Ep. 482 - The Paul Lynde Halloween Special (1976) (w/ John Flynn)

We head down the Witches' Road by way of New Jersey this episode with Blanche! She and Jon get into the Marvel comics of it all, plus Jon has some wild theories (as per usual). And they spoil the crap out of this show, just a head's up.Blanche's Instagram: @blanketjuiceThe Afictionados Links: https://linktr.ee/theafictionadosPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Shock Treatment (SCT #42)!

Out from the center square, Paul Lynde had a Halloween special starring Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch of the West), Witchipoo, and KISS. John is back with this acid trip of a show that Jon doesn't know what he watched.John's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/johnflynn99?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=fe3657de-b941-4ca6-97cd-56cd0d46c45dPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Agatha All Along - Season 1!

It wouldn't be spooky season without representing Phantom of the Opera in some way, and we have Phantom expert Arianna back to talk about this Korean production of the Kopit/Yeston musical. Jon also has a personal story to share that he hopes y'all don't judge him too harshly after hearing it.Arianna’s Socials -Instagram/TikTok: @ladyaria_Website: www.ariannaarmon.comPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: The Paul Lynde Halloween Special!

It's officially spooky on the pod, and the Opera Boys are back with another not opera movie. But this one is set in an opera house. Dario Argento made a little giallo film that is as dramatic as operas can be, but Jon still has a lot of questions.

Scott's back for his 10,000th episode this year! He and Jon talk about the uncanny valley that is this movie while Scott regales us with stories from his childhood, and the two go off on numerous tangents that we lost count.

Jon came super prepared for this one (for once). Joined by Lauren, the two delve into this beautiful story but are disappointed by the lack of singing by these singers. Luckily, Lauren was just in a production of the show and was able to answer some questions that this movie left Jon with. Jon also got in touch with Broadway star NaTasha Yvette Williams who was the first replacement for Sofia in the original Broadway production of The Color Purple to talk more about that character and hear NaTasha's journey with the show.Lauren's Instagram/TikTok: @lxurengitisCinema Sistas Podcast Instagram: @cinemasistaspodcastMum School: A Blue Podcast Instagram: @mumschoolpodNaTasha's Instagram: @natashayvettewilliamsPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Dick Tracy!

We're doing something different this episode! Colden is back to introduce us to a "docu-tainment" movie. It's a clip show of a lot of musical moments from MGM's first 50 years of musical films.

We're riding the Fred Astaire train this episode with Sierra! She and Jon listen to the best of the Gershwins, while watching dancing legends grace our screens with wonderful choreography featuring dancing on roller skates.

Lauren takes us back to South Park this episode to delve into two episodes!

Prepare yourselves for an emotional episode. As much as Jon and Roland love this musical, they both cry at it because of the events of 9/11. This show is truly a light on a dark day in American history.Roland's Instagram: @rolandrusinekHelluva Boss: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-uopgYBi65HwiiDR9Y23lomAkGr9mm-SPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: South Park: "Elementary School Musical"/"Broadway Bro Down"!
