Hey there, Cassettes! It's Christmastime once again, and we're celebrating a little differently this year. Since we're winding down the show as we get ready for our final episode, we thought it would be fun to re-create the first episode we ever published here for you: The Case of A Christmas Carol(s)!

Hey there Cassettes! As October continues, we thought it would be fun to revisit some of the the wacky and unforgettable Halloween TV specials from our youth. In this episode, we talked about The Halloween That Almost Wasn't (1979), Halloween is Grinch Night (1977), and The Last Halloween (1991). 

What were some of your favorite Halloween specials from your childhood?

Hey there, Cassettes! This week we honored our favorite Halloween tradition and gathered around a fire to tell spooky stories! This has been the most fun part of the Halloween season for the last few years. We hope you enjoy getting a little spooky with us!

Hey there, Cassettes! August is here, which can only mean one thing: more episodes of the BCD!! This week, we decided to take a look at one of the most famous comedy teams in history: The Three Stooges. 

We returned to our roots this week by having on a guest that hasn't been on our show since season 1: Robin's dad (Bob)! He was kind enough to share his love of the stooges with us, so please join us!

Hey there, Cassettes! We're back with another episode about a beloved musical!

This week, we dove deep into the history of Mary Poppins, the classic live-action Disney film that continues to win the hearts of movie fans sixty years after its release.

Hey there, Cassettes! As we continue with June Tunes, we thought we might do a short episode on a classic made-for-TV musical from 1989: Polly!

This film was an episode of The Magical World of Disney and it truly made a lasting impression on fans, despite the fact that Disney has not made it readily available. It's a musical adaptation of the novel Pollyanna and is set in Alabama in 1955. 

Here is a link to the film on YouTube if you'd like to give it a watch!!

Hey there, Cassettes! We're back to bring you the second part to last week's episode on Chicago (2002)! In this episode, we broke down the principal actors, the musical numbers, and the film's reception.

Come on, Cassettes, why don't we paint the town? This week, we're releasing part 1 of our two-part episode on Chicago, the Oscar-winning movie musical from 2002!

Based on a 1926 play by Maurine Dallas Watkins, Chicago is an endlessly entertaining satire that highlights the problem with celebrity worship and corruption in the criminal justice system. It’s packed with musical numbers inspired by vaudeville and the music of the jazz age, performed by an incredibly talented cast that seemed to fit their roles like a glove. 

This episode focuses on the real-life history behind the play that became a musical, that eventually became a hit film!
