Over a year later Dustin makes a triumphant return to the pod to continue with this series.

It's officially spooky on the pod, and the Opera Boys are back with another not opera movie. But this one is set in an opera house. Dario Argento made a little giallo film that is as dramatic as operas can be, but Jon still has a lot of questions.

Jon came super prepared for this one (for once). Joined by Lauren, the two delve into this beautiful story but are disappointed by the lack of singing by these singers. Luckily, Lauren was just in a production of the show and was able to answer some questions that this movie left Jon with. Jon also got in touch with Broadway star NaTasha Yvette Williams who was the first replacement for Sofia in the original Broadway production of The Color Purple to talk more about that character and hear
