The men Hidgens lists in Show Stopping Number are canonically his boyfriends from college, where Chad was his favorite. This was officially confirmed in a live stream of the shirt film "Workin' Boys". 😊
I heard you say that Man In a Hurry doesn't have a name, but actually he does. In Nightmare Time 2 they reveal his name is Barry Swift. Obscure place to find out, but yeah that series is where you find out a lot about Hatchetfield characters.
1:54:54 She was 17 “before he left her,” which can be taken to mean “before he gave up on having custody of her,” minding that she asks if he knew she wanted to live with him. Any amount of what’s said _could be_ the alien lying, since it also claimed Deb was a “hardcore stoner” when the only time we see her alive, she reinforces that Alice doesn’t “have to” be a part of the smoke club if she doesn’t want to be. 2:02:07 He’s bending the rules, based on his beliefs in a “higher power than man.”
I wonder if Bill even fought for custody at all, given how passive he is. As for Deb, my (Jacob's) theory is that she herself is a "hardcore stoner" but doesn't mind if Alice isn't. After all, she only says she's out of the Smoke Club when given an ultimatum, and they had to both have been there for a reason. And if General McNamara didn't think there were an survivors, he wouldn't have needed to bend any rules in the first place.
they work in an office. i've worked in an office, and this is a very accurate portrayal. you would never answer someone else's phone (everyone has their own phone). and you do choose when you take breaks. there isn't a regimented schedule. you can leave whenever you want as long as you still get your work done in a timely manner.
I think Lauren’s character during “not your seed” is the other girl from the smoke club (?). Not 100% sure if that’s confirmed but that’s what I assumed.
@@robwilliamson5082 I think that was confirmed by Nick Lang on Twitter, and iirc Lauren? A lot of these minor characters just get names in livestreams and tweets, like Harmony Jones (Greenpeace Girl).
Spies are Forever is excellent! Although, I believe it’s a Tin Can Brothers production not a Starkid production (there is a lot of overlap with casting cause they’re all friends, but it is technically a different company)
I think Bill said date someone at Clivesdale, Alice's school, LIKE Grace Chastity. She never went to Clivesdale + he didn't word it very well😂 And yeah... Grace is straight so that wouldn't work at all haha
I know you’re upset about the phone not being answered, and as a former customer service guy, I understand. But as someone who got a different job after that, as something other than customer service, I was told explicitly that it wasn’t my job to answer the phone unless it was my phone specifically at my desk. If I answered anyone else’s phone, I would get three chances, first a verbal warning, then a written notification, and finally a dismissal. The first time you see someone get fired for answering a call meant for someone else sticks with you. I barely register background ringing anymore.
@@TheButterBunch It was mentioned that Man in a Hurry was not given a proper name, but he was, in fact. Are you guys planning on watching the Nightmare Time and Nightmare Time 2 web series as well? If so, the answer to his name will be revealed. Also, it would be interesting to hear your all's opinions and theories surrounding the lore. I am so excited for this (I saw you posted Black Fiday's review on Black Friday and loved it as well) and hope we get so much more StarKid, including the stuff before the Hatchetfield series as well.
I apologize as I jumped the gun before hearing you are up to watch the whole StarKid catalogue. I give that idea a HUGE 👍. I hope you include Little White Lie (the series that predates A Very Potter Musical) and maybe even the two StarKid-adjacent companies Tin Can Brothers (formed by three StarKid members) and Shipwrecked Comedy (many StarKid members appear in these as well). Although some are not musicals, they are totally worth the watch if you like StarKid performers. Then, if you still want more stuff where StarKid members can be found (only including things here on TH-cam and not movies or TV shows), we can direct you to more. 😉
@@krissmith800 We're enjoy our watch-throughs so far, so we're open to any and all related suggestions. I've never heard of Little White Lie, so I'll look into it!
@@TheButterBunch Well, I enjoyed you enjoying them! 🙂 Once I got into StarKid I binged and I am sure I am still missing stuff. But, yeah, if you need any help finding more StarKid and StarKid-adjacent goodness, I am around. If you are goung to go on this wild ride down this rabbit-hole, I am right there watching.
Professor Hidgens is clearly mimicking the late great original batman actor Adam West. Though it would seem that Christopher Lloyd is a good second choice. I never realized how similar they were.

Well, I'll pass this on to BB and Aidan. They'll be delighted they were right all along.

Also, very minor spoiler (barely a spoiler) for NPMD.
He gets name dropped during the song Hatchet town. It’s literally one lyric.
@@robwilliamson5082 Yeah but if you don't already know his name, then it's like a blink and you'll miss it line.
Of course his name is Swift! Classic!
@@TheButterBunchI think his first name is a reference too. Barry is also the first name of the DC hero the flash, who’s power is running fast

It would certainly make sense.
Apparently it’s actually a separate character called “The Hatchetfield Bee” that’s unrelated to the smoke club.
@@junegeeitisahardgfulmer7911 where is that mentioned
@@robwilliamson5082 I think that was confirmed by Nick Lang on Twitter, and iirc Lauren? A lot of these minor characters just get names in livestreams and tweets, like Harmony Jones (Greenpeace Girl).
I can't tell if that's a joke or not and I'm weirdly okay with that.@@junegeeitisahardgfulmer7911

It's been explained, but we'll definitely look into it. Likely some time next year.
Especially Nightmare Time 2 really helps understanding Nerdy Prudes must die. So I would recomend watching it :)
Once we're done with Nightmare Time 1, we'll look into it.

Imagine how much more of a "dirty girl" she'd have felt like if she weren't straight, though.
Also the guy playing John Mcnamara was the guy who wrote the songs
17:40 not really relevant but i think he says frapp because of the word frappuccino
OMG THE GUY WHO DIDN'T LIKE MUSICALS!! I LOVE STARKID
Me too!

Love it!!!! More Team StarKid is always welcome.
Glad to hear it!

Jim Carrey and Doc Brown? Hidgens always has sounded like Adam West to me...
Voice-wise maybe. Personality-wise, I think that combo makes more sense.
The man in a hurry does in fact get a name in Nightmare time

Hi! Enjoyed this, thank you. Subbed 😄 Starkid have some proper bangers and y'all some chill and fun.
I can hardly wait to show the others the rest of StarKid's repertoire!
Love This Musical.
