2025/03/20

Jayson is stuck in the '70s and dragged Jon to a disco that closes at midnight (weird).

Arianna brings to us a film Jon has heard about for a while, and is happy this is the first time he's watched it. Children playing gangsters but in a serious way. Cream pies as weapons.

We close off Jon's Picks with a long and weird musical movie starring Rex Harrison, so naturally Jon picked bestie Colden to talk about this movie (which Jon assumed Colden has seen already). The two get into this movie as much as the props designer did with the Great Pink Sea Snail.Thank you to Gary Kochey for suggesting this one.Colden's Social -Instagram: @coldenlambWebsite: www.coldenlamb.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ColdenLambA Marc Blitzstein Archive YouTube:

Ep. 417 - The Lady Objects (1938) (w/ Sierra Rein)

2025/02/24

There is one specific reason why Jon picked Sierra to do this one and it's to make up for the last Jon's Picks episode that she was on! But the two also discuss this movie in length, or as much as they can because the film has a fast runtime.Sierra’s Instagram: @sierrareinMarquee Five: @marqueefivePodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Doctor Dolittle (1967)!

Valentine's Day is near, and Jon wanted to do this crazy movie.
