  • 9. Gerard Butler and Love Never Dying
    After the worldwide popularity of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, a film version was inevitable. But the sequel? That's another story entirely. Today we'll get into what the casting of Gerard Butler and the collaboration of Joel Schumacher meant for the movie, and how Lloyd Webber entered into a Freudian battle with his past self to create "Love Never Dies."

  • 8. Robert Englund, Julian Sands, and Genre
    In the 1980s and 90s, horror was big money, so perhaps it was inevitable that multiple adaptations would crop up to take advantage of the trend. But the Dwight Little and Dario Argento Phantoms, played by Robert Englund and Julian Sands respectively, took the character in two new, and very different, directions. Today we'll explore the horror versions of our beloved Phantom, as sex and death become the focus. Please subscribe, rate, review, and tell your friends.

  • 7. Parallel Evolution: Yeston/Kopit and Song at Midnight
    Despite the fact the Lloyd Webber musical's popularity would dominate Phantom fandom for the rest of time, other strains of the story were still percolating. Today we're looking at two directions the story was taken in on opposite sides of the world: into family melodrama by Arthur Kopit and Maury Yeston, and into a romantic revolutionary tale in China by Ma-Xu Weibang in Song at Midnight.

  • 6. ALW Continued -- Fallout and Phandom
    The Lloyd Webber musical was so big, we needed two episodes to cover it! Here we dissect a few reasons why it affected people so deeply, and look at some of the consequences of that popularity: more works based on the story, an active fandom rising with the coming of the internet, and what I see as a complete shift in our relationship with the title character.

  • 5. Andrew Lloyd Webber and the Mainstreaming of the Musical
    In 1986, a musical hit London. Two years later, Broadway also succumbed. And the Phantom would never be the same. In this and the next episode, we talk about the inspiration for the megamusical version of Phantom, and also begin to unpack the effect this had on audiences as well as subsequent versions. Namely, the transition from horror to romance.
