This Podcast Won't Run A Week

24-12-2021 • 1 hr 22 mins

There were never such devoted sisters! This episode join Kat and SLee as they snuggle into the classic (sort of ) musical Irving Berlin's White Christmas. They discuss a drinking game gone horribly wrong, the comedic genius of the song 'Sisters', and everyone's favorite musical theatre song type: the one where women are shit talking men. Later they diss the Army, chat about Rosemary Clooney's strengths and weaknesses, and take a moment to appreciate The Grinch Live! starring Matthew Morrison. They also take a moment to review Annie: Live!

CW: brief discussion of ED from around the 16:00 to about 16:45.
