I was scrolling YouTube and came across this "Ebenezer" trailer — Johnny Depp as Scrooge, Ian McKellen as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Rupert Grint randomly in there, and Sam Claflin. Directed by Ti West apparently. Paramount logo at the start. It looked legit.

I sat down and recorded a full reaction to it. I was genuinely hyped — I'm pointing out actors, breaking down scenes, talking about Johnny Depp's comeback after the trial, the whole thing.

Halfway through I start noticing things don't quite add up. The makeup is incredible (you literally can't tell it's Depp), the editing is convincing... but the more I watched, the more I realized this probably wasn't real.

This is the most convincing fan-made trailer I've ever seen. The amount of work that went into this is insane — whoever made it stitched together footage from like five different Depp movies and somehow made it feel like one coherent film.

Has anyone else been completely fooled by a fan trailer before? I feel like I need to fact-check everything now 😂

This song is absolutely wild. If you haven't heard it, "Animal Lover" is Cruella de Vil's big number from the stage musical — and lyrically it's her casually listing every animal she wants to skin for fashion, set to a deceptively catchy tune. It's dark. It's theatrical. It's perfect villain material.

I'm a UK tenor and I've been working through lesser-known musical theatre villain songs — this one felt overdue for a dramatic cover. Went full cinematic with the performance. Would genuinely love to hear what theatre fans think of this song and the arrangement.

What other underrated musical villain songs should I tackle next?

I’ve just recorded a tenor cover of “MAD” from Wicked Wonderland and tried to make the performance feel increasingly theatrical and unsettling as the song develops.

The part I’m most interested in is the shift from the strange Wonderland atmosphere into the revenge and “monster” section near the end. I’d love to know how other musical theatre fans interpret the character and whether that emotional progression comes through in my performance.

What would you change about the vocal or acting choices?

Huge Wicked fan here. I managed to collab with the incredibly talented Louise Stiphout on a cover of "For Good" and I'm honestly so proud of how it turned out.

It's only 1m 42s — give it a listen and let me know what you think. Honest feedback welcome!

I found this today and couldn't stop watching — a UK tenor put together a full vocal medley covering the emotional arc of the whole show: Open Arms, Ruthlessness, and three more.

He's clearly not a big channel but honestly? The voice is genuinely there. The kind of raw, no-frills delivery that actually serves these songs.

Curious what the EPIC community thinks — especially the Poseidon section. Drop a timestamp in the comments if one moment gets you.
