We begin Romance Month with one of the most unconventional romantic films of all time with one hell of a soundtrack: https://pluto.tv/on-demand/movies/harold-and-maude-1971-1-1?utm_medium=textsearch&utm_source=google. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiShrqGzq6EAxVGkWoFHSAkCn0QFnoECA8QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcastaddict.com%2Fpodcast%2Fadam-s-corner%2F4601363&usg=AOvVaw0llx5ZMVOhZg7SpmvAypa2&opi=89978449 joins the episode to talk all about Bud Cort, Ruth Gordon, and that soundtrack by Cat Stevens.
Written by Colin Higgins as his senior film thesis, it follows the titular Harold and Maude, one obsessed with death, one obsessed with living life, as they fall in love. To say its an unconventional relationship may be to understate the genuine charm and magic of the film and its leads.

We near the end of Musical Month Deux with one of the regularly scheduled programming films that is a musical with a capital "M": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R4XCtBbw84. Someone's Favorite Production's Dr. Will Dodson joins the episode for the first time to talk about Oliver Reed, white privilege, and epic musicals.
Based on the musical of the same name by Lionel Bart in turn based on Dickens' Oliver Twist, it follows the journey of Oliver Twist from a boy who asks for more to a boy who gets more and then some. It's a tale of white privilege, pulling the ladder up behind you, and always getting whaat you want.

We near the end of Musical Month Deux with a modern-day biopic that also happens to be parody along with being a damn fine musical with alot of heart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzpqTN4e8Ms&pp=ygUTd2FsayBoYXJkIGRld2V5IGNveA%3D%3D. Disc-Connected's Ryan Verrill programs the episode and stops by to talk all about John C. Reilly, the film's music, and what Dewey Cox may be up to in 2024.
Starring John C. Reilly as the titular Dewey Cox, the film sends up musical biopics of the mid-2000s with their formulaic full-life story retelling along with encountering popular musicians and music styles of the time. Add in a healthy dose of catchy musical numbers and you've got a cult classic musical comedy that deserves more appreciation from a wider film-watching audience.
