b"Bugsy Malone was a 1976 musical gangster film written and directed by Alan Parker, who would later go on to direct acclaimed films like Mississippi Burning, Midnight Express, and The Commitments. Parker presented a setting at the height of the gangland 1920s, following the titular Bugsy Malone, a con man and swindler caught up in a war between two rival gangs. The twist of the film however, came from a cast consisting entirely of young children; it featured a young Scott Baio and Jodie Foster in starring roles, and a soundtrack written and performed by Paul Williams. (Who oddly overdubbed the singing voice of most of the male characters.) The film was a baffling critical success, especially in the UK, where it is a beloved piece of cinema that won multiple BAFTA awards.

On this episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott welcome back previous guest Christopher Brown to dissect Bugsy Malone, a thoroughly perplexing piece of film that has plagued Scott for over 30 years. Join them as they give Alan Parker the business for some thoroughly creepy behavior, remain confused over the usage of guns that shoot pies instead of bullets, and come up with a brand new can't-fail pilot project.
