Originally Broadcast 2021/12/10: We're reviewing Season 2 next episode, so you should catch up on the first season before we dive in!
What is the meaning of true love? Schmigadoon! explores the answer through the absurd story tropes, and casual racism of American musicals. When emotions are so strong you can't speak, you sing. When you can't sing, you dance. And the blonde heiress is totally a Nazi.
Vinnk and Sean review this Lorne Michaels production, which other (possibly better) musical-inspired series it reminds them of, and determine if this incredibly meta show has real heart, or is more like the musicals it lovingly skewers.
