Sad you aren't gonna be watching Nightmare Time : /

The most important Nightmare Time story is Abstinence Camp, if you watch any NT before Nerdy Prudes Must Die, it should be that one.

I don't have a list, but I'm sure you could get someone to let you know which of the stories are relevant for Nightmare Time. That way you wouldn't have to watch all of NT but could still get all the references and important lore. Also, LOVE Holy Musical B@man, very happy to see you react to it!

Elf the Musical is the only show I have ever walked out of, left at the interval! Hope you enjoy it more than I did😂

"But I don't speak MTV" Ahhhh, the meta. The line never got as big a cheer as it did the night of the MTV taping (probably)

The part where she just hangs out in a frozen pelvic thrust... crazy

What a wild dance!!!

I think they said in the MTV special that they had to do 500 skips to warm up each day to prepare I've seen the show a few times and once someone did trip on their rope. What impressed me more was that they were back skipping and back in time almost immediately

You know how I said you weren’t ready for a later dance? Yeah… this be it. Dude they must have been absolutely buggered by the end of a show.

this was probably the hardest number I've ever done on stage as ensemble , gave me so much stamina though ahaha also I love that this is the second musical I've done that you react to ;) (I also did Heathers) Awesome reactions !!!

My favorite StarKid show!

I always took "new" to mean original musicals as opposed to musicals adapted from previous material- Adaptations are incredibly popular, especially in America after 9/11 (this is true!), so 'new' is both a marketing ploy and tells the audience that it isn't another adaptation.

2:33 I will not hear hatred against my precious Chihuahuas!!! they can be horribly bratty when not raised properly but so can poodles. Well-trained Chis are a delight and a treasure and are some of the most loving and loyal dogs I've ever met <3

They were actually allowed to use the joker, same as all the others, because they weren't selling tickets to the show and weren't making money off it, so copyright wasn't an issue. The Langs killed the joker off because their approach to writing characters was to put a twist on them, and their idea for the joker was to make him unfunny, and then they said "about the least funny thing you could do to a character is to make them unfunny", and replaced him with someone they could easily write jokes for, and who was as ridiculous as possible (which is why they thought it was so funny that there was already a sweet tooth in the batman lore) TLDR; parodying the joker is hard in a comedy show

Wicked....a story that didn't need to be written.

HMB is such a fun show, despite the racism in it. I just cringe and pretend I do not see it.

1:00:39 absolutely. My favorite song of the show and one of my all time favorite Starkid songs. I’d recommend doing the Black Friday song rankings, keep reacting to other Starkid shows while watching nightmare time on your own time, then doing nerdy prudes once you’ve finished NMT.

please tell me you're watching this in full after legally blonde im in my knees sir

Ehh ur kinda reading and talking to chat over too much dialogue actually i might haveta skip this xD im in 20 mins in and youve missed like most of the earliest jokes

You should definitely watch the 2021 movie, Cyrano if you want to hear more of Peter Dinklage singing, cause he's the lead in that

Wicked isn’t even the perfect musical and the movie even less so in my opinion. I only like two songs in the whole thing and hate the story. That’s me though. Art is subjective so if you like it then power to you.

The usual star sign depends on you birth month (that's the normal sun one). Then you also have a sign depending on the exact time of day you are born(moon and/or rising?). Actually, you have star signs for every planet ("moving star") in our solar system, i think, + earth's moon. I'm no expert tho. I just know that normal, moon and rising/ascendant are the usual star-sign-trinity and that a full star chart looks like some demonic summoning basis.

The book is much darker by the way. Galinda, Boq and the Wizard all suck in the book hahaha 😂

“I’m Not That Girl” is my favorite song of the show. It’s so relatable. Who has never been in love with someone who was with someone else? And I love ballads. And I love when songs end on a low note as well. That song has everything I want. And as a musician, this song doesn’t resolve. It ends on a the fifth (E)

Hey Fraser so John M Chu spoke in an interview about why the movie doesn’t end on a blackout in his words “in a musical you can suspend your belief and start act 2 somewhere else from where you finished act one but in a movie you can’t, so I had to decide did I want to open part 2 with the direct aftermath of defying gravity or do I let it continue so that I have a smoother transition into part 2”

erm second

6:57 I don't think he realised what he just did there 🙃

I’m pretty sure Brian Holden (Superman) was also a writer on many projects, particularly the early ones (the Potter shows in particular? I’ll check later). I don’t think people have mentioned him in comments yet somehow.

I’m just saying…. You really need to react to epic the musical via the animatics !!

There's a great anecdote floating around online, and maybe even a video out there somewhere, about how during one performance Laura Bell Bundy lost her shoe doing that kick on "not begun to fight".

In America if you say ‘a Nintendo’ its pretty much assumed to be just a nintendo console in general(mainly a DS or Wii), whatever you can get your hands on. it’s just a cultural thing

I went and saw heathers 3 weeks ago at tq. X was awesome x

Goes wrong show is also on youtube to watch free with ads if u arent from the uk and dont have access to bbciplayer

One time the starkid Band "Jim and the Povolos" played in my home town and I got a picture with jeff and his trumpet.

Apparently Sweet Tooth is an actual Batman villain from some old tv show. Also I believe Jeff used to talk in candy puns a lot backstage so he could remember what candys where in which pocket

Another funfact. Everyone says that dylan saunders looks like Sean Astin (Samwise from LOTR). And starkid was at a convention that Sean was at and Dylan couldnt come to the panel. So Sean sat in for Dylan and just pretended to be him even tho he had no idea what he was talking about. Good fun.

Holy musical batman and twisted both sort of live in a bridge between "old school" and "new school" starkid. They are good fun, and not all of it has aged well but slightly higher quality than their early stuff.

Just marathon thru nightmare time personally on your own time. We dont need a reaction. I think your cheatsheet is fine. No worries.

the tinsel being wiggly's tentacles is so cool

Not sure if you found the reasoning for Joker by now, but the issue I believe was that it's difficult to make a PARODY of Joker, since he's so unhinged already and with their style of humor they'd just make... the usual Joker? Which would be tricky with the copyright counting on the Parody reasoning. So they opted to make their own main villain insead,

Absolutely my favourite song!🤩I had the same reaction to the proposal part LOL i was fuming

The song that pumps me up to think i can achieve what I want to achieve ❤

This song is great❤Laura Bell Bundy is amazing! Loving the reactions and can't wait for the next one!!

If you want something suitable for the holidays, there is VHS Christmas Carol. They also did a "newer" version called VHS Christmas Carols (some cast changes, 2 more stories, more songs, and some added or altered details), but it is only available for a limited time with no set date that they may remove it. It could be fun to maybe stream and watch both, then compare or something. The music and references give the 80s vibes, so that is fun. Just a thought. By the way, I also suggest Firebringer as a good show to watch. It doesn't usually seem to get much love. That one is female-forward and, personally, I think is slightly underrated

Thank you for properly appreciating "does he want fruit or blood?" So many people seem to miss that live and it absolutely kills me every time.

bob-cut bitch had me crying, love to see your reactions to these songs and starkid!!

Fun reaction video! You did cheat yourself out of a really cool part at the end during curtain.

So much better is such a great act 1 finale song. Elle is one of the hardest rolls because she sings in like every song and is constantly on stage and every scene is so high energy. Major props to her for making it look easy.

i’m SO excited for you to watch the potter shows

THE song that motivated me through college and helped me realize I’m actually very good at what I do. Best song. Seriously, this’s how you celebrate yourself <3
