New guest Thaddeus brings a movie to the pod that Jon is surprised he hasn't done yet, but welcomes the iconicness that is Sister Act. They talk about how big this movie was, as well as Whoppi being an icon. Did we mention that this movie is iconic?Thaddeus's Socials: @thaddeuadanquahHappy Media Podcast's Socials -Instagram: @happymediapodTwitter: @happymedpodPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Sister Act!

Jon and Colden have been sitting on this one for a minute, and it was time to finally do this! Jon is here for Judy as a voice actor for a cat, but Colden has notes and Jon clutches his pearls.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: @butasongpodNext episode: Sister Act!

Phil comes back with a Bollywood romcom that's about generational trauma. It literally has every genre of film in it, and Jon needs to watch more Bollywood movies.Phil's Instagram: @avantemojiPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Gay Purr-ee!

Get ready for some jazz sung by legends! Jon, Martha, and Charles get into the show Ain't Misbehavin', which is a jukebox musical that's basically a concert. They talk about the history (more like Jon learns some things) and can't get over this all star cast!Full Circle Podcast's Website: https://fullcirclethepod.com/Podcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Rocky and Rani' Love Story!

And now for something completely different - a musical animated TV series! Jon and Blanche take a trip into Loren Bouchard's mind to see what he gets up to in this new-ish series that centers around a family who live in Central Park. Chaos ensues.Blanche's Instagram: @blanketjuiceThe Afictionados Links: https://linktr.ee/theafictionadosPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Ain't Misbehavin'!

We're closing out this round of Jon's Picks with Shady! Jon challenged himself and Shady to watch the Prince movie Under the Cherry Moon, and they were pleasantly surprised with it.Shady's Socials: @cookieoshadyShady's Substack: https://www.substack.com/@cookieoshadyPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodYouTube: @butasongpodNext episode: Central Park - Season 1!

Jon wanted to do this with Sierra because she is also a Muppet expert (on top of being our Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly Correspondent). She and Jon discuss the probability of Manhattan Melodies coming to Broadway, have some costume notes for one of the humans, and just marvel at the technology the Henson Company came up with to do some truly magical filmmaking.Sierra’s Instagram: @sierrareinMarquee Five: @marqueefivePodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Under the Cherry Moon!

Jon really tortured himself with this one. Much like last episode, he wanted to get this one done and over with (and prays no one picks it for a Second Chance). And he thought that this was up Ashley's alley, which she gladly took the challenge of watching this without knowing anything about Jem.Ashley's Instagram: @shleebaleePodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodYouTube: @butasongpodNext episode: The Muppets Take Manhattan!

We're heading back to LaGuardia High School to check in on this new crop of Fame kids. Jon forced...umm...asked Sam to watch this movie and the two banter about how everyone treats these underage children, as well as share some fun surprises! Be sure to listen to the whole episode to get a shock of your lives!Samantha’s Instagram: @samlb777Podcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodYouTube: @butasongpodNext episode: Jem and the Holograms (2015)!
