Published: April 3, 2023, 4 a.m.

That Thing You Do! is a 1996 comedy film written, directed, and co-starring Tom Hanks, detailing the rise and fall of a one-hit wonder pop act from the 1960s. The cast featured Tom Everett Scott, Liv Tyler, Johnathon Schaech, and Steve Zahn among others, and included a soundtrack written largely by Hanks himself, with contributions from Adam Schlesinger of Fountains Of Wayne, and other professional songwriters. The film performed modestly at the box office while receiving rave reviews from critics, and has since gone on to be a cult classic film.

On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott are joined by Al Gentile for a viewing of That Thing You Do!. Join them as Al discusses the intricacies of caramel camels, Lilz relives some troubling local music memories, and Scott idolizes Steve Zahn's character.
