I found this podcast long after Smash was cancelled, and now I am reliving the series by listening to each of these episodes. Thanks!
Hey guys! First I wanted to say you all are my favorite afterbuzz show, hands down. You have really interesting conversations about the show, you have good insights on the characters, and I think you have fairly balanced opinions. I look forward to hearing your podcast as much as I look forward to watching the show. Keep up the great work!
On the show side of things, I like that we finally saw some regret in Karen this week. She obviously doesn't fully regret leaving Bombshell to be with Jimmy... more
Hey team: I think you guys have some valid points but the four things that we disagree about are 1. Ivy and her mom. She is trying to get her own career and "mommy" coming in to be in the show completely makes it seem that Ivy can't do anything without her name. Not to mention she was publicly FIRED as Marilyn before. Best decision for the show, bad decision for Ivy career wise.
2. Original is what Broadway calls the I want song. Every musical has one where the protagonist shares with the audi... more
It's a nice way to improve our English while listening to people talking wittily about our favorite TV shows
I don't understand why I why I NEED them to be together so much. So much of what happened in the past makes me dislike Derek, and yet… I am obsessed with the notion of them ending up together (or at least making out). Perhaps this is just my own personal bias (and the type of person that I tend to be attracted to). I just feel like he really cares about her. He does not show this is good ways that often, so I understand those who don't see it. They have such scintillating chemistry. I don't know... more
I enjoy the Smash After-Show Podcast, and I'm glad you guys are honest about the frustrations you see with the show in its current state. I wanted to lay out what I think are the essential problems of this season:
1) It seems that Smash, as good as it can be and no matter who the showrunner is, seems to pick one glaring "implausible" plot point each of its two season. Last season it was that Karen was inexplicably better than Ivy at being Marilyn. This season it's the strange unknown quality th... more
In your show about S2 Episode 6 you talked about Ivy being competetive with Karen in Bombshell because the situation called for it... It also comes to mind that Ivy has always been competing with her Mother. She wants to be judged on her talent but is always competing with being a famous star's daughter..
Guys keep in mind that Jimmy and Karen are still in their 20's they are still growing up. Both new to the scene, and Derek with his power play made me kinda mad wanting to say "doesn't Karen get to have a say in this!!" I feel like Karen/Derek can be/will be so destructive. They are good as partners karen/derek but anything more might just be too destructive, Jimmy and karen are at more the same pace. Yes Jimmy has his fits but its b/c he's passionate and emotionally entangled.
I listen to all the related afterbuzz for my fav shows...so here's something I wonder if you've discussed...at the end of season 1 Karen was "sick" and throwing up...do you think the writers were leaving a door open to her being pregnant after the affair, but when the story line was dropped, it wasn't mentioned again? just wondering if you all picked up on that...
good show girls team j-hud
I wasn't the only one who had problems with the latest podcast, right? The sound kept cutting out, and (it says this below) the sound coming from the earbuds switched from left to right. It was really quite annoying. I'm just hoping that nothing's wrong with my iPod!
Great podcast, though. I love the creative insights you give.
Great banter and knowledge of musicals in the real world. Not to catty. (Team Karen vs Team Ivy)
But, On the last episode for the shows season 1 finale. The sound mix was annoying. The left side kept going in and out. I even changed headsets. I gave up and listened into only in right ear.
I haven't been able to keep up with Smash, but I am keeping up with this podcast. I love how well thought out this podcast is.
Thanks!
I was inspired to watch Smash after finding the afterbuzz show. I kind of forgot about that this show was coming! I look forward to watching the show and then listening to the aftershow right after. I live the commentary and I hope the writers are listening because Smash could be amazing with a few tweaks.
I subscribe to at least half a dozen Afterbuzz podcasts. Listening really helps make my workday buzz by!
I appreciate all the intelligent conversation but on the Smash podcast I get the impression the podcasters aren't big fans. It's such a fun show and there has to be a suspension of reality. Of course these people wouldn't burst into song or work through their problems as quickly as is portrayed. I think the insiders view of the podcasters may have some bearing on how they view the show.
