This movie has more horror stories than Ryan Murphy! Hospitalizations galore, toxic makeup, and even an exploding broom. Mike and Jodi go behind-the-scenes of one of cinema's most beloved films, as well as delving into its myriad of possible themes — is this a film of political discourse? a feminist tome? an adolescence analogy? an underdog narrative? And could it be all of these?

What is the world without Dolly? We chat about this devastating loss while noting Dolly's musical connections — the 9to5 musical, her upcoming biographical musical Dolly: A True Original Musical, and her 1984 film with Sylvester Stallone, Rhinestone. Will we have to cover Rhinestone in the near future? Stay tuned!

In this episode, Mike and Jodi discuss Renaissance Man Quincy Jones, the ongoing debate of art vs artist, and the insidious ways that government policies and clandestine dealings can suppress cultural expression and progression — serious stuff for a somewhat goofy film!

We come across all kinds of musicals in our podcast — the uplifting, the emotional, the inspirational, the spectacular...and then there's this. Our conversation topics range from LA architecture to rollerskating, from ancient Greek mythology to the Razzie Awards. But there's one topic we can't avoid — Xanadu.

We talk all things Dr. Seuss — the scandals, the xenophobia, why he fled Hollywood — while we explore this surreal, dystopian fantasy and ask "who is the intended audience for this movie??" What a way to kick off our "fantasy" themed season 4!

We prostrate ourselves before the Divine Miss M, then go down a wormhole of bullying, brassieres, and biases. And Ken Russell adds to his lengthening list of almost-wases!

Yes, I will tell you about my Evita confusion AGAIN! But we'll also talk about missed opportunities (Liza Minelli as Evita?), harsh critiques (I'm looking at you, Patti LuPone), and a litigious director (script by Oliver Stone? It's a whole thing). I also claim that Cher isn't in any musicals, so don't come for me Burlesque and Mamma Mia 2 fans.
