My Jingle Master, Nick Bombicino, comes back on the pod but doing a regular episode this time, and he's here to poke some holes into Pitch Perfect by talking about his time in collegiate a cappella.

Ep. 139 - Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) (w/ Christa Kaimimoku-Wong)

Christa got the golden ticket and is taking Jon to the chocolate factory this episode. They are in awe 50 years later at the practical effects, Gene Wilder's performance, and how incredibly talented the child actors are! Also, they shit on the Johnny Depp version a bit, and talk about the prequel movie!Christa's Instagram: @christakw_Podcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Pitch Perfect!

Ep. 138 - Riverdale: "American Psychos" (w/ Ashley Evans)

Well, they did it again - Riverdale was doing so well with their musical episodes that they pulled the rug from under us. Jon and Ashley basically laugh their way through this episode, but like not laughing with the show. Huge spoiler alert if you haven't seen season six of Riverdale, and Tessa thanks for listening.Ashley’s Instagram and TikTok: @shleebaleePodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory!

Ep. 137 - Purple Rain (1984) (w/ Matt Weiler and Tyler Beck)

Honey Boy is joined by two-thirds of the hosts of Three Films and a Podcast Matt and Tyler to break down the cult classic Purple Rain. They debate whether it's a musical movie or a movie with music, get into Prince's image and sexuality (with some speculation by Jon about the characters in the film), and Many and Tyler make basketball metaphors that Jon understood.Also: sorry Steve.Prince's Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_(musician)Three Films and a Podcast's Socials: @threefilmspodThree Films and a Podcast's Website: https://www.threefilmspod.comPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Riverdale - "One Hundred and Twelve: American Psychos"!

Ep. 136 - Miami Connection (1987) (w/ Shady)

Where to begin with this one - Shady really wanted to talk about Miami Connection, and Jon said, "Absolutely." They talk about Dragon Sound, Y.K.

Ep. 135 - School of Rock (2003) (w/ Ryan Pak and Nicole Barlow)

Fellow podcasters Ryan and Nicole - without Brandice - join Jon in talking about the Jack Black classic movie School of Rock. Jon delves into the Broadway musical when Nicole becomes the host of the episode, and Ryan has some fun stories that he peppers into the episode. All in all, it's a good movie that still holds up but needs more songs within the film?Soundtrack Your Life's Instagram: @soundtrackcastPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Miami Connection!

Jayson comes back on the pod to talk about Big Bird..or is this story about Ms. Finch? Any way, Jayson gives Jon directions to Sesame Street so they both can Follow That Bird. And while they do talk about the movie, they tend to veer into different childhood and other Henson Corporation properties.Jayson’s Instagram: @jaysonlkerrJay & A Are Gay: https://www.liinks.co/jayanda_aregayPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: The King and I (1999)!

Ep. 129 - Alice in Wonderland (1976) (w/ Jay Clinton)

It's time we get sexy, again...kind of. Jay returns with a musical porn parody of Alice in Wonderland where we're convinced it's not sexy (Jon thinks it's more instructional). Jon and Jay delve into Wonderland where the Queen of Hearts is serving looks, the Tweedles are incest, and Jon is still unclear if there's beastiality happening in this movie.

Jon and Jonathan go Into the Woods with this episode to discuss how the movie got it so...wrong. They discuss at great lengths the tone of the movie and compare it to the stage version (well, Jonathan has a better understanding of the stage show than Jon does).

Ep. 127 - The Last Unicorn (1982) (w/ Battles)

Battles comes back on the pod to talk about America. No, not the country: the band that had that one song "Horse with No Name" who also wrote and recorded songs for today's trauma inducing film The Last Unicorn. Jon has many questions because he neither read the book nor grew up with this movie, and Battles tries to guide him as best as she can.

He, along with Jon, really just blast through the musical episode of the show and dissect the series, as well as speculate what they'll do for season two.Also, Jon forgot about this running gag, and we don't mention it in the episode but we still need to try to get Bernadette Peters to go on a date with Scott to Fuddruckers!Writer’s Bagel Basket Socials - Instagram: @writersbagelbasketTwitter: @wrtrbagelbasketHell Is A Musical Socials - Instagram: @hellisamusicalTwitter: @hell_podPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: The Last Unicorn!

Jon kicks off the Second Appearance Series with friend Tommy Schwanfelder! Tommy returns with fun facts about and his love for Godspell, talks about his Godspell memorabilia, and how impressed he is with this movie making 1970s New York City (*cough*Manhattan*cough*) look clean and empty.

Jon makes fast friends with fellow podcasters Chris and Gary while the three profess their love of this romp of a movie! To say one can see the cocaine that produced Voyage of the Rock Aliens is an understatement. This is a masterpiece. And Jon is patiently waiting for Chris and Gary to bring him on their podcast as a guest to continue talking about this movie.The Horror. Cult. Trash. Other.

So you know what that means - we're exploring our childhood movies, but this time (shockingly) it's Jon's childhood we're stepping into as they talk about You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Jon and Jayson fawn over this animated TV special, talk about the 1999 revival, and Jayson has an epiphany where he compares this to another show and Jon needs to lie down afterwards.Jayson’s Instagram: @jaysonlkerrJay & A Are Gay: https://www.liinks.co/jayanda_aregayPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Shock Treatment!

Emilee lists her favorite and least favorite songs from the season, Jon has a theory (finally) when glee "club" happens, and they both feel bad for the new cast members.Also, Kristi makes her final appearance as special guest for the Glee episodes (she might be back?) where she gets a little emotional about how the Glee writers paid homage to music educators.Emilee's Wattpad: @stberrylaneGleek Please Instagram: @gleekpleasepodcastPodcast Socials -Email: [email protected]: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: The Last Five Years!
