Know the Score: (Another) Top Five Opening Numbers

 Hey, remember a long time ago when I did a list of some of my favorite opening numbers? Well, here's some more!

Musical Hell TV: The Magic Flute

 Yes, the latest Musical Hell TV riff is taking a look at Mozart's classic Freemason acid trip! Well, a half-hour animated abridgement of it, anyway. Don't worry, the uncomfortably outdated views of race and gender are entirely intact.

Diva Reacts: 2024 Tony Award Performances

 I'm getting caught up on the latest musicals, and you get to watch--and freak out about Eddie Redmayne's Emcee.

Diva Reacts: Wicked First Full Trailer

 The new Wicked trailer has been out for about a week, and I Have Opinions about it! Check out the video to see what they are!

Musical Hell TV: Golden Films' "Tarzan of the Apes"

 It's time for another riff of another Golden Films animated mockbuster! Expect the usual amount of overly loud classical music and bland character design, and more than the usual amount of colonialism.

Musical Hell GRAND FINALE: The Devil's Carnival

And here it is. Thank you everyone who came with me on this journey, and stay tuned for more analysis, riffing, and other fun things in the future.

 

 

At the Source: Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood

 For today's At the Source, we're going back a hundred years to a place where a rich queer culture lived in the shadow of imminent fascism. Wild, huh?

(Please note: the pre-roll accidentally got muted, but the rest of the video should be fine.)
