Located on a small expansion shelf about midway between the Third and Fourth Circles, Musical Hell is presided over by Diva, a minor demon charged with passing judgement on the worst musicals ever committed to film. (She still hasn't figured out if this is their punishment or hers.) Take a seat on the bench and have your earplugs ready, because court is now in session.

New videos posted on the first Monday of the month. Other viewpoints, news, and general ramblings posted when they crop up.

You Tube Captioning: Everybody (Backstreet's Back)

Here's the first of my YouTube Captioning blog posts! Children of the 90s may remember the Backstreet Boys, where were one of roughly sixty million boy bands floating around the pop charts at the time. Here's my take on their video "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" in which the blandly pretty boys go all Thriller on several classic movie monsters (three of whom inspired musicals to varying degrees of success). Don't forget to check out the YouTube Captioning Blog, and be sure to come back next Monday for an all-new Musical Hell Review!
