#musicals & pseudo-musicals

The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
Red Suitcase Adventures Episode #10
Posted May 2 2012 by Sofie Liv

It's the movie version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, directed by Joel Schumacher and starring two relatively unknown actors at the time (Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum) who clearly weren't hired for their singing abilities.

Aladdin: The Return of Jafar (1994)
Cartoon Palooza Episode #7
Posted Apr 29 2012 by Joey Tedesco

It's Joey's hate-filled review of The Return of Jafar, a lazy, badly animated cash-in on Aladdin, and the first (and probably worst) Disney direct-to-video sequel!

Spice World (1997)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #13
Posted Apr 4 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

Watch as the Spice Girls revive a kid from a coma, help deliver a baby, encounter aliens, and talk various celebrities who all should have known better (including Elton John, Bob Hoskins, Elvis Costello, and Hugh Laurie) into making cameos!

The Last Unicorn (1982)
Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack Episode #19
Posted Mar 28 2012 by Michael A. Novelli

Mendo and special guest The Omega have a sleepover and review the strangely morose story of a unicorn who suddenly realizes she's the last of her kind, and goes on a quest with a magician to find out what happened to the rest of her species. Along the way, she has to deal with an annoyingly meta butterfly, a three-boobed harpy, a talking wino skeleton, and Jeff Bridges' singing!

Pink Lady's Great Motion Picture / Japanese Spider-Man (1978)
Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack Episode #18
Posted Feb 27 2012 by Michael A. Novelli

Mr. Mendo brings us twice the insanity from 1978 Japan: First up, it's the one and only movie starring singing duo Pink Lady, where they help an alien creature escape the circus, and teleport back to the Old West. After that, it's the Japanese Spider-Man, who gets his powers from a guy from the planet Spider, along with his very own giant robot sidekick!

Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Stuff You Like Episode #1
Posted Feb 16 2012 by Sursum Ursa

It’s the first episode of Stuff You Like, where redheaded fangirl Sursum Ursa waxes enthusiastic about movies, TV shows, and anything else that comes to mind!

She kicks things off with Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Ursa really, really loves this film. Seriously. It’s quite sweet. Join her for songs, sarcasm, recurring motifs and character development. Belle meets Beast. Story arc ensues.

Moulin Rouge (2001)
Thoroughly Manly Musicals Episode #3
Posted Aug 19 2011 by Stan Ferguson

“Stan returns from the dead with a whole new manly musical: Moulin Rouge, the Orphean tale of a young chump and his sexy lady of the evening. Does this classic love story have what it takes to win Stan over? Can Stan resist the charms of adult contemporary songs sung by beautiful actors and the guy from Harry Potter 6? Does Stan feel like an idiot writing these things in the third person? The answer to all these questions—save the last—can be found inside the video thing below, and all it takes is one click of your mouse!”

Mamma Mia! (2008)
Thoroughly Manly Musicals Episode #2
Posted Aug 12 2011 by Stan Ferguson

“Here we go again with another Thoroughly Manly Musical! In this episode, Super trooper Stan takes a chance on the ABBA musical nobody asked for, and finds something that was clearly only made for money, money, money. Will Stan request an SOS, or will the experience bring out his inner dancing queen? Who cares? After spending this much time coming up with stupid ABBA references, we’re pretty sure he’s going to kill himself anyway.”

Tommy (1975)
Thoroughly Manly Musicals Episode #1
Posted Jul 8 2011 by Stan Ferguson

“Stan looks at Tommy, the 1975 musical based on the Who’s rock opera about a deaf, dumb blind kid who sure plays a mean pinball. Directed by Ken Russell (who apparently hates epileptics), the movie stars Ann-Margret (who shows off some impressive eye acting), a creepy, tone-deaf Oliver Reed, and Roger Daltrey as Tommy, who's got a fever, and the only cure is more pinball!”

Toomorrow (1970)
Posted Jan 17 2010 by Mark "Scooter" Wilson

“You know how Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is this really insane, nonsensical, and totally brainless movie musical featuring great Beatles songs performed badly? Remove the words “great” and “Beatles” from the previous sentence, and you’re getting close to a description of this movie.”

Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)
Posted Dec 27 2009 by Michael A. Novelli

“Socrates was a firm believer in teaching by asking, ‘Why?’ Darren Lynn Bousman is a firm believer in teaching by asking, ‘Would you be capable of figuring this out without me here to hold your hand’?”
Staying Alive (1983)
Posted Mar 9 2009 by Ed Harris

"I think we may have seen more of John Travolta's crotch in this 96-minute film than Kelly Preston has in the entire time she's been married to him."

High School Musical (2006)
Posted Oct 23 2008 by Albert

"What are friends for, if not to murder your dreams before making them come true?"

Quest for Camelot (1998)
Posted Sep 14 2008 by Rori Stevens

"What people who hate Western animation think the whole genre is like."

KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978)
Posted Aug 10 2008 by Keith McPhatter

"A year before this movie, KISS was on top of the world. A year after, gravity started to catch up. Perhaps this film was the peak, as well as a good reason to jump from one."

Xanadu (1980)
Posted Nov 21 2007 by LaShawn Wanak

"Like watching your big sister making googly eyes with her boyfriend on the couch while listening to cheesy music, and you can't escape because they've chained you to a chair."

Michael Jackson's "Ghosts" (1997)
Posted Oct 31 2006 by Albert

Back in '93, when Michael seemed merely eccentric in a Howard Hughes kind of way, "Ghosts" probably would have played better, or at least not utterly horrifying. But given what he's been accused of since then, it's hard to sympathize with him in this video. After all, we learn his character is inviting young boys to his hideaway, and exacting promises from them to keep quiet about what goes on there. Amazingly, this whole "film" is all about why sane adults should not freak out about this.

Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! (1989)
Posted Jan 26 2006 by Mark "Scooter" Wilson

"You can be a conceited asshole, just as long as you're a conceited asshole who's also a famous dead genius rock star in disguise."

Moonwalker (1988)
Posted Apr 20 2004 by Rori Stevens

"Look, Michael. I talked to Annie. She's okay, Michael. For the love of God, Annie is okay!"

Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (1972)
Posted Dec 23 2002 by Albert

An Agony Booth Christmas special!

"After seeing this movie, all your kids will want for Christmas is some serious psychotherapy."
