Something about Emdroid trying to appear as platable/do the things expected of a woman (namely marriage) and real Emma saying that she (Emdroid) is living her (real Emma's) life wrong.

Has anyone ever noticed that Paul only has literally a handful of friends and each one dies/betrays him

Bill, Charlotte, Melisa, Emma

And we watch Emma and Paul become friends so that means Paul only had three friends

In tgwdlm Paul watches the Charlotte have her guts hanging out because he left her alone with her husband (which he knows is a bad guy)

Paul watches Bill die via the hands of something pretending to be his daughter, a girl he babysat as a kid

In hey Melisa he get’s kidnapped abused and manipulated into thinking the only way he can be loved is to be a cat

In Forever and Always he watches the woman he loves kill a lot of people including the original Emma (yea ik it’s Paul 23 but they have the same memories soooo)

My poor boy is traumatized :(

Ranking every Hidgens as a performing arts student!

There’s so many Hidgens now and I thought it would be fun to rank each of them based on their performances (As much as I love her too I will not add Mariah Rose Faith to the list, I think it would be unfair as we only saw her in a show within a show for a couple of minutes). Also just a disclaimer this is just in my opinion, if you have any different views I would love to hear them.

1- Iván Fernández González

The best Hidgens in my opinion, I really enjoyed how he interpreted his character. I think he did great at portraying his age while also keeping keeping him as a kooky professor (honestly made me forget he was in his 20s at points). I loved how he played some of the lines, for example when he would drop his voice to be deeper for certain words (eg- “It’s showtime”) and how he sung “and Leighton”. The only critique I have is that his singing could have been a little stronger but other than that he was amazing.

2- Will Branner

Honestly the best singer as Hidgens by far. His dancing and vocals were great, especially in show stopping number. Doing max’s voice for the Working Boys part was really smart and was an awesome throwback. I loved his facial expressions and his animated physically, to me he almost brought a Doc Brown vibe to him (which is fun since he has experience in BTTF). I do feel like at certain scenes he could have toned it down slightly and had his character more grounded, but other than that he was phenomenal.

3- Jeff Blim

A more unique portrayal of Hidgens compared to the others (which makes sense since this is a film rather than a musical, but I still think it’s cool to point out). I love how he made him a lot more unhinged. He was hilarious at making him completely fed up with how his show was being treated, then towards the end just completely escalated to being insane, his emotional rollercoaster was very smooth and well done. I felt like I was watching a tired drama teacher that just descends into madness. Only critique I have is his vocals, I think in the opening (Made it Work) he strained his voice slightly during the high notes that may have been a little out of his range.

4- Nick Lang

Criminally underrated, I’m surprised nobody ever talks about him. His acting was exaggerated an appropriate amount for his character in a Nightmare Time setting. His facial expressions were so fun and I love how subtly desperate he portrayed made him to get Working Boys published. I do think at some points his accent slipped out into his normal voice though. Ties so close with Jeff but I wish we got to see more of him possibly in other episodes.

5- Robert Manion

His vocals were great and his dancing was really fluid, however I think his acting could have been stronger. To me he came across more as a twink and younger rather than an older professor. He had high energy for the entirety of the show which was great but I think could have been grounded at points. I would like to separate the actor from the character but it’s hard to enjoy the performance without thinking about his actions.

One thing about these Nightmare Time episodes that are going to come out, they’re going to be higher quality than season one and two because those were during covid (or post covid for season two)

Also how many people work at Beanie’s Emma says “what am I going to do without that dollar I have to spit with five other people”

So either she was speaking hyperbole or six people work at Beanies I’m guessing the former
