Greetings, Curious Crowd! We continue our Studio Ghibli mini-series with the entire NC Crew as Roni, Jams, and Jen cross the iconic, My Neighbor Totoro off their lists! We go a little off the rails.

Greetings, Curious Crowd! We have wrapped our mini-series on live musicals and on this episode we will be moving on to the world of Studio Ghibli with Roni and Rach crossing Kiki's Delivery Service off our lists!

July 08, 2020 S02E05 - We Love Musicals: Hamilton
Greetings, Curious Crowd. Take a break with all four of the NC ladies as Roni and Rach join Jen and Jams as they cross Hamilton off their list! Apologies in advance as always for the awkward laughter and the tangential rants. Have you seen Hamilton on Disney+? Have you seen it an unhealthy number of times like some of us? Let us know!

If you're extra nerdy about Hamilton (like Rach), check out Flicks and the City's awesome in-depth look at details you may have missed from the show. And if you want more, listen to Lin and the rest of the original Broadway cast answer questions and share behind-the-scenes stories with Wired's Hamilton Support. Check out the theory posed by JC Payne that Rach mentions in the podcast explaining Ariana's role as not only The Bullet but an omen of death. Visit the room where it happened with the Obamas. And finally, here is a supercut of different variations on numbers that didn't make it into the final version of the show with the bonus John Adams rap performed live by Lin ft. Renee, Phillipa, and Daveed.

There are sadly many more names, many more that deserve justice. Black lives matter. Below is a list of resources that we have gathered. It's not comprehensive by any means, but it is a start. Educating ourselves is one thing we can do to help end systemic racism. All lives matter when black lives matter.
