I watched the full length Movie Bitches review of "La La Land" today after listening to the HDTGM prequel episode. The Movie Bitches reminded me of this terrible Woody Allen movie that has plenty for the HDTGM team to discuss. The cast of non-singing actors doing musical numbers goes on & on: Julia Roberts, Goldie Hawn, Alan Alda, Natalie Portman, Gaby Hoffman, Natasha Lyonne, Edward Norton, Tim Roth. At least Drew Barrymore had the decency to demand a dub! Here's the clip sampled by the movie bitches...

Why this movie? Because Gene Wilder falls in love with a sheep in it, that's why. Is that not enough? Do you need another reason? It was also the 13th Highest Grossing film of 1972. Bitch.

Thanks for dissecting one of my favorite movies. Not only have I read the movie novelization, I own HALLOWEEN III action figures. Literally. Anyway, I also posted the following on your Facebook page: In BROADWAY DANNY ROSE, Woody Allen walks past a marquee of HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH. The sight couldn't look more out of place in a black-and-white Woody Allen film. Turns out, this scene was a sly hello to one of Woody's former flames: Stacey Nelkin (Ellie) from HALLOWEEN III. He dated Nelkin in the late seventies when she was in her late teens. Believe it or not, Stacey Nelkin was the inspiration for Margaux Hemingway's character in MANHATTAN, the one Woody regretfully breaks up with. I guess Ellie Grimbridge left a mark. I tried including a picture above (couldn't get it larger for some reason.) Just google HALLOWEEN III and BROADWAY DANNY ROSE for a better look. Keep up the great work. Next year get Paul Rudd on the show to explain how in HALLOWEEN 6 he manages to beat the living shit out of Michael Myers. No joke. J. Christopher Arrison P.S. Paul, I performed with you at Lance Bangs' "My Favorite Things" show in Portland a couple years back. My friend and I started the show with a long, disturbing prom story. Fun night.
