New guests the Rigano Brothers (David and Paul) come on the pod to talk about their virtual show, plug their upcoming show, and Jon praises them for probably being one of the first composers to make original musicals to be produced virtually.

February 27, 2025 Ep. 418 - Doctor Dolittle (1967) (w/ Colden Lamb)
We close off Jon's Picks with a long and weird musical movie starring Rex Harrison, so naturally Jon picked bestie Colden to talk about this movie (which Jon assumed Colden has seen already). The two get into this movie as much as the props designer did with the Great Pink Sea Snail.

Thank you to Gary Kochey for suggesting this one.

February 24, 2025 Ep. 417 - The Lady Objects (1938) (w/ Sierra Rein)
There is one specific reason why Jon picked Sierra to do this one and it's to make up for the last Jon's Picks episode that she was on! But the two also discuss this movie in length, or as much as they can because the film has a fast runtime.

February 20, 2025 Ep. 416 - Carmen (2022) (w/ Jim Evans and Aaron Marsh)
Jon chose the opera boys of the podcast to talk about this not opera movie. The internet lied to Jon calling this a musical, but the trio still had some things to talk about.

February 17, 2025 Ep. 415 - Pippin (1982 Canadian production) (w/ Tommy Schwanfelder)
On this very special episode, Jon shares why he chose to do this episode with special guest Tommy. The two talk about the TV film but also the show as a whole and their love for it. Plus: Fosse.

February 13, 2025 Ep. 414 - Love's Labour's Lost (2000) (w/ SLee)
Valentine's Day is near, and Jon wanted to do this crazy movie. He enlisted SLee (in her first solo episode!) to talk about Kenneth Branagh's creation to a Shakespeare comedy that isn't that well known. But love is in the air in this crazy romp.

We're kicking off Jon's Picks Vol. 2 with this Australian indie film that takes a look at two different high school cliques: the emos and the Christians. It's Romeo & Juliet with some dark comedy that Jon and Blanche try to make sense of.
