It’s such a joy to find something that hits you in all the right spots and to realize how it’s affecting you, isn’t it?

Kelly’s Not Making Any Excuses for The Lion King (2019)!
Either give me a shameless remake or something where the majority of elements are new- don’t half-ass it.
Kelly Likes Parts of Yesterday (2019)!
It doesn’t beat you over the head with how the songs came to be. You can just watch Paul McCartney’s Carpool Karaoke if you want that.
Kelly Loves Rocketman (2019)!
Dexter Fletcher, glad you saved all your tricks while recovering that other one. Rocketman really is something special.
Kelly (Is Surprised by How Much She) Likes Aladdin (2019)!
Aladdin felt much more like a new movie with an Easter Egg or quick reference than the “REMEMBER HOW GOOD THIS WAS!?” vibe of Beauty and the Beast.
Kelly Welcomes Mary Poppins Returns (2018)… but only for a brief stay.
See, I don’t automatically like all musicals! I just… automatically put them on my “I’m going to watch that” list.
Kelly Gagas Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)!
This movie didn’t quite sweep me up in the way Queen itself does, but I left feeling strangely satisfied and in awe of the scale of their success as well as deeply reminiscent of how much their music has endured.
John and Kelly React! Ansel Elgort in West Side Story, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and that Aquaman trailer!
In this latest edition of John and Kelly React! we discuss the casting of Ansel Elgort as Tony in Spielberg’s West Side Story remake, the new Spider-Verse trailer, and the extended Aquaman trailer!
Kelly Absolutely Loves West Side Story (1961).
The colors, the blocking, the tracking, the cutting, and the framing are just so well thought-out and in relation to the dancing and the music… ugh, it’s perfect. Shoot, am I crying again?
Kelly Loves Hans Zimmer, Likes Live in Prague (2017)!
Two hours and 30 minutes of soundtracks you probably know, played live by Hans and Friends, against a screen that looks like it’s playing the graphics from Ye Olde Windows Media Player.
