    tick, tick...BOOM! with Lisa Gilroy

    The fans have spoken, and Beth and Sarah have answered several months later. The incredibly funny Lisa Gilroy (Fairview on Comedy Central, size 8 feet) joins Sarah and Beth to talk about Lin Manuel Miranda's film adaptation of Jonathan Larson's musical, Tick, Tick... Boom! Despite being obsessed with the musical OLIVER! as a kid, Lisa is NOT a musical theater fan and once had a very traumatic experience auditioning for a musical at her high school. Lisa describes watching TTB without any prior Jonathan Larson knowledge and being shocked to find out he died. Sarah beats Beth fair and square in a trivia game (trigger warning/spoiler alert: Beth incorrectly says that Sondheim wrote Falsettos. Don't freak out.). -- SHOW INFORMATION Instagram: @EverythingIsRent Twitter: @Everything_Rent Email: EverythingIsRentPod@gmail.com Subscribe: Apple Podcasts| Subscribe: Spotify

    25 Years of Rent with Lauren Ashley Smith and Mariah Smith

    Sarah and Beth measure (approximately) a year since their last episode with Lauren Ashley Smith and Mariah Smith (A Black Lady Sketch Show, Smith Sisters Live), who have both seen Rent upwards of 50 TIMES. They recap highlights from New York Theater Workshop's 25th Anniversary RENT Retrospective and prepare for a new investigative podcast to uncover why Jesse L. Martin wasn't part of it! Lauren and Mariah tell the story of their uncle (Jacques C. Smith) replacing Taye Diggs as Benny on Broadway and explain what supplies you need to camp out for theater tickets. Tune in for the Rent talk, stay for the National Forensics League digression. -- SHOW INFORMATION Instagram: @EverythingIsRent Twitter: @Everything_Rent Email: EverythingIsRentPod@gmail.com Subscribe: Apple Podcasts| Subscribe: Spotify

    Rent 2008 Broadway Performance with Caitlin Bitzegaio

    Grab some WINE AND BEER (but only if you already have it at home), watch the Rent 2008 Broadway live recording on Youtube, and then listen to Sarah and Beth break it down with their hilarious friend and fellow Rent-lover, Caitlin Bitzegaio (We Stan Together). They discuss the newfound resonance of the musical, the applause problem plaguing New York theater and, guess what, it's the return of mid-2000s improv talk! Plus lots of talk about Head of the Class, The Good Fight, and Grey's Anatomy -- you'll never guess who's still alive and who's dead! -- SHOW INFORMATION Instagram: @EverythingIsRent Twitter: @Everything_Rent Email: EverythingIsRentPod@gmail.com Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Subscribe: Spotify

    A bunch of new and old guests (Corey Johnson, Santina Muha, Zeke Nicholson, Dan Black, Andrew Hansen, Jake Regal, Cedric Yarbrough, Kat Palardy, and Lauren Holt) join Beth, Sarah, and honorary co-host, Mark David Christenson as they re-listen to the entire 1996 Rent Original Broadway Cast Recording and revisit classic Rent topics like the lyric "think twice before you poo poo it" and how much rent is too much rent to pay in Silverlake. And that's the conclusion of Everything is Rent... for now! Thank you, Jonathan Larson. -- SHOW INFORMATION Instagram: @EverythingIsRent Twitter: @Everything_Rent Email: EverythingIsRentPod@gmail.com Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Subscribe: Spotify

    Rent: The Movie with Doug Benson

    The time has come: Sarah and Beth got together to watch the 2005 film adaptation of Rent. And who better to talk about it with than the ultimate movie fan and comedy hero, Doug Benson (Doug Loves Movies)! Doug also loves Broadway musicals and he accurately describes the main objectives of the Rent characters: they just want a place to write songs and burn things. There is much discussion of Sarah Silverman's cameo in the movie, the choice to change lyrics into spoken dialogue, Chris Columbus' name, and, of course, Showtime vs. HBO. Doug also tells the story of the time Ray Walston asked Doug to goose him, Beth reveals juicy Anne Hathaway goss, and Sarah dishes on her long-standing Mush crush. Do Doug, Sarah and Beth like the movie? Hate it? Feel a third way about it? Listen to find out! -- SHOW INFORMATION Instagram: @EverythingIsRent Twitter: @Everything_Rent Email: EverythingIsRentPod@gmail.com Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Subscribe: Spotify
