Scott Kurland loves musicals. Lillian "Lilz" Martin does NOT love musicals. Thus Scott has made it his goal to expose Lilz to movie musicals in an effort to find ones that connect with her. Sometimes it works. (Mostly not.) Share in their mutual frustration on Hell Is A Musical, available wherever podcasts can be found.Copyright Zero Science アート

  • 059 - O Brother, Where Art Thou? ("Hey Moe, I Peed On My Shoe")
    2025/09/19
    O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a satirical comedy-drama musical film released in 2000, written, produced, and directed by The Coen Brothers. The film starred George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, Holly Hunter, John Goodman, and CHARLES DURNING in a 1930s Mississippi setting. In which a trio of escaped convicts travel across the American South in search of a supposed buried treasure, as Clooney attempts to re-connect with his divorced wife and children. The story was heavily influenced by Preston Sturges' film Sullivan's Travels, while also borrowing loosely from Homer's epic Greek poem The Odyssey, and featured a backdrop of period folk music, produced and arranged by T-Bone Burnett, and featured performances by Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Ralph Stanley, John Hartford, and numerous others. The film was a major box office success in its time, earned major critical praise for its sharp writing and gorgeous autumnal aesthetics, while its soundtrack swept the 44th annual Grammy Awards.

    On a rare, guest-free episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott take in a viewing of O Brother, Where Art Thou? and are thoroughly delighted. (Not to give away the ending of the podcast.) Join them as they ruminate on ancient brands of hair cream, point out innumerable Big Lebowski references that are totally there, engage in time-honored bouts of fisticuffsmanship, and bask in the majesty of CHARLES DURNING.

  • 058 - Cats Don't Dance ("Don Knotts Is My Grandpaw???") (w/ Kendra Beltran)
    2025/08/22
    Cats Don't Dance is a 1997 animated musical film directed by Mark Dindal, which featured an ensemble cast including Scott Bakula, Jasmine Guy, sung vocals by Natalie Cole, Jon Rhys-Davies, Ashley Peldon, and various others, and featured a soundtrack of musical numbers composed by Randy Newman and contributions to choreography by Gene Kelly; his final film contribution before his death in 1996. The film features an alternate 1939 where humans and anthropomorphic animals co-exist and work in Hollywood; in which the animals are not allowed any leverage in show business. The story follows Indiana-native Danny T. Cat (Bakula) venturing to Hollywood to start an acting career, and eventually facing and overcoming the injustices inherent in the system in order to get better parts for him and his friends. The film was not a commercial success and received mixed-to-positive reviews upon release, but over the years has developed a cult following for its dark satirical undertones, and allegories to the plight of black actors and actresses during this same time period.

    On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott are overwhelmed with whimsy as they sit through a screening of Cats Don't Dance with return guest Kendra Beltran of the Crushgasm podcast! Join them for perplexing old Hollywood references that would probably go over the heads of young children, make an excruciating amount of furry jokes, and kneel in deference to the will of the immortal godking tyrant whose name is whispered by mere mortals as Don Knotts.

  • 057 - Ride The Cyclone ("Ziggy Pawdust") (w/ Jon Reilly)
    2025/05/30
    Ride The Cyclone is a 2008 musical written by Canadian playwrights Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell. It features a high-concept story of a quintet of High School choir students, plus one mystery teenager, who were killed while riding the Cyclone, a fictional malfunctioning roller coaster operating out of Uranium City in Saskatchewan. (Ride The Cyclone marks the second installment of Richmond's "Uranium Scream Teen Trilogy" of musical plays set in the exaggerated version of the town.) The musical follows a highly experimental format in which the six main characters reflect on their own demise in the afterlife, the collapse of their former boomtown home, and plead with an omnipotent fortune telling machine The Amazing Karnak to be allowed a second chance at living. The musical touches upon a wide assortment of musical styles, and features a loose and esoteric form of storytelling and plot. The musical was a critical success upon its release, developed a strong cult following, and would be performed in venues as varied as independent theaters to off-broadway.

    On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott welcome back Jon Reilly of the Life's But A Song podcast for a viewing of a special recorded version of the musical. Join them on a confusing and bewildering journey filled with French whores, anthropomorphic space cats, creepy ghost girls, and hope for redemption and rebirth.

    And fortunes for a quarter. (I looooooooooove quarters!)
