As 2021 closes up, Andrew and Johnny look back at the year’s episodes, the good, the bad and the forgotten entirely. It’s a chill overview of year 5 of the podcast, a good way to get settled in to the next run of the show if you’re wanting an entry point.
BONUS - TICK, TICK... BOOM! COMMENTARY
Happy holidays to all! Johnny and Andrew are back in-person, and opening presents, as they watch their favourite film of 2021, talking Sondheim, Cats, Lin-Manuel Miranda, adventures in Oslo, Vanessa Hudgens’ filmography and also a nice pop-in of friend of the show Richard Kind. Come join the fun by syncing up with the film on Netflix, the commentary starts at 00:18:29
207 - THE LAST FIVE YEARS
What if Anna Kendrick was one of two leads in a romance drama musical? That runs 90 minutes? And came out in 2014?
Well, by rights it’d be a thing you’d at least have heard about, right? Thus, this is a film that 100% doesn’t exist. Yes it is another Johnny pick!
149 - CATS: ULTIMATE EDITION
Before the film adaptation arrives, the recorded West End performance DVD is viewed by super-fan Johnny and newbie Andrew. The breakdown of humanity and suavity is revealed.
148 - ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE
An early start to Musical Month sees Johnny highlight one of his favourites, a UK horror zombie musical comedy. Andrew can’t quite get a grip before seeing it, will he discover the magic before curtain call?
BONUS - LET'S MAKE A MOVIE - WIND MONKEY IN SPACE
Andrew returns to the novelty improv format with Darren to make a Western Musical… in SPACE!
065 - JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
The boys are off to see Hamilton tonight, but Johnny has one last film to offer Andrew before they sing, dance and rap all night. Andrew prepares to feast on the last supper of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic.
BONUS - MAMMA MIA!
It's summer and we're celebrating with a bonus episode, Johnny desperately wants to watch Pierce Brosnan sing Abba songs, and Andrew does not. What could happen?
019 - CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL
Singing, violence, South Park. It's the Christmas episode and we're as vulgar and odd as anything. Merry holiday days!
006 - LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
Johnny has never seen Little Shop Of Horrors. Andrew has only seen it once. They buy tickets to a 70mm showing and show off about it. And you get to listen to all their woeful singing and terrifying comedy. It's as painful as a visit to a modern day Steve Martin family comedy.
