19. "The Red Team Musical Episode!" - Adaptations of Sweeney Todd, Mamma Mia, & Rent (with Emily Gulbrandsen)

The hills are alive, with the sound of ~conflict~! But not the one you're thinking of, because screw giving those assholes any more attention. We're talking about the natural animosity garnered from talking about film adaptations of stage musicals! This week we're joined by TJ's dear friend Emily Gulbrandsen, as we search in vain for a truly capable film to fill the void of the live stage (WEAR A MASK). Join us as we discuss the omnipresence of Helena Bonham Carter, poor CGI, Pierce Brosnan's nonexistent singing career, 35 year olds playing 22 year olds, and SO many musical references.
