INTERVIEW: On Autotune and Movie Musicals with Nick Delaney
<p>Amaya welcomes fellow podcaster (and CNU Captain) Nick Delaney to discuss movie musicals and the use of autotune in film adaptations of musicals. Nick dishes on the highs and lows of being a content creator, Amaya has an incredibly late revelation (‘Wicked Part One’ fans beware of potential spoilers), the two discern what makes or breaks the quality of a movie musical, and Amaya makes sure the world knows how bad Apple TV’s ‘Spirited’ (2022) is.</p><p>Be sure to check out Nick Delaney’s coffee/film review podcast, “Coffee Nick’s Movie Picks”: <a href="https://linktr.ee/coffeenicksmoviepicks">https://linktr.ee/coffeenicksmoviepicks</a></p><p>Feel free to donate to the podcast at <a href="http://patreon.com/halflingcinephile">Patreon.com/HalflingCinephile</a> and get you some Halfling Cinephile merch, access special content, and you can leave me feedback and give me suggestions for future episodes!</p>

INTERVIEW: On 'Wicked Part One' with Marcus Sledge
<p>An official ‘Wicked’ film adaptation had been a tease for over ten years among fans of the Broadway show, and <strong>Jon M. Chu</strong>'s 2024 showstopper did not disappoint one bit. This episode, I talk with my good friend Marcus Sledge about their experience with ‘Wicked Part One’, as well as their limited knowledge of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ (1939) and its assorted derivations. Where I have been a fan of ‘Wicked’ on Broadway since I was 13, Marcus had never seen or listened to the 2003 musical, nor the 1939 classic – and they had not even fully seen the 1978 film adaptation of ‘The Wiz’, a Black theatrical reimagining of the classic film. Marcus and I get into their first impressions of the story of our favorite green girl, differences between the stage production and the latest interpretation of ‘Wicked’, the excellence of the cast’s performances, and the unspeakable and well-rounded beauty of the musical as a whole.</p> <p>Feel free to donate to the podcast at <a href="http://patreon.com/halflingcinephile" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon.com/HalflingCinephile</a> and get you some Halfling Cinephile merch, access special content, and you can leave me feedback and give me other movie suggestions for future episodes!</p>

TV EP: Schmigadoon! [Patreon Preview]
<p>“IIIII’LL drink to that.”</p> <p>Whether you rock with musicals or you can't stand them, Apple TV's original musical comedy 'Schmigadoon!' (absolutely to be confused with 'Brigadoon') is quite the hidden gem. A fan of musical theater myself, I find the humor of the series particularly smart, as it takes a deliberate and intelligent stab at the absurdity of musicals in all their performative nature. Trying to unravel the amalgamation of half a century’s worth of musical stories is one of the most entertaining parts of watching 'Schmigadoon!', especially when it reaches its second installment, 'Schmicago'. This episode, I'll explain what exactly 'Schmigadoon!' (and 'Schmicago') means, and I'll happily help you understand some of the humor in the series.</p> <p>FULL EPISODE AVAILABLE ONLY ON <a href="patreon.com/HalflingCinephile" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">PATREON.COM/HALFLINGCINEPHILE</a></p>
