We conclude our Screen to Stage miniseries by adding one more Riverdale adjacent episode under Ashley's belt. She and Jon travel to 1990s New York City to debate whether or not Patrick Bateman is a serial killer. They also discuss the stage version and how much it took from the movie.

We're heading to Main/Wisconsin this episode to talk about a sweet, lightly religious movie that was turned into an off-Broadway musical. Lauren was fortunate enough to have seen a production of this show, where she and Jon talk about the longevity of the show while hating on Nahum in the movie.

Get ready to boogie! Jon and Colden head to ballet class this episode to check in on Billy Elliot. They talk about how this movie influenced dancers, discuss why it's difficult to put on this show, and Jon actually compliments a child actor.

Marc's back, and he conned Jon to watch this classic film. They surprisingly share the same thoughts on the stage version even though one of them actually saw the show.

We're kicking off a new series titled Screen to Stage with Stephen King's first book and first movie adaptation of his works with the iconic Carrie.

We're finally doing Dreamgirls! The Dreamgirls will never leave you, as they sing. Jon can't get over the meta casting of Beyoncé, and Lauren is in love with this movie. And they both want Lauren to play Effie at some point, soon hopefully.

This is what dreams are made of! Bestie Sam and new guest Julie are on the pod to bring us back to a simpler time of 2003 and this epic Disney show/movie that Jon has never seen before. Julie and Sam inform Jon on what he missed out from not watching the show, and the trio pitch their ideas for the canceled reboot series.

Danielle wanted to torture Jon with this movie, but he actually kinda liked it. At least Danielle was able to answer some of Jon's questions, as well as bring to light some of the details that he missed in this film.

This came about when Jon and Jim discussed The First Nudie Musical however many episodes ago, and they discovered this film during that episode. The ten minute horseback riding scene didn't save this movie.

We're going back to the circus this episode! Colden joins Jon on discussing the first musical based on P.T. Barnum's life starring the one and only Michael Crawford. They get into how this influenced theatre, Jon brings up some things he didn't like, and the two compare it to The Greatest Showman (because you have to).

Because Wuthering Heights is back in the zeitgeist, Shady challenged Jon to watch the 2003 MTV "musical" adaptation. It was...yeah...

Even though Jon and Robyn use a specific production Jon found online as a jumping off point for this episode, they end up talking about the show as a whole. And Robyn tells some stories when she was in a production of the show (coincidentally the same year as this specific production that Jon isn't going to narc on).
