5678: A Movie Musical Podcast

Welcome to 5678, a movie musical podcast where two best friends, separated by geography but united in their love for musical theater, review and breakdown movie-musicals. Each episode we dissect a new movie musical, ranging from the 1930"s all the way up to today, all the while giggling, snorting, and generally being absolute dunces. So powder those noses and tape down those boobs, we"re about to start rolling.
