You're listening to the A Beautiful Must Podcast, your cozy comfort listen.

Today we are rewatching mama mia and mama mama mia here we go again starring Merrill Streep and Amanda Safread.

I I'm so excited I love these movies so like when my children were toddlers this was our ultimate comfort movie that we put on all the time and it was specifically here we go again we watched that one way more but we watch them both and it is so joyful like there's just

nothing else like it in cinema I will stand by that there's nothing else like

it's it's just you know it's there's only one Abba musical

musicals will always have a special place in my heart and this one in

particular is they're just like we're doing a musical yeah like they're like we don't care we're doing the musical and I'm like yeah and there's honestly a lot of people in these movies that I'd never I didn't know they had ever done a musical. I didn't know they sang and dance.

Right. We were watching it the other day and we we both said this looks like the most fun

you could ever have as an actor like it just looks so incredibly fun the dance numbers they have and just like there was like there was like there was like the

there was one we were watching where they were like there was like three or four boats full of people and there was like a dog full of people and it was like everyone was dancing and sink.

You're kind of on the beach all day dancing. I'm sure it's hot. I'm sure there's things that are not fun about it, but it looked pretty.

It was amazing.

It looks pretty fun, yeah.

Cool.

So it's a comfort rewatch from your girls toddlerhoods.

For me, I actually hadn't seen the movies before so but I'd seen the play

the mama mia play. I had a friend who is in like our local community theater it's called

Landers Theater, Springfield Little Theater, he was in it, and so me and a few friends went and saw him in it, and so I'd seen the play, so I knew, you know, I know the songs, I think you kind of know the songs, even if you've never seen the movie or the play like because they're very famous but I had never seen the movie and so they're just kept being people that I was like oh he's in this oh she's in this oh wow Merrill Streep's great in this.

I just was like odd as I was watching it by myself at night when I.

Yeah, it like just reminds you that every actor has a theater nerd living inside of them

It kind of does like cool like you know yeah, you're like oh this is like a serious

actor does all these like very serious roles and then all of a sudden they have like their shirt half unbuttoned and they're dancing and you're like okay yeah they're just a theater nerd I love it.
