An extremely stream-of-consciousness conversation between Kali and Barrie.

Kali and Barrie are joined by shining star Zach Sherman (@broadwaybookworm, @zachsgotlife), to talk about Carrie the musical.

The ultimate tangent episode. Topics include Xanadu, the 2015 City Center production of William Finn's A New Brain, Jeremy Morse's perfect voice, Catfish: The TV Show, the b-plot in Ragtime, and McKamey Manor. Strain smoked this episode: White #2 by Elevation

Barrie's first time podcasting with Kali and Evan, an historic day which changed the game for all of us. Highlights include inconsistent spatial awareness, opposable thumbs, Jason Derulo putting in the time, the use of actual magic, fat shaming, and the Jellicle Choice.

"What are we going to talk about every week? That's super unclear, but we can promise it's going to be very niche."

An extremely stream-of-consciousness conversation between Kali and Barrie. We talk noise cancelling headphones, peeing in midtown Manhattan, Kali's childhood, Barrie's period, New Jersey, and the future of the podcast.Theatre-related rants include opening numbers, the chronology of Sondheim musicals, the worst shows we've ever seen, National Treasure Danny Burstein, and our inability to go an hour without mentioning Ragtime.

This week, beautiful tropical fish/Cats enthusiast  Barrie Meisner (@barriejoyyy) joins us via Google Hangouts to break down the 2019 major motion picture experience that is Tom Hooper's Cats. We discuss our personal history with the musical as well as the filmmakers' inconsistent spatial awareness, fundamental misunderstanding of what cats are, and absolutely incomprehensible casting choices. We also talk opposable thumbs, Jason Derulo putting in the time, the use of actual magic, fat shaming, and the Jellicle Choice.

 

Tangents include Lin-Manuel Miranda, A Clockwork Orange, our useless college degrees, Alfred Hitchcock, the show Friends, and several other, better musicals including Jesus Christ Superstar, Tommy, Side Show, Tarzan, and School of Rock.

So, wow. We're back to discuss truly the most underwhelming Bravo reunion in history. Highlights include Jax's neckbeard, Lala's outfit, Scheana making pancakes, everyone being nice to Raquel, and some genuinely satisfying apologies. In unsurprising news: we're still over Brittany, Katie's the hottest person alive, and Tom Sandoval makes some extremely valid points in the most extra way possible.

Tangents include Kevin James/Smith/Hart, season two of The Order, and season five of 90 Day Fiance.
