Oh boy. Jon really is torturing Kevin with his picks/suggestions. However, this one wasn't as terrible as the others - it has potential to be something if they were able to add extra oomph! But Sadie Sink and Kelvin Harrison Jr. are electric in this post apocalyptic fantasy YA story.Kevin's Link: https://linktr.ee/kevinwatchesmoviesPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Frozen: The Hit Broadway Musical!
Jon really hates himself for picking this one. But he is glad he's in good company...even though he feels guilty for torturing Kendra and Scott (kinda).When Scary Met Stabby Instagram: @whenscarymetstabbyWriter’s Bagel Basket Socials Instagram: @writersbagelbasketHell Is A Musical Socials Instagram: @hellisamusicalCrushgasm's Links: https://linktr.ee/CrushgasmPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: O'Dessa!
It's time to seize the day with a new guest! Host of the Assembly Guide podcast, Alicia joins the pool of guests this episode with a banger of a movie! She and Jon talk a lot in this episode about choreography, bringing down The Man, and Christian Bale's accent work.Alicia's Instagram: @alicia_newcomAssembly Guide Instagram: @assemblyguidePodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodYouTube: @butasongpodNext episode: Newsies (1992)!
What would happen if you woke up and almost everyone in the world didn't know who The Beatles were? Well, this movie answers that question. And Jon brought back Sam after 413 episodes to break down this movie.Samantha’s Instagram: @samlb777Podcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodYouTube: @butasongpodNext episode: Newsies (1992)!
We head back to 1960s (via 1996) in this iconic film about a one hit wonder band that surprisingly has a lot of original songs in it. Just by looking at the title, do you hear the titular song?Marc's Instagram: @bwayghostlightMarc's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@broadwaybyghostlightPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Yesterday!
Jon joins the forces of Aaron and Jay to talk about this hidden gem that is also very problematic. In the episode, they discuss the stage version's changes, tap dancing elevator, and how Carol Channing is the A plot.Beards and Sundries (kick ass) Website: https://beardsandsundries.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaf_PAqW-08AQuDRO8ocIF8wwYgQCaNOEnOLsJs-Nm5ASBJgDVT0nQl6LWmh6A_aem_fo66Huu5s0Ivb5kWPLSN4QAaron's Socials: @trueaaronchoiAaron's Twitch: @truechoistoryPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: That Thing You Do!
Jon took a big swing with this pick - he's basing this off of How Did This Get Made. Joined with bestie Jayson, the two propose a stage version, go off on various tangents (unsurprisingly), and laugh their way through the episode.Jayson’s Instagram: @jaysonlkerrPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Thoroughly Modern Millie!
Jon thought he hit a home run with this selection - Roland plus Cole Porter, what could possible go wrong?Roland's Instagram: @rolandrusinekHelluva Boss: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-uopgYBi65HwiiDR9Y23lomAkGr9mm-SPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Rhinestone!
We kick off another month of Jon's Picks with a movie that we're all surprised hasn't been covered yet. Joined by bestie of the pod Arianna, Jon heads back to the Styne/Sondheim classic about a stage mom who may or may not have had some narcissistic tendencies, while everyone around her is trying to protect her in some way, shape, or form.Arianna’s Socials -Instagram/TikTok: @ladyaria_Website: www.ariannaarmon.comPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: De-Lovely!
Welcome back to the early 2000s, where comedy was weird, people don't understand the geography of New York City, and the era of Michael Cera. Scott brings his When Scary Met Stabby co-host CB onto the pod for the first time, and they with Jon discuss how this should have been a musical. Would it work on stage?When Scary Met Stabby Instagram: @whenscarymetstabbyWriter’s Bagel Basket Socials Instagram: @writersbagelbasketHell Is A Musical Socials Instagram: @hellisamusicalOld Men Yell at Cloud Instagram: @oldmenyellatcloudPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Gypsy (1993)!
Mary and Steven are back to talk more about Oklahoma! But this time it's the film version! They plus Jon have a very different read on the show because the movie felt very different - potentially because of the changes made...? But the trio liked the movie.From the Top! link: https://linktr.ee/fromthetoppodcastMisery Loves Movies Instagram: @miserylovesmoviespodPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist!
We welcome new guest to the pod Meghan who brings a strong first episode! In a movie that you probably haven't heard of but with an all star cast she and Jon discuss the fragile male ego, Kate Winslet, and the choice of how the songs are "sung."Thesis on Joan Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thesisonjoan?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafdJOu5nS04D9DBXpseNmXXOJPukI3THwrYFAgFKrWbJjsnC9b4THEUERgY4w_aem_TDJB2VeDmSf7rLpZdMWOdgPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Oklahoma! (1955)!
We head back in the world of Jim Henson this episode with Tyler, who is a David Bowie expert (which Jon forgot), to revisit Labyrinth. They discuss their theories as to what's actually happening, Tyler brings some outsider knowledge about this movie and it's novelization, and they bring up Bowie's very prominent crotch.Tyler's Instagram: @tylerhenryactorPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Romance & Cigarettes!
Lauren is back to finish the original Descendants DCOM trilogy. The story is whatever, the wigs are insane, and Uma was always right.The Cameron Boyce Foundation: https://www.thecameronboycefoundation.org/Lauren's Instagram/TikTok: @lxurengitisCinema Sistas Podcast Instagram: @cinemasistaspodcastMum School: A Blue Podcast Instagram: @mumschoolpodPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Labyrinth (SCT #41)!
We're heading back to Bob's Burgers to discuss two episodes where one has an epic musical moment, and the other has a song about butts. Lauren is back to talk about Bob's Burgers, and she entices Jon to potentially do another episode.Lauren’s Instagram: @lagizz_sangsPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Descendants 3!
We're doing it. Ashley is back to get into a deep discussion about mental health and musical theatre. This is Jon's first time seeing the show, but the Riverdale episode is pretty close to this show's plot, right?Ashley Evans: @shleebaleePodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Bob's Burgers - "Art Crawl"/"Topsy"!
We're doing something a little different this episode: Jon got in touch with comedian Emily Wilson about her special, and got to live his Oprah fantasy and interview her about the making of her special, her time on The X Factor, and somehow kept his composure the whole time (not really).Emily's Website: https://www.therealemilywilson.com/Podcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Next to Normal (2024 West End Production)!
The movie title lies - it is not the first nudie musical. However, it is somewhat funny (1970s comedy, everyone - grain of salt). Jim is back to talk about dongs, boobs, and potential parody.Film Rage Socials: @filmrageyyPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: FIXED: How I Got REJECTED by Reality TV!
Jon and Roland are confused about this not biopic. They love the historic figure of Hans Christian Andersen and Danny Kaye is an amazing actor outside of this movie, just something was off and the two were feeling very meh about this movie.Roland's Instagram: @rolandrusinekHelluva Boss: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-uopgYBi65HwiiDR9Y23lomAkGr9mm-SPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: The First Nudie Musical!
Scott's back to talk about the Peter Dinklage led Cyrano. He's more interested in talking about The National, while Jon is more interested in the historical figure.Writer’s Bagel Basket Socials Instagram: @writersbagelbasketHell Is A Musical Socials Instagram: @hellisamusicalWhen Scary Met Stabby Instagram: @whenscarymetstabbyPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Hans Christian Andersen!
