Climbing the Castle

So the Olympics are finally here and we decided stay on brand and watch Cool Runnings. It might have messed up our release schedule a little bit but we feel it was worth it. This is such a fun feel good movie that doesn't get as much love as it should. A fantastic cast of characters, lots of comedy, lots of drama and just an all around good time.

This week we're finally wrapping up the Mighty Ducks trilogy with... shocker, D3 The Mighty Ducks. They still haven't figured out how to come up with new names. We're back in the preppy school showdown genre again. This movie definitely has a more comedic tone to it than the other 2 but still manages to keep the same duck spirit. While we do have differing opinions which leads to more...

This week we're continuing our journey through The Mighty Ducks saga with D2 where the storyline is just as original is the title. While it's not a bad movie per say, there's just alot of things that don't make sense. They're able to keep some of the fun characters and add some new ones but still don't know how to showcase them. Although it doesn't live up to the first...

This week were jumping into another blast from the past with The Mighty Ducks. This was a staple in most of us "old" folks childhood. And it was great to see that it still holds up. With a great mix of comedy and drama filled with an great group of characters this is a quintessential 90s classic that lives on.

This week we take another trip back to the digital world known as the grid in Tron Legacy. This time we follow Kevin's son Sam Flynn in an audio/visual visual journey that stimulates all of our senses. Tron Legacy is one of the best put together movies we've seen in a while.

We've got a blast from the past this week as Charlie and I take a trip into the digital world of Tron. A groundbreaking introduction to the world of CGI. This is one of the few times we have vastly different opinions on a movie.

We're right back to season 3 after our brief interruption and this week we're revisiting a childhood classic in Flubber. You would think that anything that has Robin Williams is destined to be great but sadly that is not the case. With a plot that's all over the place, or not even there in some points, a questionable group of characters, and special effects that seem like they are tryi...

We're back for our first Season One episode in almost a year and a half and this week Charlie and I go to the city of Rosas in Wish, a tribute and celebration to Disney's 100 year anniversary. First the first time in a while Charlie and I have mixed opinions which leads to a few debates and we accidentally get sent off on quite a few tangents.

This week Charlie and I are back with more conspiracy theories and convoluted plans from Ben Gates in National Treasure Book of Secrets. This time Ben's plan is just as crazy if not more... Kidnap the president. With another great blend of comedy and action this is another rare case where a sequel manages to hold up to the original.

This week we're gonna steal the Declaration of Independence in National Treasure. A fun action movie that still holds up. This movie has a good mix of everything you could ask for. Action, adventure, romance, comedy, drama. It all meshes perfectly together to create a great film.

This week Charlie and I dig into a childhood favorite of both of us in Holes. With essentially 3 movies in one Holes packs a major punch and with a great mix of comedy and drama it still holds up as an essential classic.

This week Charlie and I go back to 1950 as we visit Disney's first full live action movie "Treasure Island". Based of the Novel this is also the story used for Treasure Planet, and while the story is mostly the same it's still fun and unique in it's own ways that still manage to make it enjoyable. With twists and turns at every corner you never know what to expect next.

This week Charlie and I investigate the murder of Toon Town owner Marvin Acme in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" Another fun live action/animation blend which takes us back to the roots of cartoons. This is the one and only time where Warner Brothers and Disney paired up to give us a once in an a lifetime masterpiece.

This week Charlie and I learn that Happily Ever After may not always be a real thing as we continue the story of Robert and Giselle in Disenchanted. A movie filled with more references, more tropes, and and even more villains this movie feels like a giant homage to Disney's past while adding it's own new twists.

This week Charlie and I discuss a brand new fairytale of the modern era when Princess Giselle is sent from the magical world of Andalasia to the rough streets of New York City in Enchanted. It's a fun tale that has everything we want, Romance, Comedy, Drama, a bit of action, all while paying tribute to the stories of Disney's past.

This week we Continue the Goofy Saga in An Extremely Goofy Movie. Max has graduated high school and now he's off to college. His excitement of finally being away from his father is short lived after Goofy shows up and says he's returning to school. It's another one of this typical college competition type movies but somehow manages to keep some of the charm.

We're back with one of the core Disney characters again this week in A Goofy Movie. Full of laughs, an incredible soundtrack, and some fun family bonding moments this movie is a blast from the past that still manages to deliver joy.

We're closing out out Lindsay Lohan Series with with yet another remake/reboot. They really liked having Lindsay retell their classics huh? This week we cover Herbie Fully Loaded. Which unfortunately is the weakest of the three. Sadly this movie just doesn't have much going on for it and there's just not alot to get in to. It's not bad, but also not good either.

We're back with week two of our Lindsay Lohan extravaganza and this week we're watching Freaky Friday, Another Disney original film which is remade with Lindsay Lohan. Although this story is a fun concept we still struggle with alot of issues in this one. This unfortunately does not hold up as well as The Parent Trap

This week Charlie and I head back to the 90s again for some serious nostalgic vibes in Lindsay Lohan's film debut The Parent Trap. This movie actually holds up really well and gives you everything you could ask for, comedy, drama, romance, a bit of action. With a fun original story and likeable characters it's no wonder this film is considered essential.

This week Charlie and I continue to follow the story of Scott Calvin in The Santa Clause 2. Although this is definitely disney's take on a Hallmark movie they still manage to have some fun with it.

We're back again after a bit of delay. Sorry Things have been a bit hectic lately and it's just hard to get an episode out. This Week Charlie and I take a visit to North Pole in The Santa Clause. A holiday classic that still holds up. Tim Allen Captures us with a wonderfully hilarious portrayal of the Jolly Saint Nick.

I know were getting a super late start to this but there was all kinds of issues and delays that prevented this episode from coming out on time, but this week Charlie and I take a look at 3 tales of Christmas in Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas. The whole gang is back (apparently for the first time together) And we learn alot about the true meaning of Christmas

This week we take another fantastic journey through the world of stop motion with James and the Giant Peach. We got tricked yet again into thinking this was another Tim Burton movie but yet again it's Henry Selleck. However we get a fun group of characters and some catchy songs to make up for that.

This week Charlie and I travel back in time with an homage to classic horror films in Frankenweenie. With more great stop motion and plenty of fun references this movie gives much more than a retro blast from the past.
