Ep 80 – In the Heights (2021) with Laura Gordon

“The streets were made of music”.

Even if you aren’t a Broadway nerd, you probably have at least heard of the hit musical “Hamilton” by now. But long before Hamilton became the musical juggernaut that it is, a young Lin Manuel Miranda made his first masterpiece back in 2008 that also so happened to win Best Musical. Blending a myriad of different styles of music from hip hop to Latin influenced to soul (etc.) while also telling a moving story about community and family made adapting this stage musical to the big screen a no brainer. So join Tuong and Huge Broadway Nerd/Disney Dummies Laura Gordon as they sing and dance their way through talking about 2021’s In the Heights!

112 – Top 5 Conspiracy Theories

Question everything (even this podcast).

Humans have this undying and relentless need to uncover the truth to things. However, sometimes an answer to a question is not satisfying enough and we are left in this state of “well that’s too simple” or “I don’t buy it”. That’s why we gravitate towards conspiracy theories, as wild as some may be. They contain just enough nuggets of truth in there to make things plausible and their explanation can throw everything back into question on what we know. So join Tuong La and co-conspirators Patricia Eddu, Stefanie McBurns, and Stenley Philippe as they question everything (including themselves) while ranking Top 5 Conspiracy Theories!

Ep 78 – Army of the Dead (2021) with Michael Mongiardi

“It’s A Goddamn Zombie Tiger. That’s Crossing The Line.”

George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978) is one of the most beloved and seminal zombie movies in cinema. When Zack Snyder remade it in 2004 it had a high bar to clear which it somehow successfully did, modernizing what a zombie film could be. Well after 15 years, Zack Snyder is taking another crack at the undead with a spiritual successor to these beloved films. So join Tuong and The Sonar Network’s Michael Mongiardi as they try to survive the onslaught of zombies (and Dave Bautista’s muscles) by talking about 2021’s Army of the Dead!
