Tuesday, 10 February, 2026
We're all in this together. In this episode, we’re going back 20 years to 2006 to rewatch a movie that defined a generation of Disney Channel kids: High School Musical. Joining host Luke Ferris are two Wildcats who were there at the beginning—returning guest Eliza McInnis and first-time guest Kloey Ramey.We’ll dive into:The Musical Magic: From the "Start of Something New" on New Year's Eve to the championship-winning final number, we explore the songs and choreography that made this a global phenomenon.Wildcat Fever: We talk about the iconic cliques of East High—from the drama kids and brainiacs to the jocks and skaters.The "Sliding Doors" of Pop Culture: We discuss the alternate reality where this was Grease 3 starring Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, and how the mid-2000s would have looked vastly different if Drew Seeley had remained the "voice" of Troy Bolton.What's Happening with the Boltons: We break down the dynamics of the Bolton family and their financial situation.Best of 2006: We revisit the most nostalgic moments, featuring the mounting evils of cell phones, basketball jerseys with shoulder pads, and the absolute peak of the ironic t-shirt era.2000s Fashion Snapshot: From Ryan’s nine different hats to teenagers wearing blazers and fashion belts, we crown the outfits least likely to come back into style.Catch new episodes of Least Important Things every Tuesday wherever you get your podcasts or on YouTube.Support Least Important Things on Patreon — If we hit 40 members, Mike Wynne will do a Twilight rewatch!You can be part of the show by leaving a voicemail here.You can email the show at leastimportantthings@gmail.com or reach out via social media.Read our articles and learn more about the show at www.leastimportantthings.com.Sources for this episode:High School Musical - Official TrailerRoyalty-free music and sound effects via Artlist.comSend a textFollow Least Important Things: Letterboxd Instagram YouTube TikTok Facebook All content falls under fair use: any copying of copyrighted material is done for a limited, educational and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work.
