The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story

In this episode, after way too many delays, the randomizer kicks off this year's Patreon Request Month by going all the way back to 2009 to pick E.J. Riley's request for a documentary about two legendary brothers who became Walt Disney's personal staff songwriters in the 1960s. Over the course of their illustrious decades-spanning careers, they composed such all-time classic beloved evergreen masterpieces as "Fidelity Feduciary Bank," "Let's Put It Over with Grover," "The Boomps Song" and of course "Detroit." But beneath those hummable earworms, all was not well for Richard and Robert, for theirs is a story that involves bitter personality clashes, familial estrangement, post-traumatic stress disorder and songs with titles like "Rutabega Rag," "The Ugly Bug Ball," "A Most Befuddling Thing," "Va-Va-Va-Veee (For Victory)," "Don't Shoot the Hooey to Me, Louie," "Protocoligorically Correct," "The BunnyBee Song," "Dolly Of PaPali," "Kiddy-Widdy-Winkies" and yes those song titles are all real.
