Oh gosh. I didn't realize my turn was this soon. I'll have an answer later this afternoon for sure.

Technically, it was supposed to be EvRobert’s pick, but he hasn’t been a round for a bit so I thought I’d move straight to you. If he comes back, we can fold him back in.

If you've been following Musical Mondays, you'll find I've already told everyone my choice.

I guess my next pick will have to be Fame.

I wasn't even considering this until I threw out that dumb joke. Then I thought that would be kind of funny. So, we're watching Fame which I've never seen and I don't think is even a proper musical. But, whatever. We're watching Fame.

I watched the show a lot as a kid but never saw the movie either.

I know I've seen the movie at some point but only really remember the TV show.  We've finally completed the long list of Alan Parker movies.

Mission accomplished

This is a movie I always think I have seen and then realized I've just seen it referenced and parodied so much I just think I have seen it. 

[GrahamS. 803]

Never seen it. Looking forward to it!

Yeah, that's where I am. I get the feeling that I'm going to watch this and know everything that's going to happen from the first minute.

I found the theme song posted online.

 

[Cameron H. 23786]

Me too!

If we wanted to torture ourselves we could contrast/compare it with  the remake/reboot from 200and-something. I’m not endorsing this idea, just throwing it out there.

honestly, I doubt I’d make it through the remake.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I just got a visceral jolt of nostalgia

I had completely forgotten a remake existed. I've got a pretty busy week but I might try to fit it in.

They played this often on tv when I was a kid and I kind of loved it.  

My co-worker's kid auditioned to attend this high school a few months ago!  They started academic review for admission this month

It’s currently on sale on iTunes for 7.99 (2.99 to rent) so I went ahead and bought it. I’ve never seen it, but I have a feeling it’s going to kind of be my jam.

Would you say it's your Hot Lunch Jam?

We already watched High School Musical.

I’m doing my best to save my comments, but this movie is FUCKING BONKERS for a multitude of reasons, which I’ll get into tomorrow.
