Episode 23: Little Shop of Horrors (1986)


Listen Later

This week on Skeleton Closet, we’re feeding our hunger for more 80’s musicals! Join Mean Green Mothers from Outer Space and Co-hosts Jake and Shannon as they break down a baffling set of aesthetic choices, an incredibly charming series of puppets, and a seriously catchy set of tunes that come together to make the cult classic, Little Shop of Horrors. We’ll get into the movie’s themes on suburbia and White Flight, which of the movie’s many endings is the most feminist, a surprisingly earnest segment on the meaning of success. By the end, you’ll come away knowing exactly what to do if your envy and jealousy manifest as a literal green monster with a gun.

As always, keep up with us at linktr.ee/SkeletonCloset, and remember... don’t feed the plants!
