It's time for another jukebox musical. It's Sing the 2016 animated family comedy from the studio that brought you a bunch of minion backpacks. 5 time SNL host Scarlett Johansson voices a porcupine but we also get SNL cast members Jay Pharoah, Beck Bennett, Leslie Jones and Laraine Newman as various creatures. This movie is a mess. First thing wrong here, the fact that the characters are animals has nothing to do with anything. These characters could be human and nothing would change or you could switch out their species and nothing would change. The second thing wrong here, everything else. Enjoy!

153: "Marconi Plays The Mamba" - Rock Of Ages (2012)
Well, we got 6 minutes into Thomas And The Magic Railroad and were thoroughly perplexed so we switched to our backup Alec Baldwin film Rock Of Ages. This jukebox musical features your favorite songs from the 80s done in a musical theater style. You know, to make them shitty. Tom Cruise gives a terrific performance while Baldwin doesn't seem to want to be there and why didn't they let Giamatti croon?

152: "That's A Pretty Big Leap, Joe Mantegna" - Mazes And Monsters (1982)
5 time host Tom Hanks is the name we picked out of the hat and we went back to the beginning with a TV movie from 1982 called Mazes And Monsters. Hanks stars as a college kid with an unhealthy obsession with a Dungeons & Dragons style game. Things get a bit nerdy as Ben shows off his D&D knowledge and George discusses his love for Criminal Minds. Also George figures out why he's not good at role playing games. Enjoy!
