Haunted Houses! Musicals! Creepy Dolls! This week Katie and Brit are joined by horror author and filmmaker Eric Miller to talk about one of his favorite scary movies, THE HAUNTING (1963).While you may know the name as the movie that inspired the Mike Flanagan miniseries, the story started as a novel by Shirley Jackson who with it re-defined the genre. It truly was ahead of it's time as a female-centered film that tackled mental health issues made by already accomplished director Robert Wise in between making Oscar-winning musicals WEST SIDE STORY and THE SOUND OF MUSIC.In addition to the film discussion, we talk all things horror as Eric shares with us his extensive knowledge of filmmaking and writing.Special thanks to our guest Eric Miller and Angela at Pitch Perfect Media.

On Sunday, London's theatregoers had the unique opportunity to see two different musicals, both offering insight into the backstory of the sea witch from the Little Mermaid.One of these was Unfortunate, a parody musical Mickey-Jo first enjoyed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe which is currently playing at the Other Palace Theatre, and the other was Sea Witch, a brand new musical in concert receiving its world premiere at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.Stay tuned to find out what Mickey-Jo thought of each show and whether either of them held water...check out my brand new substack newsletter:www.mickeyjotheatre.substack.com•00:00 | introduction02:55 | Unfortunate11:56 | performances / creative choices19:31 | Sea Witch26:42 | further problems 32:33 | conclusion About Mickey-Jo:As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.

This is a preview of our bonus episode. To hear the full episode, sign up today at https://www.patreon.com/Hellofawaytodie  This week Eric Peacock from SoundTracker joins Francis one again to take in some Musical Theater. From the Golden Age of Musicals, we watch Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954). Seven mountain man brothers need wives and when courtin' fails they resort to kidnappin'. Filmed in beautiful cinemascope and filled with acrobatic dance fights (and quite a few brawls), this movie manages to be fun and entertaining seventy years later, if just slightly problematic.

We don't pop our cork for every film we see but this episode is a Big Spender as we discuss the 1969 musical comedy ‘Sweet Charity'. Shirley MacLaine plays the eternally optimistic protagonist Shirley Hope Valentine who has her shares of romantic misfortunes in New York. If only our friends could see us now!

Sinners special continued!

Awards Season reaches its peak this weekend and with a record 16 nomination we thought we would discuss the 2025 ‘Sinners' that's crosses both the horror and musical genres. Set in 1932 Mississippi, Michael B Jordan stars as twins Smoke and Stack who have returned from Chicago to open a Juke Joint. Get the popcorn ready and tune in! (This episode comes in two parts due to technical difficulties)

"Bigfoot! A New Musical" is a new musical comedy about small town rumors, conspiracy theories, and of course giant, hairy creatures. Amber Ruffin, who wrote the book, music, and lyrics for the show, discusses the show alongside actors Crystal Lucas Perry (Francine) and Grey Henson (Bigfoot). "Bigfoot! A New Musical" runs through April 26. Photo by Mark J. Franklin

Shoshana is joined by writer and theater aficionado John Verderber, author of Harry Reams Goes to Hollywood and American Father, longtime Little Red Light Theater associate, and contributor to Time Out New York, New York Magazine, and Everything Sondheim. We deep dive into Christopher Guest's beloved mockumentary Waiting for Guffman and the musical within it Red, White, and Blaine. In honor of Catherine O'Hara we thought diving into Waiting for Guffman was timely. We explore what makes the film endure: its uncanny authenticity to the world of community theater, the emotional stakes bound up in the hope of Broadway recognition via the elusive Mort Guffman, and the genuine earnestness at the heart of its musical numbers. They also trace its influence on the wave of mockumentary-style comedies that followed. In the Why Is This So Good? segment, Verderber makes the case for "The Dream" from Fiddler on the Roof. Music featured: A Penny for Your Thoughts from Waiting for Guffman. Stool Boom from Waiting for Guffman The Dream from Fiddler on the Roof.

Hier ist der zweite Teil unseres Live-Spektakels aus dem wunderbaren Schmidtchen in Hamburg. Diesmal geht es direkt in die Vollen: Torsten erklärt, warum man ein neugeborenes Baby keinem Pavian anvertrauen sollte. Die unvergleichliche Ina Müller verrät uns ihre Lieblingsfilme, Musicals und Serien (der Name Kevin Costner taucht dabei verdächtig oft auf) und Gerry erinnert sich daran, wie Reiner Schöne und er in der Vergangenheit bereits einmal für dieselbe Produktion gearbeitet haben: Gerry hinter und Reiner vor der Kamera. Darüber hinaus erzählt Reiner Schöne, wie seine Karriere in der damaligen DDR begann und ihn sogar bis nach Hollywood führte, womit er natürlich die Vorfreude auf seine im März erscheinende Autobiografie ordentlich anheizt. Und weil der Podcast STRÄTER & STREBERG heißt, mischen Batman und der Weiße Hai auch irgendwie mit. Viel Spaß!
