One Short Pod: News Flash!

OK! There were so many Zoom and Logic Pro issues on this episode that it necessitated more actual editing than any episode to date. Also, we talk about 21 Chump Street towards the end, which we can all agree is better than In the Heights. Check out Sam's great music: Super Glass Houses on Spotify/Apple Music!

Dancin' around at the end of history.

There's a pod just ripe for some listenin'! If you're a sadistic fan who likes it when I yell about bad musicals, this will disappoint you. All positive energy, baby! 

Chris is finally on the cutting edge of something as he covers the brand new PBS "pro cut" of Next to Normal and then contrasts it with a fresh piece of karaoke hell called Jagged Little Pill.  

Naughty fun at the turn of the century. 

The great Kyrsten Williams (from Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Shrinking, host of Black Facts 101) stops by to add some much needed diversity, equity, and inclusion to INYTLM. We discuss The Wiz: the stage show, the movie musical, and the NBC Live event. It was lots of fun! Here's a link to her Instagram. If you live in or near Santa Monica, go see her show! https://www.instagram.com/kyrstenvwill?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==

Chris has the controversial take that Emilia Pérez is a very good movie musical and his friend Sam Payes (Super Glass Houses) drops by to set him straight and tell him to do better.

The wickedly overdue Wicked episode. Full of spoilers for the second movie, fair warning. Recorded over a month ago. I'm sorry and I'll do better.

I have two very important things to tell you! Seriously!

Before we stumble to the polls on this surreal, demoralizing Election Day of 2024 and then strap in for a long, grating night (or several nights) of cable news speculation, touchscreen charts, and punditry, let's take a couple of hours to remember a couple of musical whitewashes which feel almost as false as the rest of this whole thing feels. INYTLM is back to offer you an invaluable civic resource: two cynical musical theatre analogies that perfectly match the two major presidential candidates on the ballot.  Is anybody theeeeeeeere? Does anybody caaaaaaare?
