 What started as a chat about Les Miserables concert versions swiftly turned into a lesson (for Ian) on fan fiction. Jenn Grossman joins us again to discuss it all! And wowee, did we discuss.@simpcasters@milkpizza@epicadventureof@ibroskisimpcasters@gmail.com

It's our yearly Tony Nominations episode and Jenna Kate Monisoff is back to join us! We talk Producers lists and eligibility, stacked categories in a scant year, celebrations, and snubs. We also stand ten toes down for our favorites (count em), Ian may or may not watch The Gilded Age, we compare this season to last season, and so much more but most of all, vibes.@simpcasters@epicadventureof@ibroskisimpcasters@gmail.com

Today, Jenn Grossman joins us to yap about the most complete encapsulation of Les Miserables we got: the 2012 movie. We talk about friendship history, what it meant to be there in 2012 in the theaters, casting choices, NEW casting choices, cinematic choices vs theatrical choices, and everything Javert would have loved today. Is Valjean hot? But also, why not? How many minutes are in a year? Questionable. Does GLEE come up? You bet.Join us next time for MORE LES MIS!@simpcasters@epicadventureof@ibroskisimpcasters@gmail.comForgive any audio issues. Also, content warning: talk of suicide.

Today we talk crash out show tunes. We also got a Pitch Perfect teaser, a theatre news roundup, Ian’s fanboy moments, and some great new shows! Come for the Charlie’s Angels talk, stay for the Jellicle Ball!@simpcasters@epicadventureof@ibroskisimpcasters@gmail.com

Today? We are haters. We talk about some crowd-sourced bad episodes of musical television! Ian gets a crash course on Grey’s Anatomy, as well as a crash course on songs that already exist. There’s iconic(?) moments, cringeworthy moments, clunky and awkward lyric changes, and there were NOT a lot of other things we missed. Bottom line, we crash out a little bit; thank you for bearing with us.@simpcasters@epicadventureof@ibroskisimpcasters@gmail.com

Today, we start our mini-series on Musical TV Episodes, as sourced by the comments. And boy do we start on a high note! We shout out some honorable mentions in HIMYM, Daria, The Magicians, That 70's Show, Skins. We spotlight Scrubs and Buffy The Vampire Slayer and dive into why they are just so dang good!Stay tuned for our next episode in the series where we cover the ones we... didn't celebrate so much!@simpcasters@epicadventureof@ibroskisimpcasters@gmail.com

It’s Grease Live Time! Corrina and Ian are recording late at night and it probably shows! Did this episode really even happen? Ian has a strange axe to grind, new sequels are created, and Keke Palmer is an American Treasure.@simpcasters@epicadventureof@ibroskisimpcasters@gmail.com
