Musicals With Cheese Podcast

"Walk with me, walk with me..." This week we're revisiting one of our earliest episodes, where I'd say this adaptation addresses many of Andrew DeWolf's original critiques of the musical "Next to Normal" and removes a lot of the more black and white takes regarding mental health. But we're not alone this time. Today we're joined by the hilarious comedian Erin Cholakian to talk about the rock musical Next to Normal.

How to get to Scmigadoon? You go to take the long way through. Through Apple TV, then cancellation. Then to the lights of Broadway in a truncated version of the story that just doesn't quite hit as hard as that darn TV Show does. Well, you can't win them all.... OH WAIT YOU CAN! Because this adaptation of a TV Show SWEPT the Tony Awards. Well, I guess we'll have to see what Andrew thought.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Cheese Wheel! Your hosts, Andrew DeWolf, Jess McAnally, and Liz Esten, are kicking things off with a deep dive into a true cult classic: Doug Walker's cinematic opus, Kickassia. This 2010 parody film, brought to life by the Nostalgia Critic and his team, follows their outlandish attempt to take over the one-acre nation of Molossia and transform it into the absurdly named Kickassia. For Andrew, Jess, and Liz, Kickassia isn't just a movie—it's a nostalgic landmark that defined an era of online content and fandom. In this episode, they'll reminisce about what made this chaotic, no-budget spectacle so special to them, dissect the film's unique brand of humor, and explore why Kickassia still holds a special place in the hearts of fans years later, despite a lot of the creators being less then good people. Join us on this wild ride down memory lane as we launch The Cheese Wheel and celebrate the madness that is Kickassia. We can't wait for you to hear it! Join our Patreon

Speaking of reviving something from years ago, this week we're diving back into the world of Hatchetfield to talk about StarKid's new revival of "The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals." Specifically, we're going to talk about how theater can adapt and change over the years, and how Starkid Fans can go crazy of minute changes to a performance to fine tune a tone because "it's not identical to the one I watched a buttzillion times." Lets dive in kids!
