Lisa and Jules are ready to tell you all the reasons why you should be enjoying the golden age of Hollywood musicals, which might not be over yet–even though the movies don’t look quite the same. Gene Kelly, Mel Brooks, Hugh Jackman, Disney, murder, and axe-dancing: it’s all in here!

(And to reiterate: Gerard Butler is welcome to guest any time. WE HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.)

Do you know how hard it is to come up with a quick post about Annie without cramming it full of song lyrics? IT’S A HARD KNOCK LIFE FOR US. Anyway, Lisa and Jules saw the new movie starring Quvenzhané Wallis, and they liked it. Everybody else can blow it out their old wazoo!

In this Bossy Short, we’re getting down and dirty with our top recs for quick and trashy reads to get you through the end of the year, and in return: WE NEED YOURS, TOO. Literary merit need not apply!

Send us your recommendations (and correct Lisa’s pronunciation of Acadiens, yikes) on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook or in the comments. Maybe we’ll talk about your faves on a future podcast!

Instead of watching the Gracepoint finale tonight, Lisa’s checking back in with the show and giving it a hearty retroactive DO NOT WATCH. (Time travelers, no need to inquire within. Maura’s got it under control.)

Lisa and Jules are joined this week by Maura Elliott of The Televoid to talk about Serial, the wildly popular spinoff podcast from This American Life. And, ooh, we’ve got big questions. What makes true crime such an enticing genre of infotainment? How do we feel about the show’s deliberate construction of a narrative? Can you ever get to an objective truth? Why do we keep getting sucked into subreddits, blogs, and Murderpedia spirals? And how scary will the internet get when this story ends?

We’re reversing our posting order this week and next so we don’t interfere with your Serial-binging (or ours)! We’ll be back later this week with a Bossy Short, and again next Tuesday with another special guest to talk about some of the thornier questions that have been raised around Serial.

We saw the newest Hunger Games movie, Mockingjay Part I, and now Jules has the best idea for Elizabeth Banks’ next big role! (CALL US.) Join us this weekend to talk about the magic of Effie and Haymitch, invisible traumas in action movies, that ’30s aesthetic, the movie’s hidden and not-so-hidden messages, The Hemsworth, what we keep hoping to see in Hollywood dystopias, and when you can’t remember what’s fanon and what’s canon.

(Team Cressida, btw, amirite?)

HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW STAR WARS TEASER? Jules and Lisa did and now they have Thoughts. We’re all still a year away from actually seeing the movie, so there’s plenty of time to get ridiculously, ludicrously, overwhelmingly too excited. Get started today!
