Apres Culture

This week we’re talking musicals with pal Elyse Peterson, from 1952’s classic Singin’ in the Rain to the CW’s devastating gem Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. We argue over that weird interlude with Cyd Charisse, invoke the Reynolds-Fisher family saga for the second time this season (for a fuller discussion/explanation, check out episode 22, Postcards from the Edge and You’re the Worst), debate the attractiveness of Greg Serrano, and praise the spiky but deceptively layered relationship between Rebecca and Valencia (which is indeed the home of Six Flags Magic Mountain—and that guy who played the werewolf in Twilight!). Pull up a chair and wish that Donald O’Connor was here to make pulling up a chair really hilarious—it’s time for Après Culture. Spiked Boba Teas Buy a boba tea drink from your local boba tea shop.
