S4 Ep41: Carrie: The Musical - 1988

It's 1988. It's as close to Broadway as makes no odds and a load of luvvie theatre types are about to sit through the worst high school musical since High School Musical. In what puritanical religious mothers are already wringing their hands might be the 41st edition of the CB Wallop podcast, join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss Carrie: The Musical. The gigantic Broadway flop that tried to make a big song and dance about periods, bullying, dirty pillows and pig murder, but ended up being more waterlogged barbecue than blazing telekinetic inferno. Should they have based the whole thing on Fame! No... No probably not. Trigger Warning: Nothing to worry about mate, this is just musical theatre. There is a bit more swearing than usual for some reason - maybe just because Phil Lucas hates musicals so much, and some lady’s hygiene chat, but mainly it’s just making fun of a terrible musical. If you don’t like it, don’t worry, we can burn it together and pray for forgiveness.

show notes

It's 1988. It's as close to Broadway as makes no odds and a load of luvvie theatre types are about to sit through the worst high school musical since High School Musical.

In what puritanical religious mothers are already wringing their hands might be the 41st edition of the CB Wallop podcast, join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss Carrie: The Musical. The gigantic Broadway flop that tried to make a big song and dance about periods, bullying, dirty pillows and pig murder, but ended up being more waterlogged barbecue than blazing telekinetic inferno.

Should they have based the whole thing on Fame! No... No probably not.

Trigger Warning: Nothing to worry about mate, this is just musical theatre. There is a bit more swearing than usual for some reason - maybe just because Phil Lucas hates musicals so much, and some lady’s hygiene chat, but mainly it’s just making fun of a terrible musical. If you don’t like it, don’t worry, we can burn it together and pray for forgiveness.
