Hi, I have watched this video multiple times and it really has everything ... jokes, class theory, historical research, contagious enthusiasm, an answer to who the fuck background newsie is whom. You made me laugh so hard with David holding onto that rope, man. I love that you are dressed thematically. Thank you!!!!
OH MY GOD okay watching this video was like getting to watch newsies with a friend whose obsession is as great as mine THANK YOU also all your takes are SUPERIOR
as an extreme lover of newsies its already so fun seeing you be just as happy as i am. when 'NEWSIES' came across the screen really big i also went HELL YEAH and thats beautiful
If I recall correctly, in the original script, Jack was severely traumatized by his family history (including, I think, watching his brother die?) so Santa Fe and the lie that he has family there is a fantasy to cope (which is supported in the song, imo). (Gotta say, bit annoyed that you were irritated by it in the movie but in the stage musical he outright sings about, like, farming.)
I don't care for the song much in general. But I especially hate how in the prologue version during the stage musical he's basically like "you'll be able to walk and run like everyone else, Crutchie!!" like NO he WON'T don't LIE to the boy!!
I LOVE YOUR COSTUME IT'S SO GOOD Newsies is my favourite musical too and I've seen it twice in London already and hope to go back, yes I know all the songs both movie and musical and yes I can tell the boys apart, my favourite is Racetrack.
Omg i love this video. I am also an obsessed newsies fan and this video made me so happy. I spent this entire video full on cackling at your jokes, you're honestly so funny.
"I love them and I love that I love them" PLEASE RETAIN THIS MINDSET FOR YOUR WHOLE LIFE (love a 28 year old hag who has freshly discovered the Newsie cult)
4:11 I’m pretty sure that’s snaps. Also so honestly happy I found this video I’ve been obsessed with newsies for a while and this is making me so happy :)
Omg I know I’m very late to this party but I absolutely LOVE newsies and I would really love if you ever did make a video of Blood Drip Heavily On Newsies Square! Keep doing you! ❤
Hello I have been getting into Newsies because I am obsessed with Christian Bale rn and discovered this movie and now I love it so muchh. Thank you so much for this I'm glad other ppl also love this movie and that there is a fandom for it I can look into !! I would loveee a video on Blood Drips on Newsies Square please consider making one hehehe, and also I was wondering if you have any fanfic recs because now that I am aware they exist I will defintley be diving into those : DD
@@camig1808 ok now I rly want an outsiders video Bc I also love thst movie (I prefer the book tho but both are equally amazing and both make me equally happy :)
I love newsies so much ! I came from the outsiders video and is it just me or does great expectations and Santa Fe sound the same and would be good together
Wow. I saw Newsies in the theater and it had a really great big influence on my life when it comes my views on labor unions and worker’s rights…but this is cool too I guess. Just glad it’s still relevant.
I love this movie and a few years back I spent some years time to identify racetracks true identity. We all know he was a real person but no one has yet to truly identify him, although a few claim to know but I have seen no one with definitive proof. I've seen some people say Antonio Higgins and others say Ed Higgins, but . Using just the paper-trail, I was able to find a Thomas Higgins listed as a "News Pape Agent" living at 1018 Avenue A in Manhattan in the 1900 US Census. On March 24th, 1902 a Thomas Higgins (not 100% sure if the same person as in the Census), who is listed as a newsboy living at the Metropolitan Lodging House, contracted Smallpox and was moved to a hospital. He died on March 2nd, 1912 from tuberculosis, buried in National Cemetery, occupation listed as News Dealer.
43:46 you know they used to dispatch the national guard to strikes and strikers were shot and killed in multiple instances, or firebombed, such as Ford Pinkerton, Ludlow, and Capitol Hill That being said…I’m living for your critique of David Moscow’s dancing
Hi! I'm new to your channel so I don't know if you've done this already or not, but can you make another video about Newsies on broadway? Or maybe one comparing it with the movie? There are a lot of funny details in the musical that I think you'd like.
no bc i am only like 3 min into this video and i agree w literally everything you’ve said okay sorry i’m gonna edit bc i don’t wanna leave a million comments but let’s TALK abt blink and mush let’s PLEASE talk abt it. i hate ships too but it’s there okay fine we disagree now bc i don’t hate sarah. i like her much more than katherine which is truly not much but in comparison but it must be said
Blink and Mush is literally like the only ship fanfic I would read lol. Also don't care for love interests ever because, again, not into ships, so I don't really like Katherine either. Sarah just feels like she doesn't even have a purpose in the story
@@anyanaylor oh sarah absolutely has no purpose in the story but i despise katherine bc she is like the kingpin of the shift from anti-classism in the story to old people cause problems as the thesis. the weirdest thing for me was always when ppl in fandom shipped katherine and sarah?? i get the desire for lesbians but ??
@@woodsyowl8001 ok exuse my rant here Idk why I actually liked Sarah she wasn't my favorite but I didn't hare her. Kathrine on the other hand, she was literally only in their for feminisum and plot convince. Apparently nobody treats her differently. Bc she's a girl. And she's sassy, oh course she's sassy cause that's what woamn were like in 1899. Also she's Pulitzers daughter for some reason. And don't *Even* get me started on the fact that they took away an entire scene with Jack and the refudge and the newsies helping him escape and that scene with Davey and him in the Alley. Yea they took all that away just so Jack and Kathrine could have their damn kiss. Also she gets her own song now!? Why didn't racetrack get his own song, I mean I guess it was king of New York but that wasn't just him. But Kathrine gets her own song!? Broadway just took Denton and Sarah and made them kissand i hate it. Also why do ppl love Broadway racetrack so much? Movie racetrack is literally one of my comfort charecters (not tryna sound weird) excuse my rant but it had to be said 😭🤠
@@Chaos_Fantasmic i agree sm. katherine was a rich character in “our side” so that we could shift the issue away from capitalism and make rich broadway ppl comfortable. i also dislike how they really took down kid blinks character in addition to racetracks, especially since kid blink irl did a lot of the work credited to jack in the musical and movie
Ok, ive always been a fan of the musical, but never liked the movie the same for some reason. This video changed my mind, 100% the movie is AMAZING (also yes i know this is my second comment of the day but i have a lot to say lol)
Maybe I need to get back to exploring old Newsies sites, because while Blanket was not listed at the first source I found for Tumbler, perhaps he is somewhere else. I'm gonna check out that Tumblr they linked on the Wayback in the meantime.
I honestly can name too many background newsies cos theres also snitch, crazy legs and others i can name on sight but not off the top of my head. I love this movie with everything i have
@@anyanaylor hes the one you was calling blankets i was sent the post in lockdown but if i find it ill let you know. But he named his character by himself as ge was initially fully unnamed
youre so real i love davey hes my fav of all time but i bully the hell out of him every time i watch LMAO edit: YOU RIPPED HIM TO SHREDS HOLY SHIT LMAO
Don't feel bad using fairy in this context, it wasn't as derogatory at the time and was one of the few words available so it was used by most people (except the Manliest Men, who were just queer if they said it at all).
Hello @anyanaylor and everyone on here, did you know there is an Outsiders musical??!! I came right here to say this because no one I know in real life will be excited.
Hello friend! I DID know but am staying blind until the entire Broadway soundtrack comes out so I can listen to it all at once. Might make a video on it once it does! Editing a vlog currently, then want to make a vid on the movie, THEN we'll try to get the musical in there!
Let’s note hate on Sarah that much it’s just poor writing that’s makes her boring, she was just there to be the female love interest, just there to get Jack that kiss at the end of the movie. For we know she probably works at a sweatshop every day and doesn’t complain because in those times it wouldn’t be socially acceptable for a lady to complain, for all we know she faced hardships she was a working kid too. The only reason she so boring is because she was poorly written and we never really got to know her story.

Fun fact: This movie is one of the only movies that I almost cried watching, not because it was sad, but because of how hapy it makes me :)
SAME
One of my favorite moments is racetrack as king the boys if they know how to read before giving them the paper ****sobbing at the wholesomeness****
I’m not quite sure what’s so wholesome about literacy
1. Please the blood drips analysis plsss
2. Two-bit? THE OUTSIDERS
ALSO THANK YOU FOR NOT MENTIONING SHIPS, I too believe that platonic friendships are just as important (if not more important) than romantic ones.
newsies has also been my favorite musical since as long as i can remember
newsies tumblr posts from 5+ years ago being your sources is so real. newsies tumblr is a serious resource
I'm obsessed with Newsies and this freaking made my day.
Hi, I have watched this video multiple times and it really has everything ... jokes, class theory, historical research, contagious enthusiasm, an answer to who the fuck background newsie is whom. You made me laugh so hard with David holding onto that rope, man. I love that you are dressed thematically. Thank you!!!!
Okay, this was literally like the best video I've ever seen.
OH MY GOD okay watching this video was like getting to watch newsies with a friend whose obsession is as great as mine THANK YOU also all your takes are SUPERIOR

BLOOD DRIPS ON NEWSIES SQUARE VIDEO WHEN!!!!!!
This deserves way more credit. An hour long and very well edited.
Edit: Currently wheezing over Jack’s hip thrusts
Edit 2: omg the commentary
“Snyder as in-the pretzel?!?! Smile, sir.” I’m dead. 😂
I played Crutchy in my high school production of Newsies, been obsessed ever since. Love this!
Omg i love this video. I am also an obsessed newsies fan and this video made me so happy. I spent this entire video full on cackling at your jokes, you're honestly so funny.

I have records of the snapping kid from the start being called Snap or Snaps (makes sense that the guy we know as Snaps is the snapper).
Lodging House sites are really boring but now I regret not saving links for more.
I think people were confused about Blanket in the old days, too.
In case anyone is curious like I was, early online Newsies fandom had the biggest overlaps with Swing Kids and Roundhouse, followed by The Monkees.
I honestly can name too many background newsies cos theres also snitch, crazy legs and others i can name on sight but not off the top of my head. I love this movie with everything i have

My freshman year of high school we sang a Newsies medley. I LOVE this movie and the broadway version too! NOW IS THE TIME TO SEIZE THE DAY!
The paper at the end I assume was during the foot slide that the newsie ripped the pape in half and thats the other half of it on the floor
Newsies and little shop of horrors ? Saaammmeeee
THIS IS SO FUNNY I LOVE U ANYAAAAA
