Musical Hell: Descendants 2

Happy Labor Day, everybody! (Well, everybody in the US, all you other folks have a happy early September Monday.)  School is back in session, which means it's time to check in with the kids at Auradon Prep to see how things are going (spoiler: pretty much same old, same old).  Here's the long awaited Descendants 2!

At the Source: Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw

Musical Hell: Sextette

The latest Musical Hell episode is another Patreon request, and something of a legend in the annals of bad film history.  Enjoy (if that's the word) Mae West's final performance in Sextette!

Know the Score: Hello Again

Hey, did you know there was a movie musical released last November?  Did you also know it's weird as fuck?  But it's a good weird, mostly.  Enjoy the bed-hopping and time-hopping of Hello Again!

Musical Hell: The Lorax

Another month, another Musical Hell review!  Let's talk about saving the trees--specifically how many gave their lives to the silly script for The Lorax.
