Lets go !!!!! I'm so excited
I love Starkid but hadn’t seen this one yet. Their talent and humor is on point as usual. So fun! If the apocalypse comes in our lifetime, I hope it looks like this.
If you’re looking for more musical content to add to Mondays, have you thought about adding more musical tv series reactions like Galavant or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, or perhaps reacting/analyzing musical episodes of non-musical shows?
I loved Galavant!!! It was crazy seeing Timothy Omundson sing and dance since I was used to seeing him play Lassiter on Psych.
I think the swearing makes sense here because I would definitely being swearing up a storm during the apocalypse! But I also do that in my daily life, lol.
The opera day with the landscapers sounds genuinely hilarious!
This is a fun slice-of-life-turned-upside-down type show. It’s like a mix of The Blob and Office Space with choreography. I’ve had bosses like Gary Cole’s character from Office Space - strolling around, asking for reports, asking you to work overtime just before it’s time to go home. Ugh.. Never had a boss like Mr. Davidson, though! That was quite the song. (“What Do You Want, Paul?”)
Mariah Rose Faith the one who plays the greenpeace activist and zoe the barista was part of the mean girls 1st us tour and played Regina. The guy who didn't like musicals was her first show with starkid.
Jeff Blim is the composer and he's the tenor with the long hair! So he was able to write all his own songs to showcase his high rock voice. Starkid started out doing parody musicals at the University of Michigan, then moved to Chicago, and now some of them are still in Chicago but most of them are in LA. This show is the start of them moving away from parody and focusing on doing more truly original work. Glad you're having fun with it! Starkid has a great sense of humour and staging, and they have tons of shows on youtube for free. This one is the first of a trilogy of horror-themed shows based in the same fictional town. The final show of the three is Nerdy Prudes Must Die which is particularly excellent in my opinion. Can't wait for the second half of the show! Some of the best moments are yet to come!
As a side note, since you mentioned Steven Universe - it's a great show, although I have to say that it's a pretty slow burn. There are a lot of episodes and it takes a while to grow into its full potential, so have some patience with it. It's rewarding but it is a show aimed at a younger demographic so be prepared for that energy.
