Dylan and Connor are joined by John Cardoza (The Notebook, Moulin Rouge). Vibes are immaculate as they sat down during The Notebook\u2019s opening week with the star playing \u201cYounger Noah.\u201d The twins and John discuss Sunday\u2019s Academy Awards telecast, including favorite wins, moments, and the iconic \u201cI\u2019m Just Ken\u201d performance. We catch up with him on The Notebook experience so far, the gorgeous score by Ingrid Michaelson, and creating a seamless character arc with Ryan Vasquez and Dorian Harewood as Noah. John also previews his opening night lewk. Then, he takes us back to his Boston boyhood, the musical influences his mom bestowed upon him, and a figure skating past life. John connects the dots from Next to Normal to Michael Greif in forming his musical theatre passion, coming full circle as the prolific director is co-helming The Notebook with Schele Williams. Some Cleveland (and Baldwin Wallace) love is shared among the boys, as John reminisces on his time on tour with Moulin Rouge. Listen in for his favorite songs to sing as Christian, and the lessons gleaned from his time with Jagged Little Pill (\u201cYou Learn\u201d vibes). But wait\u2026 there\u2019s more! Dune Part 2 raves, a Drag Race season 16 mid-point check-in, and more top off this amazing chat. We adore John!
