Next Episode
"I'm blinded by my own ambition" - Assassins
"Everybody's got the right to some sunshine!" This week join the girls as they dive deep into the dark and twisted world of Stephen Sondheim's Assassins. They mourn the 2020 revival that almost was, Kat speaks on historical events with VERY little research (I’m sure her high school history teachers are so proud), and breakdown what makes The Ballad of Guiteau SO good. They also dig into the introspective nature of Sondheim, gush about how good Alex Brightman is, and try to figure out what the "American Dream" even is. This episode also comes with a built in drinking game: Drink every time you hear the girls say "unhinged".
