Bye Bye Birdie (1995)
from The Conner & Smith Show · host Stephen Smith
Join Matt and me for Episode 136 as we take a look at Bye Bye Birdie (1995), the made-for-TV adaptation of the beloved stage musical. Featuring a standout cast including Jason Alexander, Vanessa Williams, Chynna Phillips, and Marc Kudisch, this version had all the ingredients for a great revival.While we appreciated the performances and some fun moments throughout, the film as a whole didn’t quite soar for us. We talk through what worked, what didn’t, and how this adaptation compares to other versions of Birdie on stage and screen.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan
