Is Schmigadoon good?

[angriest_girl]

Not really. It’s a cute idea but not really sustainable, and most of the songs are kind of meh and unmemorable and go on way too long. The only good ones are the ones Alan Cumming sings. Also, Keegan-Michael Key is charming but he can’t act. He needs to be in buddy cop action movies where that doesn’t matter and he can just make wisecracks and pull faces.

If you like musicals, it's definitely worth a watch, but it's unlikely to become a favorite. The Broadway stars all really nail their parts - even when those characters are intentionally one dimensional. The bigger problem is that they don't use them enough. It seems like each person gets one song, and then we just move on to something else. 4 episodes in an Cheno doesn't have any solo songs (she has one in episode 5). Ann Harada has had 1 song. Alan Cumming has 1 song and 1 reprise. Same for Aaron Tveit (his "You Can't Tame Me" is my favorite song by far) and Ariana DeBose.

The leads (Cecily & Keegan) just fall flat. I really wish they had cast Broadway actors in those roles.

The show seems like a big budget Broadway musical that needs several more workshops and out of town tryouts before it's ready for an audience.

Every time I see anything about Schmigadoon, my heart just cries out for the return of Galavant ;__;

Chenoweth: "I have friends who are anti-vaxxers and we don't even talk about it. cause its ok. everyone can do their thing"

you should talk about it. it's not ok. everyone doing their own thing is the damn problem. why would you wanna be friends with selfish assholes?

[mhfromnh]

maybe they're "friends" and she's hoping they die

[evett]

🤔 only then will I allow it

[skyler_white_yo]

She’s talking like her friends don’t agree what should go on a pizza, not whether not they should do something that will save their lives and the lives around them.

somewhat of but I was reading the BuzzFeed article about backlash about Amanda Kloots book. Did anyone read it?

Smh at her for claiming she couldn't visit Nick at the hospital when she was secretly visiting him for hours and getting mad when the hospital told her she couldn't publicize it.

The whole thing reads so white and privileged.

Idk it's bad taste to write a book about the pandemic when we are still in the thick of it.

[xtinkerbellax]

Yea idk why you would publicize all that she did in the book when everyone else who had loved ones in ICU were lucky if they could say goodbye to them over the phone. Read the room. Like she had a bunch of rich and privileged people willing to help her and pull strings, and now she's continuing to profit off all of that. The commodification of tragedy has always made me uncomfortable though.

I don’t think writing is in bad taste

And her husband is dying of covid and she is flouting the guidelines and being a shit to the hospital. Just fuck her.

How much has Fox News actually been promoting getting vaccinated? Just the other day, Ingraham had a guy on her show claiming that the vaccine causes infertility in women, and I'm curious how mixed the messaging is.

[numbedtoe]

They let her do whatever and same for tucker who called to attack people in masks.

Hannity supposedly changed tune but I heard that was a stock decision and a potential lawsuit brewing
