey thinks is the better in the franchise: Frozen II. She and Jon discuss the queer "undertones," try to figure out the timeline, and are listening to Panic! At The Disco's version of "Into the Unknown" on repeat.The Afictionados' Linktree: https://linktr.ee/theafictionadosCasey's Letterboxd/Twitter/Serialzied: @caseywatchestvPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey!
Happy winter time! And we're finally covering that icy princess who accidentally killed her sister (twice?) with guest Robyn Jeffrey of The Afictionados Podcast in her first solo episode.

We're going to court, but not like the one in Chicago. Jon and Sierra here to figure out who's lying, decipher what type of affairs are happening in this movie, and they try to figure out how to remake this movie and make it more musical. Oh, and Gene Kelly is here.Sierra’s Instagram: @sierrareinMarquee Five: @marqueefivePodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Frozen!
We got the band back together to talk about a variety show's house band that is one of the legendary bands that existed...in the world of the Muppets.Writer’s Bagel Basket Socials Instagram: @writersbagelbasketHell Is A Musical Socials Instagram: @hellisamusicalWhen Scary Met Stabby Instagram: @whenscarymetstabbyShady's Instagram/Twitter: @cookieoshadyPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Les Girls!
Hee-haw! We're going out West! Battles and Jon join the Mousekewitz family to follow a new dream but with the same beats as the first movie.

In a very special episode, Jon got in touch with the director of this docu-film, Shannon Walsh, to discuss that this isn't a musical but should be a musical. It's truly a movie about love, and Shannon gives some behind the scenes stories about the process of making this film.And we got SLee on the pod!Shannon's Links: https://linktr.ee/shannondawnwalsh?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=e36123ac-6a46-4cdf-a25e-f9a1aee6532aSLee's Instagram: @justcallmesleeAdrianne & the Castle Links: https://linktr.ee/AdrianneAndtheCastle?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=d2332228-0d79-4fbd-a542-0c37eb539a6ePodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongoidTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: An American Tail: Fievel Goes West!
Colden brings us a long forgotten by most people (not Colden, obviously) epically long Disney movie about an eccentric millionaire in Philadelphia who owned alligators. That's a better summary than the one on IMDb in our opinion.Colden's Social -Instagram: @coldenlambWebsite: www.coldenlamb.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ColdenLambA Marc Blitzstein Archive YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BlitzsteinArchivePodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongoidTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Adrianne & the Castle!
Jon got two-thirds of The Love of Cinema Podcast to talk about this epic movie! Jeff and John share personal stories they have associated with this movie, and the three keep giving the Coen brothers and Roger Deakins love for their brillianceThe Love of Cinema Socials: https://linktr.ee/theloveofcinemaPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: The Happiest Millionaire!
Not a musical, but still very important to talk about. Jon gets on his Judy soapbox, while Tommy tries to reel him in to discuss the movie. Also, this is one of Jon's favorite novels, so he brings it up a lot. Like, A LOT.Tommy's Socials: @spectroplutoPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: O Brother, Where Art Thou?
We're heading back to the early days of television to visit I Love Lucy. Michael returns to talk about all things Lucille Ball beyond this episode, while Jon tries to remember what is happening in this episode.Michael's Instagram: @michaelvalvo1The Old Souls Club Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Vah5gHSDVD30IfamnqXt3?utm_medium=share&utm_source=linktreePodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Valley of the Dolls!
Welcome to Equestria! Blanche takes Jon into the realm of My Little Pony where the two discuss the latest movie in great detail. The blatant message/theme of the movie isn't missed by them, and Jon discusses how Hasbro is just trying to sell toys.Blanche's Instagram: @serpentsharkladyThe Afictionados Links: https://linktr.ee/theafictionadosPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: I Love Lucy - "Lucy Goes to Scotland"!
We close out spooky season with a foreign film centered around murderous mermaids. Jim is back to remind Jon to not think too hard about the fantasy science, and also complain about how this isn't an opera (which Jon agrees with). All the while, they discuss the L-O-R-E of mermaids. Happy Halloween!Film Rage Socials: @filmrageyycPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: My Little Pony: A New Generation!
We go to what Lauren calls the "in between" this episode to see a chamber choir from Canada compete to come back to life...like Cats.Lauren’s Instagram: @lagizz_sangsPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: The Lure!
We turn to a classic tale and a classic Disney short this episode. Shady introduces to Jon one of her favorite spooky season films. And there's a lot of speculation for this open ended movie.Shady's Twitter: @cookieoshadyMovie Deja Vu's Socials -Instagram: @moviedejavupodTwitter: @moviedejavuPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: The Boys form Syracuse!
