49: Funny Lady (1975)

Roddy Flynn and Robbie Rozelle are here to kick off our year of sequels and biopics with a musical that is BOTH! Patrick is confused, Robbie has thoughts, and Roddy is deeply offended he's been on this show to talk about THREE different Barbra Streisand movies and none of them are one of the good ones (like Nuts).

43: Dick Tracy (1990)

41: The Last of Sheila (1973)

Joanna McKee (Anastasia) and Chris Klimek (It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman) are here (or is it the other way ‘round) for the only screenplay Sondheim has (so far) penned. A murder mystery that plays so fair, the title is a clue.

40: Evening Primrose (1966)

Logan Culwell-Block (Little Shop of Horrors) and Sophie Schulman (Funny Girl) have come for the great, lost Sondheim mini-musical that maybe isn’t that great . . . or lost . . . but it is short!

Patrick Flynn 3/27/21 Patrick Flynn 3/27/21

39: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966)

James Finley (The Life) and Charlene V. Smith (Man of La Mancha - 1968) join Patrick for a .... comedy? We think. The song says it is. And there are jokes. But then why do we feel so icky?

Patrick Flynn 2/27/21 Patrick Flynn 2/27/21

38: West Side Story (1961)

Kenny Neal (Starlight Express) and Bryan Plofsky (Suessical!) join Patrick for what is certainly the most Academy Award-winning film in the Sondheim filmography: 10 Oscars, including “Best Picture” and “Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture” shared by 4 people (none of whom are named Bernstein or Sondheim).

34: The Apple (1980)

Mary Myers (Songs for a New World) and Chris Stinson (The Real Thing) are here for a dystopian musical about the dark future of 1994 made in 1980. Anything else I type here would make it make less sense.

31: Can’t Stop the Music (1980)

Robbie Rozelle (Mame, et al.) and Robert W. Schneider (La Cage Aux Folles) are here for a wild one. Where to begin? Valerie Perrine? Steve Guttenberg? THE VILLAGE PEOPLE? BABY JUNE??? Anyway, it was funnier in Angels in America.
