Ep. 456 - Next to Normal (2024 West End Production) (w/ Ashley Evans)

We're doing it. Ashley is back to get into a deep discussion about mental health and musical theatre. This is Jon's first time seeing the show, but the Riverdale episode is pretty close to this show's plot, right?Ashley Evans: @shleebaleePodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Bob's Burgers - "Art Crawl"/"Topsy"!

We're doing something a little different this episode: Jon got in touch with comedian Emily Wilson about her special, and got to live his Oprah fantasy and interview her about the making of her special, her time on The X Factor, and somehow kept his composure the whole time (not really).Emily's Website: https://www.therealemilywilson.com/Podcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Next to Normal (2024 West End Production)!

The movie title lies - it is not the first nudie musical. However, it is somewhat funny (1970s comedy, everyone - grain of salt). Jim is back to talk about dongs, boobs, and potential parody.Film Rage Socials: @filmrageyyPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: FIXED: How I Got REJECTED by Reality TV!

Jon and Roland are confused about this not biopic. They love the historic figure of Hans Christian Andersen and Danny Kaye is an amazing actor outside of this movie, just something was off and the two were feeling very meh about this movie.Roland's Instagram: @rolandrusinekHelluva Boss: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-uopgYBi65HwiiDR9Y23lomAkGr9mm-SPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: The First Nudie Musical!

Scott's back to talk about the Peter Dinklage led Cyrano. He's more interested in talking about The National, while Jon is more interested in the historical figure.Writer’s Bagel Basket Socials Instagram: @writersbagelbasketHell Is A Musical Socials Instagram: @hellisamusicalWhen Scary Met Stabby Instagram: @whenscarymetstabbyPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Hans Christian Andersen!

We're heading to Ponyland this episode (not Equestria)! Blanche is back to finish the My Little Pony movie trilogy (sort of) to talk about G1 Ponies. Jon has some theories about this movie, and the two discuss one annoying Pony that the movie focused too much on.Blanche's Instagram: @serpentsharkladyThe Afictionados Links: https://linktr.ee/theafictionadosPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Cyrano!

Happy milestone episode, everyone! Sierra and Pete came up with this idea to live react while watching a movie, and they picked a very historical film that unfortunately the colorized print does not exist anymore. However, the show must go on and with Jon they had a blast doing this.If you want to watch the video episode here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wN1Z_rqHbESierra’s Instagram: @sierrareinMarquee Five: @marqueefivePete's Website: www.pete.inkPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: My Little Pony: The Movie (1986)!

We're heading back to musical biopics this episode, but with a serious one told in a not so serious manner. Jon and Shady can't get over the CGI chimp in this movie, and also realize they know Robbie Williams's music more than they initially thought.Shady's Socials: @cookieoshadyPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: On with the Show! (Episode 450!!!)

We head back to 1960s New York City to check in on Judy Holliday and this part that was written specifically for her. Marc educates Jon on some of the Easter eggs in this movie/show, while Jon didn't do his homework.Marc's Instagram: @bwayghostlightMarc's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@broadwaybyghostlightPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Better Man!

Jon is on his path of redemption with Kevin because of the last episode he was on. However, the two giggle throughout this episode and movie because it's just so damn funny. They discuss "Weird Al's" discography, the cast of this movie, and how stupid this movie is.Kevin's Link: https://linktr.ee/kevinwatchesmoviesPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Bells Are Ringing!
