Podcasts about Beauty and the Beast

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-third episode, we explore the Think of the Children Fallacy, starting with Trump attacking trans people, and claiming people grab children to get across the border, and then how QAnon pivoted from wacky conspiracies to just lies.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage pretending their hardline stance on immigration is "for the children" and Farage and Peter Kyle MP squaring off about the Online Safety Bill.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Beauty and the Beast, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and Futurama.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.Then we talk about the Pentagon's press corps walking out.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft183 You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on BlueSky @FallaciousTrump, Discord at fallacioustrump.com/discord or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpAnd you can buy our T-shirts here: https://fallacioustrump.com/teeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

From marching snare in Wisconsin to playing The Producers on Broadway, his story is about hard work, timing, and versatility. In this conversation, Larry talks about his early days growing up in the Midwest, his years in drum corps, the Nashville country scene, and how he built a lasting career in New York City's theater world.Larry's been behind the drum kit for shows like The Producers, Jekyll and Hyde, Les Misérables, Wicked, and The Full Monty. He's also a respected educator and clinician whose experience bridges jazz, pop, and orchestral playing.This episode breaks down how he made the jump from the road to Broadway, what it takes to earn a chair, and why learning from others is one of the smartest moves a drummer can make.Key Moments and Topics Covered00:03 – Early Years in the MidwestLarry talks about growing up in Chicago, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. He shares how he started on trombone before switching to drums and getting his first kit — a red Slingerland jazz set from the 1960s.00:05 – Marching Band and Drum CorpsHe describes how marching band led him to drum corps, playing snare with the Blue Stars. Those years shaped his reading, discipline, and love of ensemble playing.00:09 – The High School Metal BandLarry formed a heavy-metal band called Fallen Angel, later Perfect Stranger, influenced by Motley Crüe, Poison, and Ozzy Osbourne. That mix of rock energy and groove became part of his foundation.00:10 – Discovering Studio LegendsHe recalls studying the session greats — Steve Gadd, Jeff Porcaro, Hal Blaine, and JR Robinson — and how copying their records taught him to listen, absorb, and reproduce other players' feel. That skill later helped him sub successfully on Broadway.00:13 – Choosing Music Over a “Backup Plan”Despite warnings from family about the risks of a music career, Larry stayed focused. A mentor told him, “If it's the thing you must do, then you have to do it.” That advice stuck.00:16 – University of Wisconsin–Eau ClaireHe studied jazz performance, percussion, and conducting, earning a Bachelor of Music degree. He credits conductor Robert Baca and professor Ron Keiser for turning Eau Claire into a respected jazz program.00:19 – Nashville YearsLarry moved to Nashville in the early 90s and toured with the country-comedy duo Pinkerton Bowden and later with country balladeer Doug Stone. He shares what life on the road was really like and why he eventually grew tired of touring.00:24 – The Call of New YorkAfter meeting jazz players on a cruise, he decided to explore Broadway. They told him his versatility would fit New York's theater scene. His first exposure to a pit was watching Ray Marchica play Damn Yankees — a life-changing moment.00:28 – Starting Over in NYCHe saved $10,000, moved to the city, and started sitting in on shows. Early on, he learned that “no one cares what you've done anywhere else — they only care what you've done in New York.” That lesson shaped how he built credibility.00:33 – Miss Saigon: The BreakthroughMichael Hinton gave Larry a shot at subbing the massive percussion book for Miss Saigon. The score had originally been written for three percussionists. Larry practiced daily for a month and nailed his first show — instantly building a reputation as someone who could handle the hardest gig in town.00:37 – From Subbing to a ChairLarry began subbing at Beauty and the Beast, Les Misérables, and other productions, eventually holding nine different sub books at once. His first full Broadway chair came with Jekyll and Hyde.00:42 – Landing The ProducersWhen Jekyll and Hyde closed, a referral led to an audition with legendary conductor Paul Gemignani for a new show. Although that production closed quickly, the connection opened doors. A few years later, Larry joined The Producers, which became a long-running hit.00:46 – Lessons on LongevityLarry emphasizes professionalism: showing up prepared, treating every sub date like an audition, and understanding that reliability and attitude matter as much as chops. Every gig, even the short-lived ones, builds your reputation.00:48 – Teaching and Passing It OnHe now teaches drummers how to approach theater work with discipline and respect for the craft — reading, listening, blending, and adapting.Key Takeaways* Learning by listening prepares you for the realities of Broadway.* Every show, even a short run, can lead to future work.* Versatility is a drummer's greatest asset — orchestral, rock, jazz, and pop all show up in modern theater books.* Reputation is everything. People hire musicians who make their lives easier.* Keep the joy. The best drummers never lose that excitement they had as kids hitting their first kit.Connect with Larry LelliWebsite: larrylelli.comInstagram: @larrylelliAbout Broadway Drumming 101Broadway Drumming 101 is the leading platform for drummers and musicians working in theater.

Jonathan and Chester are joined this week by Auburn Riverside High School seniors Narina Pogosian and Ashlyn Holst. These two super incredibly amazingly talented thespians have girl bossed their way through Riverside's theater program and are headlining the production of The Music Man this fall (more info and showtimes and all that available on their Facebook, yes Gen Z still uses Facebook sometimes: https://www.facebook.com/AuburnRiversideTheatreArts/). Hear about their musical journey from playing a fork in Beauty and the Beast to belting Shipoopi at the top of their lungs. And, their time in Auburn Riverside High School (RPOE).  Stick around till the end to see how they do in trivia and stick around to the VERY end to hear them slay the first 30 or so seconds of "What is this Feeling"? from Wicked.

I had Liam on to discuss the 1991 movie 'Beauty And The Beast'. Hell yeah.

Diana and Susan meet in person and unpack Disney's new live-action Snow White. They compare it to the animated classic, talk through the movie's biggest changes, and debate when remakes should honor nostalgia vs. reflect today's values. You'll hear thoughts on Snow's independence, the Prince “pauper” twist, the Dopey moment, the Evil Queen casting, and why certain iconic scenes were left out. It's an honest, funny conversation about what worked, what didn't, and what Disney should do next.00:00 Welcome back, recording in person, quick catch-up02:00 First reactions to the movie and why Sarah sat this one out05:00 Early beats and familiar vibes: Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Aladdin parallels08:30 Prince as pauper: empathy, morality, and the “Robin Hood/Flynn Rider” energy12:00 The seven dwarfs debate and how the film approached representation15:30 Dopey speaks: character growth vs. losing that classic charm19:00 Making Snow White more complex and independent without the “housecleaning” scene23:30 Nostalgia vs. updates: what to keep, what to change, and what to create new28:30 Homages that remain: the Huntsman, the mirror, and the “fairest of them all” throughline33:00 Music talk: new songs, “Waiting on a Wish,” and which live-action soundtracks land36:00 Recasting the Evil Queen and the case for Emma Stone40:00 Final thoughts: what this remake gets right and where Disney should go from hereThe movie gives Snow White clearer agency and a defined point of view, which modernizes her character without fully rewriting the core.Turning the Prince into a pauper adds empathy and aligns his morality with Snow's, even if it echoes other Disney archetypes.Letting Dopey speak is a bold swing that some will read as growth and others as losing an iconic silent charm.Removing the housecleaning sequence aims to avoid dated gender roles, but it also trims a beloved bit of texture.The film nods to the original with the mirror and the Huntsman while expanding backstory around Snow's parents and the Queen's motives.Biggest miss: the Evil Queen performance never fully sells “menacing,” which drags on key scenes.The larger question isn't “Should we remake?” but “When do we preserve nostalgia and when do we create something new?”“Disney is embracing bad bitches. Prince Charming is an addition, not a requirement.”“If it's not broke, don't fix it. Or better yet, make a new story that fits today.”“When Snow stands up, that's when the mirror finally sees why she's the fairest.”“Dopey talking breaks the mold for some and breaks the magic for others.”“I'd keep Snow White's casting and swap the Evil Queen. Give me Emma Stone in that headpiece.”If you enjoyed this episode, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with a friend using #DisneyMomsGoneWrong.

In the final chapter of our Disney Trilogy, we step into the glory days — the Renaissance era that gave us The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, and more. It was a decade of unforgettable music, groundbreaking animation, and cultural dominance that made Disney feel unstoppable. But what happens when a studio (or any empire) grows too big for its own good? From direct-to-video sequels to mega-franchise acquisitions, we explore how Disney's growth brought both triumph and trouble — and what that teaches us about pride, purpose, and faith. Join us as we celebrate Disney's brightest moments, reflect on the dangers of bigness without depth, and connect it all back to the biblical call to faithfulness over fame.

Jason Goodman botched a daddy daughter date to Beauty and the Beast The Musical and the rest of the show decided to make a parody song about it!

Davy Liu, former Disney animator (The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan), walked away from Hollywood at the height of his career. In this episode, Davy joins Jim Mason, HSLDA President, to discuss how leaving Disney fueled his passion to launch Kendo Films, an animation studio to create high-quality, biblically based films for kids. Learn how Davey is inspiring homeschool parents to nurture creativity in their children, why every child is a “diamond,” and get a sneak peek at his upcoming film, The Giant Leaf. “Davy Liu, as a kid, he was a troublemaker because he loved to scribble on textbooks. Now he grew up and found his creativity; his innovations, and he's able to connect his faith with his Maker. I just want to give parents hope, saying that your kids at home [might not be able to] sit still, and that doesn't follow the perfect rhythm of academic studies. There's hope.”—Davy Liu

In “Southern Cooking Comes to Portugal,” Gravy producer Adwoa Gyimah-Brempong takes listeners to Porto, the second largest city in Portugal, which anchors the northern region. Porto is famous for its wine and its hearty francesinha sandwiches. But this city of a quarter million people has a food scene whose depth might surprise you. Porto runs the gamut from picturesque century-old markets to hipster bakeries whose joelho pastries and glazed cornflake croissants frequently spawn lines out the door. And it's also home to not one, but two Black Alabamian women reinventing what it means to be a Southern chef. While Gravy is a show about the changing American South, this is a story about the malleability of Southern identity—and changing American Southerners. Angela Sellers is the owner of Piccolo Cameo, a Mediterranean fusion restaurant focusing on bright, seasonal pastas. The restaurant happened almost by accident, but it has grown to be one of the city's culinary gems. And Bridget Jones (yes, that's her real name) serves rustic cuisine with southern charm as SouthernGal in Portugal. Her business was also not something she planned when she moved to Portugal—it felt like the universe nudged it into place. Bridget and Angela are among the thousands of Americans currently living in Portugal, as is Adwoa, this episode's producer. Not long after Adwoa moved to Porto, a friend told her that the city felt like the opening scene of Beauty and the Beast: everybody waking up to say "bonjour" (or "bom dia," as the case may be). People's manners feel familiar to her in a way that puts her at ease.   For Bridget, that southern adjacency is also reflected in the food: Portuenses eat similarly to American Southerners, fatback and ham hock included. But Angela has found freedom in redefining what it means to be a Southern chef. In both cases, their identity is something they carried with them through customs—something that informs who they are, but doesn't define their identity. Each of these women has lived in many corners of the world, but there's something about the city of Porto that makes room at the table for everything they are. Learn more about your ad choices.

I may have a unique way of looking at the world - but I can't help it. Even while sitting in the audience of the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast, I found myself pulling out leadership lessons. In this episode, I share some fun (and maybe surprising) connections between Disney's tale as old as time and the way we lead. From Insights Discovery color energies reflected in characters like Cogsworth, Lumiere, Belle, and the Beast… to the reminder that leadership isn't about being the loudest voice in the room… to the power of curiosity, beliefs, and collective hope - I'll show you how this classic story can inspire your own leadership. So grab your proverbial enchanted rose and listen in. You might just see your leadership in a new light. Enjoy!

Leaked correspondence between Jes Staley—former CEO of Barclays and long-time JPMorgan executive—and Jeffrey Epstein laid bare more than just casual business exchanges; they revealed a troubling bond rooted in intimacy, trust, and privilege. In one exchange, Staley mused, “That was fun. Say hi to Snow White,” to which Epstein replied, “What character would you like next?” Staley coyly responded, “Beauty and the Beast,” turning their relationship into a grotesque pantomime. More damningly, Staley described Epstein as “family” and spoke of a “profound” connection, while photos of young women were also swapped—all under the guise of everyday correspondence. Far from distancing himself, Staley sustained contact well past Epstein's 2008 conviction, even joining him on his private island in 2009—behavior that defied any claim of a “purely professional” relationship.The fallout was swift—and deserved. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) concluded that Staley “recklessly misled” both Barclays and regulators by downplaying the closeness of his ties with Epstein. A £1.8 million fine (later reduced to £1.1 million) and a lifetime ban from senior financial roles followed. The Upper Tribunal upheld the sanctions, emphasizing that Staley knowingly took a calculated risk, hoping the truth would stay buried. But the emails, held up like digital incriminators, ensured his downfall. His denials, evasive demeanor in court, and attempt to frame the relationship as innocuous only magnified the breach of trust. In financial leadership, reputation is everything—and Staley burned his.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein-Staley Emails Reveal Friendship Forged at JPMorgan (yahoo.com)
