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)!

We're doing an epically big milestone episode! Jon gathered some besties of the pod to discuss one of his past times - reacting to Reddit stories.

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!

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!

We're heading back to the '80s with this beloved jukebox musical! Steven joins us on his first solo episode to not only talk about this bananas movie (in a fun way) but also about the show because as of the recording he was in a production of it! He and Jon complain about how many named actors are in this movie, rock out to the songs, and wonder why they changed so much.From the Top! link: https://linktr.ee/fromthetoppodcastPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Bob's Burgers Christmas Episodes (Part 1?)!
