Not the musical I was hoping for.. (cough-Grease2-cough)

I love this movie so much. I did see it in the theater and it was so good. You should listen to the song Class. it's hilarious. Pop: Popping gum 6: 6 wives Squish: He got stabbed Uh-Uh: Did you do it? Uh uh, not Guilty Cicero: The hotel he died in Lipschitz: Husband's last name

Way late suggestion for the ???, but maybe it's time to see An Affair To Remember so you can really reap the rewards of having seen Rita Wilson's recap in Sleepless.

So, this movie came out when I was in the Army. Ever seen a bunch of Army artillery guys singing show tunes on an airplane home from Iraq? I must say that our performance of the courtroom tune hit especially hard.

So glad to see this pop up, it's one of my favorite musicals because it's so deliciously cynical. If you want a deep dive on this, there are videos on You Tube of Jerry Orbach performing Razzle Dazzle. He really brings out the slimy nature of Billy in a way that Richard Gere can't do (because he's always in some sense Richard Gere).

Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop as an Eddie Murphy two-fer. Trading Places and The Last Starfighter because you know why. Trading Places and That Thing You Do! because you'd really like that movie and the reactor community has nearly 100% ignored it. Trading Places and The Departed. Trading Places and A Hard Day's Night because you'd enjoy the challenge of editing the second one in a way that YouTube would clear. Plus, A Hard Day's Night stars John Legend.

John Legend lol. Seconding the That Thing You Do request. It's been a free stream on all the platforms for a while too, so minimal investment!

Shanelle loves hardcore action sequences

This was a awesome surprise. I never liked musicals until I saw Chicago. This was just so intense and creative. Love it. I still don’t like all musical, but in no particular Chicago and The Sound of Music are the best two musicals. Which is weird because they couldn’t be more different from each other. Have you seen the sound of music? Until next time, bye.

I loved Chicago when it first hit the theaters. I've never seen it onstage, but would love to. I thought the casting was absolutely brilliant! I'm glad you loved it. I thought it really set the bar for what a modern movie musical should be.

when i was serving in the Marines this movie was showing on the base theatre and you had a choice , watch this movie or nothing at all. what else was i gonna do? get drunk in the barracks? i already did that so i went to see this. for the sake of brevity, let us say, i was entertained. so naturally i was open to seeing a remake of the musical entitled "The Producers" produced by a certain producer we shall call...Mel Brooks!!!! i never saw the original but this remake is on point. for someone who doesn't watch musicals this particular musical has the dubious honor of being my favorite musical of all time. hopefully we can see you react to this?

I like to think of the Producers is the inverse of Chicago, which is a (rare) successful movie adaptation of a stage musical. One can argue whether the Producers as a movie musical is as successful as the Broadway adaptation of it, I guess, but it definitely took Broadway by storm with Lane and Broderick as 🎶Bialystock and Bloom🎶. I tend to think these successes boil down to two things: change as little as possible and get the casting right. Also, no CGI cats. 😂
