Laverne has a fun catch-up sesh with her good friend Broadway supertalent Alex Newell. This year, Alex was one of the two gender nonconforming actors to ever win a Tony. They got theirs for their show-stopping performance as Lulu in the hit new musical Shucked. They walk Laverne through their rise to the Broadway stage, their unusual anatomy which plays a big role in their incredible voice, what’s next on their calendar, and most importantly, the crucial role The Fresh Prince of Bel Air had in their life.
ALEX NEWELL 2023 TONY AWARD ACCEPTANCE SPEECH TRANSCRIPT:
“ I'm not going to hold y'all because it's hot in here. I have wanted this my entire life. I thank each and every one of you in this room right now. And mommy, I love you. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for teaching me what strength is. To my entire building and cast and crew of Shucked, you are my rock. I love you all. Thank you for seeing me, Broadway. I should not be up here as a queer, non binary, fat, black, little baby from Massachusetts. To anyone that thinks that they can't do it, I'm going to look you dead in your face that you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to.”

Hello and welcome to another harmonious episode of Bad Dads Film Review! Dads, grab your air guitars, don your freshest 90s threads, and let’s explore the collision of music, movies, and some serious sitcom nostalgia.
Top 5: Musician Cameos in Movies: Have you ever been watching a movie and suddenly thought, "Wait, isn't that...?" Musicians popping up in our favorite films can be a delightful surprise. From David Bowie in "Zoolander" to Keith Richards in "Pirates of the Caribbean," we’ll rank and rave about the most memorable, unexpected, and downright hilarious musician cameos on the big screen. Plus, as Dads, we'll have a few personal stories up our sleeves about explaining to our kids who that “old guy” is playing Jack Sparrow's dad.
Movie of the Week: American Utopia: Directed by Spike Lee and featuring the eclectic David Byrne (yes, him again), "American Utopia" is a live Broadway adaptation of Byrne’s album and tour of the same name. We’ll dive into the visuals, the music, the raw energy, and the impactful themes interwoven throughout this stage-to-screen experience. From sociopolitical messages to heart-pounding choreography, we’ll dissect how "American Utopia" creates, well, its own version of Utopia for its audience.
Kids TV: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Now, this is a story all about how... we get nostalgic about one of the most iconic sitcoms of the 90s. We Dads will not only reminisce about our favorite Fresh Prince moments but also discuss the cultural impact the show had and the lessons it brought to the living rooms around the world. And as we recount the comedic genius of Will Smith and the charm of the Banks family, we’ll also touch upon the show’s deeper themes of identity, class, and familial bonds.
Whether you're in for the musical musings, stage spectacles, or just eager to do the Carlton dance, we've got you covered. Tune into Bad Dads Film Review, where every episode is a mixtape of cinematic insights and Dad-level humor. Time to drop the beat!
We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com.
Until next time, we remain...
