Summary
What better way to kick off 2026 than with a smashing good time!
Jenna and Kevin are taking a look back at the TV musical series, "Smash," often seen as Glee's "competition." They have plenty to say about the pilot episode! They compare their initial impressions of the show to their rewatch, the memories the audition scenes brought up for them, their thoughts on the original songs versus the covers, and what they thought was excellent about the show and what didn't quite work for them.
