Thicket and Thistle Podcast

Welcome to SEASON TWO of the Thicket & Thistle podcast, where we talk about our favorite aspects of movie musicals. 

This week we’re lying in a technicolor field of poppies and breathing in all the asbestos snow we can handle as we discuss MGM’s The Wizard of Oz.

Thicket & Thistle takes a look back at our inaugural season! We will celebrate our favorite performances, relive our favorite moments, and hand out the highly coveted THISTLIES GOLDEN BUCKET! Who is going to win Worst Performance, Best Vocal Moment, and Favorite Musical of the Season?! Join us to find out!  

Just in time for the holidays, we are joined by special guest and erotic audiobook celebrity Will Watt as we follow the supernatural exploits of Ebenezer Scrooge. Starring Michael Caine, the 1992 Muppets adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol does indeed bless us, every one.

This week we are joined by special guests Matt and Jeffrey from the Barn as we discuss 2007’s “Hairspray”. Please enjoy the episode!

This week, we’re lacing up our favorite nude corset and applying way too much eye liner as we discuss 2010’s Burlesque, starring Christina Aguilera and Cher. Join us as we explore the intricacies of toilet cash, “air rights”, and Alan Cumming hitting on a banana with special guests Ben and Megan from the podcast “So I Married a Cinephile". Enjoy the episode!

Place your bets on which of the various gangsters and gamblers will survive the fortunes of love in the debonair 1955 movie Guys and Dolls, starring Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra. We are lucky to be joined by a special lady tonight, hip-hop improvisor Rachel Rosenthal. Enjoy the episode!

Hello friends. This week, we’re packing up and hitting the old vaudeville circuit in search of riches, fame, and the approval of legendary stage mother: Mama Rose. Starring Bette Midler, who absolutely chews the scenery, we discuss the made-for-TV 1993 release of Arthur Laurents, Jule Styne and a young Stephen Sondheim’s “Gypsy.” Please enjoy the episode!

Listeners, the time has come: America needs you to put on your red, white and blue bodysuit, get into the nearest hummer, call your senators, and strap in for the most explosive musical of the century: Team America: World Police. This irreverent action flick skewers Michael Bay, immortalizes Matt Damon, and blows up just about every world monument you can think of. Please enjoy the episode!

Today we will dive into the supernatural by opening up the sarcastic sarcophagus of the classic Joss Whedon tv series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Join us as we welcome our guest Corley Pillsbury, an actor/musician, songwriter, and OG member of Thicket & Thistle. Please enjoy the episode!
