[0:00] Bryan Plosky: Hi, Brian here.

[0:01] Kevin Jaeger: Kevin here.

[0:04] Kimberly Cooper: Kimberly here.

[0:06] Bryan Plosky: We know that you're stuck inside, like we are stuck inside. So what we've been doing is we've been doing some video chats with the three of us. And sometimes we have a special friend join us.

[0:20] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah.

[0:21] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah.

[0:21] Bryan Plosky: So we are going to be putting out some additional content for you guys to help you get through this quarantine time. Um, so we are doing the same kind of Broadwaysted fun, focusing on a couple different things. Really, we're just kind of going through some old catalogs of things that we can watch since we desperately miss Broadway. So we're trying to find ways to bring more Broadway to you guys and to share with all of us. And we're really trying to watch things that you can access in your own homes through things like Disney Plus, Netflix, YouTube, uh, Hulu.

[0:53] Kevin Jaeger: Let's name some other functions.

[0:56] Bryan Plosky: Um, YouTube TV, YouTube. Um, we're gonna watch Twitch stuff. That's fun.

[1:03] Kimberly Cooper: No, no, no, no, no.

[1:06] Bryan Plosky: Um, but yeah, what we're gonna do is we're gonna actually put the videos, the full extended videos onto our Patreon account. So you can find that at patreon.com backslash Broadwaysted. Those are gonna be, I love that. Um, those are gonna be in our lowest tier if you wanted to see the full. But what we're also gonna do is we're gonna edit down that long, long episode into something a little bit more like a Broadwaysted episode for you here free on the podcast feed.

[1:36] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah.

[1:37] Bryan Plosky: So you'll be able to get that by going to anywhere you listen to podcasts. Uh, you're already listening to us now, so you've already found it. But um gotcha. You can continue to find it on iTunes on Spotify, uh, or by going to Broadway Podcast Network, uh, bpn.fm backslash Broadwaysted. You can also find that content there. And typically, I think the plan right now, at least while you're while we're recording this, is to do like groupings of things. So things that are related, so we can watch multiple things and talk about them as like a universe, but we'll figure it out.

[2:06] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah, like family.

[2:08] Bryan Plosky: Yeah. Well, on that note, thank you so much for listening to us. We always appreciate it. You can find us on Patreon, you can find us right here, but now for your regularly scheduled Broadwaysted.

[2:18] Kevin Jaeger: Woohoo, that's us.

[2:19] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah.

[2:26] Bryan Plosky: Did you bring wine?

[2:27] Kevin Jaeger: I got the glasses.

[2:28] Kimberly Cooper: You guys, I made a quiz.

[2:29] Bryan Plosky: I didn't bring anything, but I'm here to have fun.

[2:33] Kimberly Cooper: Oh.

[2:42] Bryan Plosky: Hello, and welcome to the Visual Broadwaysted Podcast where Drunk on Theater. I'm your host, Brian Plosky, and we're going into the unknown for the first time in forever. Show yourself. Some things never change, but if you're in summer and let it go, you'll get lost in the woods. Reindeers are better than people, so show yourself because when I get older, all is found. Joining us today are the usual snowman builders, including Kevin, the next right thing Jaeger.

[3:17] Kimberly Cooper: Hi.

[3:18] Bryan Plosky: And with us for the first time ever, is that so cute. He hasn't really worked at all, so I'm not sure why he's here. He should be out of here. He does nothing.

[3:33] Kevin Jaeger: How dare you?

[3:34] Bryan Plosky: No. Let's give a big Broadwaysted welcome to first time friend of the show and complete stranger.

[3:35] Kevin Jaeger: First time friend of the show and complete stranger.

[3:44] Aaron J Albano: Oh, I will not say it.

[3:59] Bryan Plosky: So great to be here for the very first time ever.

[4:01] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, first time ever.

[4:03] Kevin Jaeger: Yes.

[4:03] Aaron J Albano: I've heard it.

[4:04] Bryan Plosky: Really for the first time in forever, though. Uh, it has been a while, yeah.

[4:09] Kevin Jaeger: That's true, because he's been Hamiltoning.

[4:11] Bryan Plosky: Yeah. Before we talk about Hamilton and all the other things we're gonna talk about. What are you drinking?

[4:18] Kevin Jaeger: What are you drinking?

[4:19] Kimberly Cooper: What are you drinking?

[4:20] Bryan Plosky: What are you drinking?

[4:22] Aaron J Albano: Well, Brian got to steal some of our stash before he left the office. Yes, I am drinking Buttonwood Grove Chardonnay. Um, it is it's really good. I don't know if I had a little bit previously when we recorded. Um, but this is great. It's really, really good. Um, it has like a hint of it's very light, has it's crisp, has a hint of oakiness to it. Um, it's a little bit buttery. Um, this they're up in Romulus, New York on the Finger Lake, so that's just north of Ithaca, where I went to school.

[4:53] Kevin Jaeger: Um you did.

[4:55] Aaron J Albano: I hate you forever. Um but it's really good. They do tours and stuff like that. You can order from them online. Um, this I think this is one of Kevin. You have the other one. This is their like this is what they specialize in white wise.

[5:09] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, I'm drinking the cab franc. I left the bottle in the kitchen, so you can see it. Um, it's red and delicious, and a perfect wine for quarantined life.

[5:20] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, and this I know these are uh these are probably really good with some we're not eating, but these would be pretty good with food, like a fish or yours with some kind of a meat or something like that.

[5:29] Kevin Jaeger: I'm totally eating meat right after this.

[5:31] Aaron J Albano: Pretzels.

[5:35] Kevin Jaeger: No.

[5:36] Aaron J Albano: Uh, I'm drinking what I wish would be a buttonwood.

[5:40] Kevin Jaeger: Buttonwood grow, yeah.

[5:41] Aaron J Albano: I wish it was a buttonwood, but I wish I'm drinking some sort of Canadian wine.

[5:48] Kevin Jaeger: Oh no.

[5:49] Aaron J Albano: I'm drinking a cab sauv. It's called Three Thieves. I have cider that's pretending to be champagne.

[5:56] Kimberly Cooper: Oh, Barkley?

[5:58] Aaron J Albano: Well, it's the East Cider's Brute Super Dry. So it kind of looks champagne-y.

[6:04] Kimberly Cooper: Oh, that's nice.

[6:04] Aaron J Albano: It's delicious because I had a full backpack when we were rationing out all the alcohol, and I was like, well, I'll come back and get the gin later.

[6:11] Kevin Jaeger: Right.

[6:11] Aaron J Albano: Well, the gin is still in my office. I'm so mad.

[6:13] Kimberly Cooper: Bandit.

[6:16] Aaron J Albano: Bandit is drinking water, but our listeners know Bandit.

[6:21] Kevin Jaeger: They don't know who you are, but they know the dog.

[6:23] Aaron J Albano: No, they know Bandit. Everybody knows Bandit. Now everyone's gonna watch the want to watch the videos, they can see the dog.

[6:29] Kevin Jaeger: Perfect.

[6:30] Aaron J Albano: It's true. Yes, I'm here.

[6:33] Bryan Plosky: Yeah, Bandit was not happy about any of that.

[6:35] Kevin Jaeger: So no, we'll need to see Ted later, Brian.

[6:37] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, I'll bring him in. So for those of you who are only listening to this, this is on our Patreon feed. Um, the video is, so you can check that out if you wanted to see us in our full disgusting the unshowered glory.

[6:49] Kimberly Cooper: And uh I showered right before this.

[6:52] Bryan Plosky: This was my shower for the day.

[6:54] Kevin Jaeger: Good for you.

[6:55] Aaron J Albano: Which is also gross because I did my built for this stage work home workout today, and then just didn't shower.

[7:01] Bryan Plosky: Yeah, I was like, I'm in my apartment. Going home is a fun life. I will go multiple workouts and not shower.

[7:08] Kevin Jaeger: That's what I'm saying. Are you doing Hamilton from home?

[7:11] Aaron J Albano: I am yeah, how do you guys work from home? So let us know, and then we can collect salary and stuff like before we get to Hamilton. Um, you can go to Buttonwood Grove on Instagram and follow them there. You can follow Aaron at Aaron J Albano. Um, but Aaron, what do you want to do? If you want, yeah, you don't have to. Highly suggest.

[7:34] Bryan Plosky: For the dog content alone.

[7:35] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, fair, fair. The Bandit comes.

[7:38] Bryan Plosky: Go for Aaron's stay for the dog.

[7:39] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, and go for the dog and stay for the dog. Tell us about so you're in Toronto right now.

[7:47] Aaron J Albano: I'm in Toronto, Canada. Tell us about shows up until Friday of this week.

[7:53] Bryan Plosky: Oh so tell us about the tour up until this point, and then tell us a little bit about your quarantine.

[7:59] Aaron J Albano: Yeah. Um, it's been it's been great. I mean, we've been in um up until we did we stopped doing shows. We had been in Toronto for about four and a half weeks, I want to say. Um, Toronto's lovely. Toronto's great.

[8:11] Kevin Jaeger: I remember one of those.

[8:14] Aaron J Albano: Great. It's very, it's very when I got here, it was very, it felt like I was home. It felt like I was back in New York, except not in New York.

[8:27] Kevin Jaeger: Except clean.

[8:28] Aaron J Albano: It's the clean and nice and led by led and and in a country with better leadership. Like it was wonderful, and every place that I've been to feels like a different area of New York. Like I live, I feel like I'm on Queen Street, and I think you would be on Queen Street. Um, every place feels like this comparable place. And it's been real and I'm in an Airbnb Bandit likes it here. I like it here. It's great. It's been great. And I'm about to spend a lot more time here.

[9:07] Bryan Plosky: Just show talk about the tour like before you stopped it and kind of talk about you know traveling to all these cities and and and and giving them Hamilton and then on the top of that like talk about the fact that like like what was it like to get that news you know in terms of uh uh not you know uh on hold for a little bit.

[9:07] Aaron J Albano: Oh sure sure um well it it was fascinating because a it's been great the tour's been great I've been out here for consecutively about a little over a year now I think maybe like 14 months um oh that long yeah basically 13 and a half yeah honestly I didn't I didn't have any expectation because I didn't meet you until this point oh yeah that's real I don't even think yeah but I've been um this joke is gonna fall back this joke is never going to end no this joke is going into the unknown into the that's a spoiler of what we're gonna talk about the joy of this is we can just hang up if we're mad I've done a man many many many many many cities um but it's been cool I started covering the king about halfway through last year.

[10:24] Bryan Plosky: That's so cool.

[10:24] Aaron J Albano: Yeah it was it's been a good time I go on for him every once in a while can you talk really fast about what it was like that because we all saw it in social media if if you follow him, I mean I don't know him, so I didn't follow him until this decade. Talk about that awesome moment that you had on your social media when there were four Asian men being represented in the Hamilton.

[10:47] Aaron J Albano: Oh, sure. Well, yeah, well, what was very cool, what's very cool about that is because there's only at this, I think at this point in sort of Hamilton history, um the um the king has King George, so everyone knows. Sorry, King George III. Um has been covered by up to this point, has been covered by four um people of Asian descent. So I think right now in I think the first one of us that covered the king was I think I want to say it was actually either Jin Ha, they were both in Chicago. Jin Ha, who ended up started who played Burr in that company eventually, but started out as I believe Man Five. He covered the king, um, in addition to other roles, as well as Joseph Morellis, who was our Hamilton, also covered the king.

And I think currently I'm covering it on the Philip Tour, and Mark Delacruz is covering it in New York. Um, he's the Man Five there and also covers a bunch of different roles. Um and it's just fun because a it's not I think across the co across the world, the king is historically played by a white guy. I think storytelling-wise, that's a good thing.

[12:14] Kevin Jaeger: With a connection of Frozen.

[12:16] Aaron J Albano: Say yeah, what? I said with the connection of Frozen.

[12:20] Bryan Plosky: Yes, absolutely.

[12:22] Aaron J Albano: And so, yeah, but it's just been a second long.

[12:27] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah.

[12:28] Aaron J Albano: But so he like, and so what's cool is that that role has been able to branch out to a bunch of different ethnic groups. And we are the four so far. Hopefully, there will be many, many more in Hamilton's future that have gotten to play the role so far.

[12:47] Bryan Plosky: And you did it all on one night.

[12:49] Aaron J Albano: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, that was that was just like the same night in the same show. There was like a quartet of kings.

[13:03] Kevin Jaeger: No, that there was one night where where me and there wasn't one night where me and Thane Jesperson were playing the king at the same time. So that was a fun that's cool. That was a fun, like newsy king day. But no, there we none of us have done the show at the same time playing the king, because we've all come and gone at to in from the show in different times. Um, so that's more like the legacy or the dynasty of Asian kings thus far.

[13:29] Kimberly Cooper: I just want to hear because you he didn't finish the second part of your question about like what was it like when you got the news.

[13:35] Aaron J Albano: Oh yeah, well dramatic was first, right? Did you where you fall through all of that stuff? So for a while, we for like maybe like two days, we were the last sort of Hamilton standing in North America. Um, where I think Broadway and all the all the sit-down companies, so LA, San Francisco, and New York all closed down on Thursday at one at one point, yeah, and then I think maybe a Friday morning, yeah, like Thursday morning, those three companies closed down. Friday morning, the Angelica Company closed down. So Friday night, we were the only show left.

[14:22] Aaron J Albano: And then as of Saturday morning, we closed. And so that's when Hamilton went dark in all of North America. And it was crazy because not in our heart. Luckily, not for the sort. Well last words, knock on wood. But we'll be Hamilton will definitely be opening. Hamilton will come back.

[14:50] Kevin Jaeger: Yes.

[14:51] Bryan Plosky: Oh. Get it. That's all I got. No. That's exciting. Okay. Brian, you can do your lovely segue now.

[15:01] Kevin Jaeger: You did it, Kevin. You did the segue. So the other day we were texting with each other because we're all at home and we did one of these screen shares. Uh and then uh we were saying like it was exciting because Frozen 2 was coming out on Disney Plus three months early because they were like, here you go, parents. Go. Here's some help. And so um uh Kimberly had seen it, but the three of us hadn't, but we also hadn't seen the first Frozen in a long time.

[15:33] Kimberly Cooper: Oh, you added I've seen it, yeah.

[15:36] Kevin Jaeger: Um so long story short, we all watched Frozen Frozen.

[15:40] Aaron J Albano: Oh, you guys hadn't seen Frozen 2.

[15:43] Kevin Jaeger: I have Disney Plus. I figured it would be on there at some point.

[15:46] Bryan Plosky: That's true. That's okay.

[15:47] Kimberly Cooper: Oh no. Everyone that works with children was like, I need to know the words to these songs.

[15:52] Aaron J Albano: Oh, sure, sure. Did you see it in the theater?

[15:55] Kimberly Cooper: I saw it in theaters, but at like 9:30, so it was only grown adults, and it was like half full.

[16:00] Aaron J Albano: And I saw it in theaters twice.

[16:04] Kimberly Cooper: Oh wow. But we also watched Frozen One. Some of us watched Frozen Fever, some of us watched Olaf's. Jay would not allow me to put on the other ones.

[16:13] Bryan Plosky: I watched all the Frozen.

[16:15] Aaron J Albano: I did too. I watched all of it. I was I had a Frozen day. I also, fun fact, guys, I watched Coco on the same day.

[16:22] Kimberly Cooper: Oh I had an entire Disney day of like emotional feels.

[16:27] Bryan Plosky: Oh, nice. Good. So had you never seen Bao before?

[16:29] Aaron J Albano: No.

[16:30] Kimberly Cooper: What's Bao?

[16:31] Aaron J Albano: Me and Jay just.

[16:34] Bryan Plosky: Oh, is that what it was? That's why I hadn't seen it.

[16:36] Kevin Jaeger: Wait, what is Bao?

[16:37] Aaron J Albano: It's a short story. A short film. It was a Pixar short.

[16:41] Kimberly Cooper: Oh, I should watch it. It's only seven minutes. It's very sweet.

[16:44] Bryan Plosky: Yeah. It's very good. All the shorts are really good on Disney.

[16:47] Kevin Jaeger: I know. Then I was like, I'll watch Lava. I'll watch it. Anybody ever watch the Pixar short that is the um the little match girl? Because that will put you through a sort of thing.

[16:55] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[16:57] Kimberly Cooper: Oh, yeah. Bow does it too.

[16:58] Aaron J Albano: In front of uh Brave La Luna.

[17:01] Kevin Jaeger: Oh, La Luna's so cute.

[17:02] Bryan Plosky: That's my favorite. Can I see Brave?

[17:04] Aaron J Albano: I don't know.

[17:05] Kevin Jaeger: It's the one where he's sweeping the stars, the moons.

[17:09] Aaron J Albano: Oh, that's a guys on your ocean?

[17:11] Kevin Jaeger: Oh, it's a guide you and the promise I'll never go.

[17:14] Bryan Plosky: Wait, we've both put to different songs. I'm just gonna be watching a lot of Disney Plus.

[17:18] Kimberly Cooper: Okay. So let's start with Frozen. We've all seen Frozen, right?

[17:25] Aaron J Albano: Correct.

[17:26] Kevin Jaeger: Yes.

[17:27] Bryan Plosky: Um how did it hold up?

[17:30] Aaron J Albano: It's real good. It's actually I w I sat down remembering that I really liked it when I saw it in theaters. I've watched it a few times since because my niece is obsessed with Frozen. So there was like multiple Christmases where it was just on all the time. It's really a great movie. The music is incredible.

[17:48] Kevin Jaeger: And for for a for there's not enough of it.

[17:52] Aaron J Albano: Oh you oh my god, you read my mind. Um for a movie I think everyone agrees. So I recently watched Mulan way less music in Mulan. There's like no music in Mulan.

[18:02] Kevin Jaeger: Four songs.

[18:06] Aaron J Albano: There's no music in Mulan.

[18:07] Bryan Plosky: And the songs that was a live action movie that got pushed back.

[18:11] Kevin Jaeger: Oh my plea.

[18:13] Aaron J Albano: Mm-hmm. I just want live action Mulan.

[18:16] Kevin Jaeger: No, it was on stage, not the movie.

[18:18] Aaron J Albano: Watching and the movie. Watching Frozen again was kind of crazy because even though it feels like Bobby and Kristen, friends of the show wrote like a full score. Like it feels like it wrote a full score. You can tell, like in the production process, but like stuff was cut, there's no closing number, and that's how most Disney movies are. But even like with those pieces that feel like they edited together in a certain way, it still feels complete, and every character has an arc, and it's very, very, very I have a question for all of you childless people that don't work with children. How often do you think about Frozen in your daily life?

[18:58] Kevin Jaeger: Because it is every 20 minutes at work.

[19:02] Aaron J Albano: Oh, interesting. So I watched it again and I was like, I know, I know.

[19:06] Bryan Plosky: Well, Frozen, I mean, because I might be the odd man out here, but Frozen was not one of my favorite movies. Um it was of course. It was very it was it was it was up until this fine up until recent days, it was it's lower on it was lower on my on my Disney rankings.

[19:28] Kevin Jaeger: Oh but I don't hold it high on my Disney rankings, but I think that like as a contemporary like I remember going to the theater and being totally surprised at how truly spectacular it was. I went in thinking I was gonna see like a fun current contemporary Disney movie, but like I walked out being blown away. I felt the same way about Enchanted.

[19:49] Aaron J Albano: Oh wow. Okay. Okay.

[19:51] Kevin Jaeger: I mean, I go ahead.

[19:53] Aaron J Albano: No, you go, Aaron.

[19:54] Kevin Jaeger: No, because I mean because I because I like I liked it a lot. I remember when I initially watched it and going from initially watching it in what two 2013, 2014? Is that when it came out?

[20:04] Aaron J Albano: 2013.

[20:06] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah.

[20:07] Aaron J Albano: 2013. I have the Wikipedia's up.

[20:10] Bryan Plosky: Nice.

[20:10] Aaron J Albano: Perfect. 2013, like being like, this is fine. This is good. It feels like it feels a little bit like Disney wanted to capitalize on their own version of Wicked, which, hey, make the money. And I thought in that way, they were very successful, almost more successful than frankly Wicked is.

[20:33] Kevin Jaeger: But well, movie in Broadway, I mean I mean just story-wise.

[20:39] Aaron J Albano: Like like you have actual sisters who truly love each other versus like best friends. And that's that's a that's a relationship that will bond stronger, and especially when that's what the movie's about. Like that's the one thing that I do love about Frozen, is and and extending into Frozen 2 is I think the strongest thing that it does is turns almost what the Disney tropes are on their own heads. Of true love's kiss and all of that. Like what what is differ what is true love actually defined as? I think that blew me away and took me by surprise because, like you said, totally flipped it on its head, or or told it more truthfully than other movies have ever done before.

[21:27] Kevin Jaeger: Well, and even and even when like while you're watching it, the like when you're returning to it, I didn't realize how much they almost pushed the misdirect where they were like where Hans like left her. Spoiler alert. And then like both Olaf and Kristen Bell, what's her name? Anna are like Christoph, Christoph's here, Christoph's here, Christoph's here. And they push the fact that Kristoff is her true love almost so much that you just assume that that's who they're talking about. And then she chooses to go to Elsa, and that's but it's like pushed hard that like you're supposed to be Christoph's.

[22:27] Aaron J Albano: And then finally they could just be like, hey, love is for anyone that you want to love.

[22:33] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah. And like I know I I would hate for this to sound like I'm mansplaining in any way, but I really think I do think it's like it's incredibly important to have that message be sent out to young girls that like the love of a sister, the love of a close friend, like counting on somebody is not like less important or like less valued than like a romantic love. It's like even more important in some cases.

[23:01] Bryan Plosky: Yeah. My relationship with the three of you is just as important as other relationships in my life that may be more romantic, except for Kevin.

[23:11] Kevin Jaeger: I mean, not Kevin.

[23:14] Bryan Plosky: I meant except for Aaron or I mean that right now for the first time. Sorry, I was looking at Kevin laughing. That's what it was. My sister, who has a young daughter who's five years old, who is obsessed with Frozen, she said, like when she had a kid and started showing her all the Disney movies that we all grew up loving and watching all the time. She was like, I she always calls them the slutty Disney princesses.

[23:38] Aaron J Albano: Yeah.

[23:39] Kevin Jaeger: Because they're constantly just throwing themselves at dudes.

[23:42] Bryan Plosky: And like maybe it's this one.

[23:44] Aaron J Albano: Yeah.

[23:45] Kevin Jaeger: Maybe it's this one.

[23:46] Bryan Plosky: In these movies, not only are they throwing themselves at dudes, but they're like six at the beast.

[23:51] Aaron J Albano: Like Ariel is like 16.

[23:53] Kevin Jaeger: And like oh, for sure.

[23:55] Bryan Plosky: And like also they don't eat.

[23:58] Aaron J Albano: Right.

[23:58] Kevin Jaeger: They're tiny, they're 16, and they're throwing themselves at men.

[24:02] Bryan Plosky: So my apples kill them. And there's a cold food be our guest number, and she has soup. Yeah, she doesn't even eat. So, like the whole thing is the grand stuff. My sister. As like as a mother, my sister says, like, she's so like happy to have a movie like this to be able to show her kid to like encourage a strong, like self-sufficient, self-controlled girl who like doesn't need a man to tell her what to do.

[24:33] Aaron J Albano: And what's nice about it, too.

[24:36] Kevin Jaeger: And what's nice about it is that Frozen's not only a movie that doesn't promote that, it actively promotes the opposite of that. Like it like loves like Anna starts as that girl. She starts as that girl because that's what her lack of socialization has done to her. Yeah, like I love that their arcs are not that. Their arcs are separate from that. That is just a fact that they always believe in. And then they're just just what happens at the end is just circumstantial in terms of like true love's kiss, blah blah blah, warms your heart. But like they both start that way. That's not the arc. The arc is like her finding more freedom and getting outside, and like the arc is play 60.

[25:16] Aaron J Albano: And yet they don't they don't downplay the importance of having a strong man who does love you and respect you and like want to have a relationship with you because Christoph is not an idiot, he's not a bad character. And I'm gonna talk to Reindeers a little too much. But what's awesome about that too is that he you watch him learn in the movie also because he starts kind of chauvinist in the movie, like oh yeah, wanting to starts as like that very typical rom anti-hero man of just like that's not the guy you want. I'm gonna be over here, like James Marsden in 27 dresses, just telling you how love is fake.

[25:55] Kevin Jaeger: First of all, 27 dresses is a great film.

[25:59] Aaron J Albano: And James Marsden is the cuckold of Hollywood, yeah.

[26:02] Kevin Jaeger: Enchanted Superman returns, you can go on.

[26:07] Aaron J Albano: He's a super the notebook in every movie.

[26:12] Kevin Jaeger: Sure.

[26:13] Bryan Plosky: It's not true.

[26:14] Kevin Jaeger: You're a X-Men, like what would you say?

[26:19] Aaron J Albano: That's so funny. I refuse to feel bad for James Marsden because he's just fine. Let's talk a little bit about Olaf's uh Frozen Adventure and Frozen Fever. These are the shorts. Frozen Fever aired in front of this the live action Cinderella. And uh and Olaf's Frozen Adventure uh uh was in front of Coco. I have seen some of the Frozen Fever um Elsa and Anna costumes at work.

[26:45] Bryan Plosky: Oh so that's Mosby first. I was like, why do they wear green? Which one do we start with? Like which one is like in canon order?

[26:51] Aaron J Albano: Canon canon order is Frozen Fever, and then Olaf Frozen's gonna be.

[26:57] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, Frozen fe so in order, it's Frozen, Frozen Fever. So 2013, 2015, 2017 is Olaf, and then 2019 was Frozen 2.

[27:07] Bryan Plosky: Okay, did everybody watch Frozen Fever or just the three boys?

[27:12] Aaron J Albano: I didn't watch it.

[27:14] Kevin Jaeger: I watched it.

[27:14] Bryan Plosky: It's great. So Frozen Fever is a seven-minute video about Elsa having coronavirus.

[27:23] Aaron J Albano: She does also she sneezes and then they turn into like little little little iceman penises.

[27:23] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah.

[27:23] Aaron J Albano: Iceman penises.

[27:32] Kevin Jaeger: So they're like look like little penises.

[27:34] Bryan Plosky: They do the snowmen.

[27:36] Aaron J Albano: They are happy, Eric. This is on everything, and literally I was like, get some Purell girl. So Kimberly, just to fill you in. Basically, what happens is it's Anna's birthday, and Elsa has planned this like incredible day for her where they're like following this string and it leaves them all over the kingdom because like that's ridiculous, but it works.

[28:00] Aaron J Albano: And like the string leads them to places where Anna gets presents at each location.

[28:05] Kevin Jaeger: So it's a scavenger hat.

[28:07] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, it's the scavenger hat on a string.

[28:09] Kevin Jaeger: And but the whole Anna string.

[28:12] Aaron J Albano: Uh, but like the whole time Elsa is sneezing, and when she sneezes.

[28:19] Kimberly Cooper: Yes.

[28:20] Aaron J Albano: So when she sneezes, like little tiny snowmen pop up here for six of them, and they're all like dancing around.

[28:30] Kevin Jaeger: Meanwhile, the end of the scavenger hunt is in like the courtyard of the castle where there's a giant cake and a whole party, and Kristoff is there with Olaf, and they're supposed to make sure everything's ready for when Anna and Elsa get there.

[28:42] Aaron J Albano: Well, maybe that's what you should have proposed. In Frozen 2, when he makes the joke that they're playing charades and he can read now, that is a direct joke from Frozen Fever.

[28:52] Kevin Jaeger: Yes.

[28:53] Bryan Plosky: Yeah.

[28:53] Aaron J Albano: Because he couldn't read then.

[28:55] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah. I will say I think this IP is really good at throwing back to their previous stuff.

[29:01] Kevin Jaeger: Sure.

[29:02] Aaron J Albano: Frozen 2. We'll get into Frozen 2.

[29:05] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah.

[29:06] Aaron J Albano: Yeah. Frozen, because Frozen Fever, it starts with her like trying to the cake topper. Elsa's making like cake toppers.

[29:15] Kevin Jaeger: And I think first one, what? First one is just Anna alone and she's like lonely.

[29:21] Bryan Plosky: And it's them together, but standing like separate. And she's like, that's they're too stiff. And then she puts up like when Anna is like a little bit of a few.

[29:31] Aaron J Albano: I accidentally crisp her with my foot.

[29:33] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah. And she's like, Oh, we can't do that. And it's just and yeah, I giggled at that. It's really kind of a little bit more than a little bit.

[29:41] Aaron J Albano: Frozen Fever ends with spoiler for the seven minute movie, but it basically ends with uh with Elsa pushing to like keep going and Anna being like, Girl, you're sick. Let's go home. And she's like, No, I don't want to ruin your day. And then like it builds to a big like crescendo when they get to the party, and all of the snowmen that have been created by Elsa's sneezes all along the party or all the party, and they created this like giant like pyramid holding up the cake, and so Anna's super excited, they cut the cake, and then Elsa like almost falls off a tower because she's like feverish and sick.

[30:19] Kimberly Cooper: So Anna She somehow gets drunk while she's sick.

[30:22] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, she's like drunk sick. So then Elsa like almost falls, Anna catches her, and it's like, and then Anna takes is like, Can we just postpone this for today? And she takes her to bed, and Elsa's like in bed and she's taking care of her, and she's like, Thank you for the best birthday present. She's like, What do you mean I ruined your birthday? And Anna's like, No, you're letting me take care of you. It's so cute.

[30:44] Kevin Jaeger: Also, the song uh making today a perfect day that Kristen and Bobby wrote is wonderful.

[30:50] Aaron J Albano: It's so good. It helps to like solidify their relationship, but also like it. I love that every single step in this frozen like franchise is solidifying instead of like messing with the relationships.

[31:06] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah, I know I hate hate one thing. I mean, we can love Strozen Adventure comes next, obviously. But like I hate let me let me let me make that more positive. I love that this franchise hasn't like put broken them apart, like like gotten one like oh, there's a misunderstanding, and one's mad at the other. Like, I love that they are a team.

[31:28] Aaron J Albano: Oh, that's yeah, and the only reason that Elsa may send Anna away in that very both trying to protect each other, yeah.

[31:35] Kimberly Cooper: And there's not a like they can get angry at each other, but it's never like, oh, she went behind my back and you know did this. Like, like the boy I liked, yeah.

[31:44] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, it's oh yeah. Like misunderstandings of a like strong sisterly bond.

[31:49] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, yeah. But like I don't want to hike. The health of their relationship is like central to all of these movies.

[32:03] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah, of course, short movies.

[32:05] Aaron J Albano: Yeah. It's Anna's birthday, and it's not Kristoff taking her on this big romantic vacation or like all over the city. It's the sisters doing something, and Christoph's job is to finish what Elsa created.

[32:19] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah. Can you talk a little bit about Olaf's Frozen Adventure?

[32:23] Aaron J Albano: Yes.

[32:24] Kimberly Cooper: So me or Aaron.

[32:27] Aaron J Albano: I don't know Aaron. I don't know him that well.

[32:29] Kevin Jaeger: Right.

[32:29] Aaron J Albano: Okay. I know Kevin, you'll do a good job. We'll move on to Olaf's Frozen Adventure. Olaf's Frozen Adventure, which fun fact was the music and lyrics were written by uh Kristen and Kristen's younger sister, who is working with her writing partner on a musical that is eventually going to open off Broadway. Everybody should go see that with Jason Gate.

[32:50] Kimberly Cooper: Um but anyways, Frozen Olaf's Adventure is about Christmas time. And Anna and Elsa have planned this. Like they start Erendale starts Christmas by ringing a bell. This big fancy bell that they bring into.

[33:04] Aaron J Albano: Like a big dual bell or something, right?

[33:05] Kevin Jaeger: That sounds fun.

[33:06] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, also just to it's uh Kate Anderson and uh Alyssa Samson.

[33:12] Kimberly Cooper: I think it's Elisa.

[33:13] Aaron J Albano: Elisa Sampsol, you're right, sorry. Um, so the they ring this bell, and Anna and Elsa have planned this big party for everybody in town to come inside the castle. That's a surprise that it's like their Christmas party to kick off the holiday.

[33:31] Kevin Jaeger: And everybody ring the bell, and then everybody they're like, surprise! And show that like they throw the doors open to show it's a party, but everyone's leaving and like not coming inside. And they're like, hey, we threw up, we're throwing a party, come in. And they're like, oh no, no, we don't want to mess up your Christmas traditions. We all have our traditions, we're gonna go home and do them. So like have fun and do your Christmas tradition.

[33:50] Aaron J Albano: But then Anna and Elsa are like go inside alone with Olaf, and Olaf's like, great, let's do your Christmas tradition. What is it? And they're both like, we don't have one because we didn't celebrate Christmas after our parents passed away, and I was isolated from you, so we don't have a tradition. So that's the mega tradition. So Elsa's super sad because she's like, It's my fault. I ruined us having a Christmas tradition. And so, like, they're both the sisters are both separate. So Olaf goes to Sven and says, Bro, we gotta get here.

[34:21] Kevin Jaeger: Yes.

[34:22] Aaron J Albano: He goes, Yeah, we have to go out into the city and get them a tradition to bring home.

[34:28] Kimberly Cooper: Oh yeah.

[34:31] Aaron J Albano: So they have to go into the city to find a tradition for them. So basically, Olaf and Sven go to from house to house and find out all these crazy traditions that these people do for the holidays, and they load them. Each house gives them something of their tradition to bring with them back to the castle. So they load all this stuff onto the sleigh, uh craziness ensues, and the sleigh falls down a cliff and blows up, and all the traditions that Olaf was bringing back are lost.

[34:58] Kevin Jaeger: And they all get murdered, and they're all murdered.

[35:01] Aaron J Albano: It's really sad. So Olaf's really sad that he like didn't get to do what he wanted to do. So Olaf's like, I'm not going home to the castle, so he just stays in the woods. So Anna and Elsa are like lost in the woods.

[35:13] Kimberly Cooper: Right.

[35:14] Aaron J Albano: Anna, Elsa, and Christoph are like, oh shoot, where is Olaf? We're freaking out. So they get the entire city just of Arendale to start looking for them.

[35:23] Kevin Jaeger: Wait, but first, but before that, meanwhile, while Olaf and Svenna were out Gallivantang, Elsa and Anna were in like the attic to try to find like their own like to see if any if there was anything in their history, like in their trunks or whatever. That maybe gave them a hint on traditions that they found that they had before they were separated or anything like that.

[35:48] Aaron J Albano: Anna and Elsa find a box, and Anna shows Elsa and is like, we do have a tradition and shows it to her, but we don't get to see it. So it's like a teaser. So then they go and try to find Olaf. They find Olaf, and Olaf's like, I'm so sorry. I tried to get you a tradition, but I ruined everything. And they're like, hey, we actually found a tradition. And he's like, what is it? And they show him inside the box every single year, when even when they were isolated, Anna would draw a picture of Olaf. Because remember when they were little, they created the snowman. So Olaf is their tradition. Because every year for Christmas, Anna gave her like an Olaf present or an Olaf toy or an Olaf picture. So they're not going to be able to do it. But even after their sequester.

[36:30] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah, so she was like, This is our tradition, is Olaf. So it's one of those like family is all that matters. Being together is all that matters.

[36:38] Aaron J Albano: And then they say buy your kids an Olaf toy, that's all that matters.

[36:41] Kevin Jaeger: Right.

[36:41] Aaron J Albano: Right. Yes, actually.

[36:44] Kimberly Cooper: What that is.

[36:47] Aaron J Albano: You get a new Olaf every Christmas, just like Illso.

[36:50] Kevin Jaeger: So that was Olaf's Christmas vacation, or whatever it's called.

[36:54] Kimberly Cooper: Wait a turn that's Christmas vacation.

[36:58] Aaron J Albano: Way to pop off that entire like sentimental moment into capitalism.

[37:04] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, way to go.

[37:05] Aaron J Albano: Again, I see frozen every day. I have met many an Ana and Elsa Party princess. I can rate them for you.

[37:16] Kimberly Cooper: Oh, you would actually be sometimes the wigs aren't good.

[37:19] Aaron J Albano: Kimberly, you would actually be a really cute Ana.

[37:21] Kimberly Cooper: Thank you. And Frozen 2, her hair color is more alike to mine than in Frozen World. I actually thought that when I was watching.

[37:29] Aaron J Albano: So let's talk Frozen 2.

[37:32] Kimberly Cooper: So I just no, real just really quick thoughts on Olaf's Christmas vacation.

[37:36] Aaron J Albano: Oh, sure.

[37:37] Kimberly Cooper: It's cute. I don't think I don't, it's cute. I think that it gets a worse rap than it deserves because it aired in front of Coco, and it was 20 minutes of like unprecedented, like people were just like very confused expectations.

[37:40] Aaron J Albano: 20 minutes?

[37:52] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah.

[38:04] Aaron J Albano: And they ended up cutting it from theatrical releases, which is unfortunate because it's it's really enjoyable, but like when you that's that's a half hour out of your movie with a kid. It was to air on Disney the way that they did it during the holidays. It was a great like everything. It's a great like half hour special. And I think it's value in sort of the canon of like the frozen world is that it definitely establishes Olaf as part of the family, instead of like just as like a close friend of the family.

[38:37] Kimberly Cooper: Right.

[38:39] Aaron J Albano: Like it it really does. Instead of like their sidekick, like all the other princesses have a little sidekick.

[38:42] Kevin Jaeger: Right.

[38:43] Aaron J Albano: Like Mooshes, not even in the live action movie.

[38:45] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah.

[38:46] Aaron J Albano: Yes, they were very much like I would agree with Aaron because Aaron actually texted all of us that when we were in our like day of watching Frozen. Aaron had watched it before all the avalanche of a day.

[38:59] Kevin Jaeger: Oh so Aaron had text that night.

[39:04] Aaron J Albano: Well, so I watched it with that in mind, and I a hundred percent agree that it just it really did show how like they're a unit. Like Olaf, Christoph, Ana and Elsa are a family, and even Sven is like kind of like a part of their crew, and like it's a little bit they're they're chosen family, yes, which extends farther than just the sisters, and I think that's going into Frozen 2. I appreciated seeing that because it really did give them a solid groove feel that was like a huge importance to the dynamic of what we watched in Frozen 2.

[39:41] Kevin Jaeger: Yes.

[39:42] Aaron J Albano: Um let's let's let's go into Frozen 2. Dive into Frozen 2. What so let's start with the people who have seen it. Uh what was your reaction and what was your re-reaction?

[39:57] Kimberly Cooper: So I'll start re-reaction. I'm a big frozen two fan. I love Frozen 2. I think it watched again tonight. What do you say? I could watch it again tonight. It's it's really good, and I want to re re-feel it. I think it's one of the best, like I was telling them in order to get them to watch it by accident. When we were talking about when I said when I said like my like my go-to line about Frozen, whenever everyone's like, is Frozen 2 really that good? Because I remember thinking that when the trailer was released, I was like, do we really need this? And then I watched the trailer and I was like, is this a movie about gold? But I literally was like, after watching the movie, I was like, not only is Frozen 2 better than Frozen One, I feel like Frozen 2 makes Frozen 1 better. And watching rewatching both of them today, yesterday.

[41:00] Aaron J Albano: I don't lie.

[41:01] Kimberly Cooper: We don't know you that well. Don't lie to us when you watch these things.

[41:03] Aaron J Albano: I mean, I yeah, we've never spoken before it's just it's just a coincidence that I happened to watch all of these movies yesterday. It wasn't because of the long standards.

[41:14] Kevin Jaeger: No.

[41:14] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, so I I think it's fantastic. I think it's one of their better mov the better movies that Disney Theatrical has Disney Theatrical. Disney Productions has Disney Animation has done in the past few years. And it definitely elevated Frozen One was nowhere even close to the top of my list, and Frozen Two has elevated both of those movies higher into the list.

[41:40] Kevin Jaeger: Sure.

[41:40] Kimberly Cooper: Okay. Really?

[41:42] Aaron J Albano: I really liked it. Um I had heard like maybe just in to the known. I saw it like a week after it came out because all of the children were already singing it at work.

[41:52] Kimberly Cooper: Sure.

[41:52] Aaron J Albano: And it was already a problem that I didn't get what they were talking about. Um though I do remember the day I was gonna see it, all these little girls were just like in the lobby at work, going, Oh, like just screaming. And then I was just like, Oh, that was Aaron. You you didn't meet him yet, but that was Aaron.

[42:10] Kimberly Cooper: That was me.

[42:12] Aaron J Albano: I asked what it's supposed her this girl because four-year old girls don't understand spoilers. And so I was just like, Who, like, what's that? You're seeing. She goes, It's Elsa's mom.

[42:22] Kimberly Cooper: Oh no.

[42:24] Aaron J Albano: Oh. Okay. And then I went to see the movie.

[42:28] Kimberly Cooper: Spoiler.

[42:29] Aaron J Albano: I know. She was four. She didn't know. She was just like, it's Elsa's mom. Because she had probably seen the movie five times at that point.

[42:36] Kimberly Cooper: That's a new oh, I have so many questions.

[42:38] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, it was so funny. I really liked the movie. I could tell while I was there that like storyboard stuff had gotten cut and reworked without a little too much uh planning. Like there was something they were referencing that I feel like they had introduced before, but cut to actually know it was more than it was just like Jason Ritter. I was just like, I feel like his character was gonna do more because it's Jason Ritter, but who was Jason Ritter?

[43:07] Aaron J Albano: Which one did you go to the road? He was the northern reader friend who ends up getting with the female one that one befriended Elsa. Elsa, like honey, honey berry or whatever that girl's name was.

[43:19] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, but she writer was Jason Ritter.

[43:22] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, oh Jason, Jason Riddle Rider's. I just I just need to say I like your little shoulder pop.

[43:25] Kimberly Cooper: I just need to say that Frozen 2 left me cold. I did not enjoy it, and I was bored for an hour and a half.

[43:36] Aaron J Albano: I can't wait to talk to you.

[43:39] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, I was totally bored. I thought it was and listen, I'm not a six-year-old. It was very predictable. I thought it was super convoluted, and I really was uninterested in what was happening.

[43:51] Bryan Plosky: Wow.

[43:52] Kimberly Cooper: Oh that's valid.

[43:54] Aaron J Albano: That's okay. I mean everyone's everyone's opinion is valid.

[43:57] Kevin Jaeger: No, I want to take your brain. I will say there were multiple times that I had to pause the movie and be like, did I zone out and miss a scene that's a good idea?

[44:06] Aaron J Albano: I found I found there were things that didn't make sense. If you listen to the soundtrack, there are cut songs, and some of those cut songs, I'm like, oh, they were gonna go this direction and then didn't, but didn't change some stuff leading up to it, just wrote new songs.

[44:21] Kimberly Cooper: It was a beautiful movie to watch. Like the animation is absolutely gorgeous.

[44:26] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, it's also so 90s.

[44:29] Kevin Jaeger: Songs are super fun.

[44:31] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah, um I mean, the songs are memorable, just like the first one. There is no question.

[44:37] Aaron J Albano: The here's the thing. When my favorite part of a movie is Olaf doing charades telling me about the first movie, you have a problem with me.

[44:47] Kimberly Cooper: Oh my god, that was so incredible.

[44:50] Aaron J Albano: He was like, at least we have our parents. Our parents are that was amazing.

[44:56] Kevin Jaeger: Very funny.

[44:58] Aaron J Albano: To me, that I'd like, I don't know. That was also the best, the best part of the whole movie.

[45:03] Kimberly Cooper: No question was Lost in the Woods. The 80s throwback was spectacular.

[45:05] Kevin Jaeger: Okay.

[45:08] Aaron J Albano: Was that the was that the boy voice?

[45:10] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah, uh with the reindeer.

[45:11] Kevin Jaeger: Well, why didn't you like the ice horse?

[45:14] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, well, so what's the one? I mean, I like the hours. It was fine.

[45:16] Kimberly Cooper: It was just like I like when we were watching the movie. Bryan texted because Bryan and I actually I think we're watching it at the same time.

[45:23] Aaron J Albano: Like I was like 20 minutes ahead of you, maybe.

[45:27] Kevin Jaeger: But there was a part because I Bryan texty is like, great. So it's Avatar, the Disney movie.

[45:32] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, this is Avatar the Last Airbender. There are there are four elements.

[45:37] Kimberly Cooper: It's a little bit Avatar, it's a little bit Captain Planet.

[45:40] Aaron J Albano: It's great.

[45:40] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, Captain Planet.

[45:43] Kimberly Cooper: Again, but yeah, so so curious. Like what like what didn't connect to you about it?

[45:48] Aaron J Albano: Just um, I thought it was I I loved to meet Into the Unknown was spectacular and a great character piece.

[45:59] Kimberly Cooper: And like that early in the film, really it really set the stage for what Elsa was going through.

[46:05] Aaron J Albano: Also, don't tell me in Olaf's Great Adventure that Olaf is the Christmas, and then all of a sudden do the same twist in this, where but Elsa's the con the the bridge between the two of them.

[46:16] Kimberly Cooper: Oh okay.

[46:17] Aaron J Albano: Oh well maybe because I hadn't seen Olaf's Frozen Adventure.

[46:21] Kimberly Cooper: So like I don't know, like the whole, the whole like also stakes for what these people were going through, the stakes were not high enough.

[46:29] Kevin Jaeger: These people were lost in the woods. These people were lost in the woods for years, and when they see new people, they're just like, oh hey, how you doing? I'm I'm Sterling K Brown.

[46:40] Aaron J Albano: For the second secondary characters.

[46:42] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah, okay.

[46:43] Aaron J Albano: Oh, that makes sense. Secondary characters had singing this song while the leads are all decking off stage.

[46:50] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, I mean, like secondary, yeah. Secondary characters just didn't do it for me this time around.

[46:56] Kimberly Cooper: Okay.

[46:57] Aaron J Albano: I think there was it also seems like again, they had more to do that cat.

[47:02] Kevin Jaeger: And listen, again, no, I I I don't know if I I mean, I I respect your opinion, but I think that once

[47:02] Aaron J Albano: No, you don't.

[47:11] Kevin Jaeger: While some of the secondary characters were not like hit may not have hit it for you. Like, like there's certain ones that I think they did really well.

[47:18] Aaron J Albano: Right.

[47:19] Kevin Jaeger: It's like the leader of like the the tribe. The leader of the pack. The older woman who is like the leader of the group.

[47:26] Aaron J Albano: I like it.

[47:27] Kevin Jaeger: I thought she was great. I thought that the moment when Kristoff thought he was proposing to Ana, but it was actually her, and she said no and was like, I um so good.

[47:39] Aaron J Albano: I was over that subplot immediately because I knew what was gonna happen.

[47:44] Kevin Jaeger: I knew it was gonna be a thousand mistakes, and then they were gonna get it.

[47:47] Aaron J Albano: I to me that proposing there's a cut song where she proposes at the end, and I think that was probably the better.

[47:54] Kevin Jaeger: Oh, that would have been amazing.

[47:55] Aaron J Albano: Oh wow that would have that that I know if she payoff for all those jokes.

[48:02] Kevin Jaeger: So much better.

[48:03] Aaron J Albano: And that would have to me, that would have elevated the film because then you have that reversal of thematic element.

[48:10] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah, it would also be another feminist moment.

[48:16] Aaron J Albano: Can we applaud the panic at the disco rendition?

[48:19] Kevin Jaeger: Oh ridiculously good.

[48:21] Aaron J Albano: Brenda Yuri, man.

[48:23] Kimberly Cooper: Well, both first off, the like the Adina Menzel like version.

[48:28] Aaron J Albano: She also sounds killer. Like, this is like literally, I remember the first time I watched it, and the first thing that I thought was like, oh, Adina's doing this today.

[48:36] Kevin Jaeger: Okay.

[48:39] Aaron J Albano: It was like vintage.

[48:41] Kimberly Cooper: Adina, it was it wasn't like we were back in the Neederlander and we were watching Over the Moon.

[48:46] Aaron J Albano: I was like, oh, she's in peak.

[48:48] Kimberly Cooper: I agree.

[48:50] Aaron J Albano: This is gonna be so picky and disgusting, but I'm gonna say it anyway.

[48:54] Kimberly Cooper: Already go.

[48:56] Aaron J Albano: She was so good in this that the animation couldn't keep up with her in into the unknown.

[49:02] Kimberly Cooper: So the mouth and the way the mouth was opening was not like oh that I actually did agree with.

[49:09] Aaron J Albano: Even in uh the first movie, I was always, but it was also just hard for my mind to be like I hear Adina madzel and i see this little blonde thing also i actually can't really i love the second song when she's uh i forget what it is the second song show yourself what is it show yourself oh i love that i thought is so good show yourself is show yourself is why i love this movie as much as i do because the the journey that elsa takes from movie one to movie also how many costume changes does she get in this movie every song new outfit new hair well that i mean but that but that's what's so great about elsa's like journey about because with all of her like drag race reveals or pokemon revolution evolution whatever you want to call them like literally like you can see like her journey like through her costume all the time but like in the best way because like I remember when I was watching and I was like it's it's it's it's her journey that bring me to tears and then maybe it's because it's the journey of all like like queer people everywhere I agree with that a hundred percent it's literally like she she starts she starts the entire journey like oppressed and like suppressed and like to make sure that she's concealed and it can't be herself she then goes concealed don't feel wait no there's a chord exactly and she then like but then like let it go and this is what makes me upset when people don't really understand let it go because let it go is like yes.

[50:45] Kimberly Cooper: Really at song.

[50:46] Aaron J Albano: And it's brilliant in in the way, in like its structure. When I was like, one of like their versions of it who people who don't understand that, like, no, she's gotta build the palace because she's got to build her safe place before she changes her before she changes internally, and that's in her clothes.

[51:05] Kimberly Cooper: Before she changes keys as well.

[51:07] Aaron J Albano: Yeah, all of these things this order of change has to happen before she changes herself.

[51:12] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah, and then and then from here, one of my friends that I watched the movie with was like we were both balling.

[51:20] Aaron J Albano: Other than us, who we met for the first time?

[51:22] Kimberly Cooper: Who we met for the first time, yeah.

[51:23] Aaron J Albano: I've been alone.

[51:24] Kimberly Cooper: See, this is why I'm he's always been quarantined.

[51:28] Aaron J Albano: I've always been quarantined my entire life.

[51:30] Kimberly Cooper: Um, just like Elsa can still don't feel.

[51:33] Aaron J Albano: Um but like, and then show yourself happens where it's like now she has lived in this way to like now she's comfortable in her stuff.

[51:45] Kimberly Cooper: Now is where she learns what her purpose is.

[51:47] Aaron J Albano: We are talking about it.

[51:49] Kevin Jaeger: You can only learn what your purpose is when you are fully and acceptingly yourself, and that's 100% agree.

[51:57] Aaron J Albano: And I was gonna like I want to piggyback off what Aaron said, I think it's a queer person watching this movie. I had a different experience because I agree with Aaron.

[52:05] Kevin Jaeger: I feel like part one of like Frozen One is like almost like Elsa's character coming out in a way because she's like very loudly extolling who she is, but then there's a second part of that experience that a lot of people don't ever talk about.

[52:19] Aaron J Albano: We always talk about the coming out journey. What's your coming out story? What's your this?

[52:22] Kevin Jaeger: But like we don't talk about how like once you've come out and had that announcement, you then have to figure out how to live as yourself.

[52:30] Aaron J Albano: And I think this second movie is Elsa learning to live as herself, and I actually got really teary-eyed when Elsa realized that she couldn't go home.

[52:41] Kimberly Cooper: Sure.

[52:42] Aaron J Albano: And that she had to created a new place.

[52:45] Kevin Jaeger: And I think that this movie was really powerful because show yourself is that moment where she's like, you know what? Like, I I've said who I am, people know who I am, like I've shown it all, but now like I need to like show yourself is like a question about like understanding the truth.

[53:02] Aaron J Albano: And like I I'm actually gonna listen now.

[53:04] Kevin Jaeger: And I want to know the real reality.

[53:06] Aaron J Albano: This movie is way more interesting if you're not paying attention to the actual plot.

[53:11] Kevin Jaeger: If you're following the characters for me, if you're following the characters' journeys and placing your own feelings on it as opposed to following the convoluted journey of them world building, it is a good.

[53:26] Kimberly Cooper: I also found that about Anna's song too.

[53:29] Aaron J Albano: I mean, a bunch of the songs just seemed like they were write a song about a theme or a song a kid would like for this moment, and then they latched a plot on top of it.

[53:37] Kevin Jaeger: Because Anna Song is teaching kids how to deal with anxiety and depression.

[53:41] Aaron J Albano: Yes, it is, absolutely.

[53:42] Kimberly Cooper: Absolutely.

[53:43] Aaron J Albano: Well, here's a question because I remember listening Frozen 2 out of context is a better movie for me than Frozen 2 in context.

[53:51] Kevin Jaeger: That's why the songs are so good.

[53:54] Aaron J Albano: Huh. Well, because okay, here's a question, and there's an honest question because I don't know.

[53:57] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah, I remember an awesome movie.

[53:59] Aaron J Albano: When this movie when as opposed to this, I remember when Frozen two Frozen 2 came out.

[54:07] Kevin Jaeger: Oh, you remember last fall?

[54:09] Aaron J Albano: I'm gonna kill you.

[54:11] Kimberly Cooper: I need more wine.

[54:13] Aaron J Albano: Um when that happened, I finished this. I was listening to this just now.

[54:19] Kevin Jaeger: Jamie had one glass.

[54:20] Aaron J Albano: Oh, okay. I was listening to this interview with Bobby and Kristen on Sirius and Sirius XM Broadway, and um and they were talking about how like the way they approached the sequel is that they didn't want to do a second movie.

[54:37] Kimberly Cooper: They wanted to do an act two to an act one.

[54:39] Aaron J Albano: And act one is thinking honestly frozen two.

[54:44] Kevin Jaeger: That they should have waited to do frozen on Broadway and had Act One, Act Two.

[54:50] Aaron J Albano: I do want to say that my favorite part of the film was that Elsa found like Ice Cerebro from X-Men.

[54:57] Kimberly Cooper: Wait, what did you say?

[54:59] Aaron J Albano: You know, Cerebro from the X movie where like where Professor X puts on the helmet and he can see all the mutants.

[55:05] Kimberly Cooper: Oh yes.

[55:06] Aaron J Albano: When during Kill Yourself, she like gets in there and she's like, This is your life.

[55:10] Kimberly Cooper: Like I know it was really cool.

[55:13] Aaron J Albano: Oh, wait, but by the way, viewing it as not a separate movie and more as an act two.

[55:19] Kevin Jaeger: Does that change your perspective on it on Frozen Two?

[55:21] Aaron J Albano: Or there are two ways for me to look at this, and I I have to.

[55:27] Kevin Jaeger: The first way is that like it is a film, it is an hour and 45 minute film that has a plot and has an arc.

[55:33] Aaron J Albano: I found that boring.

[55:35] Kevin Jaeger: If I look at this as an act two to frozen one and just take the character arcs of who they are and where they're getting from point one, point A to point B, and I eliminate like the plot that gets them there, spectacular.

[55:48] Aaron J Albano: Oh, interesting.

[55:49] Kevin Jaeger: Okay, I can buy that.

[55:50] Aaron J Albano: Because yeah, because what I what I focus on is the journey of the character.

[55:52] Kevin Jaeger: That's what I was I was I was saying.

[55:54] Aaron J Albano: It's not really about like that the dam has to come down.

[55:57] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, I was thinking this is a character.

[55:59] Aaron J Albano: That's the movie I'm watching, and I can't ignore that because that is what the writers put in front of me and how they're gonna convey this.

[56:05] Kevin Jaeger: Like when they found the ship, I was like, Yeah, of course they found the ship.

[56:08] Aaron J Albano: And I'm like, oh, the mother was the person who saved him.

[56:11] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, I knew that from day one.

[56:13] Aaron J Albano: I love from this first second.

[56:14] Kevin Jaeger: But Bryan, just a thing to throw out there.

[56:18] Aaron J Albano: I would say that Frozen Two would be categorized as a character study much more than it would be a plot-driven movie.

[56:26] Kevin Jaeger: And how exciting that children are being given a character study to experience and not just the A B C D plot movie.

[56:35] Aaron J Albano: Oh, I I agree with that absolutely, and I'm not disagreeing with that, but like also that's also me and Aaron coming from a perspective where like we both were like seeing our gay jersey across the scene.

[56:48] Kevin Jaeger: But like I would have to watch it again because when I watch a movie for the first time, I am I am giving I'm I'm focused on what the movie is giving me, and it is still a movie where there is plot and the and I I feel like I didn't I don't know.

[57:05] Aaron J Albano: I I I'm a very perceptive person, and like I totally totally got what they were doing that way with that, but unfortunately, the boredom that I felt during the film, except for the songs that moved them to certain places.

[57:20] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, yeah, the actual book scenes to me were just like plot plot plot.

[57:25] Aaron J Albano: There was so much exposition in this movie that I was waiting for songs, and the songs moved characters, and I think Bobby and Kristen killed it beyond I think they killed it more than Frozen One.

[57:36] Aaron J Albano: Oh, sure, for sure. It just to me, it just goes to show like them as theater writers served them more in Frozen Two than even in Frozen One. Um, but like when I'm with like the book scenes to me were just like get to the next song, please. Also, oh interesting. Also, I because I because I do feel like oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. No, I also, to me, though the song that I didn't enjoy the most was the um uh in terms of context was the um because there was an expectation with the Olaf song.

[58:10] Kevin Jaeger: Agreed.

[58:10] Aaron J Albano: Um there was an Sny, but it was not, and it I don't know, that that that song didn't do it for me. I think it made I think it made sense cerebrally, but it didn't feel like yeah, I would agree with that. I feel like I'm interested in my I'm interested to see what they do with Frozen 3 because you know that happening it must, right? You don't make a two without a three. I mean it's all about Anna as queen.

[58:42] Kimberly Cooper: My ginger.

[58:44] Aaron J Albano: I know that I I know I harped on this when or at least brought this point up when we were talking about Frozen One that I look like her a lot.

[58:51] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, I mean, I actually literally thought about that while I was watching the movie. I was like, oh, her hair looks more like Kimberly Snow.

[58:57] Bryan Plosky: Um, but who was that what?

[59:01] Aaron J Albano: Not it.

[59:01] Kevin Jaeger: Oh, I don't know.

[59:02] Aaron J Albano: I'm on Jay's computer.

[59:03] Bryan Plosky: Oh, that was me. I can read his text to you if you want.

[59:06] Kevin Jaeger: No, I can keep what if I just kept texting Jay so we just kept doing his text.

[59:15] Aaron J Albano: But I wanted to throw out how like really important, I think the Kristoff relationship in this story, especially Frozen 2, is I found one of my favorite parts of the whole movie is that Elsa somehow communicates to Anna what the plan needs to be to like save everything.

[59:39] Kimberly Cooper: Uh-huh.

[59:39] Aaron J Albano: And Anna's like, the dam has to come down, and she initiates the plan. And then Christoph comes in to the situation, and he doesn't say, like, what do we have to do? I'll I have a plan, or like fight her on what to do. He literally has that line where he says, What do you need?

[59:59] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, it's the best part of it.

[1:00:01] Aaron J Albano: Arguably better than my love is not fragile.

[1:00:03] Kimberly Cooper: Yes.

[1:00:04] Aaron J Albano: Like it's oh my god, when he says, My love is not fragile, that was a beautiful moment, and I loved that. But when he says, What do you need? And she says, We need to get to the dam, and he just doesn't question, doesn't think anything. He just says, Done. That is such an important message to send to young girls.

[1:00:22] Kevin Jaeger: Yes, young men.

[1:00:24] Aaron J Albano: Young anyone.

[1:00:25] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah.

[1:00:26] Aaron J Albano: The real man in the world isn't the one that says, here's the actual answer, or like, let me man explain to you what we need to do. The real man is the one who listens to the person who has more information and more of the actual connection and does what is needed.

[1:00:42] Kimberly Cooper: And to trust the person you love, yeah.

[1:00:44] Aaron J Albano: Not that you want to fit, like, I mean, even our generation doesn't even like movies before.

[1:00:50] Kevin Jaeger: Like movies are about trust in a very like yes.

[1:00:53] Aaron J Albano: And I agree with Brian that's just Disney being like, We're sorry about Beauty and the Beast.

[1:00:59] Kevin Jaeger: I agree with Brian that like the I knew exactly what was gonna happen the second that he was trying to propose, and oh, I'm awkward.

[1:01:07] Kimberly Cooper: Like he knew I knew it was gonna happen the second I did the prologue with the low.

[1:01:11] Aaron J Albano: I know, I know.

[1:01:12] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, like I knew what the movie was gonna be about.

[1:01:15] Aaron J Albano: You knew that that was gonna happen, that like he was gonna have awkward proposals that didn't work and then it would work at the end. Like, I knew that they were all fun, right?

[1:01:22] Kimberly Cooper: It all worked.

[1:01:23] Aaron J Albano: I'll give that.

[1:01:24] Kevin Jaeger: I'll give that.

[1:01:25] Aaron J Albano: They even though I predicted what was gonna happen, and we all did, like, yeah, he did an excellent job of variate of variations on a theme. Because again, kids' movies.

[1:01:34] Kimberly Cooper: That might be where because I would I would agree. A lot of it's very uh predictable. I think maybe that's why the character development is so strong, I'm able to focus on that more than the predictable plot, because the second they've signal that it's a predictable plot, I'm like, cool, I know what that is. What are we actually watching?

[1:01:52] Aaron J Albano: And that's what you do when you watch a movie with children. You go, Oh, I know what their movie's about. Let's see what they have in store for me, the grown-up.

[1:01:59] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah, and I think it's like the importance of like the fact that like he when he says my love is not fragile, like he wasn't concerned that she wouldn't say yes.

[1:02:11] Aaron J Albano: No, he wanted to just do it right.

[1:02:13] Kimberly Cooper: And I think the trope, if you do it a hundred percent, is this like what is she gonna say?

[1:02:20] Aaron J Albano: He knew she was gonna say yes.

[1:02:22] Kimberly Cooper: Because if you're proposing to someone, you should know they're gonna say yes. He wanted to do it right, he wanted to do it right for her.

[1:02:31] Kevin Jaeger: I want to hear it.

[1:02:32] Aaron J Albano: I don't know if I buy that just because of this comment.

[1:02:35] Kimberly Cooper: I don't know if I buy that just because Lost in the Woods is about his insecurity.

[1:02:39] Aaron J Albano: I guess that's true.

[1:02:40] Kimberly Cooper: That's what's strong about Lost.

[1:02:42] Aaron J Albano: So good.

[1:02:43] Kimberly Cooper: It's song is a fantastic, but that's gonna say yes.

[1:02:49] Aaron J Albano: His insecurity is about like if Jay says he knew I was gonna say yes.

[1:02:54] Kimberly Cooper: I said the at the end when sh like he comes out and he's like Queen Elsa, and she doesn't, it's not then implied that they've already gotten married and he is king.

[1:03:02] Aaron J Albano: She just goes, Hey.

[1:03:03] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah.

[1:03:04] Aaron J Albano: So and like he like he's still himself.

[1:03:07] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah.

[1:03:09] Aaron J Albano: So here's a question. Um I thought the newt was overrated.

[1:03:12] Kimberly Cooper: Would you agree?

[1:03:13] Aaron J Albano: The new the fire newt yeah he's so cute he looked a little too much like Pascal from Tank is he the actual fire spirit is that what I believe so he's the I really liked that the wind's name was Gail that's my mom's also I thought of you the whole time but G-A-L-E because of Gail Olaf said oh look Gail's back and I was I loved that it's my mom that was my favorite did you when he said I will call him I will call you Gail I literally my head was like god damn Brian Plowski Olaf was really funny in this Olaf really got oh what what did he call when he was looking Sandy Samantha Samantha Samantha this I feel like we've gotten a lot of Josh Gadd and things lately this yeah this kind of this brought it back to like Mormon I texted everybody that I was a little like Josh Gadd is has like I was like a little over the Josh Gadd like influx.

[1:04:16] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah I thought like the use of him in frozen too is more than frozen one but it is so brilliantly done that I was just laughing at everything he's very funny.

[1:04:26] Aaron J Albano: He also just was on Armchair Expert the podcast with Jack Shepard and it was really great because I had gotten a little oversaturated from him for a minute too.

[1:04:35] Kimberly Cooper: They're also doing that I was like oh wait no he's just like the nicest and they play so well into the character like the voices and who the people are like Chris like they had the sequels can write to the actors.

[1:04:50] Aaron J Albano: Oh it's like Kristen Bell's character like is like of Anna is like so tied into like her hilarious kind of like rando kind of girl kind of like comments and what was also super cool about it is like it just goes to show you what a good job Patty Miran did because I could see her this this and and in her version of Anna.

[1:05:13] Kimberly Cooper: Patty Mirrin was the like we all know that that Casey Levy could sing the sh out of that show.

[1:05:21] Aaron J Albano: Sure.

[1:05:21] Kimberly Cooper: She sounded eight times a week and she was such an amazing Anna or Elsa but like Patty Muren was the heart of that Broadway production.

[1:05:32] Aaron J Albano: Because her performance of Anna was like revelatory like she was so good in that show that that part was so like it felt like it had been crafted specifically for her and when you're doing a musical adaptation of a very famous Disney movie to have your own individual stamp on it is such an like a huge shout out to Patty's talent.

[1:05:55] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah like having a good like having her stamp on it and yet still paying proper homage to the original material.

[1:06:03] Bryan Plosky: I think it's pronounced homage um well this brings us to the end of our episode Aaron thank you so much for joining us for the first time it was a pleasure thanks for having me it's a pleasure to meet you all three of you you can we have known each other for a long time should we embargo Aaron again yeah I wonder if I could you mean for the first time should we coronavirus embargo Aaron?
