Musical: The Movie: The Podcast

WE'RE BORN AGAIN, BABY!! Comedy person Beckett Kenny ("The Big Finish" podcast) joins Andy & Steph once again for their next leap into the Star Is Born Cinematic Universe-- this time with 100% more Barbra! Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, together at last! Together, the gang unpacks 1976's "A Star Is Born," with loads of wackadoo Barbra and Jon Peters stories from the making of this movie. Andy talks about why this movie kept reminding him of The Muppets! Steph ODs on Barbra! And Beckett wants to see this movie with Sonny & Cher. check out Frank Pierson's article "My Battles with Barbra and Jon" at https://tinyurl.com/mybattleswithcheck out our patreon at patreon.com/dumbfun

Comedy person Chelsea Hood ("Eye Opener") and theatre person Kerry Dubay (Mamma Mia) join Andy & Steph to discuss the last big budget musical of the 20th century, Gene Kelly's "Hello, Dolly!" They talk about the rudeness of Walter Mathau on the set, and try to figure out whether this is a comedy, a musical, or a dance movie. Kerry shares what it's like to be choreographing this musical at a high school in 2025! Chelsea has a Streisand mom! Andy loves a robot who loves this movie! Steph got an offer to go to the Big City because of this musical! check out our No Skips playlist at https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6NWZ1ETlRqC9s7gcVIoTFW?si=0f7ece2603044ee1check out our Patreon at patreon.com/dumbfun for bonus movie talk from Andy & Steph!

Andy thinks Zoe Saldana is the best alien actress around! Genevieve learned everything about this movie against her will!

Comedy person Deanna Ortiz ("Crushes") joins Andy & Steph to talk Dylan (and Chalamet) in 2024's Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown! We try to figure out if Timmy is pulling this off, how this movie stacks up against the same director's Johnny Cash biopic, and the biggest question: why NOW? Deanna tells us why she regrets going to the theater to see this! Andy talks about why Bob Dylan makes him feel like he's been flashy-thinged! And Steph talks about growing up in a folk house!

Comedy person Adam Burke ("Wait Wait Don't Tell Me") joins Andy & Steph to talk about one of the more unconventional choices for the podcast: D.A. Pennebaker's 1970 documentary, "Original Cast Album: Company." As a bonus, the gang ends up talking a LOT about the the "Documentary Now" episode "Original Cast Album: Co-Op." Adam talks about how "Co-Op" led him to "Company." Andy is mostly mad that we're covering this movie. And Steph talks about how "Company" made her ready to risk it all.Check out our No Skips playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6NWZ1ETlRqC9s7gcVIoTFW?si=81f3c5a2862645b5check out our patreon! patreon.com/dumbfun

MTMTP is back for season three!! Theatre person Tina Hoff ("Beauty and the Beast") joins Andy & Steph to try to figure out everything they can about 2019's "live-action" remake of The Lion King! Together they try to figure just how important facial expressions are to a movie. Andy has a theory that everyone likes exactly one live-action Disney remake! Steph talks about the six CDs that lived in her six-CD changer in college! And Tina traverses the uncanny valley of this movie despite her daughter's wishes. The uncanny valley??
