Lee brings his actual aca-expertise to reveal juicy tidbits about the reality of this movie! Chelsea talks about the natural transition from choir to stand-up comedy! Steph has indeed heard of David Guetta! And Andy talks about a surreal experience playing the Cup Game.

Comedy person Genevieve Rice (Bird City Comedy Festival) and theatre person Maddie Ross ("Metamorphoses") join renowned street rats Andy & Steph to talk about a movie so dated that Disney Plus warns you about racism before you watch it: 1992's OG "Aladdin." Our first dip into the Disney renaissaince! Together, we discuss what Patrick Stewart and Steve from Full House had to do with this movie, unpack the Robin Williams contract fiasco, figure out the root of Maddie and Steph's snake phobias, and demand the release of the Jafar tapes.

Comedian/performing arts school person Sean Keller joins Andy and Steph for a wild convo about a wild movie, 1980's "Fame"! Andy, Steph, and Sean unpack their worst audition stories before getting into auditions for High School for the Performing Arts, and, ultimately, Coco's nightmare audition. Plus Leeroy's 20 knives, Monty's apartment next to a Kenny Rogers' Roasters, Bruno's dad spoiling the title song by just playing it from his cab, and of course, Ralph's journey into stand-up (yes Andy has opinions-- mostly PTSD but also opinions). It's the least musical-iest musical we've ever talked about on the show, and we covered "RRR!"

Comedy people Deanna Ortiz and Mike Degnan join Andy and Steph to take a big one off the board: 1961's OG "West Side Story"! It's a stone cold classic... but is it?? We can't tell, so let's unpack it. Is the way Puerto Ricans are presented in this movie cool? or is it crazy? CRAZY? COOL? GO! We talk about how a man fired from the set goes on to win an Oscar for directing the movie. Deanna's obsession with "Romeo and Juliet" keeps us on task (kind of) for links to Willy Shakes. Mike tells us how the Jerky Boys helped get him into this film when he was but a boy. Steph talks tritones! And Andy's just like, "remember that Gap ad?" the No Skips playlist on spotify (not one overture so far!!): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6NWZ1ETlRqC9s7gcVIoTFW?si=e25b86e4a05a48a6check out our Patreon at patreon.com/dumbfun Hosted on Acast.
