Review of Julie and the Phantoms Episode 5: “The Other Side of Hollywood”
At the end of the previous episode, I was skeptical of how the story would continue, with the boys going to the club instead of preparing to perform with Julie.
I expected Caleb’s character to be villainous but he quickly changed my mind with his support for the boys and his amazing performance, then we discovered that he had a pretty evil plan all along. Hats off to the writers!
The continuation and development of Alex and Willie’s relationship really got me attached to the episode—if it wasn’t for that, I probably would not have enjoyed the episode as much.
Another aspect of the plot I enjoyed was the new kid getting to dance with the girl. Despite it making up a small part of the show, it added a positive note to Julie’s situation, as Flynn said.
However I didn’t like Nick’s attempt to sort the situation out. Also, could the ghosts not have just appeared performing with Julie like they did in the second episode?
Review of Julie and the Phantoms Episode 4: I Got The Music.
I like how this episode began with a musical number instead of ending with one, which I found quite annoying after the first three with that structure. However, it gave me immediate HSM vibes (not that I’m complaining) which is probably because Kenny Ortega had a major role in both.
Another part I liked was the plot of Carrie and Julie’s past friendship, which was revealed by Nick in the previous episode, was continued. Although we don’t understand why they fell out, I get the impression that it will soon be known.
I have begun to like Flynn more: she gets Carlos out of Julie’s way even though it means she’ll have to wait for the ghosts’ performance and in the song, she gets a fun solo. However, I don’t enjoy how she is forcibly romantic about the ‘cute ghosts’.
Carrie’s character has also grown on me: she is envious of Julie in Bright because the latter stole all the attention from her, which is understandable considering she had thoroughly prepared for her performance; and she let Julie and Flynn into her home when she could have easily dismissed them.
One character I still don’t like is Nick’s. While necessary, he seems quite an annoying character and I’m guessing that he would be the reason that Carrie and Julie fell out because it’s 2021 and girls are still being taught that they’re worth is defined by the attention of a boy. (If I’m wrong, please comment to let me know, but don’t give too much of a spoiler!)
At the end of the episode, it is hinted that the ghosts will miss the school performance and the man Willie will introduce them to is quite mischievous. I want to see more of Alex and Willie, as well as have Reggie develop more of a character other than the clown.
A general update is that the songs are effortlessly catchy and, due to keeping it a secret from my sister, I am finding it soo hard to stop myself from bursting into song. Are they’re better ones to come?
Review of Julie and the Phantoms Episode 9: Stand Tall
Words can not describe how amazing this episode was. The writers and directors and all the BTS crew have constructed a masterpiece. Like always, I fell in love with Julie’s outfits and even Caleb’s performance was incredible but I suppose that villain are the most talented.
My only negative is that I expected some classic actor to play the manager guy in the office. I feel that could have really been a cool addition.
Alex and Reggie’s short but sweet solos were definitely a highlight of the episode. In fact I gasped when Alex stood up. I like how the phantoms were dressed in the same outfits as they previously performed in — it gave an impression that Julie’s singing brought them to the Orpheum. Everything was so fluid and I loved it. Also Nick’s little head turn when he was possessed was hilarious. He looked like he was a vampire from Twilight. Credits to whatever writer added the dahlia scene. It was short but it was sweet. I guess the best things do come in small packages.
Also, as soon as this episode finished, I blurted it to my sister that I had watched it and we did not stop talking.
Julie and the Phantoms Episode 7 Edge of Great Review
“Girls am I right?” “Yeah.” “No.”
Like the other episodes prior, Edge of Great was captivating. Also similar, the episode begins where the previous ends which gives a great sense of continuity.
My favourite part of the episode was the final moment between Alex and Willie because I could see the heartbreak in their eyes and the care in the band mates.
Julie and Luke’s duet Perfect Harmony was also one of my favourite moments and it gave me total HSM vibes like Can I Have This Dance. After this performance, Julie realises she has fallen for Luke instead of Nick, who she has been crushing on, to quote Flynn, since forever. Finally, Julie, finally!!!
The best part of this episode was most definitely the behind the scenes crew. Julie’s outfits, like always, were incredible and the decor at her house during the gig was amazing. I especially liked the butterflies decorating her outfit.

Fridays are for comebacks and unrequested additions to preexisting mythologies.
(As I imagined, I won’t be able to draw all five intended parts of this AU, what with real life happening and interests changing. But I wanted to at least complete this 6-part section of the story, which has been so important to me for many reasons. If you’re still keeping up with this, I hope you’ll like it as much as I do.)
My piece for the @jatpzine, the first @julieandthephantoms fanzine! I got to draw a small piece of our beloved characters in a 90s Movie AU, and I couldn’t help but choose the iconic Romeo+Juliet by Baz Luhrmann. Featuring:
I was looking for some screen on my phone to make Carrie’s icon but this happen. I don’t know how but I surely know why and it’s because Flynn is a true queen.
I still want to do some Carrie’s icon. Would someone be interested in those?
