We head back into the world of Repo! The Genetic Opera as the beginning of our Second Chance Month. Arianna is back to talk about this movie that she's seen for the first time because of this recording.

Well, Jon thought this would have been more of a fun bad movie instead of what it was. He and Ashley watched both the original 2000 movie and this unasked for remake without letting the other know, and decided to compare the remake to the original to see why it was made.Ashley's Instagram: @shleebaleePodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodYouTube: @butasongpodNext episode: Repo!

Aaron came up with an idea to compare two versions of Babes in Toyland with bestie Jay. In this long episode (not sorry), the trio talk about the insanity of this story with two batshit crazy movies that each have their problems, but also moments of pure camp.But seriously, does anyone know how they did that water moment in the 1961 movie?Beards and Sundries Website: https://beardsandsundries.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaf_PAqW-08AQuDRO8ocIF8wwYgQCaNOEnOLsJs-Nm5ASBJgDVT0nQl6LWmh6A_aem_fo66Huu5s0Ivb5kWPLSN4QAaron's Socials: @trueaaronchoiAaron's Twitch: @truechoistoryPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Spirited (2022)!

Apparently this holiday season we're covering a lot of holiday specials, and it's about damn time! A decade ago Bill Murray made a holiday special for Netflix which may or may not be a parody of holiday specials. Jon and Shady join forces again to talk about their other podcast (Movie Deja Vu), their love for Nicolas Cage, and Christmas in general. Oh, and they talk about this special at points.Shady's Socials: @cookieoshadyPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodYouTube: @butasongpodNext episode: DOUBLE FEATURE: Babes in Toyland (1961) and Babes in Toyland (1986)!

Santa gets an understudy this episode, and it's not the movie you think it is. Marc is back to celebrate with another animated musical that is based off a book this time! He and Jon head to Stinky Cigars to see what's going on with the holidays, and how this guy Murray saves the day.Marc's Instagram: @bwayghostlightMarc's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@broadwaybyghostlightPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Theatre Reddit (EPISODE 500!!!)!

What's a holiday without a musical special? John is back to delve into the early days of holiday specials with Judy Garland and her family, as well as a modern day holiday special with Sabrina Carpenter and her friends! John and Jon compare the two specials in this one episode to see how the holiday special evolved, and pitch their own future special (someone give them producer credit for it).John's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/johnflynn99?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=fe3657de-b941-4ca6-97cd-56cd0d46c45dPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: How Murray Saved Christmas!
