the Hit the Road Jack scene


I thought it was really weird when Ray and his backup singer were fighting and start singing their anger like it's a musical.

Agreed. Saw that this morning on HBO and thought it was bizarre.

... and thought it was bizarre.
I thought it was a terrific seque. It underpinned the "just business" argument they'd been previously having, whilst also referencing the bust - up in their relationship. A musical highlight IMO!🐭

I thought that scene in the hotel was amusing. And probably contrived as well.

Its basically a foreshadow, because you seen how Marge was extremely sick of Ray playing her, and got her pregnant. I actually wonder if that really happened.
