In this delightful episode of MusicalTalk, Hannah takes us on a magical ride through her recent experience of the UK tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in Torquay... but how does it compare to the original production at The London Palladium? Nick, who saw the show in its West End heyday 22 years ago, joins the conversation with his nostalgic reflections. Together, they explore the differences and whether the modern take still has that "Truly Scrumptious" appeal.

Happy Spring! What better way to kick off a new season of Old Soul than by covering one of the most beloved children's movies of all time? That's right, we're hopping aboard our fine, four-fendered friend to a magical world of zany inventions, storytelling, and Vulgarian oddities. Caractacus Potts (although we do get wild with variations of his name pronunciation lol) is a down-on-his-luck single father of two little ones who become enamored with a retired (and quite broken down) champion race car. With the help of candy heiress Truly Scrumptious, this family finds fun and adventure in hopping between reality and dreams. We loved getting into the background of this wondrous tale (did you know it has ties to James Bond??) and what the landscape of movie musicals looked like in this era of Old Hollywood.

As we are preparing for our first attempt at a genre episode (that would be Episode 37, our brief guide to the Hollywood musical coming in February) we could not let go the passing of some major and minor figures of film history since our last recording session in early December. Therefore, our shorter-than-usual Episode 36 will function as an extended necrology, a (hopefully) cathartic exploration and celebration of the life and work of both towering figures like Sidney Poitier and Peter Bogdanovich and lesser figures as well. (After all, we did lose Truly Scrumptious this month) As the title of the episode suggests, in a straight steal from "Hamlet", we shall not look upon their like again.
Oh, you, pretty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, we love you! This week sees Danny introduced to the Sherman Brothers adaptation of Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! Featuring the simply sublime Dick Van Dyke as eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts, will The Roses of Success bloom in our latest episode? Will Danny share in Drew's opinion that this film is Truly Scrumptious? Or will it put him to sleep faster than a chorus of Hushabye Mountain? There's only one way to find out!

For this special April 1st episode we're discussing a classic British movie inspired by the works of Ian Fleming, featuring a handsome leading man, a famously wicked villain, a suggestively named leading lady, and some truly impressive gadgets. Produced by Cubby Broccoli for United Artists and filmed at Pinewood Studios, the movie is, of course, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, starring Dick Van Dyke as Caractacus Potts and Sally Ann Howes as Truly Scrumptious! It's a little bit James Bond, a little bit Mary Poppins, but how does it rate on our 007 scale and how queer, how glamorous, and how problematic is it?

The 1968 musical based on an Ian Fleming novel, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," tells the story of a criminally negligent single dad who falsely impersonates a carnival worker in order to scam money to buy a jalopy old race car, and then tells a story about how the car is supernaturally alive in some way that presumably is related to the previous owners of the car dying horribly in a fiery crash whilst driving it. The story also weaves in a weird subplot about a pirate who turns out to be a Baron who is obsessed with trying to murder his wife. And an even weirder subplot about an evil molesty child catcher who specializes in literally sniffing out his victims. Dick Van Dyke plays Caractacus Potts, an absent-minded professor and widower who fritters away his time and money tinkering with inventions that are utter nonsense. He doesn't seem to have the sense to realize that his two children need him to be a responsible adult rather than a buffoon who barely ekes out a pathetic living by doing a song and dance routine whenever he's in a pinch. Sally Ann Howes plays Truly Scrumptious, the sole heir to Lord Scrumptious's massive candy empire. With the way that she instantly falls in love with Caractacus Potts after he demonstrates himself to be quite the bumbling misogynist, her name should instead be Truly Desperate. Join us as we take out the 'ol bam-boo and bludgeon this film to death with it.

Laurie & Lynn talk to Anisha Arora of ERA One Source Realty about their expectations for 2018 and Cathy Reppert from Truly Scrumptious about her career and upcoming retirement.
Caractacus Pott was a failed widower and eccentric inventor whose ideas were ahead of his time. He was down on his luck and unable to afford a family car. His efforts to invent a candy he called "Toot Sweets" that can be played like a flute, end in disaster. His children, who are often truant from school, uncovered a crashed Grand Prix racer in the local junk yard and convinced their father to buy her and restore the car. In a truly bizarre accident he meet the daughter of a local factory owner and begins a journey unlike any other. Using an old boat hull he restores the car to her former fame and glory and takes the family for the ride of their life. They travel to Vulgaria and meet up with the Baron and Baroness Bomburst where the car is stolen, his children are kidnapped, and, well the rest as they say, is an amazing adventure.
