Arrr ya ready, listeners?! This week, we're heading under the sea to the cartoon paradise of Bikini Bottom to talk about the TV airing of the "SpongeBob SquarePants" musical. Featuring a hunky, bendy leading man, this isn't your regular theme-park show, either — we're talking fun and funky thrift store costumes, pool noodles for kelp, and jellyfish made of umbrellas. We've got (almost) nothing but good things to say about this original take on the modern Nickelodeon classic...five...hours...later.

Where to watch: Amazon Prime
