Just now had a split second of wanting to watch the 2014 movie because of Emily Blunt, but that was gone the moment I learned James Corden was the narrator...
Great to see the podcast is back for another season! 🎉
harsh but accurate criticism!
gringos sofrendo com a ideia de cafezinho quente KKKKKKKKK
Great podcast lol suggestion for a future episode? Strange Magic - the Worst jukebox musical
Genuinely shocked that Jenny hasn't seen High School Musical 2.
I'd never heard of people having anxiety about where there food came from until I met and talked to some vegetarians and vegans. The people I know who eat meat tend not to worry or care about it
ha - I watched this film for the first time at 35. I was very much not into it. Maybe if I had been able to see it when I was 20 and it first came out. But it physically pained me to watch at 35.
Hamilton is the Prius of musicals. It a cause ribbon. Look at me care about this!
Great episode, but Kaveh dropped a bit too many F bombs for my taste, at least compared to other episodes it was a bit off-putting. Cheers!
The new Taylor Swift song is awesome and she should have received an Oscar nomination for Best Song.
'1776' is pretty good. Three well deserved Tonys. William Daniels rules!
I love listening to you guys❤.
if they don't do an episode on The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals by starkid i-
love this! Thanks!
this is the podcast I've been searching for all my life....
Is the appeal really that mysterious? There are a lot of cat people. A lot of us can spend ages watching our pets do weird things and read cat memes. What if those were an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical? Love the podcast!
this is perfect
i am so goshdarn excited
