Ep. 391 - An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991) (w/ Battles)

To celebrate our 400th episode we had to do an equally epic movie to match this monumental milestone. Jon managed to get the standby witches on Wicked to discuss this phenomenal movie. What do you think will happen in Wicked: Part Two, or is it Wicked: For Good?Podcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongoidTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Rudolph's Shiny New Year!

We finally conclude our coverage on the Lives with The Grinch. Jon and Colden both have emotional ties to this property but in different ways - Jon grew up with the animated movie, and Colden grew up watching the stage version. Spoiler alert: they both didn't like this.Colden's Social -Instagram: @coldenlambWebsite: www.coldenlamb.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ColdenLambA Marc Blitzstein Archive YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BlitzsteinArchivePodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongoidTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Wicked: Part One!

We're joined by a new guest, Brent Watkins, who has strong ties to the touring stage version of A Christmas Story. He tells us some stories from his years with the show, and he and Jon somewhat talk about the live.

Marc is back to talk Christmas time with Jon by bringing the stop motion musical version of Elf.

Diana is back to lightly inject Christmas into our Winter Holiday Season episodes.

We continue our Winter Holiday Season episodes with a movie that new guest Casey thinks is the better in the franchise: Frozen II.

We're going to court, but not like the one in Chicago. Jon and Sierra here to figure out who's lying, decipher what type of affairs are happening in this movie, and they try to figure out how to remake this movie and make it more musical.
