Life's But A Song
A podcast that lives in the land of musicals. I'm joined by a new guest each episode to discuss either musical movies, musical TV series, or the musical episode of a show. https://linktr.ee/Butasongpod
Episodes
Although it was not originally an MGM movie, it technically is one now so Jon decided to bend the rules of his own podcast (shocker) and added this into MGM month. Joined by Danielle and Chris, only one of this trio has seen this movie before and they all agree it is insane and very horny.

Lauren's here to celebrate MGM month with an all star cast and beautiful gowns. Loosely based on a book-turned-musical-turned-RKO-musical-movie, this version has a lot of beautiful images and fun musical numbers that come out of nowhere.

Colden brought Esther Williams to the pod! He and Jon get into this movie that is filled with cameos that makes Jon wonder if this was a movie for the troops a la a USO show. Also, why is it called Bathing Beauty?

We're not mad, just disappointed. Jon and Arianna head to a magical time via MGM studio sets where things are just fine, even though one of the directors checked out of this project. But there's Howard Keel.

We're finally doing this movie, which is surprising to Jon and a lot of other people. New guest Jessica Catena brought a banger for a first episode to the pod! She and Jon talk all things about Judy Garland, the World's Fair(s), and what Halloween was like in 1903.

We're ready for our closeups, Mr. DeMille! Roland kicks off MGM month with a film that he and Jon did not like, but did like some elements of the movie. Be careful of the Zeppelin!

Sheila's back (new name, same person) where she talks about her new love Gina Gershon! She and Jon guess what the stage version was like as well as what year this movie takes place in. They do talk about the serious moments in the show, but also get into the banger music.
Also: Happy Pride!

We're heading to Ireland this episode to make a soul band! Christopher and Danielle join forces to talk about the crazy ride this band goes on, and Christopher shares some stories about how this movie mimics his life in a way. And this movie is all about the song selection!

Even though it's not a musical, Jon pitched a few ideas in order to make this into one. And he and Lauren are lusting after the dance moves from Gregory Hines and Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Sierra is back to talk about a Fred Astaire movie...wait, no, it's a Cyd Charisse movie featuring Fred Astaire! Jon is confused (as per usual) and Sierra is here to be his sherpa. Also, welcome to the Cold War.

Jon managed to get one of the actors from the musical Suffs, Jenna Bainbridge, to come on the pod to talk about the show. He was able to get his interviewer fantasy on this episode, while Jenna shared her story with the show and some fun behind the scenes stories. Keep marching on.

It's so nice that we had to do it twice! Jon revived our first milestone episode (500 episodes ago!), but basically quadrupled it. He asked our former guests to come up with musical moments in non musical television shows and films, and 14 of them responded with various and very fun topics. Most of them were a trip down memory lane.
Feel free to jump to different segments. This is a long episode, and we're not so...
Jon and Jayson thought it would be fun to watch and talk about this movie. However...

We're closing out AAPI Heritage Month with this little number that is...well...racist. Aaron did choose this one, and Jon had to cover it at some point. Hopefully the latest production that David Henry Hwang rewrote fixed a lot of the issues.

Well, this was...a movie. Roland suggested this one as an episode and he and Jon were very mid on it. Lucille Bremer and Fred Astaire star in this movie where everything was just okay.

Surprisingly, we're finally doing this! Jon got in touch with fellow podcasters Martha Madrigal and Charles Tyson Jr. to discuss a revival of a musical theatre classic that Jon and Charles have never seen before, but they've definitely heard a lot of these songs. Also, Sutton Foster is a goddess.
