What would happen if you woke up and almost everyone in the world didn't know who The Beatles were? Well, this movie answers that question.

Life"s But A Song ·

2025/08/18

We head back to 1960s (via 1996) in this iconic film about a one hit wonder band that surprisingly has a lot of original songs in it. Just by looking at the title, do you hear the titular song?Marc's Instagram: @bwayghostlightMarc's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@broadwaybyghostlightPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Yesterday!

2025/08/14

Jon joins the forces of Aaron and Jay to talk about this hidden gem that is also very problematic. In the episode, they discuss the stage version's changes, tap dancing elevator, and how Carol Channing is the A plot.Beards and Sundries (kick ass) Website: https://beardsandsundries.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaf_PAqW-08AQuDRO8ocIF8wwYgQCaNOEnOLsJs-Nm5ASBJgDVT0nQl6LWmh6A_aem_fo66Huu5s0Ivb5kWPLSN4QAaron's Socials: @trueaaronchoiAaron's Twitch: @truechoistoryPodcast Socials -Email:

Ep. 465 - Rhinestone (1984) (w/ Jayson Kerr)

Life"s But A Song ·

2025/08/11

Jon took a big swing with this pick - he's basing this off of How Did This Get Made. Joined with bestie Jayson, the two propose a stage version, go off on various tangents (unsurprisingly), and laugh their way through the episode.Jayson’s Instagram: @jaysonlkerrPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Thoroughly Modern Millie!

2025/08/04

We kick off another month of Jon's Picks with a movie that we're all surprised hasn't been covered yet. Joined by bestie of the pod Arianna, Jon heads back to the Styne/Sondheim classic about a stage mom who may or may not have had some narcissistic tendencies, while everyone around her is trying to protect her in some way, shape, or form.Arianna’s Socials -Instagram/TikTok: @ladyaria_Website: www.ariannaarmon.comPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram:

2025/07/31

Welcome back to the early 2000s, where comedy was weird, people don't understand the geography of New York City, and the era of Michael Cera. Scott brings his When Scary Met Stabby co-host CB onto the pod for the first time, and they with Jon discuss how this should have been a musical.

2025/07/28

Mary and Steven are back to talk more about Oklahoma! But this time it's the film version! They plus Jon have a very different read on the show because the movie felt very different - potentially because of the changes made...? But the trio liked the movie.From the Top! link: https://linktr.ee/fromthetoppodcastMisery Loves Movies Instagram: @miserylovesmoviespodPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Nick and

2025/07/24

We welcome new guest to the pod Meghan who brings a strong first episode! In a movie that you probably haven't heard of but with an all star cast she and Jon discuss the fragile male ego, Kate Winslet, and the choice of how the songs are "sung."Thesis on Joan Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thesisonjoan?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafdJOu5nS04D9DBXpseNmXXOJPukI3THwrYFAgFKrWbJjsnC9b4THEUERgY4w_aem_TDJB2VeDmSf7rLpZdMWOdgPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram:

We head back in the world of Jim Henson this episode with Tyler, who is a David Bowie expert (which Jon forgot), to revisit Labyrinth. They discuss their theories as to what's actually happening, Tyler brings some outsider knowledge about this movie and it's novelization, and they bring up Bowie's very prominent crotch.Tyler's Instagram: @tylerhenryactorPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Romance &

We're heading back to Bob's Burgers to discuss two episodes where one has an epic musical moment, and the other has a song about butts.

We're doing it. Ashley is back to get into a deep discussion about mental health and musical theatre.

2025/07/07

We're doing something a little different this episode: Jon got in touch with comedian Emily Wilson about her special, and got to live his Oprah fantasy and interview her about the making of her special, her time on The X Factor, and somehow kept his composure the whole time (not really).Emily's Website: https://www.therealemilywilson.com/Podcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Next to Normal (2024 West End

Life"s But A Song ·

2025/07/03

The movie title lies - it is not the first nudie musical. However, it is somewhat funny (1970s comedy, everyone - grain of salt). Jim is back to talk about dongs, boobs, and potential parody.Film Rage Socials: @filmrageyyPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: FIXED: How I Got REJECTED by Reality TV!

2025/06/30

Jon and Roland are confused about this not biopic. They love the historic figure of Hans Christian Andersen and Danny Kaye is an amazing actor outside of this movie, just something was off and the two were feeling very meh about this movie.Roland's Instagram: @rolandrusinekHelluva Boss: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-uopgYBi65HwiiDR9Y23lomAkGr9mm-SPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: The First Nudie

2025/06/19

Happy milestone episode, everyone! Sierra and Pete came up with this idea to live react while watching a movie, and they picked a very historical film that unfortunately the colorized print does not exist anymore. However, the show must go on and with Jon they had a blast doing this.If you want to watch the video episode here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wN1Z_rqHbESierra’s Instagram: @sierrareinMarquee Five: @marqueefivePete's Website: www.pete.inkPodcast Socials -Email:
