Royal talking about his play "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead". We also check out news and feedback from in and around the Peanuts universe and take a look at another random strip of the month. Happy holidays everybody.

"People thought I was a dirty skank? Fine. I'd be the dirtiest skank they've ever seen" We watched the 2010 teen film Easy A with our friend Evelyn. We truly used to be a proper country. When we used to get teen comedies like this in movie theaters, not just dropped on streaming platforms. Directed by Will Gluck and written by Bert V. Royal, Easy A helped catapult Emma Stone into massive stardom. Fourteen years  and two best actress Oscars later Miss Stone might be the most beloved, and talented of her generation. And they say the modern movie star is dead! When Olive Penderghast lies to her best friend about losing her virginity to a college boy, the rumour mill catches on like wildfire, branding Olive as the school harlot. We discuss dated elements of the film that feel painfully 2010, Emma Stone's star is born performance, and the last screen credit for Amanda Bynes. And don't worry, we discuss Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci's unhinged performances as Olive's "cool" parents. Truly only Tom Cruise can judge us for our incedencies!  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Twitter: @MTMUGPod   Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

Teen Movies Adapted from Classic Literature Month concludes with 2010's Easy A! Ben and Noah vlog about the Emma Stone star-making, (kind of) Scarlet Letter adaptation. Directed by Will Gluck, written by Bert V. Royal, and starring Emma Stone, Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, Thomas Haden Church, Dan Byrd, Amanda Bynes, Penn Badgley, Lisa Kudrow, Aly Michalka, and Malcolm McDowell.

Bust out your normcore, Nat & Alli are taking it back to 2010 with modern high school classic Easy A. Directed by Will Gluck and written by Bert V Royal, Easy A pays loving tribute to John Hughes and his contemporaries, rips shamelessly from John Hughes and his contemporaries, and talks a lot about John Hughes and his contemporaries. But is this a frankenstein of pop culture references or a member of a proud legacy? A progressive critique of patriarchal sex-shaming or simply a palatable parable on gossip?

Hey, everybody. I took a little break from producing the latest episode to enjoy a little theatre. I attended opening night of a production of Bert V. Royal's play "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead", a reimagining of the Peanuts kids as teenagers dealing with some heavy issues. Homophobia, suicide, sex, drugs, death and life. Good grief there's a lot of stuff.  Anyway, here's a bonus episode with my thoughts. (If you want to hear me talk more about the play and Bert Royal, as well as my chat with the director of a different production of the play, check out episode 55. 

In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing EASY A (2010). The film, directed by Will Gluck with a screenplay credit to Bert V. Royal, tells the story of Olive (Emma Stone), an ordinary high school teen who just blended in. After being asked to participate in a small lie that turns into a rumor that just keeps going, our heroine must make some tough choices as her story and choices have come to ultimately impact more than just Olive. Decent writing and performances make this an enjoyable watch although there are references to teen sexuality, strong language and drugs. The film has a run time of 1 h 32 m, is rated PG-13 and is currently streaming on Hulu. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.

“Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life.”Olive Penderghast, Easy AFIRST TIME VIEWERS: ALISA, CHERYL, JOERemember that time in high school English class that you were supposed to read Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter? Did you read it? Or did you watch one of the movie versions? We decided to watch director Will Gluck and writer Bert V. Royal's movie version that talks about all the other movie versions, while turning the concept into a John Hughes style high school comedy.Does this movie really have anything to do with The Scarlet Letter? Why do we decide we'd like to see Emma Stone in a 30's style screwball comedy? Can a movie character tell you exactly what's going to happen in their movie and still have it be a surprise to watch? What's the deal with Ojai? And why have some reviewers criticized this movie as anti-Christian? Join us as we spend our gift cards to watch and discuss this modern take on a very old story.Click here to listen to Episode 36: Easy ABe sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app, so you never miss an episode!

We may still be in the time of Covid, but episode 55 of the podcast is going to the theatre...virtually. We're exploring Bert V. Royal's 2004 play "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead". It's a self-described "Peanuts parody" imagining the Peanuts gang as teens dealing with LGBTQ issues, substance abuse, violence and issues of identity and place in the world.  To give us some perspective on why we need this play and why we need it right now, we chat with Muscatine (Iowa) Community College theatre director Alyssa Oltmanns, whose controversial production of "Dog Sees God" premieres virtually on November 20 and 21, 2020. Proceeds of the play go to support Clock Inc. of the Quad Cities.

In de vierde aflevering over emotie behandelen we schaamte, misschien omdat Wessel er een hekel aan heeft, of omdat Merel graag over Mean Girls wil praten. Is schaamte een nuttige emotie voor individuen en de samenleving of zouden we beter schaamteloos door het leven kunnen?
