Know the Score: Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds

So for today's Know the Score, we're talking about concept albums. One album in particular: Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds!

Musical Hell: Hi-Tops

*sings* It's the eighties! Do a lot of coke and vote for Ronald Reagan! And also watch this Christian musical about the dangers of peer pressure, Hi-Tops!

At the Source: La Boheme

Happy MLK Day! To celebrate let's look at what happens when a bunch of white boys think poverty is cool. It's an At the Source dive into the opera behind Rent, La Boheme!

Musical Hell: Doctor Dolittle

Hey, it's 2020! Can we call a mulligan on the year yet? In any case, here's Doctor Dolittle, starring Rex Harrison and a bunch of animals (who were slightly more well behaved than Rex Harrison). It was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, so it can't be all that bad, right?....Right?

Know the Score: Frozen II and Cats

Merry Christmas! This year in your Know the Score stocking, you get a review of Frozen II which was heavily delayed because I had bigger fish to fry, namely the utter weirdness that is Cats! (To answer your inevitable question: Eventually, but I haven't set a date yet.)

Musical Hell: Elf Bowling

The holidays are in full swing, and you know what that means! Time to review another awful Christmas musical, and this year it's a doozy. It's the infamous Elf Bowling: The Movie!

At the Source: The Newsboy Strike of 1899

In our first At the Source Patreon request, we're looking at the real events behind the Disney cult favorite Newsies. Turns out there was a lot less dancing involved. And more minors smoking cigarettes.
