Life's But A Song episodes:

August 18, 2025 Ep. 467 - That Thing You Do! (1996) (w/ Marc Bonanni)
We head back to 1960s (via 1996) in this iconic film about a one hit wonder band that surprisingly has a lot of original songs in it. Just by looking at the title, do you hear the titular song?

August 14, 2025 Ep. 466 - Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) (w/ Aaron Choi and Jay Roudybush)
Jon joins the forces of Aaron and Jay to talk about this hidden gem that is also very problematic. In the episode, they discuss the stage version's changes, tap dancing elevator, and how Carol Channing is the A plot.

August 11, 2025 Ep. 465 - Rhinestone (1984) (w/ Jayson Kerr)
Jon took a big swing with this pick - he's basing this off of How Did This Get Made. Joined with bestie Jayson, the two propose a stage version, go off on various tangents (unsurprisingly), and laugh their way through the episode.

August 07, 2025 Ep. 464 - De-Lovely (2004) (w/ Roland Rusinek)
Jon thought he hit a home run with this selection - Roland plus Cole Porter, what could possible go wrong?

August 04, 2025 Ep. 463 - Gypsy (1993) (w/ Arianna Armon)
We kick off another month of Jon's Picks with a movie that we're all surprised hasn't been covered yet. Joined by bestie of the pod Arianna, Jon heads back to the Styne/Sondheim classic about a stage mom who may or may not have had some narcissistic tendencies, while everyone around her is trying to protect her in some way, shape, or form.

July 31, 2025 Ep. 462 - Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) (w/ Scott Kurland and Christopher Brown)
Welcome back to the early 2000s, where comedy was weird, people don't understand the geography of New York City, and the era of Michael Cera. Scott brings his When Scary Met Stabby co-host CB onto the pod for the first time, and they with Jon discuss how this should have been a musical. Would it work on stage?

July 28, 2025 Ep. 461 - Oklahoma! (1955) (w/ Steven Hrubes and Mary Williams)
Mary and Steven are back to talk more about Oklahoma! But this time it's the film version! They plus Jon have a very different read on the show because the movie felt very different - potentially because of the changes made...? But the trio liked the movie.

July 24, 2025 Ep. 460 - Romance & Cigarettes (2005) (w/ Meghan Dixon)
We welcome new guest to the pod Meghan who brings a strong first episode! In a movie that you probably haven't heard of but with an all star cast she and Jon discuss the fragile male ego, Kate Winslet, and the choice of how the songs are "sung."

July 21, 2025 Ep. 459 - Labyrinth (1986) (SCT #41) (w/ Tyler Henry)
We head back in the world of Jim Henson this episode with Tyler, who is a David Bowie expert (which Jon forgot), to revisit Labyrinth. They discuss their theories as to what's actually happening, Tyler brings some outsider knowledge about this movie and it's novelization, and they bring up Bowie's very prominent crotch.
