# Episode #491 – Standing Ovation

We say goodbye to Smalltember with a true bad movie jewel (thanks to Alonso Duralde for recommending it) — the kid/tween/teen musical comedy [STANDING OVATION](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1303803/), one of the few movies about a singing competition that also makes room for a mob subplot and a child who threatens people with deadly animals. What a magical picture.
