Happy Season 3! We're back with the granddaddy of all mega-musicals, Les Miserables! Join us as we critique this show and answer the age old question: are nineteenth century French men deserving of love? (Friendly reminder that Cameron Mackintosh probably scammed some old ladies for this.)

We'll be back for Season 3 later this year! See you then!

Oh baby, baby, have we got a show for you. This week, Emily and Brandtly are back to spill some tea about Britney...s music and its use in this "Crazy" musical, Once Upon a One More Time. Is it "Toxic" or were they screaming "Gimme More?" Either way, you can be sure that it is one hell of a "Circus!”

Content warning: Emily didn't bleep the language as it pertains to titles of songs. (Mostly Work B*tch. If you don't like that, maybe skip this one.) Everything else is censored as usual.

This episode was recorded on August 2, 2024. Rest in peace to our favorite, Gavin Creel. We would've loved to see you as Prince Charming.
