Ria CiuffoHOST
It's like, duh, duh I still wanna know why they were riding the beast.
Ria CiuffoHOST
I wanna know what that has to do with the movie.
Ria CiuffoHOST
I don't know if that's, like, in the movie, they go ride the beast, they get splashed with water, and they're disgusted, and they get, like, a disease.
Ria CiuffoHOST
Maybe that's part of the movie.
Ria CiuffoHOST
But besides that, this is just some great marketing, so shout out to Mary Beth.

The musical? I saw this out of Sundance, and I might have been real cranky because I didn't care for this.
NickHOST
But some people were, I guess, very entertained.
NickHOST
But it's about a frustrated middle school teacher, and his ex-girlfriend starts dating his nemesis at school.
Mark ThompsonHOST
What else do you have a great culture
Michael SnyderGUEST
monster? The Musical.
Michael SnyderGUEST
The Musical is a low-budget and very, very clever comedy and a little bit, you know, kind of uncomfortable because, in fact, it's about a teacher.
Michael SnyderGUEST
in a uh this is so cool so you got this guy doug and he's the sad sack wannabe playwright and he's stuck teaching drama to middle school kids in a southern california suburb and he is i love it already and he is pissed off that he fumbled the romantic ball with abigail this attractive art teacher at the school okay So his neuroses notwithstanding, he's doubly pissed that the art teacher is now dating the school's good-looking but smarmy principal.
Mark ThompsonHOST
Oh, this is great.
Michael SnyderGUEST
I really look forward to her next comedy because this was very well done.
Michael SnyderGUEST
And the kids, like in School of Rock, seem incredibly precocious and spot on in their performances.
Michael SnyderGUEST
So I like the musical a lot.
