We've had several Musical Splainin' episodes that no one apparently wants to talk about.

I really didn’t like the Singin’ in the Rain episode. I get that taste is subjective, but they barely discussed the plot, completely ignored Donald O’Connor’s fantastic performance, and didn’t even talk about any behind the scenes stuff despite decades of fascinating interviews and documentaries.

I must admit I was quite disappointed about that one as well. I get that the movie can be a bit underwhelming if you go at it with the expectation of "I'm going to watch one of the greatest movie musicals ever made", but I wish they would've discussed it a bit further than "it is a movie that exists".

For the record, the whole "grillpill" stuff is in reference to that internet meme "I just wanna grill for god's sake".

Rather pointless to bring it up here, though.

I honestly think her Cats, the Phantom of the Opera, and musicals in general vids are on the better side with regards to musicals than Singing in the Rain.

Lindsay gave up whatever little respect she had left for humanity after the whole debacle. It's no wonder she would rather focus on her work than interact with us. Not that I blame her.
While I agree on many of her points, putting any internet personality in a pedestal is not a good idea.

[up]Especially when it sounds like a massive assumption on their part. “Lindsay gave up on humanity”, how bloody melodramatic.

I agree the Singin' in the Rain review was disappointing, I feel they get sidetracked by irrelevant conversations a bit too much at times.

After doing a Shrek "marathon" I definitely disagree on her views on Shrek 1 being "hateful" project of Katzenberg. But that's maybe her Disney bias showing.

Hateful is a bit too strong, but Shrek certainly doesn't pull any punches on the traditional Disney tropes.

It definitely doesn't, but at the same time the result is still a heartfelt movie.

Yeah he wasn't as subtle as the later villains. Still entertaining to watch though.

[up]It's mostly on the "Shrek has no substance beyond a petty Take That! to Disney".

To be fair, Disney dipped their pool when they made Hades into a Katzenberg caricature.
