Over a year later Dustin makes a triumphant return to the pod to continue with this series. He and Jon head back to East High to check in with the gang where they are putting up the spring musical, Beauty and the Beast. How are the new characters and new songs?

Tyler's back to revisit this cult musical that may or may not be the sequel/equal to Rocky Horror Picture Show. He helps Jon understand some of the details that Jon clearly missed, get into some more of Rocky Horror Shows His Heels, and the two rock out with this soundtrack that was shoehorned to fit this new script.Tyler's Instagram: @tylerhenryactorPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Helluva Boss: Season 1!

And they spoil the crap out of this show, just a head's up.Blanche's Instagram: @blanketjuiceThe Afictionados Links: https://linktr.ee/theafictionadosPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Shock Treatment (SCT #42)!
Out from the center square, Paul Lynde had a Halloween special starring Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch of the West), Witchipoo, and KISS. John is back with this acid trip of a show that Jon doesn't know what he watched.John's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/johnflynn99?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=fe3657de-b941-4ca6-97cd-56cd0d46c45dPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Agatha All Along - Season 1!
It wouldn't be spooky season without representing Phantom of the Opera in some way, and we have Phantom expert Arianna back to talk about this Korean production of the Kopit/Yeston musical. Jon also has a personal story to share that he hopes y'all don't judge him too harshly after hearing it.Arianna’s Socials -Instagram/TikTok: @ladyaria_Website: www.ariannaarmon.comPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: The Paul Lynde Halloween Special!
It's officially spooky on the pod, and the Opera Boys are back with another not opera movie. But this one is set in an opera house. Dario Argento made a little giallo film that is as dramatic as operas can be, but Jon still has a lot of questions.

Jon came super prepared for this one (for once). Joined by Lauren, the two delve into this beautiful story but are disappointed by the lack of singing by these singers. Luckily, Lauren was just in a production of the show and was able to answer some questions that this movie left Jon with. Jon also got in touch with Broadway star NaTasha Yvette Williams who was the first replacement for Sofia in the original Broadway production of The Color Purple to talk more about that character and hear NaTasha's journey with the show.Lauren's Instagram/TikTok: @lxurengitisCinema Sistas Podcast Instagram: @cinemasistaspodcastMum School: A Blue Podcast Instagram: @mumschoolpodNaTasha's Instagram: @natashayvettewilliamsPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Dick Tracy!
We're doing something different this episode! Colden is back to introduce us to a "docu-tainment" movie. It's a clip show of a lot of musical moments from MGM's first 50 years of musical films.

We're riding the Fred Astaire train this episode with Sierra! She and Jon listen to the best of the Gershwins, while watching dancing legends grace our screens with wonderful choreography featuring dancing on roller skates.

Prepare yourselves for an emotional episode. As much as Jon and Roland love this musical, they both cry at it because of the events of 9/11. This show is truly a light on a dark day in American history.Roland's Instagram: @rolandrusinekHelluva Boss: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-uopgYBi65HwiiDR9Y23lomAkGr9mm-SPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: South Park: "Elementary School Musical"/"Broadway Bro Down"!
Aaron's back with a new British musical! It's based off a memoir of mouth artist and motivational speaker Henry Fraser, and how life can change in an instant. Aaron and Jon break down the music (that to Aaron all sounds the same), while praising this show and Henry's art.
