Baz Luhrmann's extravagant (doesn't that go without saying?) adaptation of The Great Gatsby comes to theaters this month. As usual the score is one of the more peculiar aspects of his movie, so Know the Score takes a look at how well the eclectic sound works.

Titanic: The Legend Goes On-now with COMMENTARY!
In order to catch up after the wild and crazy times of putting together the anniversary episode, "Know the Score" is taking a short break this month. In order to tide you over, please enjoy this commentary track I recorded for the very first Musical Hell review! Which is mostly apologies for how badly the first episode turned out in retrospect.

Musical Hell Review: The King and I (ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL)
No foolin', this month marks one year of me doing this review show thing! And to celebrate, I'm taking a look at one of the worst things to happen to a good musical: the animated adaptation of The King and I!
Special thanks to all the swell folks who contributed cameos to this momentous occasion. And thank you, yes you, for watching and supporting this strange little project of mine. It's been a lot of fun, and there's more planned for the future!

Crossover Madness!
Wow, I can't believe I've been doing this for nearly a year already. It's been a lot of fun so far, and I've met some amazingly cool and talented people. (SEGUE APPROACHING)
In fact, I have a couple crossovers with said cool and talented people to tide you over before the big anniversary special next week. First off, if you haven't seen my crossover review with DJSoundBite on High School Musical, watch it, because it's a terrible movie. High School Musical, I mean, not the crossover video. The crossover video is awesome.
Secondly, The Cheapskate invited me back for another live commentary episode, which means I must not have mucked up the first one that badly. So here's us taking a look at the cheesiest of all cheesy music icons, Liberace!

Know the Score: Sondheim vs. Lloyd Webber (plus crossover fun!)
It's time for this month's Know the Score! In honor of Stephen Sondheim's and Andrew Lloyd Webber's mutual birthday Friday, we're taking a look at what's great--and not-so-great--about these two very different but very influential music theater composers.
And when you're done watching that, check out my crossover with internet superhero DJSoundbite, as we tackle the mephitic mess that is High School Musical!

Musical Hell Review: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
So my computer's been acting up today, and although I think the problem's sorted out I don't want to worry about this thing dying on me when my tech support (aka Mr. Diva) is on vacation. So that means you're getting the next Musical Hell Review a little bit early! It's that bizarre mish-mash that could only come when you throw together the creative talents behind James Bond, Willy Wonka, and Bert the Chimney-Sweep together: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
And a reminder to all you lovely folks who are contributing material for next month's anniversary special: please get your footage to me as soon as possible, and by March 15th at the latest. To those of you who've already sent stuff in, thank you once again--I'm really pleased with the way this is shaping up!
