Ep. 546 - Yolanda and the Thief (1945) (w/ Roland Rusinek)

It's so nice that we had to do it twice! Jon revived our first milestone episode (500 episodes ago!), but basically quadrupled it. He asked our former guests to come up with musical moments in non musical television shows and films, and 14 of them responded with various and very fun topics. Most of them were a trip down memory lane.Feel free to jump to different segments. This is a long episode, and we're not sorry about it. And be sure to watch it on our YouTube page!(00:00) Intro(01:36) The Office: “Andy’s Play”(12:39) Who Framed Roger Rabbit?(25:03) The First Wives Club(36:43) Stranger Things: “Chapter Eight: The Battle of Starcourt”(50:03) Step Brothers(59:39) Barbie(1:13:43) Jaws(1:23:35) Hail, Caesar!(1:31:56) Phineas & Ferb: “Rollercoaster: The Musical”(1:44:34) Happy Gilmore(1:58:26) Veronica Mars - “Clash of the Tritons”(2:07:51) The Mask(2:20:49) The Golden Girls: “Henny Penny - Straight, No Chaser”(2:33:49) Parks and Recreation: “Li’l Sebastian”(2:45:12) Plugs/Outro(2:55:19) Post credit scenePodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Suffs!

We're closing out AAPI Heritage Month with this little number that is...well...racist. Aaron did choose this one, and Jon had to cover it at some point. Hopefully the latest production that David Henry Hwang rewrote fixed a lot of the issues.Aaron's Socials: @trueaaronchoiAaron's Twitch: @truechoistoryPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Sparkle (1976)!

Picture it: 1989, Long Island. A group of actors come together to create what could be the next big cult classic.

Well, this was...a movie. Roland suggested this one as an episode and he and Jon were very mid on it.

Surprisingly, we're finally doing this! Jon got in touch with fellow podcasters Martha Madrigal and Charles Tyson Jr. to discuss a revival of a musical theatre classic that Jon and Charles have never seen before, but they've definitely heard a lot of these songs. Also, Sutton Foster is a goddess.Full Circle Podcast's Website: https://fullcirclethepod.com/Podcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Yolanda and the Thief!

Professor Aaron Choi is back to take us back to 1940s to learn more about internment camps. George Takei stars in this pseudo-biographical musical that both Jon and Aaron feel is almost perfect - it just needs some tweaks.Aaron's Socials: @trueaaronchoiAaron's Twitch: @truechoistoryPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Newsies: The Broadway Musical!
