Based on a sudsy, splashy 2018 Broadway musical, The Prom has been adapted for Netflix with big stars like Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Keegan Michael-Key and James Corden. But will the theater-people in-jokes land in your living room the way they did on Broadway?

Show Notes:

• What's making Aisha happy: Carly Rae Jepsen's single, "It's Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries"
• What's making Margaret happy: The campaign to get the made-up "Orbisculate" added to the dictionary
• What's making Mark happy: Dionne Warwick's Twitter presence
• What's making Glen happy: I Hate Suzie on HBO Max
