Life's But A Song

A podcast that lives in the land of musicals. I'm joined by a new guest each episode to discuss either musical movies, musical TV series, or the musical episode of a show. https://linktr.ee/Butasongpod

Ep. 330 - Easter Parade (1948) (w/ Lauren Gismondi and Sierra Rein)

Jon accidentally made this Judy Week on the podcast, and Lauren and Sierra are here to break down her only film with Fred Astaire (maybe?).

Ep. 329 - A Star is Born (1954) (w/ Roland Rusinek)

It's all about Judy Garland this episode, and week! Roland and Jon go back to 1950s Hollywood to watch technically the second remake of a movie (out of six?) and discuss their love for this movie (this version) and Judy. Jon goes on his soapbox - you have been warned.Roland's Instagram: @rolandrusinekHelluva Boss: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-uopgYBi65HwiiDR9Y23lomAkGr9mm-SPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Easter Parade!

Ep. 328 - Hazbin Hotel: Season 1 (w/ Scott Kurland)

Welcome to Hell! Scott is back to talk about the mind blowing amazing season that is The Good Place...I mean, Hazbin Hotel!

Ep. 327 - Legally Blonde: The Musical (w/ Steven Hrubes and Mary Williams)

We're doing another crossover! Jon picked this episode to talk with Steven and Mary because he wanted to hear some of their responses to of some of the outdated material in the show. What Jon didn't expect was to giggle the whole episode, hear an in depth origin story of how Mary and Steven met, and to dig deep into this musical.From the Top! link: https://linktr.ee/fromthetoppodcastPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Hazbin Hotel: Season 1!

Ep. 325 - 7th Heaven: "Red Socks" (w/ Gabby Gismondi and Lauren Gismondi)

Jon, Lauren and Gabby are very angry, and they don't know who suggested this garbage episode of television. It's a whodunit with discussions about Stephen Collins, some of their remembrances of the series as a whole, and look back at the time period of this show. Listen to the end to find out who actually suggested it.Gabby's Instagram: @gabsgismondiLauren’s Instagram: @lagizz_sangsPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny!

Ep. 324 - "The Mystic Crystal" (w/ Battles)

Jon hands over the reins of the episode to Battles because the two talk about Ninja Sex Party's "The Mystic Crystal"!

Ep. 323 - The Court Jester (1955) (w/ Colden Lamb)

Colden's back with a comedy movie that is just fine. Nothing crazy, no need to know about an obscure type of theatre - just a run of the mill comedy musical movie. But, because Colden is on things get a little zany.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: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: "The Mythic Crystal"!

Ep. 322 - Anna and the Apocalypse (2017) (SCT #30) (w/ Blanche Daly)

To finish Second Chance Month Jon brings back Blanche Daly in the first of many episodes she'll be in to talk about the best zombie Christmas musical movie ever (and potentially the only one)! Blanche picked this, by the way, and she came very prepared for this episode!Blanche's Instagram: @blanketjuiceThe Afictionados Links: https://linktr.ee/theafictionadosPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: The Court Jester!

Ep. 321 - Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "Once More with Feeling" (SCT #29) (w/ Dustin Holden)

Dustin comes back on to talk about one of the best musical episodes of a non-musical television show ever in Jon's totally non-biased opinion. He and Jon talk about post series literature, speculate what would happen if this was earlier in the series, and break down some aspects of the series.Dustin's Socials: https://linktr.ee/DustinCanReadPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Anna and the Apocalypse (SCT #30)!

Ep. 320 - Annie (1982) (SCT #28) (w/ Arianna Armon)

We've got Annie, again for the fourth time. Arianna joins us in Second Chance Month to talk about the adorable little red headed orphan girl who is very optimistic. She and Jon want to say the movie goes to Rockefeller Center (it doesn't), but also the two discuss what wouldn't be done if this was made today, and Jon wants to know why bring the puppet to the radio station?!?Arianna’s Socials -Instagram/TikTok: @ladyaria_Website: www.ariannaarmon.comDead Man’s Toe Productions Instagram: @dmt.prodPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "Once More with Feeling" (SCT #29)!

Ep. 318 - In the Heights (2021) (SCT #26) (w/ Ashley Evans)

Ashley comes back on to try something different, and to do her first Second Chance episode. She and Jon praise this movie, have a few questions that maybe one of you can answer, and get into the fantasy of this film. Also: how New York-y can two New Yorkers get in one episode?Ashley Evans: @shleebaleePodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Funny Face (SCT #27)!

We're wild and untamed things this episode, where Emily from Fandom on the Rocks is back to revisit The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

We're kicking off Second Chance Month with a movie classic. Jay's back to talk about White Christmas when it's nowhere near the holiday season, because Jon makes the rules!
