This is what dreams are made of! Bestie Sam and new guest Julie are on the pod to bring us back to a simpler time of 2003 and this epic Disney show/movie that Jon has never seen before. Julie and Sam inform Jon on what he missed out from not watching the show, and the trio pitch their ideas for the canceled reboot series.Julie's Instagram: @jshelton16Samantha’s Instagram: @samlb777Podcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodYouTube: @butasongpodNext episode: Dreamgirls (2006)!

This came about when Jon and Jim discussed The First Nudie Musical however many episodes ago, and they discovered this film during that episode.

We're going back to the circus this episode! Colden joins Jon on discussing the first musical based on P.T. Barnum's life starring the one and only Michael Crawford.

Even though Jon and Robyn use a specific production Jon found online as a jumping off point for this episode, they end up talking about the show as a whole.
