Paul and Corey Cross the Streams is a bi-monthly podcast in which hosts Paul Pakler and Corey Pepper watch and review streaming content. It’s the Great American Podcast where two friends learn about life as they float down the river of streaming services.
Let’s put on a show! It’s season 8 for Paul and Corey Cross the Streams, and this season we’re watching musicals. It’s a singular art form with a dynamic history, and we get to listen to a lot of cast recordings…
This week, Corey had planned on discussing Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (2017), but at about 32 minutes into their respective watches, Paul and Corey decided they couldn’t do it. They called an audible and agreed to instead watch Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (1991). They do explain what their objections were for the 2017 film at the top of the episode.
But with that out of the way, wow! What a great animated feature! The music! The colors! The performances! Even hard-hearted Paul had to admit that this is a lovely film that showcases the achievements of the artists who made the Disney Renaissance – most especially the team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken.
This Episode’s Focus: Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Host’s Choice: Corey Pepper

Corey’s Recipe Recommendations for This Episode: Classic Crunch French Baguettes and The Perfect Cup of Tea (British Style)
