Behind The Timeline

What the hell, Don Bluth!? How did such a sleeper classic become one of our most-deeply-discussed films to date? From the 1885 raids to life as an immigrant in New York to the next chapter in the saga that is the Multiverse of Mousedom! We're not letting this go - all the mice movies are connected. We're committed to this. It's a part of us, now. - Make sure to subscribe to Behind the Timeline and...

Nope, you read that correctly. It's another Disney movie, NOT MORBIUS! Schedule changes, wardrobe changes, climate changes; They all happened this past weekend and so here we are to discuss a criminally under-appreciated Dark Age masterpiece, instead. Join us as we try to figure out why we hate certain Disney animal films more than others, stand firm on Ratigan having one of the Top 5 best villain...

Huh... maybe covering this wasn't such a good idea. Things got weird during this movie - yea, that word gets used a lot this episode. Either way, join Scott and his aviation-nerd-friend-in-arms Andrew as they discuss unnecessary sweating, how there's really two movies happening at the same time and what the average payload of an F-14 Tomcat actually was during this time! - Make sure to subscribe t...

Alright look. We're gonna be straight with you guys: We lied. We've got one more movie in'85. We forgot - we're not perfect, though we understand why you would think that. To make amends, we've concluded our run of this year in the timeline with The Black Cauldron, the dark, forgotten terror of Disney's "Dark Ages". A movie of firsts in several regards, we touch on everything from the lack of plot...

Iron Man , my ass! Back to the Future is obviously the first film in the MCU timeline. We totally prove it without even making too many stretches. Sue us. Whatever! Anyway, join as we break down time-travel differences across film, try to figure out which George is the Variant, inject Oedipus (because why not?) and celebrate finally getting to make an episode-necessary Flash reference. - Make sure...

COCKTAIL PARTIES! Lindsay wants 'em, Bruce Wayne didn't get 'em - whatta tragedy. What he did get was a noir-fueled caped detective adventure through a gritty, harrowing and at times even terrifying new Gotham. The newest outing for the famed Caped Crusader sees Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz and many more battle familiar faces from movies passed with new life and backstories, all the while giving...

Okay, so I think what we learned here today is that Scott shouldn't be allowed to run episodes without Lindsay's supervision. Joining in her stead due to scheduling clashes are both Scott's mother and his aunt, who were both awesome to discuss this coming-of-age classic with! From what it was really like for parents during that time to high school social cliques and where we thought we ourselves l...

I think I can safely say, without a shadow of a doubt, this was the number one, most despised movie we've ever reviewed; Lindsay's words. You heard 'em here, live! Kinda. Anyway, we got so lost in the weeds of bullying, turtles, Stranger Things (again!) and even Jumanji that it was difficult to remember what movie we were even covering, at times. Needless to say there were some things Lindsay woul...

"You're the best... AROUND! No one's ever gonna break ya down!!" We're taking down the Cobra Kai a-holes and their psychopathic leader in this hilariously fun romp through 1984's sleeper-hit, The Karate Kid. Lindsay had, we can finally confirm, never seen this movie up to this point and weirdly, all it did was continually remind her of The O.C. and The Hills, which is one thing, but the absolute r...

This is the way! Ooo, man that's the first time I've gotten to write that on here and it felt soooo good, lemme tell you. As a special treat for all of you, we're bringing a full review and recap of the first season of Disney+'s newest Star Wars show, The Book of Boba Fett, featuring our very special guest, Erik. What worked? What could've been done differently? What just absolutely needed to neve...

Who. You. Gonna. CALL!? And now that song's stuck in your head. You're welcome. Just like it was for us - the entire time we recorded, legitimately this song never left our brains. A pop-culture staple of the 80's, if not all time, Ghostbusters has finally hit the timeline and we couldn't be happier about it. From the up-and-down weirdness of the visuals to the hilarious ad-lib'ing throughout the...

This one was tough, friends. Let us tell you! We drove the Struggle Bus right into Struggle Town on brand new Strugglestone tires. From the annoyances of Willie Scott to the completely ridiculous plotholes to Willie Scott to blatant insensitivity and just pure terrible choices to Willie Scott, this movie was easily the hardest we here at BTT have forced ourselves to complete. We hope you enjoy, be...

We skipped it, originally, but for the second time: We've heard you! Prepare yourselves for a very nit-picky, "What the hell was what!?"-style episode about a supposedly-beloved classic from the early 80's. You've heard this story a thousand times, we get it. Alien finds tree, alien gets left behind then hunted by a dude with a key obsession from we think the Government/NASA, alien meets annoyingl...

Scott and Lindsay are back with special guest Anna for Season Two and a Dalmatian Extravaganza! We're making up for skipping all those dog movies by covering everything from the original 1956 novel 101 Dalmatians through 2021's Cruella . Did the Dalmatian Plantation fail within the first 5 years? Just how poorly thought out was Cruella's plan to murder over 100 dogs? And why didn't anybody tell me...

On this very special New Year's Eve edition of the Darkfriend Social, Scott is joining for some minor plot and lore spoilers for the Wheel of Time episode 8. Don't miss this one if you want to know what that title wave was about, why Loial for sue isn't dead, and finally, Lindsay gets to explain Ta'Veren! Book readers, make sure you stay all the way to the end to hear Lindsay's full-spoiler though...

Well, just like the pacing of this marvelous adventure, we've arrived at the end pretty damn fast. It's been an emotional ride from start to finish, to say the very least. Scott is 101% a converted WoT-aholic and struggled greatly to accept this was the final episode of Season 1. And Lindsay had to bite her lip from beyond the grave yet again in an effort to not ruin future moments and stories. We...

We are back for our 50th episode and another Dark Friend Social here at Behind the Timeline! Get ready to talk about all the evil book spoilers from The Wheel of Time episode 7 and get Lindsay's take on what was underwhelming, what was better than the books, what's coming in the season finale, plus the weekly rant questioning why they refuse to explain the concept of Ta'Veren. - Make sure to subsc...

We laughed, we cried, we ran home to engage in rampant speculation; sounds like a new MCU movie to me!

Full spoilers ahead! - Make sure to subscribe to Behind the Timeline and check out our website -...

Marley was dead, to begin with... What a spooky way to start a heartwarming Christmas story! Join Lindsay and Scott for a very special holiday edition of Behind the Timeline where we compare four versions of A Christmas Carol to determine who did it best. See our contenders below: - A Christmas Carol (1938) with Reginald Owen Scrooged (1988) with Bill Murray The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) with...

THE EMOTION!! Ermagerd - It was almost insurmountable; Scott had some serious connections this episode and Lindsay, unsurprisingly, noticed all the hidden gems this episode. Are we gonna get more info on the Forsaken sometime soon? Why the hell was Logain laughing? WHISTLING!! Aes Sedai are not nice people, it seems, either. Damn, this episode had it all, man!
