DUUUN dun-dun-dun-dun-dun: this week Viewing Party talks the film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical The Phantom of the Opera! Our friend Leah joins us in the blanket fort to chat about the insane drama of this movie. In this episode Leah apologizes to teenagers, Katie shares the story of a literal dream come true, Wesleigh solves a mystery about Drew Carey, and for some reason we talk a lot about Gerard Butler’s thighs.

Episode 11: Brigadoon


Pie on a windowsill, this episode is amazing! For this week's Viewing Party we decided it was time for a musical, and dug up a classic from Wesleigh's childhood, Brigadoon. This sci-fi film masquerading as a Broadway period piece inspired discussions on sensory deprivation tanks, flirt dancing, grandmas, and Doctor Who. And in our favorite bit to date, Katie learns that Wesleigh is not immune to the power of forearms.
