24. White Christmas (1955)

Merry Christmas from your Big White Elephant friends! To celebrate, we went back to 1955 with some of our old army buddies to fall in love, put on a show, and reminisce about the good old days of Minstrel Shows. Wait...that's not right! Anyway, we get into all that and more while discussing Michael Curtiz's White Christmas (1955)

23. Spirited (2022)

Who haunts the haunters? Can we ever really be redeemed for our sins? Does a movie musical work if the main characters are bad at singing? These questions and more are raised by Sean Anders's Spirited (2022) and on episode 23, Grace and Scott dig into all of it, including suggesting some new casting!
Plus, we talk about the hit new film Ella McCay, in theaters now

21. Moulin Rouge! (2001)

One woman dares to speak her mind and the pitchforks come out! After Grace's brave 1-star first time log of Moulin Rouge! on November 17th, her friends and community turned on her. Big White Elephants decided it was time get to the bottom of it. Is Baz Luhrmann's 2001 movie musical a brilliant post-modernist piece of maximalist romanticism with incredible production design and a love story for the ages or is it an insufferable over-edited slog of nonsense with cheap musical interpolations and singing voices of questionable quality? Maybe it's both!
