Published 10 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
In this episode, Father Malone and HP dive into the listener-chosen musical, *Little Shop of Horrors*. They explore its origins from the 1960 Roger Corman film to the 1982 off-Broadway musical by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, and its 1986 big-budget film adaptation directed by Frank Oz. They discuss the standout performances by Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, and Steve Martin, as well as the innovative puppetry that brought the plant Audrey II to life. The hosts also delve into the original darker ending that was replaced after negative test screenings and compare it to the theatrical ending.
