In case you missed it: we have defeated Evan Hansen
Michael Paulson in today's New York Times:
“Dear Evan Hansen,” a heart-tugging musical about an awkward adolescent who tells a terrible lie, will end its run on Broadway on Sept. 18, five years after winning the Tony Award for best new musical.
The show opened to enormous acclaim and has been a significant hit, but it suffered a double blow from the coronavirus pandemic and a poorly received film adaptation, and has in recent months been soft at the box office.
What media property should we attempt to defeat next? Sound off in the comments.

Famed New York Podcasters SLAM 2005 video game SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG: “a bizarre conflux of the newly minted E10+ rating, baroque IP necromancy, and ‘War’ ‘On’ ‘Terror’ malaise”
Okay I mostly love your Odyssey eps, like literally my favorite of all podcasts in my feed when they come through—but there’s this truly incredible movie called The Buttercream Gang from I think the early 90s produced by a Morman direct to VHS production shingle Feature Films for Families. Honestly any of the big FFF hits (Jacob Have I Loved, something called “No More Baths” that i’ve never actually seen) would probably be a spectacular time.
This just unearthed a deeply buried childhood memory. The Buttercream Gang, my god.
