They also talk about the deaths of Stephen Sondheim and Antony Sher, new details about the split between Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, and the news that The AV Club will soon be forced to move to L.A. from its longtime home of Chicago. 00:00:00 - 00:22:45 - Intro & News 00:22:46 - 00:55:14 - Emily & Ed discuss musicians acting in film 00:55:15 - 01:01:05 - SRS Recommends & Outro - Link to the FastPass episode of Defunctland, as recommend by Emily
