“When we were first developing this project, and kind of looking at who Charlie Nicoletti is; he owns a bar, he’s loyal to his family, but then he has this skill where he’s able to put on these characters and be so believable that he completely disappears.”

“And this role as Charlie gives him the opportunity to play all these people because he’s a con man, and you’re like: ‘Holy cow - is that Milo?’”

“Milo’s character Charlie is truly the apple of Leo’s eye; he believes in him, he believes that he’s smart enough to lead us.”

“The more I work on Emma, this question comes up for me a lot - ‘Can I trust you?’ It’s like when you’re falling in love, which I think everybody can relate to, it’s ‘Can I trust you with my heart?’ It’s great because I don’t have that at all with Milo; I know that I can trust him as my scene partner, as my executive producer.”

“Working with Milo as a producer has been amazing. He’s always trying to do everything he possibly can for everybody.”

“He is involved in casting, in writing, in editing - in everything.”

“In not in a way that even trumpets it, he’s just very generous spirited.”

“I wanted to work with him, and then when I heard he was also producer, I figured the show was going to be done with a lot of class and style.”

“Milo Ventimiglia, like the first thing he’s doing since This Is Us; you have to know that he’s got a great eye and he has a huge track record of success.”

“We’re able to work with people that we already have such a deep history with. We brought nearly my entire crew from This Is Us. We’ve looked out for one another for years and years, and so you’re not just working with co-workers, you’re working with your family, you’re working with your friends. Everything about it, it’s just - it’s fun.”

Watching this for the hundredth time, I saw a couple of things that I hadn't really noticed before. First, when Shredder lands in front of the turtles, he's smiling. Like, "You have no idea how bad this is gonna get. " Secondly, to go along with Shredder's display of power, without being told, waived off, or signaled by their master, his foot soldiers quietly leave the roof once he appears. It definitely adds to just how badass this version of Shredder was.

I finally watched VHS Christmas Carol Live last night, and I loved it! I wanted to give some initial thoughts:

The music SLAPS! Like, so good! I'm not usually much of an 80's pop person, but honestly it was bop after bop the whole time. Bah Humbug, That Scrooge, Christmas Electricity, and Priceless were all highlights for me. I think what sold it for me was how lyrically tight it was, and how strong the emotions were. Telling a story entirely through song is no easy feat, but they absolutely nailed the structure and pacing.

Speaking of the emotions, Christmas Carol has been adapted so many times, that it's really important to hit all the emotional beats to sell the spirit of the story, and VHS delivers. I feel like many adaptations go all in on the misery, regret, and sorrow of the story, and only really bring the cheer and warmth in at the very end. VHS really embraces not only the somber parts of the tale, but the joyful parts too. Fezziwig's Chistmas party, Fred's party, and the Crachit's family dinner all really portray the joyfullness of the season and how that joyfullness can come from many places. It really strengthens the message of the story in a way that adaptations focused only on the bleak aspects miss.

In terms of actual story decisions, VHS really sticks to the classic story very closely and does it really well. Actual story changes are few and far between, but the ones they included I really liked. I loved the addition of the couple who are thankful that Scrooge died because it relieves their debt. It really highlights that Crachit and his family are not the only people affected by Scrooge's greed. Many adaptations either like to forget he's a landlord, or don't unpack the ethics of landlords, so it was nice to see some sort of acknowledgment of Scrooge's less direct and more systemic impact. I also really liked how Scrooge delivered the turkey to the Crachit's in secret, and didn't give Bob his raise until after Christmas instead of barging in unannounced. I had never really thought about it before, but in most versions he does just kind of barge in on their celebration and make a big production of giving Bob a raise. I like how he let them have their celebration in peace and spent more time with Fred.

The performances were all killer. I know it kinda goes without saying at this point, but everyone in the cast in Starkid shows are always so talented. Special mention to James Tolbert, because I feel like he doesn't get enough recognition for what a talented actor, dancer, and choreographer (and director) he is. This was also my first time seeing Janaya Mahealani Jones in anything, and her Belle really blew me away. Other stand-outs for me were Dylan Saunders' Scrooge, Lauren Lopez and Joey Ritcher's Crachits, and Jaime Lyn Beatty's Ghost of Christmas Past, but really everyone knocked it out of the park.

June Saito's costumes! The 80s themeing was outstandingly executed, and the quick changes were really impressive. I've gotten used to the more realistic and toned down costumes that fit the Hatchetfield shows' setting (which are also fantastic, not trying to minimize those), but between this and the LiB's in NPMD, it's wonderful to see June Saito get to really go over the top. Special mention to Marley's costume (silver chain pants? silver chain pants!), the 3 spirit's silver and blue color themeing, and that sequined suit jacket Scrooge wears at the end of the show.

Overall, really good. Might pay for the VHS Carols digital ticket later today and watch it.

I just wanted to point out that the voice of William James Moriarty is also a singer AND rapper. He's in several idol series including as Kujo Tenn in Idolish7 and raps as Gentaro Yumeno, and did one of the theme songs for Katsugeki/Touken Rambu.

Oh, that I already knew. At least the part of him being a singer and a rapper. Sadly, I've never heard any of his work yet. I will say...the idea of William James Moriarty rapping is HILARIOUS in my head. XD
