We normally don't go with just movies but this month, we went back to school for September and there's a lot to mine from the stage world in this little movie! So we're going back to Rydell High for Grease 2!! Are you a Cool Rider? Are you ready to score? Or just take a musical biology class? It's time to re-enroll in Chemistry because you're a beauty school dropout and lace up your bowling shoes! https://www.facebook.com/TY5Podcast [email protected]

When life gets overwhelming, sometimes we just want to sit down and doomscroll on TikTok. And Theatertok has some pretty strong opinions on things so let's talk about them!! https://www.facebook.com/TY5Podcast [email protected]!

Welcome back!!! Matt and David had a really rough start to 2026, hence why we haven't been uploading episodes. We're back and we're looking to sit down and talk about more shows but first, we wanted to catch up and talk about shows that we find comforting right now.  Content Warning: there's a long conversation of grief on both of our ends. Both of us have lost family members in the past few months. If you'd like to skip this, please go to 16:00 (we put an ad break so if you find an ad you're at the right spot!).

Act 2 of Kiss of the Spider Woman and we're back with Molina and Valentin. Both are on the recovery from both their torture and their illnesses. Both are dreaming of the outside world and what they will do when they are free.

It's the 90s but we're in the 50s! Or is it the 80s? It's Brazil! Or is it Argentina? It's the Kiss of the Spider Woman, an early 90s queer revolutionary musical based off a movie based off a novel and that currently has a movie adaptation that for some reason is being released the same month as Wicked For Good. Molina is a queer person imprisoned for being queer. Valentin has just been thrown into the same cell. The two of them must learn to survive each other and the tortures in store for them.  CW: This episode does deal with gender, sexuality, the expression thereof and how that's been expressed and recognized over the years as well as violence caused by that.

We're talking about the musical about the French Revolution!!! Wait, no, we didn't already do that because Les Mis doesn't take place during the French Revolution! It's Frank Wildhorn's The Scarlet Pimpernel, the musical with almost as many versions as Chess. Based on a novel (and a play and a series of books and a series of movies and ...) by Baroness Orczy at the turn of the century, it had a number of openings, closing, rewrites, and attempts at Tony awards. Percy Blakeney marries the beautiful French woman Margaueritte only to find she's been instrumental in turning in nobility to the executioners. So, he takes on a disguise to help people escape France, chased by the relentless Chauvelin. Find out what happens in the episode!

What happens when a natural miracle promises health and curative powers for the citizens? And who is this mysterious man who shows up to help out the citizens when they can't tell who's a patient at the hositpal and who's a citizen of the town?
