2025/02/27

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! You mission, should you choose to accept it (and there’s really not much of a choice according to Amanda Waller) is to join Gibby, Kaylie, and Bodio as they try to survive watching the two Something Squad movies. They're basically the same...well, that’s not fair to say. One of these movies has The Weasel in it and is therefore superior. But why does one movie work so well and one fail so hard you’d think it was trying to lose money? And how did the bad o...

Moulin Rouge!

The Liberal Artists ·

2025/02/13

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome Im Caba- wait, wrong show. What Gibby, Kaylie, and Bodio meant to say was prepare for a spectacular spectacle, one with glitz, glamour, and a serious case of tuberculosis. It’s time for Moulin Rouge, the gateway drug to a career in musical theater! But how does the show get the audience to believe in LOVE and other Bohemian ideals? Can the spectacle survive a jump into a narrative pool that is mere inches in depth? And why i...
