We continue our other series on the podcast (A Stars is Borns) with the 1976 Barbra Streisand led remake. Jon and Roland discuss the relationship between Barbra and Kris Kirkpatrick's characters and their chemistry, as well as their singing, although Barbra wins hands down with his.

Please welcome back to the pod, in her new job title, Battles as our Don Bluth Correspondent. We travel back in time with an adorable mouse named Fievel and his adventures immigrating to America. Jon and Battles try real hard not to just talk about "Somewhere Out There," while trying not to cry.

We finish Back to School theme episodes, Tommy introduces to Jon the semi-educational TV film Free to Be...You & Me. They break down each vignette and (mostly Jon) give their strong thoughts on the songs. Also, does anyone know why there is an ellipsis in this title?

We continue with another Back to School theme episode with Rock 'n' Roll High School, where most of the lines for The Ramones had to be cut but man this movie was (mostly) hilarious! Jon and Shady have a wonderful time talking about this silly movie.

School's back in session, and Jon and Dustin follow the kids at East High (in Utah) as they put on the stage version of High School Musical. They talk about the original songs, praise how stupidly talented these actors are, and can't get over how amazing the song "Born to Be Brave" is.

We close out The Magic Flute series with the Kenneth Branagh version that is wacky, but not wacky enough. With the high concept of this movie, Jon and Aaron figure out if it helped or hurt the storytelling. But we're done with The Magic Flute...for now.

Next episode: High School Musical, The Musical: The Series - Season 1!

Aaron is back to talk about a very pure show that may or may not have some...undertones (Ratty and Mole are "just friends"). However the design of the show is really cool and minimal, but Aaron has some notes on the book and the music.

To close off Jon's Picks, Jon managed to coerce Nick to watch this one season show that is very interesting...on paper. They compare it to its competitor at the time (Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist) and just wonder why they decided to make this a musical?

Jon reached out to fellow podcasters Danielle and Tony, who host Point Your Toes, to discuss the iconic 1933 film version of 42nd Street. The trio discuss the histories of tap dance, theatre histories, the movie's "modern" commentary, and the period of the film's release, while also talking about the stage version.
