Did Don Draper really buy the world of Coke? Did Tony Soprano really die? Or just order more onion rings? Were those guys really in hell the whole time, or was that just the audience? The finales of our favorite shows can make us argue, make us cry, and make us crazy. From Spotify and The Ringer, I'm Andy Greenwald, and this is Stick the Landing, a new podcast where we'll be telling the story of modern TV backwards, one fade out at a time. Each episode, a guest and I will choose a celebrated series from history,

from the 70s to the streaming era and beyond and do a deep dive on its very last episode. Was it all a dream? Did it turn into a nightmare? And, most importantly, what can we learn about tomorrow's new shows from the way yesterday's ended? TV is a journey.

I hope you'll enjoy this podcast about the destination. Starting January 17th, find Stick the Landing on Wednesdays on the prestige TV feed, on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. For adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative Collective Colleges, symptoms, every choice matters.

Hello and welcome into the Ringiverse. The Ringers next podcast feed for all things fandom. Welcome back to Mint Edition. It's the once in a while podcast about the latest and greatest fandom that you just can't live without. I'm Steve Allman. I'm Jeremy Donovan. And I'm Jessica Clemmy. Yay!

She's back. She's back. She's back. She's back. We're going to get to that in a minute. But first, I want to get to some programming reminders so that we can celebrate. the fact that Jess is back on the mic with us. On Tuesday, House of Ar is going to bring you their 2024 hype draft. Bit of a scheduling shake up there, but coming to you very soon.

This Wednesday, the Midnight Boys, are going to be giving you their instant reactions to the remaining episodes of Echo. And on Friday, House of Ar is back again to dive deep into episodes five and six of Percy Jackson. But today, welcome back to Mint Edition. We're here to have some real,

fun in celebration, kind of, of me seeing the Mean Girls movie this weekend, we are going to be talking about some musical film adaptations that we are going to be making a reality, sort of, in the form of our great game. Here comes the pitch, franchise musical edition. But before we get to that, you might have heard her a second before. Coming back, our wonderful guest, our former co-host, a rock star in her own right, Jessica Clemens. Hi. Hello, hello, hello, hello. Jessica, how are you?

I'm good. Just your birthday, no? Oh, yes, it was my birthday yesterday. Hey, happy birthday. Thank you. 30 and not flirty or dirty, but 30 and tired is mainly the... Oh, my God. I don't want to even get into it.

First of all, I want all of my big milestone birthdays to have a great pin up photo shoot that I wouldn't star in as well. Jomi as well. I don't know about that. No? I don't want to get captioned on camera. It's not really where I'm at. I didn't even take grad photos when I graduated.

You didn't take grad photos. What are your parents hang up on the wall when you're like, oh, you graduated? They're just like, my diploma that cost me $90 billion. That's what it is. But also, you take really good photos on Instagram regardless. I mean, I do what I do when I do. He knows the high angle with the high level. Like,

no, he knows. Sunlight, you know what I'm saying? It's a little regular degler. It's the sunglasses too. And he's always sunglasses. And I'm like, damn. Dersed.

You got to keep them guessing. You know, you got to be mysterious. I was not mysterious in that shoe. I was very open about a lot of things. All on front street. Excuse me. Well, today, it's a very, very special day

because we play our favorite game. Here comes the pitch where we take some of the best ideas that we have in our tiny little brains. bring them out into reality. But with the celebration of all these great musical adaptations, or some not so great, we've decided to make an idea that we would like to call the franchise musical pitch.

We take some of the best IP in fandom and see what can make the best musical that we can think of. We've gone around and revealed our picks to each other just so we wouldn't have any overlap, so it's not entirely a surprise, but the contents of which will be a real, real treat. So before we begin, Jess, Jomey, what, if any, are some of your favorite musicals? What's your experience in the world of musicals, movie musicals?

I am a big fan, obviously, people know this, of the High School Musical trilogy. That's my jam. You famously made a PowerPoint presentation at my birthday once about how high school musical two is the best in the entry in the series. Not only did I do that. Also, go on the Ringer.com on a great website. You can read a piece I did, was it like two years ago, maybe last year, about how Husk Music 2 is the best movie in the series, which it is. Facts.

Oh, it's the best songs. Come on, let's be for real. You know? And I don't really tell people this, but this is like a true story. I did musical theater in middle school. So, nice. West Side Story. Yeah.

Crazy for you. You know, I was in there, you know? And so I've been around the block, you know what I mean? So musicals, movie musicals is kind of weird because you go in there and you're like, oh, they sing. Because you know, people don't really sing in the movies. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they do.

For the most part, they don't. So you're going there and like, you know, I'm used to, if I go to a theater, like a, you know, you go to Broadway, see people saying like that. I don't know that makes sense. But then watching it on screen, I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. But yeah, I rock with musicals, man. I'm there. What about you, Jess?

I love musicals. I am a musical girl. Through and through. Oh, through and through. I go to every show at the goddamn pantages, if it's worth seeing. And then I,

every time I go to New York, I go to Broadway and go see a new, like, stage play. I went to college for theater. I went originally for art history, but then when I was like, you know what,

I want to do media communications. I started to... Wait, now, what was the Come to Jesus moment about the media communications? I was like, I don't know if this is going to work out. I said, I want to dance.

I want to look at art anymore. I want to be the art. Right, right, right. But I was like, man, I'm going to curate museums. And then I was like, you know what? I'd just rather do comedy. Why no los dos? Yeah, I should have.

I should have. But one takes too much time and one takes not enough time. I could just do, that's true. During the day, I could have been, like, at a museum studying and, like, literally finding new frontiers for art. And then at night, just go do, like, a type five. I could have. didn't. I just chose the tight five. But I love musical theater. I did it in college and I just love it.

I'm obsessed with everything about it. And my favorite is really hard to choose from. And the way I'm picking this is only because this kind of opened the door for me in musicals altogether is either wicked, wicked or Sweeney Todd. And that's because when I was like a five-year-old, my mom would not stop playing those damn songs. And I was like, oh, I'm obsessed. And then when I saw Wicked for the first time on Broadway in New York, I cried my eyes out. Did you see some OG cast members? No, and this was like, my first time in New York was like in 2018.

Okay. And I was like, I'm going to see Wicked. And when I did, they do Define Gravity. I bawled my eyes out because I was like, this is the song I mean to listen to forever. And then they go intermission. And my friend was like, okay, let's go to the bathroom. And I was like, I can't get up. I can't.

I was like, you don't understand. I will be sad. This is, yeah, I will, I'm sad. I'm sad. But no, I love musicals. Did you already see Mean Girls? No, I will be seeing it this weekend. Okay, because I was like, I love, I, I take that back.

I don't love Mean Girls the musical as a stage thing. It's very small. I love a lot of the songs, but it's also not like a huge range of music in that musical. It's all kind of like, it's all right. Whoever plays Janice is always amazing. Everything else is like, okay. The set's kind of all right. but I love Renee Rap.

Everybody loves Renee Rap. That's all I hear about it. That's kind of been the more confusing thing for me. I didn't know there was a Mean Girl's musical until they announced the movie. You've never seen the stage? You've never seen the stage. I've seen the stage, but I've never seen the stage. You're from Chicago.

No, no, no. And that's the thing. I have a smaller introduction to musicals. I was in musical theater in middle school. had a very ambitious director she did us with Lay Miz and West Side Story. Lay Miz with a rotating stage.

And also middle school I was heading stage. We did like Shakespeare middle school just to be like fun. Wait wait wait. You had a rotating stage? Yeah, because you know on Le Miz they have like that rotating stage.

I was eating school pizza that was cold and you had a rotating state you know what? It's cool, man. It's a built thing. It's L.A. City. It's LA City

I came from No him Oh yeah Yeah They was like You y'all I was drinking milk With pizza for lunch

And you had a rotating stage That's insane to have a rotating stage We had like a little Place that was clearly For one speaker And we'd be like yo Steve Pritt is You'd be like nah man I was in the mud

I was out there In Shite Town I mean out there Out there in O Block brother A rotating stage Again Ambitious director

I'll say that Okay I love them But I've I've I've enjoyed musicals For them I can respect musicals for sure, but it's got to be something

actually really gripping for me personally. I'm not exactly invested in seeing many shows. Again, an incredible stagecraft and like, I love the idea of making popular things that we've known from either film or childhood into musicals. The Beatles' musical is doing gangbusters and is very very good.

Mean Girls is going to be adapted into a movie. And I'm curious to you guys what makes a good one for the screen and what have been some of the ones that are captivating because it's a big difference between seeing it on the stage and on the screen, especially

if it's an adaptation, what do you think works best when making that for the big screen? My biggest thing, and this is probably other people, again, I haven't done musical theater in maybe 10 years because that's how long I've been out of college. But my biggest thing now is I'm like, okay, if we're taking baby steps, make sure they're a singer before they're

actor because I can't have people not hitting these fucking notes. I love Le Miz, but when I saw Russell Crowe doing his song, I said, what is this? I said, turn this off. And so I just need them, I think the Little Mermaid was a great idea of having, like, Hallie's a great actress, she's fine, but like she's foremost the best singer. So that came off so well in that movie because she's singing so well. For me, I agree with that tech.

I think that's the main thing. But also, they've got to be like bright. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know what it is about musicals, but when I go in there and it's like really like shine. I want to say shiny, but like, it's just like the energy. You know what I mean? Especially on the screen because in person,

you can feel the energy. You can feel the energy from the actors. They're like right there. So when they moat, when they do their thing, it's right in front of you. You can, like, process it better. On the screen, it can be a little, I don't want to say, like, disarming, but definitely, like, a little jarring when it's like, oh, you're acting, but also, like, where's the singing, like, where's the energy?

I think this is something. K-6's girlfriend was really good about this. Okay. Yeah, I was locked in there, four seasons, Josh, Rebecca, you know, Greg, Greg, I was there. You know? they did a really good job of letting you know like, oh yeah, they're, they're Biden and everybody's great singer, great dancer,

the energy on screen, you felt like, oh, they're really locked in. You can kind of see in some movie musicals are like, oh, they're not, they just go through the motions. You're not really there. And while I was mostly pro this movie when I saw it in December,

I saw Wonka, like it's an adapted musical, and it was very cute and charming, and it had some nice songs. Okay. But I didn't ultimately feel like It warranted a full musical adaptation. But then again, like, things can work out for the betterment if there's some original creativity from the filmmakers. And Paul King, obviously, from Paddington fame, like, he's not going to do wrong.

It's so charming. I'm sorry. I was addicted to. I was talking so much shit before going to see that movie. And then I walked in and I went, oh, this is too charming. Yeah. It's one of the bigger defeats of my life to know that I'm devastated to report that Wonka was fun. And that's how I feel, too.

Because I was like, this is just Paddington. Just a live action Paddington. I was like, it's just charming. I was like, God damn it. But also it would keep the Paddington heads really at bay for a minute just to be like, but we're just waiting for Paddington. But he's not doing it anymore. I know, but we're just like we need that hit.

Ooh. Oh, yeah. Give me them. Give me my Paddington. All right, anyway. Jesus grace. All right. So, as we begin.

All right. Actually, I'm going to take that again. All right, so to begin our game, each of us will be pitching two possible franchises across IP and movies that we think would make an exceptional musical. We each give the name of the property in fandom that we would like to see. We give a brief description of the plot line along with maybe two or three musical number descriptions, like what the song deals with, where in the plot it happens, etc. name a few people that we would like to see in the movie and maybe hash out a director or two that we'd like to see direct this.

Jess, you are our esteemed guest. I'm very excited to see what you have in her first pick. Why don't you take us through it? So the title of this musical, it was first on stage. It's been adapted from this stage to a movie. It's called Nause and the property is Fast and the Furious. So wait, this play, this is,

The musical is called N-Az. I said, save the questions for the end. All right, right, yes, yes, yes, yes. But yeah, also, yes, it's called Nause. Not to be confused with Naws, the rapper. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an O, not an A. Yes, it's an O, not an A.

An-S. Yes, no S, you guys, please. Because it's featuring a different kind of rapper that is not Nause. Of course, yes, yes, yes. Okay, so it's called Nause. And the plot line is exactly the first movie of Best in the Furious.

Okay, okay. So exactly that. And it will have such hit musical, numbers as new kid in town. I got a win featuring Jarl Rule. He's a cop. He's a cop. Okay.

Yeah. He's a cop. I see it. No, I see it. Okay. Okay. I have one more song. I have one more song.

I'm sorry. I didn't think it sounded as stupid until I said it out loud. He's a cop. Exclamation point. Heist night and we need more gnaws. Starring. Stop making me left. Don't like at me.

Starring. Dominic Turner. played by the baldhead and Harry Styles. Brian. Okay, okay. Time out. This was for stage.

This was originally stage and it's going to movies. Brian O'Connor is played by Dominic Fike and Edwin will still be Jarl rule. The director of the current day Jarl. 2014 Jarl rule.

And the director, Steven Spielberg. Okay. Steven Spielberg. Oh my God. Okay, wait. All right.

Well, okay. We got to take this. Brick by brick Okay, so For the plot of Fast and Furious Undercover cop Yes Infiltrates a

Underground L.A. Street gang To Played by Vin Diesel and Paul Walker Now is played by baldheaded Harry Styles

And Dominic Fike And Dominic Fike Okay so is he wearing a bald cap Or is the shaved head Harry side So it's like I got a like a billion questions. Should I switch the characters you think?

No, absolutely not. Dominic Fyke should be Dominic too. No, no notes for this. Probably. No, no, because Dominic Fike sings so light. He sings so light, but here's the thing. Vin Diesel is black. Oh, no.

Okay, so I hear what you're saying. And I'm sorry. And rest of peace to our guy, Paul Walker, not a brother? No. So you're saying flip it for that. I get that. I get that.

Do you think it will still play? from stage to TV. I think so. Okay. We could have Dominic Fike be like deeper. You know, I think really what it comes down to is who's gonna get swole?

You know, who do you think and get the most swore? Well, because he's not like super jacked in the first one, I guess, but like, you know, he's got something on him. This is, and this does not answer your question and it's so horrible. But you know how these adaptations are coming out

and like, to be fair, Mean Girls did come out in like 2004 and is very problematic. the original movie. And now today it's much more progressive. That's the same for the 2001 Fast and the Furious. So he's not muscally scared. It's like money scared.

It's like, oh, this person owns a lot. He owns a lot. He owns a lot. He's not a bully by force, but a bully by, gotcha. By the way, how refreshing was it to know that Harry Styles with a bald head is just like an LA7? Stop it. You said this before. And I was like, I don't think his bald head did.

I didn't think he was that attractive before, though. I'm not, like, sexually attracted to Harry Stiles. I just love his music. And we don't need to pick it apart, but I think it was just more of just like, oh. He's not, we're already picking it apart, calling him a seven. And L.A. 7's also very high still. True. Is it L.A. 7 high?

Yes, because, okay, I'm like, no, that's not nice to say by myself. I was like, I'm like an L.A. 4. So that is like, he's not four. I'm like an L.A. 7. Because in L.A. 10, I'm thinking is like Blake L.A.R. Like, those types of people. Because we're still in the city of actual, like. Movie stars.

Movie stars. So they're the tens. Calling him a seven, I'm like, yeah, yeah. A bald. Harry Styles. Listen, I would be so lucky to be a bald-headed Harry Styles.

I would love to date Taylor Russell. Oh. She's beautiful. No, yeah. So, now what? I wish I had the bob so then I could actually do it. Where does this put us now? Got a quick question.

Who was Taylor Russell? Oh, the Escap Room movies, the Black Girl. The one with Timney Chalmay where they're eating people The war movie Yeah she's very pretty Oh, waves 824

She's the 6th Come on Joie I named off three And comedy comes in threes So I did a good job You took all of your strikes So now you gotta see I'm sorry

Now it's on Joey Yeah Jomey now is your turn Okay so We got Steve at Spielberg directing this He did the color purple as well So I think he can do this And the West Side Story

Adaptation And that's what I'm kind of imagining Is the West Side Story kind of approach to it too Okay, so it's a bit, it's gritty because like the first Fast and Furious movie, it's very glossy. It's very like, like there's a shine to it, even though you're in like the L.A. underground kind of thing. Because it's like these flashy 2000s era cars. Is this a period?

Like, are we going into 2004? Remember they were stealing, they were stealing DVDs? They were. They were. Like, you imagine in 2020, like, you're 2024 adaptation. PS5s. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, hell yeah. And they're like, we got to get involved. They're stealing PS5. No, no, they're stealing leaked copies of GTA 6. Oh, we. I mean, forget the LAPD, the FBI. The CIA will be in there. Dominic Fike, FBI.

I'm pretty sure he just introduces himself like that. Dominic Fike, FBI. Yeah, Stevens Bilberg directing, because I wanted that kind of style still. When I imagine this for stage, instead of them drag racing, I imagine them dancing very, like, not like crumping, but like dancing. Like a dance battle? Crumping? Not crumping? Because I was going to say a dance off where they're fighting,

but I was like, it's not crumping, but they're dancing for the spotlight. And the spotlight's constantly moving, and then it lands on the winner. But this is a movie, so you can have them street racing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're going to, no, I'm going to have the cars. Okay. Because it's a movie, even if they're singing aggressively while they're driving,

like, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. And they're like, you guys can't see a turn. You guys are not in the studio with us. But Jess mimicked driving. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Was going with the steering wheel left and ride. Again, break down the names of the songs one more time.

You named off five, which were all exceptional. Okay. Fantastic. So songs, hit songs as in the new kid in town. Right. Yes. Yeah, that's understandable. I got a win featuring Jarl Rule.

Okay, great. Because that's the drag racing scene. He's a cop. All right, now stop right there. I want to know where this song takes place. Obviously, they're singing about the fact that he's a cop, but this is like the, like, this is the big reveal in the middle. Where they find out that Paul Walker's character is a cop. He's a cop.

So I want to know He's a cop He's a cop No, he's a cop No, no He's a cop You're a dirty cop And they're like the lights

So they're all very threatening and messing And they've got like chains and pipes out Like it's a west side story Fight gonna happen You already know what's going on Exactly, you can see it ahead But I'm trying to think More so I'm trying to figure out

Like what was the big reveal D-Dive? Like it's like I'm imagining like Big Reveal like he either outs himself or somebody makes him and then it's just like spotlight right on him

and then like they're like all eyes on him and then it like it comes into like a little like slow hip hop beat or something like what happens when he's a cop happens? You know the entire movie

it's like Vince being like I hate this guy just because he's after the same woman as I am so I'm gonna get into like I'm gonna dig into him figure out what is about him I think in this movie he's the one that like

is keep constantly being like this guy's a cop and then finds evidence of it they approach him about it he's like oh God I have to lie. I have to, no, I'm not a cop. And they're like, you are a cop.

And I do kind of want it to be like, first, like, kind of rap. That's like them accusing him of like, you came into here, you did all of this. You're dating my sister. You're fucking up this. And they're like going crazy. And he's like, no, no. The camera's going around him in a 360. And they're like approaching and pointing, jabbing all little like spoken word shit.

And then spoken word shit. And then it gets into like, I want Dominic Torero to like hit that note, singing. Like, you know, a horrible example, but in Hunchback of Notre Dame when he's like Hellfire, the song he's saying about, I want that. I want him, like, Dominic Tarot being like, I trusted you and you betrayed us.

Like, we're going to kill you. And that song to be as aggressive as it is. I love that. Perfect. Okay. This episode is brought to by Whole Foods Market. Spring is here, so celebrate it with fresh, juicy, seasonal produce

So I'm picking one of my favorite. IPs that came out from the past like two years, the movie that saved cinema. I am naming this. Both of my picks are going to be original stories based in this franchise. This is Watch the Skies

a Top Gun musical. Oh man. Okay. So. It's already one song. I got you. Yeah, no. Well, we are going to have the danger zone,

but that's going to be like the finale like curtain call kind of kind of song. It's not going to be like how... It's going to be like a cute thing. It's not going to be like a cute thing. actually have to do anything to do with the story. That'll be like end credits like curtain call kind of thing.

Cheaky tagline being when you're a jet, you're a jet all the way. Set in the night. Yes. Take that Westside story. That's coming up. Come off a fight. All right. So the plot line is set in the 90s. It takes place soon

after the events of the first top gun with a new set of pilots introducing us to the shy, bookish, and newly inducted wingman Burbank he is introduced to the world of Top Gun as a fish out of water story

fresh out of the academy from the Navy and he's introduced to a new set of pilots he is partnered up with a with a brash cutthroat braggadocio new pilot called Rebound and this is a love story let's go that's what I'm talking about

it is basically an elder classman versus younger classmen fish out of water love story musical about being partnered with your wingman and about trust and learning about acceptance. So the songs that I would like to be included is a song about trusting your wig man called Back to Back because they're in the plane together. That's cute.

When you go back to back, da da da da da da da. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I see you. There's a song about Burbank realizing that he's in love with rebound and it's basically kind of like him singing in like the locker room all by himself. worried about how he's not really fully understood. And then we have a finale dog fight scene where Burbank is separated from

rebound with a different wingman because they got into a fight and so they're like, you're off this plane, you're into the next plane, and rebound is seeing Burbank's plane get shot down and what he thinks might be his death and then he starts to sing in like this finale and then he rages out to fight against the Russians

in like this amazing dogfight solo number. Not Russians, they are an undetermined third country. Yes, but in the 90s, it's Russia adjacent then. Russia adjacent, but not Russia. It's like made up, made up an adversary country. Yes. That has no name, but it could be the North Koreans. Could be.

But like the jets are all black and like nobody sees the faces of any other enemy combatants. Starring as Burbank Taryn Etterton Okay And oh my god Yeah, yeah the boy

From the fake James Bond movies From the fake James From the Kingsman I forgot the title I love him I love him No he's great And starring as Rebound

Richard Madden Okay I don't know if he could sing But this is like the type of look That I'm going for We could always dub him in and as the like backseeding mentor

current day Tom Cruise Yeah of course He will not be singing obviously Okay Well this is a not you're good for that But this is also a movie So he doesn't have to be a good singer He does not have to be a good singer

But I kind of want him dancing in the background Kind of just like nudging Burbank a little bit to like Come into his own Like we said in Top Gun Maverick he's always stayed back to be a pilot. He's never elevated higher than captain. So he's still, like, with all these other guys,

but, like, the rest of his class has moved on. And this is, like, kind of Maverick being, like, the first holdback and being, like, kind of the Van Wilder of that class. Well, time out. That breaks canon because in the movie, he had been back to top of that. Oh, stop it.

In a while. So you got to have to, you know what I'm saying? Okay, well, immediately after the events, because Goose had recently died, spoiler for... A movie that came out, what, 1984? Yes. But yeah, so that's my cast. I wanted the director of Rocket Man,

Dexter Fletcher, because that's kind of the vibe I want to go for here. It's brash. It works. It's bombastic. We've got some cool flight sequences, but it's mainly going to be taking place in the Top Gun School. Okay. So less in the air, actually, because I was about to ask,

how are you going to... It'll be a finale, like, training exercise gone wrong, where it's going to be the opening invasions because, like, the enemy is going to, like, it's going to be like attack the school first because these are the hottest hot shot pilots that we have. So we've got to take out the school first before we go to this. Okay. Before we invade.

So here's my, and you can correct me if I'm tripping. But I kind of feel like Terran Egerton will be punching above his weight with Richard Madden. Punching above his weight? Yeah. You know, like if I as far as like a love story is concerned? I'd be like. I don't think so. I feel like Richard Madden can do better than Terry Ingrerton.

You know what I'm saying? Tarynnegerton is a good, wait, say it again. Taryn Aston is a good looking man. He's a good looking man, but... He's so fine. How tall is he? He's short. Oh, he's short.

You know what I'm saying? I saw him in Robin Hood. Yeah, no, but it's also, it makes him a good wingman because he's in the back console. And also, if he's kind of like mimicking Tom Cruise's character, it kind of works, right? Yeah. But it's the reverse because, like, he's one of the best engineers, one of the best wingmen, one of the best sensory people. He's one of the best Rios. But he, yes, but he can't fly.

He doesn't really, like, that's not his thing. So, so rebound is the pilot. Rebound is the pilot. Okay. He's a hot shot. Like, he's more or less trying to emulate Ice Man. He thinks he's Maverick, but like he's just more of an arrogant, like, brash. I see what you're going for.

It's kind of like if we took Phoenix and Bob from Top Gun Maverick and we gave them the love story that they deserved. I see what you mean. Yes. I'm locked in now. Yes. I'm locked in. That's what I got. That's what I got.

Watch the Skies, a Top Gun musical. Watch the Skies. Man, that'd be, it'd be really funny. Because, like, one of the, I was really into Top Gun, I matter if you can't tell. But they had to, like, record their, their selves in the, in the plane because, like, you can't put a, you can't put a camera crew up there, obviously. You have to, like, press a button, make sure everything's right.

I just imagine, like, you do a whole singing bit in the, in the plane, the whole nine, and then it comes down, it's like, I'm eating any footage. Well, no, look, as you're thinking about it, like, it's, like, they're doing it real. Like, because that's what, that was Tom Cruise's whole thing where it's like, We needed to shoot this because I'm really in the jet. I'm really flying this thing. I'm making these bank turns. This is going to be a musical.

This is going to be wild and out there. So we're going to have like crazy camera moves where he'll be like ripping off his helmet dramatically and singing passionately into the skies. In the plane? Yes, in the plane. I'm not going for realism here. I'm going for passion. Clearly. I'm sorry.

Are we going for realism in, uh, in Knox? Yes, bitch. I'm sorry. I guess I didn't pitch it correctly. I'm about real shit. He's a cop. He's a cop. He's a cop. He's going to go trending on TikTok so quick.

That's so great. I mean, yeah. He's when you see somebody who's a policeman. He's a cop. He's a cop. You dirty bastard, you're a cop. That's improv line. Of course.

Did you know that he improv that line? I guess it's my turn. Yes, Joe means your turn. I do like your romantic. I like your romantic take of your mood. I really love that. And I, because I think of it as romantic regardless, but this will give me the actual satisfaction of being romantic.

And of course we're going to have that like shirtless sports scene, but it's going to be probably like, it's going to be something like a little like funny, like Bachi Ball or something. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't make it funny because the first movie, it's super homererotic. It's like, oh, these dudes, are they panging? Like, what's going on? All right.

You need to not only triple that. you need to quadruple the horniness of that scene. Right. If you're going to really sell it. Okay. Right. I want dudes sweating. But imagine the singing number that goes with the volleyball scene.

No, no, no, no, no. Okay, but they need to be like, bro, they got to be shirts off first of foremost. The song is called Bumpset Spike. Bumpset Spike. Say, come on now. Come on now. Just like, don't even, don't even. The look the curve just gave me.

But here's the thing, there's like plausible, there's like plausible deniability in the, uh, in the volleyball scene. Right. You know, you're like, I don't know. But even, honestly, let's take it throughout the whole movie.

Iceman and Maverick spent the whole time like looking to each other's eyes and like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's like, but you have to, but like, again, we're like,

are they to do other? Not really because you know what's going on. This movie. Like, you know, I needed to be so overt and over the top. It's just so like very clear that rebound at Burbank are like, yeah, I'm trying to,

you know what I'm saying? So when they do that volleyball, scene, I need them like, I need one of those, like, those tropes in, uh, in romantic comedies where they trip over each other and then they're like in the sand face and they're like, oh, and they like, look at each other and the eyes. And for a moment, you're like, what? But then you zoom out and there's like, dirty people watching them play volleyball. And they got to like stop. But like the scene continues. That's all I'm talking about. I needed, like that shower scene with Iceman and Maverick. Yeah. There's a bite. I need that.

I need the whole, I need the whole nine yards. Like, we really got to sell this, sell the romance, you know? Watch the skies. Watch the skies. Watch the skies. Aw. All right, well, it's my turn. I don't know if I'm going to watch the time.

My first, my first bit for the musical, here's the pitch. It's Power Rangers. Oh. The musical is called It's Morphan Time. Okay. Okay. And, I mean, the plot is the same as every single Power Rangers plot. You know what I'm saying?

There's three teens with. attitude. Three? Just three? Just three. Well, he's thing. I thought we had five. Sometimes we have five.

Sometimes we have three. You know? Okay. It starts. Dino Thunder had three. Ninja Storm. Started off with three. There's always,

you always add more Rangers. But for this one, we want to start off with three. You know, I want to confuse the folks at home. You're, I'm going to just go straight to my starring section because you already, you already know. I'm coming for it all, man.

Timothy, come on down. Zendaya. Come on down. Tom, come on down. I'm gonna kill you. A Dune reunion? No, stop it. He only does this.

He only casts the people from Dune for everything. Here's the thing, right? You gotta have people come into the seats. Those are the most three young popular actors. You want box office draw.

So you want Zendaya, Timmy. Zendaya can't sing? Come on. Y'all wasn't there to shake it up here? Come on now. Lock in.

Yeah, she doesn't sound like her 14 year old self anymore. Lock in? Okay. I'm sure Timith can pull it off. Look, you know, what did you say earlier? They're actors.

They're movie actors. There's don't need to sing. God damn it's all good. It's all good. And I like, I picked Spielberg, too, because of the West Side story thing, because they, they fight, but it's really dancing. You know what I mean? And so in that regard, I was like, yeah, that'd be actually kind of cool. Like, they're not really like, sometimes there are people, but for the most part, it's like aerobatics.

I mean, frankly, the first Black Ranger and Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, he was a dancer, originally. Like, like, he was. You go, you look it up. Walter Jones, you see, you know, you know, not. radio he's breakdancing on the basketball court? Right, yeah. And he also breakdance fight fought like a couple of In the Paris, yeah, bad guys. Exactly.

You know, it's a very famous scene. That's what I'm talking about. So that's the type of thing. Okay. And for, and here's the thing why I left musical numbers for last because I wanted to have like a little twist. Right. And so for this particular musical, it's a rock opera. Okay. It's rock music.

except it's like from songs. It's like, you know, like weird out. You guys know, like, parody songs, you know? Okay. It's like that we take famous rock songs and we make them Power Ranger, like, theme songs. So, like, the first one is like, we are the Power Rangers, you know, let them know we're here. The second one, the titular song of the movie, it's Morphantine.

And the last one, this is like the beginning of Act 2. So, right, Act 1 ends, you know, and the heroes, they got defeated, man. They lost. They're on the ropes. They're on the ropes. and this one is called Power Rangers Come and Save My Life No, no, no, wait

I don't know if this has a staying power If he's a cop, I'm not gonna lie What is this a fallout boy song? Why is it so long? So here's this is Kermm, can you play the music real quick? No, Kerm You boobut up in the headphones Turn you up in the headphones, I got you.

Oh my God. Isn't this an actual song? Yeah, yeah, you see you take the real song and then you make it until like I hate my cell phone, you see you. And then you just change it. All right, here we go, here we go.

Oh, shit. All right, it's almost not. Where are you? Waiting for the heroes in red, yellow and blue. I need some saving other folks needed to. Hey, Jack, it's a fact. Evil's back in town. The demons are ready trying to take the crown.

I am sure. I can't believe this is how I'll go down. I'm ready to be. be rescued, I just don't know when. Oh my God. Until I am, I'll just scream again and again. Okay. I've been waiting for the Rangers to save my life, where all the heroes give the

demons a fight. Oh, my God, I'm dying. It's really a shame I hope with all my mind that the Rower Rangers come and save my life. Stop it. And it's just like, you know First of all, first of all I can't believe I can't believe

I'm way to prepare for work today Like you existed in it You said to be I didn't know what was coming Assignment was understood So it's like that You're like oh I know this song But it's a different twist

But it's all rock music So all the rock classics You know 80s and the 90s No yeah Locking in You know what I'm saying Joe me Yeah

That's incredible I'm thinking real next level with it. I'm stunned. Why write original songs? You can just take songs from other people and put your own lyrics in it. Okay, well, that's... You know, why I think so hard.

I'm thinking Hollywood, baby. I mean, the rights are probably expensive, but it's, you know what I'm saying? It's Hollywood, brother, you know? I mean, I'm going to get into some of my own rights battles on my second pick, but I think that's incredible. It's truly fun. Okay, so you're thinking, like, pretty high budget.

High budget and stuff? Of course. You're going to have that actual fight. I, you know, do the actual, like, Transformer Morphing. We got a song in high school. We got a song in, during a fight. Mm-hmm. We got, like, an enemy, like, evil person song.

Of course, of course. Like, you got an evil song. Scar from Lion King kind of shit. Well, because, I mean, I don't know. You guys, you guys clearly are not locked in with the Power Rangers. When they first get their powers, they're like, yeah, we kind of don't want to do this, right? There's that song. And then there's a song where they're like, yo, this power.

That's why it's Morphing Time. The first time they morphed. Like, yo, it's Morphent time. And that's the thing. They do the thing. Transform scene. Yeah. Like this song in particular is just the one where it's, yo, we, like, they lost.

The demons look like they're going to take over the city. And it's one person's like, yo, I need to help. And that's how the heroes, that's how the Rangers come back. They're like, yo, you hear the people, they need us. We got to, we got to fight back. We got to, you know, lock in right now, you know. And that's the part of that song. So when Act 2 starts, you're like, yeah, you need the Rangers.

I'm still not over the fact that you actually sign. I can. Yeah, I'm still shook by that. And then you're saying, turn me up in the mic, turn me up in the headphones. Like this was a rap song at the beginning. And then it went straight into rock. Holy shit. I'm stunned.

The thing is all of these are really good actual musical to like video, like TV or movies. And I think that would get me back into Power Rangers. No, absolutely. Oh, man, come on. Again, the Star Power, you got to have that. I just kind of feel like the kids are, because I like the two, 2017 Powering this movie, right? I thought the first two-thirds are like, kind of like, okay,

little melodramatic little doing the movie thing. But if you like Piramanders, that that will last like 45 minutes is pure like, oh, this is what I signed up for, let's go. So if you bring that energy, that's just like manic, oh, they're like going the entire way. You bring that to stretch that to 90 minutes or maybe like two hours, throw some songs in there, some rock songs. Come on, guys.

It'll be a billion dollars. to free $8 billion, the box office. See it eight times. I'm so proud of you, Jomey. This episode is brought to you by Paramount Plus. Beth and Rip are back in a new series, Dutton Ranch. Kelly Riley and Cole has a return, and this time they're taking on Texas.

As Beth and Rip build a future together, peace will have to wait as they face corruption, danger, and a ruthless rival ranch, willing to protect its secrets at all costs. Legacy is a beautiful thing, but only if it survives. Dutton Ranch starring

Colhouser, Kelly Riley, Annette Benning, and Ed Harris, now streaming on Paramount Plus. Jessica Clemens, give us your next big. Run it back. Run it back.

So this one, because clearly Steve thought it was a fucking joke the first time, is not a joke. This one is very serious. Oh, shit. And it's so serious

that I didn't give it a title because there is no actual title for this other than what the property already is. So the property and the title is Jurassic Park. and this plot line is the first Jurassic Park movie.

Because I always imagine if it's going to TV or movies and it's a musical, it's already been done somewhere else, right? Because you need to know what it is before you go to the theaters. You're not going to go to the theater seeing a brand new thing. So anyways, so this has been adapted. And, okay, so Jurassic Park, the musical. Ooh, right. It's the plot line of the first Jurassic Park movie with hit musical numbers as,

Welcome to Jurassic Park. Of course. What happened? Clearly, that has to be like the opening number. I would call it spare no expense. Oh, that's, hey, no, no, no. Maybe Hammett comes in, low, you know, with this cane. Well, it's just like my idea for building the park.

That is true. That is a da-da-da-da-da. Oh, yeah. Well, yes, there has to be some exposition of like what, who are these people? What's going on? So, yes, that is, that's a good number. I'll take it. And then we have another hit song, Life Finds Away.

Of course. Yes, yes, yes, yes. By Malcolm. Yes. Yes, yes. And then we got, God, what have we done? And then it goes to another hit song That's not the magic word

And our final hit song Man, I think that's a woman dinosaur So Of course, yes Yes Man, I think that's a woman dinosaur And then it's starring Okay, so I made backups to this

Because I know people are busy I know people are busy And when they see a musical script For Jurassic Park they're probably like Maybe not me So my first pick for Ellie Is Rachel McAdams Oh, okay

If Rachel McAdams is like I don't really do musicals Then I will go to Amanda Seafree And if Amanda Seafreed's like, I don't want to do musicals then I will not do this. Wait, I love that you're like, okay, I know that some people are going to pass on this.

Some people are passing. If she passes, I'm not doing the goddamn musical because those are my two picks. Those are my two weeks. Wow, just like, put it on the shelf. Actually, I'll tell you, because the person that's playing Alan is the only person in my mind

and if he says no, then I'm not doing the goddamn musical. Wow, okay. And then for Ian, for our favorite, what's the actor's name that plays Ian? Jeff Goldblum. Yeah, Jeff Goldblum.

I wanted someone that's hot, sultry. Sure. Beautiful. Like Jeff Goldblum. Yes. Except for not Jeff Goldblum. I'm not casting Jeff Goldblum in 2024. We need one modern day person.

So I gender swap this role and I wanted to be Anne Hathaway. Ooh. I wanted to be Ann Hathaway with those glasses just walking around and like a black kind of suit. I respect this because Anne Hathaway, I feel like N. Hathaway thrives on being weird. Yes. But she's also aging like wine. Like she's so beautiful now. Like she's been, she's always beautiful.

But now she's playing these roles where she's like an adult adult woman. Like she's like, yeah, I'm. in my late, like mid-40s, and I'm playing like a woman that's amazing. But then if she's like, I'm not doing this, then I'm going to go back to a man. And if she passes, I don't know why she would. And okay, so hear me out. And you guys might actually change it because my second draw and my third draw, I think you can switch.

My first one was Daniel Craig. But after Daniel Craig, I put Andrew Garfield. Now tell me how you feel about that because Andrew Garfield does musicals. He knows stage. Yes, he does know how to say. Again, I thought we were doing stage at first. So that's why I put these people. You brought him out from Tick, tick, boom.

Yeah. Oh, my God. So, yeah. So I put Daniel Craig first after Anne Hathaway, then Andrew Garfield. If none of those three can do it, I'm not doing the musical. And then we have Alan. And I needed to be Chris Pine. And if it is not Chris Pine.

Yes. And if it is not Chris Pine from Into the Woods. I'm not doing the goddamn musical. You have so many like non-starter. Chris Pines. No, we're not doing it. This is written for you. This is for Chris Pines.

This is for Ann Hath. And nothing else. The Universal's like, hey, we couldn't get your spine. Pull out. What? Pull out. I'm done. I'm not doing it. We already have the script.

I said we're not doing it. And then, okay, of course. John Hammond. John Hammond. Gender role switch. I want it, Merrill Street. Okay. I want it Merrill Street.

I want it. I see the vision. And if Merrill Street says no, I'm willing to take Daniel Craig. Okay. Can we put Wayne Knight in here somewhere? Can we still have one? Maybe. Maybe.

Maybe after this role of Samuel Jackson returning as his old character. Hell yeah. Return as his old character. And he is the star of that's not the magic ward. He's the star of that song. The director is Daniel Radcliffe.

Now. Whoa. Let her cook. Let her cook. Okay, wait, wait, wait. Who has done, who, this man has done so much stage performances,

musicals, performed at the Tonys, has a Tony, I think, I think he has a Tony for how to succeed in business without knowing. And he's also a great actor on camera. Yes.

And I think this is his time to shine. I think he's done indie movies, but I'm like, this is time to time. He knows stage. He knows dance. He knows how to orchestrate a musical. He might as well just be given the chance to actually direct his own musical. Jess, we're, we're simpatico here because I have Daniel Radcliffe in my next pitch. I have Daniel Radcliffe in my... And so that is my Jurassic Park musical. That is amazing. Okay, do the Raptors dance? Yes. Okay. 100%. Okay, so, and again, I was imagining for stage. So yes, it would be people as Raptors if it was on stage. And it's,

we never really actually see the big dinosaur until the very end. And I want, it's always like a giant shadow that scares the shit out of them outstage. But in the movies, I guess it would still have to like, she could show up and we get those scary moments, but a lot of it is singing. A lot of it is singing. Can the Raptors wear like pink lady jackets called The Clever Girls? Why are you trying to make this a joke, Steve? It's not a joke. I take this serious.

Clearly you do not. I take this serious. That's crazy as hell of you to say. So I'm looking at the song list and I'm missing one. Oh, where is Dino, D.N. Oh, God. Oh, shit. Dino DNA gets, like, how Miss Minutes has, like, her own part.

Dino DNA gets its own song as well. These are only five songs. We have a twin helix hemoglobin, like, singing with eyeballs. It's exposition. Yeah, we need it. Also, because he's such a main character in the movie that it has to sing itself. Right. That's so great.

You could, like, actually get a Broadway star to come in and just like, hey, we need you to drop some bars off. We do like a driver's thing. Be in the studio, you get some little clips right here. Read this. They come out and just like, go crazy. Go nuts. I'd wanted to be, yeah, and I wanted to be a cartoony actor, but if the cartoony actor could not do it,

I will take Sarah Borrellas from the waitress. Oh, no, no, no, we need Sarah. Oh, my gosh. Sarah Barrella says Ellie, honestly. Oh, shit. Honestly, my biggest fear with Ellie because they can, it doesn't hit that much in the movie, but these actors, Chris Pryne and Amanda Cefree,

look like sisters and brother. And then same with Rachel McAdams. So maybe honestly putting Sarah Borellis as the star as Ellie, because she will drop those songs. She will murder that music. God damn. So Sarah Borellis, I change my mind. Man, the mind reels when we're thinking of Daniel Radcliffe at the helm of this.

I think this is, I think that's wildly ambitious. He knows fantasy. He can do it. No, he gets it. What I love about Daniel Radcliffe and it's the reason why I put him in this is because I feel like he's actually like a genuinely brave performer. and wants to do the shit that interests him the most. Like he has a diverse portfolio of shit that he's done

that I never would have expected. Like you'd think that he'd be a pretty boy leading man after giving it the Harry Potter rolls. But like no, he like I like musicals. I like weird roles. We did the Weirdo Yankevick movie. We did a bunch of great shit. I

really enjoy this. Thank you. Thank you. I can't wait. I would be there day one. Oh, thank you. Thank you. I'm sad. All right. I'm sad. My second pick. I'm so excited for this.

Another original story. This is girl in a big gas town. Oh. The Mad Max musical. Girl in a big gas town. In a big gas town. So this is the, this is like that typical musical trope of small town girl in a big city, bringing her suitcase to start a new life.

To the dirt desert. in the dirt desert of Gastown but it's a giant city so this stars Oh boy Adventure

Adventure Bright like girl in the big Apple Ready to like ready to make a new start This is starring Molly Tov And she

As she settles into Gastown Trying to make a new life for herself As a small town girl In a big city She sets out as an enforcer with a gang of caravan drivers, but she's got to deal with raiders,

cutthroats, and all types of freak that make the waste land a great, unique place. All types of freak. She gets a job as an enforcer as a delivery caravan, led by one guy named Joe.

What happens is an unlikely partnership leading to a sudden and inevitable betrayal as the caravan leader is, that's right, an immortal Joe Orwell origin story in his 20s. Crazy.

And he's delivering war boys to a hidden oasis in the desert. Are you giving him a platform? I'm not giving him a platform. I'm giving this. This is more of a like... Are we supposed to feel bad for it? No, I'm thinking like a streetcar named Desire kind of a thing where like she gets involved in something

that's way too... Oh, okay. Like way too dangerous for her. And she's got to either navigate it or get out. Okay, okay. so she's still the focus. Yes, she's still the focus. Molly is still the focus.

So, the idea for the music in this is, I've liked the idea of a post-apocalypse, and this is done in Mad Max, and it's done in another movie. Has anybody here seen Cloud Atlas? Oh, my God, ages ago. Okay. So there's a far-flung version of the future

where humanity is kind of like talking in, like, babble-y language, but it's also, like, you can kind of make sense of it, where it's like, people speak the true, true, or something like that. It sounds ridiculous, but it's like, it illustrates like the de-evolution of people's languages. This is the movie with Tom Hanks, right? Yes. It's a movie with Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and, like, it's like an Odyssey of the Human Spirit kind of a thing.

What I've really liked about that is both that and in Mad Max, people talk in a way that both make sense and also is this weird twisted perversion of speaking. So it's a long-winded way of saying, I want all of the songs to be... downspoken covers of 80s and 70s rock ballads. But it's, hold on. I think you're going to word, bar for bar. My lawyers will be meeting with your lawyers. Now, this isn't, but like this isn't original lyrics on top of beats that are like, it is literally she is singing overkill by men at work.

She is singing, don't stop believing by journey. Oh, Mama, I'm coming home by Ozzy Osbourne. Okay. What we have here is basically her, like, accentuating her emotions by the ancient tomes that were left in the world that was, and reading and interpreting those songs as canon for her emotions. Because they don't have music as we know it, but they just have these, like, weird ancient words and teachings and things about, like, a small town girl, living in a lonely world, yada, yada, yada. like all of those things and ideas, but like she makes them into different things. So if anything,

I would make them into upbeat versions, like twisted versions of like, okay, overkill by men at work is like a downplayed, like pop song, but we would make it into this aggressive, hard-hitting, upbeat song.

And like a twisted version of Mama, I'm coming home would be something that's a bit more downplayed and stuff like that. So what I've liked about this is we would have like car chashes, we would have, all of these crazy characters

starring. One of my favorite sequels to a musical movie that didn't need to be made. Mamma Mia 2, Lily James. Okay. I want Lily James. She can sing. She's got a weird

weird fucking IMDB. She's got everything under the... She's Cinderella, she's Pamela Anderson, but she does sing. She does sing. Playing a Young Morton Joe is Daniel Radcliffe. No, don't make him do this. Yes. Don't make him do this.

I love this. Don't make him dance. No, I love it. Don't make him dance. Because it's like he doesn't have the mask on. He doesn't have all the medals and shit. He's just, he looks a little bit like a war boy because he's sickly. But it's like,

I'm, what? No. I want some, I'm not coming from a boy like that. I'm not coming from, like, it's like,

I want him to be like some ambitious, like killmonger type where he's like, he's like he wants to build something, but he has a twisted version of it. Like he has a, he's going about it the wrong way. You know what I mean? Yeah.

I like that Daniel Radcliffe. he doesn't do it a lot often. You don't see it a lot, but he is trying to play characters sometimes that are like bad, like mean. And I'm like, I like this. And I want more of it, but he never does it. So this would be that moment.

Right. And so with the idea that Immorten Joe is kind of like messing over all of these post-apocalyptic cities, we get into a fight with the mayor of Gastown, played by a one, Christine Barransky. Oh, God bless her. Yeah.

God bless her. Wow. Are you ready for that? And we have playing the father of Mali Tov Eddie Isard. Yeah. Who is that?

Eddie Isard? So, yes to your question. Who is this person? They've been in like quite a few movies. I mean, Oceans 13? Ocean's 13 and 12. And 12.

Oh, Christian Bransky. That's a good, actually. Yeah. Christine Bram... You didn't know who I was talking about. I know her face. Right, right. He's like, yeah.

No, she's great. Yeah. I need to look into them. I have not seen that person. No, Eddie Azard, I think would be wonderful. Christine Baranski as the mayor of Gastown. Yeah, Christine Branski is perfect. I want this directed by Edgar Wright.

I think that's great. I think that's perfect. After I saw Last Night in Soho, along with Baby Driver, I think he's perfect to direct a musical. I think he, like, I've always wanted him to direct a musical ever since I saw a driver because I'm like, you know something about rhythmic filmmaking that is perfect for something like this. Obviously, he knows how to make an action scene. Obviously, he knows how to make comedy. Obviously, he knows something about a good dialogue scene. I think that, like, blending all

those things together, I think Edgar Wright is destined to make a musical, and I think he's perfect for Mad Max. I think that would be fun. I would like to see Edgar Wright do something like Mad Max. I think he would make it very funny. Yes, because again, we know that he can make it funny and silly a la hot fuzz and Sean of the Dead, but with a Last Night in Soho or even a baby driver, he's kind of dipped a bit more into the action-heavy, dramatic a bit. But the cameras, like the camera angles to the dramatic of like it turns really, like Last Night in Soho, I think the comedy that comes from, not comedy at all. But I think, I guess corky is what the word I'm looking for is because there's a lot of camera. angles that he chose that were like immediately shifts on Matt Smith and Matt Smith's pointing

his cigarette going, you know what you've done. And I'm like, this is the most silliest thing. Like this is way over the top. And that's exactly what Mad Max is. Miller's so good in Fury Road by making something that's like right in the center of camera like very exaggerated while still also being very visceral. I think Edgar Wright has got that in the bag. I think I was, I would be like, if I was a person that was buying musicals, I'd be like, I love this. But I'm not buying it. And the reason I'm not purchasing it is because you're not doing your own original soundtrack. Okay. That is the only reason.

Look, music rights cost a lot of money. No, 100%. They do. They do. My biggest thing in that, but... And maybe Warren Brothers doesn't have it like that. Maybe the first strings are a little tight nowadays. What if it's covers, like, if he glees it?

You know, they did that? Moulon Rouge. And I think Mulan Rouge did a good job because it was also 2004. Yeah, it was a different time. It was a different time. Now when it's been done, even gleeves. they got away with it because it was 2006. But now today, it's so hard to do it.

And I only say that because I saw Mulan Rouge on stage and the music was like, new Lady Gaga, new this. And I was like, it doesn't fit well. And I think it's because like old school, like mean girls, it was the time. And it worked very good then. And I am a person that, like, I don't know why. It is my musical thing where I'm like,

I wish they would have just did their own songs. That's just me. Because with Wonka, I'm like, This are Wonka songs. These are all the songs from the original Wonka movie. He just kind of slowed them down. But I was like, and that's why I'm like, it's only me. I'm sure every other person would be like, I love this.

Yes, I love this song. I'm like, do your own goddamn sound train. Right. I just imagine, in my head, I just imagine Lady James coming into Gastown and like singing like, Chicago from, like, Victoria. I don't know if you guys have seen that. Is that a joke only I get? That's fine. I only know that one song from Victoria is the.

Take a pill, take away I know what's not about But it's like just coming in and just like Singing gas town Like fucking like right Because she's had dreams of going to the big cities Is it like a bus that drops her off in the middle of the desert And it keeps going?

Yeah yeah She goes bye sir Wow the big desert Yeah A fucking tumbleweed or whatever Just go ahead And then you just see like pires of like flames And like metal chains

And big like dilapidated towns but she's like, I've never seen anything like this before. Wow, she spins instead of like a straight lamp. It's a cactus. Right. She lived in the equivalent of like a train shed for like, for like that you're like part of her 20s. And now she's like, I'm going to go to the big city. I hate it.

It's just really funny. Like, man, the big city can't wait to make my mark and it's gas town. Yeah. That's crazy. It's a lot of propaganda going on over there, clearly. Got to get that guzzaline. I guess it's my turn to finish it off. Close it.

I'm going with Lord of the Rings as my final. Beautiful? Hard. Hard to do. It's tough because, you know, there's a lot of movie. It's ambitious.

But with the right team, I think I've got assembled. I think we can make it happen. Okay. This is Lord of the Ring. He brought like, what's the Lord of the Rings? What's Lord of the Rings?

Hey, I don't know what that is. Lord of Who? So there's 11 rings right now. Time to get into it. Damn. But it's basically. the Lord of the Rings trilogy except

it's trap music I'm in I'm in no shut the hell up I'm in I'm in I'm done I'm done Lord of the Rings traps I'm done I'm holy shit Of course you got like you know songs like will the Weir Eragorn please stand up You know you shall not pass ball rock dis

I can believe. Journey Somalia is Arwin, and then Kerry Washington as Gladriel. Oh, Carrie. Carrie would eat that shit. Carrie would eat that shit. Directed by Antoine Fu. You know, um... Okay, all right.

Fukuwa. Fukuwa. From, uh, training day, you know. And he started off directing music video. So that's all he got is his, his big start. So he already knows the vibe. He knows the game. And again, you guys probably wondering, like, what kind of music would be in there?

You said trap music. So track music. So, uh, Kerman, he should play the beat. No. No. Yo. Yeah. Damn, son.

Where'd you find this? Take key. Take Keith Mayback music This is a certified Who's classic Take Eve mess these hobbits up We're on our way to Mount Doom

We won't be there soon So while we're walking in the afternoon We're gonna sing this tune We're on our way till Mount Doom We won't be there soon But until we look up and see the moon We're gonna sing this tune My name is Samwise Gamgee

People keep telling me who I can be Start my job to make them happy Try to open their eyes so they can't see Yo, they call me Frodo Baggins Us And you know it ain't a has been Dude he can stop this quest from happening I'm gonna throw the string in the fire

Stop capping We're on our way till about doom We won't be there soon So till we're walking in the afternoon We're gonna sing this tune We're on our way till Mount Doom We won't be there soon But until we look at that soon

But until we look up and see the moon We're gonna sing this tune Hey Saluva, you should a little little little soul, Lila! Shut it down. Shut a little regular, so little regular, you know what I mean?

So what we're gonna do now is we're gonna put all our money into that soundtrack, release that song as a single. You know what I'm saying? Just, you know, like a little lady walking up the hill, you know, you sing that song, we're gonna be this song. We gonna be there soon.

Regular Deggala, you know, I think it'd be fun, you know, look, here's the thing. A lot of folks like me, a lot of brothers, we're not locked in, I'm a load of the rings type stuff, you know what I mean? You know what I'm wrong? You say, hey, you got an album, you know what I'm saying? We do like the Black Panther joint.

You got feature amigos. You know what I mean? We get, you know what I'm saying? Future on there, Kendrick on there, Jay Cole. You know what I'm like? Hey, let's tap in. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, just a little something to, you know, get people,

keep in the way in there. But I think it's going to be great. It makes to be fantastic. I'm stunned. It's good. I don't. And the thing is it works. And I, no, yeah.

No, it's incredible. If they adapted it, I'd pay to see that immediately. No, yeah, yeah, that's... It might go directly to Prime video. Prime. It's going to Tubey. What are you talking about? Netflix or Tube?

Not even on Netflix or Tube. Don't let Cat Williams get a hold of it. Wow. Are we getting Cat in there? Oh, man. See, I thought about casting Cat. Wait, as one of the hobbits, but I was like... No, no, no.

Cat would be... Cat would be Bilbo. No, no, no, no. No, he's going to take too much information from behind the scenes and use it and fucking fuck up the show before it comes out. No, who was the king that was eating tomatoes in the third one? Oh, man. It was like sing me a song.

Man, who's... Oh, man, we should get Denzel to play the tree. The ends? Yeah, sure. Also, the voice works, too. So it, like, would kind of work. Even if you did, like, the CGI, you just have Denzel Washington's voice. It would work.

Yeah. Yeah, man, we... Shoot, man, we're trying to make a load of rings for black folks. Let's get it. I'm so invested. It's disgusting. Like, it's a crime. Put me in jail.

If Kat Williams was Gandalf. I don't know. And he was like, when he was yelling at Sauron to be like, I can't believe that you sided with the dark one. He's like, you have an affiliation to losers that is unbecoming. I'll tell you right now, he's going to improvise. And he's going to improvise a lot. And all those lines are just going to be to make the cast and crew laugh. So when he's yelling at him, imagine that tiny high voice, permed hair, going off on everybody.

But as a joke, like, I thought you were going to do this. It's going to just go off. So I don't think it would be good. I just, and this is, like, really nothing to do with the musical, but, like, just the characters. I always confuse Saruman and Saaran because their names are similar. Yeah. And I was like, I kind of felt like you could have differentiated a little bit more there. It's kind of like a Pokemon evolution, really.

Yeah, real lazy Tolkien. Yeah, like. You're a linguist. Like lock in brother, you know what I'm saying? No, it's fun. It's a little campy and a little silly. You know, I don't know how they're going to take to, you know, the hobbits being brothers and a rapping, but I think it'd be fun.

Yeah, you're losing a large fan base off that. But you're gaining 1% of that back, I guess. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, the return on investment is huge here. You know what I'm saying? The music sells alone, you know? The album, gonna go triple platinum. Oh.

And then you'll have people dressing up for the movie premiere. Right? I'm making black hobbitsis Come on now Hey, dang I would be Gandalf With a gold chain But it's the entire Gandalf

outfit just normally Just with a gold chain They'd be calling him Gandalf the black though Can't have that Yeah, that's true I'm gonna take I'm not gonna

Wait does he turn into Gandalf the white When he comes back What's the question What do you mean by that though It's not what I mean by that Is he called himself down When he came back Steve's trying to get in this movie somehow

And I don't like the way I like the way he's trying to do it. I'm not trying to get into the movie. I'm trying to change that. How do you work? Well, I mean, he's trying to be the toking white guy. Oh, my God. Get out of here.

We heard that. Wrap it up. The Lord. All right. Well, this has been Mint Edition. Jomey, I think we're not, everyone's a winner. I don't want to crown a winner, but I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Those two were too good. I mean, we'll throw up the poll, but I guess we know what we're signed. I know what I'm excited for. Yeah, no, exactly. All right, well, thank you so much. Everybody for listening. Thank you to our esteemed guest, Jessica Clemens. Hello, hello.

Coming back on the airways, we're going to have you back again every once in a while. Yeah, dude, let's just keep doing musical ones. I mean, let's keep this going. And then we will make actual songs because I did not. No, no, no, no. This is the only episode where we give away billion-dollar ideas for free. That's true.

That's true. That's true. That's true. All right. Now, before we go, don't forget, Tuesday, Ha's Varra, we'll bring you there 24 height draft Wednesday the Midnight Boys will be giving you their instant reactions

to the remaining episodes of Echo and on Friday House of our, on the House of Our Feed will be back again to give you episodes 5 and 6 of a deep dive into Percy Jackson. Thank you so much Junior Mints for listening to us. We are produced

by the Great Kerm, as always, with additional production by our Juno Ramgapal. Jess, thank you for being with us. Of course. Jomi. Jess, any parting words? Um, bye. Shout out to the folks. Again, thank you guys for listening as always.

We'll be back with you soon. We want to give a shout out to the goat. Number one, I hear in East Screece, the best producer in the business by far. Devin Bookerm. And, uh... Bekirm? Devin Booker. Listen, we're on our way to Mount Dome.

We're going to be there soon while we're walking in the afternoon. Hey! We're gonna sing this too. We're on our way to a mountain. We won't be there soon until we look up and see the moon. We're gonna sing this too. Batman Beyond the musical? Oh my God.

That would be so good. And all the music, of course, we gotta go super like new metal and metal type shit. Think Lincoln Park type beat. Think some limp biscuit type beats. Oh, edge lord shit. Yes, exactly. We gotta lean into the teenage angst. the max.

Batman Beyond. At first I was like Stephen U.N. Duosuo. Derek Liu from Gen V. Apparently he's like an artist in real life

so he can be Terry McGinnis and hear me out. Tom Waits his old man Batman. Oh! And so like the whole plot He sings like Yeah.

Exactly. Exactly. I'm Bruce Wayne. I'm Tom Wage. Oh, yeah. The whole plot is essentially flipping the Splicer's episode where it's like teen drug addicts that like get like animal powers

mix that with like the idea of a young Batman trying to come into his own. And I'm thinking like a song like Lincoln Park Numb type shit where he's singing about, you know, how he's trying to be his own Batman. I think we're making a billion dollars. I'm more mad that I didn't steal Tom fucking weights. I didn't even think about Tom. Tom Waits for that universe is perfect. But I was like, damn, how did I not think of Tom fucking weights?

He's so that voice. I think the thing I like about all our ideas is that every single one of them are better than the Joker 2. Yes. Well, we don't know that, unconfirmed. I think we do. I think I can say that with a shadow. Without a shadow of a doubt. Well, join us next time for when we review the musical Follyadu.

I will not be there.
