Hey all! Thanks for watching this most recent episode of bop or flop. I’ve got a couple notes here for y’all. Spongebob Squarepants the musical Live is available to stream on Amazon, so if you’re interested in seeing the majority of the original broadway cast in action, head over there. If another platform becomes available I’ll do an update.

And that’s literally all I have. Not super exciting notes today. AS of recording this bit, I just started listening to The Spitfire Grill, and oh boy that one’s going to be a doozy!
