About this episode
Kevin and Jenna are back with another musical deep dive - this time it’s 2007’s Hairspray! And the Glee connections are everywhere: Adam Shankman’s direction, Zach Woodlee’s choreography, and even songs later covered on Glee.
They break down the stacked cast - John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Queen Latifah, Zac Efron, and more - plus Jenna’s surprising 180 from not remembering she liked the movie to having the time of her life on rewatch. Kevin also shares his personal connection to Elijah Kelley, and the duo plays a behind-the-scenes voice note from their friend JP, who danced in the film and reveals what it was like shooting “You Can’t Stop the Beat” for weeks on end.
