Hey! Well....um...haha here's the recording of the livestream that we did to cover the last couple seconds of the movie and the end credits. There are so many topics covered. Who wrote the lyrics? What of ceiling fans? Is there any fanfiction that Erin (who claims she didn't write it) could read on the air, what did we get each other for Christmas, an FMK, and like 3 announcements of things that are either well-established or even over by now. So....yeah! We had a great time on this show. Don't stop telling your Newsies loving friends about it! We love new listeners!

Why is this audio file so long? The time from the last word of the statement to the last second of the track totals 8 minutes and 46 seconds. 8 minutes and 46 seconds doesn't sound like a long time until you are confronted with just how long it can drag on. 8 minutes and 46 seconds is how long it took to end George Floyd's life [https://www.8m46s.com]. At the Scavengers Network, we support the nationwide protests against police brutality; because Black Lives Matter. It is not enough to simply be “not racist”. You must be anti-racist.

"Wait," you say. "I though Newsies Minute was over! They finished the movie! They did a whole livestream about it!" Well, that's true. But we weren't *entirely* done. We had one more interview to do. We got the chance to sit down with Michael John Hughes, who plays Romeo and Spot in the Arena Stage production of Newsies: The Musical: The Stage Version, and have a really interesting conversation about what it's like to come into the Newsies fandom from the other direction. Michael John is a lovely person and it was a really fun interview, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

In this, the final minute of the podcast proper (join us tomorrow night for the livestream where we'll cover the rest!), James's voice sounds like absolute trash. Pointy Pokey takes Jack's stuff back to the Boarding House, maybe?, Jack sees Skittery, David is a Newsie now (you can tell by the hat), Crutchie misunderstands, Sarah gets some, An Erin Mystery is Solved, and the process of what happens when a Newsie kisses someone is finally explained, James ruins the whole podcast and then he makes the same joke as he did in Minute 108, and finally, we discuss credits (actually weirdly opening credits) and specifically James Bond credits, and then we talk about Hunchback of Notre Dame, which James claims to have not seen, and he hadn't when we recorded, but now he has seen it (he did a newsletter about it for December on the Patreon!)

A few months ago, we had the amazing opportunity to sit down with Michael Goorjian, who played Skittery in Newsies, and pick his brain about hanging out on set, creating character backstory, and making movies that aren't Newsies...technically. The audio on this one is a little bit rough, but the conversation is worth it. Thank you so, so much to Michael for taking the time to chat with us, and to our friend Katy for knowing that he's on Twitter and suggesting we reach out.

Jack gets out of a carriage. David is really a newsie now. Spoilers for M*A*S*H and season 1 of The Good Place.

The Jacobses are BEREFT. H.H. Holmes is NOT in this movie. Kid Blink is Skittery. Crutchy is Jack. What is happening.

Some guys in the background are evil! We learn a thing about something we’ve assumed to be true all along. Mush(?) carries around Jack’s stuff.

Crutchy gets out on his own. James spoils a very old Simpsons episode, and then confuses a joke. We’ve been operating under a false assumption for months.

Not a lot going on in this minute, everyone. There’s a crowd. It’s cheering. Denton does Jack a concern. We explore an alternate universe where Bill Pullman is acting better than we realize in most of his movies. Ten Pin returns! (Probably.)
