In the inaugural episode of Newsies Minute, James and Erin discuss what listeners can expect from the show.

Minute 0, Intro: Soak 'Em for Crutchy!

Max Casella and his Classic New York Accent set the scene for the movie we are about to watch. It takes exactly one minute.

Minute 1: Hey Kids! Here's the Accent You'll Be Listening to for Two Hours!

Minute 2: Blood Drips (Heavily?) on Newsie Square

Klopman wakes the newsies, a bit aggressively. But maybe they like it?

Minute 3: Wake Up Call!

Crutchy needs to find a new place where they ain't used to seein' him; his friends offer some questionable suggestions.

Minute 4: Don't Try Bottle Alley; You'll Get Murdered

Erin and James recall a verse that...doesn't actually exist.

Minute 5: The Invisible Verse

Have James and Erin watched any horror movies made by teens lately? Can Christian Bale dance? What exactly are Harlem and Delancey?  And hey. Who are those nuns?

Minute 6: Right Nun and Other Grate Roles

In this episode, we discuss Patrick and his Mom, Mush's best angle, and what certain Leaders of the Free World (and other more fictional blowhards) would find to like about this movie.

Minute 7: Fixing Newsies

John Doe

In this episode, we discuss a newspaper that wasn't the World (and it wasn't the Journal too!) and then we get into the careers of the movie's most fraternal villains!

Minute 8: John Doe and the Loop Group Kid

In this minute, Jack proves he needs someone with a little more smarts to tell him what to say. And quicker than you can say "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?", he finds one. Also, the 90's had some weird, niche movies.

Minute 9: Zoe, David, Jack, and Les

In 1992, the lots of Disney studios echoed with the voices of Newsies. Peddlin' the songs of Alan Menken, Jack Feldman, and other giants of the movie musical world. On every corner, you saw 'em carryin' the banner, bringing you the news one song at a time. Poor dancers and singers, the newsies were an athletic army, without a leader, except for Kenny Ortega, the director, who also was totally their leader. Until one day, none of that changed, except that the movie was done and you could go watch it.And now, we're here to talk to you about it.

We&#39;re still early into the film but so far this podcast has everytuI love: Erin, James, early 90s Disney movie musicals, a good balance of history and humor...

Actually truth time? I don&#39;t really LOVE the film Newsies (and don&#39;t even know if I&#39;d go so far as to say I *like* it) but Erin and James give good podcast and make everything better. E V E R Y T H I N G

Five stars &#39;em for Crutchie!

Loving It

The fabulous hosts of Unabashedly Obsessed are back! I love listening to them break down one of the best musicals of all time! Try it! You’ll like it!

Extra! Extra!

Newsies Minute

In this episode, we set out to answer two questions: What's a union? and Who's singing that lullabye? But then we run into other questions. Like Has Jack seen Sarah before meeting her as David's sister? and Where did David learn so much about unions? The answers to these questions and more in today's episode of NEWSIES MINUTE

Minute 27: Newsies 2: Sarah's Dirty Laundry

Jack tricks...David and Les. David talks too loud. Medda is in a building with a very out-of-date sign. And we play some more FMK!

Minute 19: You Never Can Tell With This Children's Movie

Smokey Ortega

Today, we're going to party like it's Minute 99. In this episode, the camera focuses on some symbolism ( Symbolism...), the Delanceys waste some time, Jack uses his head, Les acts like a real tough guy, and we discuss a very memorable twitter interaction

Minute 99: Smokey Ortega vs Bystander Jacobs

That wolf at your door is a legit Disney villain—he probably steeples his fingers a lot. Kid Blink makes Medda a little noivous. Everyone knows the song.

Minute 74: Anyway, Here’s High Times, Hard Times

In this episode, James makes a Biblical connection and then acts it out, then he does some math, then wha--NO SHUT UP! NO YOU SHUT UP AND LISTEN! YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND LISTEN TO ME!!!!

Minute 87: Yes Please! What Friends?

Kevin Smets

After we recorded the minutes with Ten Pin in them, James realized that he wanted to see if Kevin Smets was on Twitter. And it turned out he is! And we asked him if he would let us ask him some questions about Newsies and it turned out he said that would be something he would do! So that's what this is and he was amazing. We say it several times in the episode, but he just came out of the gate with great stories and perspectives on things.Not only did Kevin give us a great interview, he sent us some links to the Schmoedown stuff we talk about at the end. "First link is the promo for my San Diego match - linked in my personal YouTube -https://youtu.be/eyrELJV56zIThen here is the event - https://youtu.be/mcjowK3IA7QAnd this match here happened earlier this year (I’m not in it but it’s considered one of the greatest of all time)https://youtu.be/V0JbcQAX7PU"

Kevin Smets Interview!

Some folks play nice. Some folks don't. Some folks are possibly red-headed twins? And some folks are sending their costars in to talk to the director about approving their acting choices. But all folks can agree: Soak em for Crutchie.

Minute 10: Canadian Christian Bale

Marty Belafsky

James laughs VERY HARD. David is a wet blanket. Erin has QUESTIONS. Crutchy is the best.

Minute 54: Marty Belafsky, MVP

In this episode we discuss Christian Bale's secret reasons for breaking Pointy's stick, cast Pointy, unlock the secret directions to make the Newsies united in their facial expressions, and James does more "accents".

Minute 38: Newsie Face

Boy, a lot of Newsies have been on Round House. We get a geography lesson, and discuss which newsie is probably gay but doesn’t feel like he can be open about that because 1899 was not exactly cool with sexuality at all, but especially not if it wasn’t between a man and a woman, with the lights off, expressly for procreative purposes.

Minute 41: Poor Armpit Kid

We learn about movies, and cigars. Will Smith is The Greatest Rapper of All Time (and is cooler than Erin). Erin and James officially lose the plot of the podcast around the 18 minute mark.

Minute 62: Soak Those Tables

What is the geography of the area around the World distribution center? James gets extremely frustrated with Boots. A cart is literally put before a horse.

Minute 103: "Teddy, I Need to Borrow a Horse."

In this episode, reprise or reprise? Ogle or ogle? A continuity error, Seitz needs to give up his villainous ways because they're making him say buckwild things, Jack has options, Can criminals wear hats?, Jack says the realest teen thing, David gives in too easily, and finally a good transition into Jack's cell. Why is he alone? Where's his bed? Oh, there it is.

Minute 89: Mush or Smoosh

WARNING: This episode may result in you either learning something or having your mind blown by an amazing coincidence. You have been warned. We also revisit a "Why did they say that?" from a previous minute, this time with the line actually being something that appears in the movie. And backflips abound!

Minute 39: Noivous as Mud

In this episode, we discuss how to draw an R, how GREAT THIS SONG IS AS IT ENDS, how cute Bill Pullman is, and a potential Disney crossover.

Minute 40: Mary Poppins, Union Buster

Most of this episode is dedicated to The Mayor, The Chief of Police, and the actors that portrayed them. We also continue to ship Pultizer and Seitz. This episode is a ride.

Minute 70: Medieval Fleshpots

In this episode, we figure out who carries whom, Erin wins a math thing, Racetrack has a catchphrase(?), we consider some Newsies Minute merch, who is Papa Seitz disgruntled with?, The Decimator messes up a name and Kenny Ortega doesn't call cut, then he takes a swing at a joke and does it bad, and Jack aims for Max(casella)10 swagger

Minute 107: Max(Casella)10

We spend a lot of time—too much time, if we’re being honest—discussing 1899’s beverage options. The props department makes a mistake. James is sad.

Minute 64: Coke?
