Ep. 467 - That Thing You Do! (1996) (w/ Marc Bonanni)

Jon really hates himself for picking this one. But he is glad he's in good company...even though he feels guilty for torturing Kendra and Scott (kinda).When Scary Met Stabby Instagram: @whenscarymetstabbyWriter’s Bagel Basket Socials Instagram: @writersbagelbasketHell Is A Musical Socials Instagram: @hellisamusicalCrushgasm's Links: https://linktr.ee/CrushgasmPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: O'Dessa!

It's time to seize the day with a new guest! Host of the Assembly Guide podcast, Alicia joins the pool of guests this episode with a banger of a movie!

What would happen if you woke up and almost everyone in the world didn't know who The Beatles were? Well, this movie answers that question. And Jon brought back Sam after 413 episodes to break down this movie.Samantha’s Instagram: @samlb777Podcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodYouTube: @butasongpodNext episode: Newsies (1992)!

We head back to 1960s (via 1996) in this iconic film about a one hit wonder band that surprisingly has a lot of original songs in it. Just by looking at the title, do you hear the titular song?Marc's Instagram: @bwayghostlightMarc's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@broadwaybyghostlightPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Yesterday!

Jon joins the forces of Aaron and Jay to talk about this hidden gem that is also very problematic. In the episode, they discuss the stage version's changes, tap dancing elevator, and how Carol Channing is the A plot.Beards and Sundries (kick ass) Website: https://beardsandsundries.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaf_PAqW-08AQuDRO8ocIF8wwYgQCaNOEnOLsJs-Nm5ASBJgDVT0nQl6LWmh6A_aem_fo66Huu5s0Ivb5kWPLSN4QAaron's Socials: @trueaaronchoiAaron's Twitch: @truechoistoryPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: That Thing You Do!

Jon took a big swing with this pick - he's basing this off of How Did This Get Made. Joined with bestie Jayson, the two propose a stage version, go off on various tangents (unsurprisingly), and laugh their way through the episode.Jayson’s Instagram: @jaysonlkerrPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Thoroughly Modern Millie!

Jon thought he hit a home run with this selection - Roland plus Cole Porter, what could possible go wrong?Roland's Instagram: @rolandrusinekHelluva Boss: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-uopgYBi65HwiiDR9Y23lomAkGr9mm-SPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Rhinestone!

We kick off another month of Jon's Picks with a movie that we're all surprised hasn't been covered yet. Joined by bestie of the pod Arianna, Jon heads back to the Styne/Sondheim classic about a stage mom who may or may not have had some narcissistic tendencies, while everyone around her is trying to protect her in some way, shape, or form.Arianna’s Socials -Instagram/TikTok: @ladyaria_Website: www.ariannaarmon.comPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: De-Lovely!

Welcome back to the early 2000s, where comedy was weird, people don't understand the geography of New York City, and the era of Michael Cera. Scott brings his When Scary Met Stabby co-host CB onto the pod for the first time, and they with Jon discuss how this should have been a musical. Would it work on stage?When Scary Met Stabby Instagram: @whenscarymetstabbyWriter’s Bagel Basket Socials Instagram: @writersbagelbasketHell Is A Musical Socials Instagram: @hellisamusicalOld Men Yell at Cloud Instagram: @oldmenyellatcloudPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Gypsy (1993)!

Mary and Steven are back to talk more about Oklahoma! But this time it's the film version! They plus Jon have a very different read on the show because the movie felt very different - potentially because of the changes made...? But the trio liked the movie.From the Top! link: https://linktr.ee/fromthetoppodcastMisery Loves Movies Instagram: @miserylovesmoviespodPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist!
