Hey, it's Bill Simmons. I have some good news for you. The hottest take. It's back. Oh, yeah. Monday through Thursday, four times a week, you heard from me. Chris Ryan, Sean Fantasy, Malloruban, Wazdy Lambray, Van Leith, and June Lipman.

Many other ringer staffers, you get one take, you got an defendant to death, sports takes, pop culture takes, food takes, airplane takes. Oh, yeah. It's coming back. First episode drops August 29th.

Oh, excuse me, synchronized lady dancing to a Mariah Carey chart topper is not lame. And neither is the rewatchables. This is pitch perfect.

Welcome to Barney University. You call yourself that Amy? Yeah, so it tweets like you don't do it behind my back.

We need eight perfect singers if we want to be champion.

It may not be perfect. You should be taking rest. But on September 28th, they'll pitch lap the competition.

Let's remix this business. I got a box. The money. We don't need your money. Money. Money. Money.

It's perfect. I'm also going to pirate dancing. Select Theater starts September 28th, really PG-13.

Welcome to the rewatchables. I'm Juliett Litman. I'm here today with my ringer dish colleagues Kate Hallowell and Jody Walker.

We are here on the 10th anniversary of the era defining or ear capping film pitch perfect. Jody, Kate, how would you define this movie's role in the last 25 years of the year?

25 years of movies and TV shows that feature music. Jody, you go first.

Wow, that's a very big question, Juliett. I mean, it's kind of more interesting, I think, to think of it as an era capping movie and then an era dwindling movie.

Because it came out after Glee, it came out after a show that is near and dear to my heart, The Singoff, which I will surely be bringing up later. A competitive acapella show hosted by Nick Lache.

So it kind of like hosted off the fame of those, but then just made them so much bigger and then just continued to reiterate itself in an increasingly failing way, which is unfortunate and disappointing.

But for me, pitch perfect is hugely the most defining musical that's not a musical movie.

I'm really glad you brought that up because I think that's like something crucial for us to dig into here at the top pitch perfect, not a musical.

Kate, can you think of another movie featuring music that's been as impactful and spawned so many sequels without actually being a musical?

It's hard to. It certainly is hard to.

But it I when I was looking up research for this, it did take the crown from school of rock as the highest grossing musical comedy.

And I guess that's another one where people not sequels so much, but like, you know, they made a play and they ever unions and that was a big thing for a long time.

But I would say in terms of like the era of let's say Glee to pitch perfect and then what followed.

I was a freshman in high school when Glee premiered I wasn't so fire and I was starting my senior year of show choir slash concert choir.
