Family Guy: The King Is Dead

If you were ever looking for a cartoon that could touch on pretty much all of theater's tropiest tropes, look no further than Family Guy. This week we sip on Spice Professors' delicious golden starfruit tea (our first non-alcoholic beverage featured on the show. Also apparently we are loose leaf tea people now. Who would've thunk it?) and talk about all of the other amazing tea and spice treasures we found at the Bryant Park Winter Market. Then we enter stage right with the season two Family Guy episode "The King Is Dead", and tread the boards with Peter Griffin as he slowly turns Lois' production of The King and I into a weird mashup of Flashdance, Flash Gordon, and Dune.     

Om Podcasten

"Spirits and Chat with Jon and Matt" is a podcast hosted by real-life married couple Jonathan Emerson and Matthew Pohlman. Each week they watch an episode of a classic television show where a character is involved in a play (like the time Marge Simpson was in "Oh Streetcar!" or when Jackie Harris was an understudy to lead role in "Cyrano de Bergerac") and break down what the show got right and wrong about life in the theater.
