Disney Compendium

Hey! Want to watch one of just the worst things to ever waste ink?  Well here it is.  I will not "Bust a moo" Neither of us will.  

Jurassic Park.  That's honestly all I have to say.  I can't imagine anybody sitting down, putting this on, and thinking Jurassic Park is a bad movie.  That's simply not rational thought.

Look.  I'm going to level with you.  Things aren't good.  The world is falling apart, this movie absolutely blows, and we do everything we can to not talk about this movie.  It's a short episode.  We are in dark times.  Both in the Disney timeline and just reality in genera.  Things will get better.  Again, in both senses.

WE'RE BACK! A PODCASTER STORY.  First off, sorry I'm so quite.  I did my best to fix it.  I have a new setup.  Treasure Planet is a bizarre little movie that the hosts mostly agree on, but you should just listen.  It's great.

Everything old is new again, and every action movie takes a trip to Mexico! The Bad Boys are back! Do Martin Lawrence and Will Smith have what it takes to overcome a years long absence and Bad Boys II? Let's talk it out.

Every great story must come to a close.  No more after this.  Nope.  Everything wrapped up in a neat little package.  Happy epilogues for everybody.  HOORAY!

BEHOLD! What mystery lies ahead? What film is the first compendium of the new year going to be about?! Know this: only one may enter here, one whose worth lies far within. A diamond in the rough.

Join us as I yell at my friend for being too insightful about one of the greatest movies and sequels of all time.  The Empire Strikes Back episode if full of stories, behind the scenes action, financials and see if you can figure out where I said the F word!

There are only a few good adaptions of this story and this is one of the ones at the top of list and we let you know it time and time and time again.

BACK IN TIME! Join us as the hosts travel back to 1977 (and before that even) a time when they weren't even alive to discuss on of this most important movies in the history of the art and give you so many facts you might start to think that you were Lucas himself. Strap in.  I have a good feeling about this.

This is it.  The FINAL STAR WARS.  No more.  Ever again.  The end of an era.  Nothing can ever change that so long has Lucas has a say in it.  Can he deliver on the promises made over the decades? Probably! Let's find out!

The most reviled and hated (almost as much as Anakin hates sand) Star War is here, and the two hosts gush about it. Mostly.  Join us on a journey of clones, bounty hunters, and political intrigue.  Begun, this Clone War has.

In what is probably Disney's most human movie they've done in decades, which is funny since one character isn't, the hosts go on a Hawaiian roller coaster ride in this Elvis infused 2002 classic.

Look. I'm not going to beat around the bush here. We were not looking for to this one.  It's definitely not a highlight of the studios output and we just...we just couldn't.  Our pain is your joy though! It's a good episode, but I've got some bias.

Introducing a new ongoing series, starting with a 6 part series exploring the entire world of Star Wars from two men that love Star Wars maybe too much, all 6 Lucas movies at least.  Sure to be a hit with the kids.  ENJOY! (More to come, not just Star Wars) Music for this episode was created by my co-host.

Hey, I know I said "Hey, this will go up the day Disney+ launches" and then it didn't  But I ALSO said I know it won't because I'm awful and I was right.  Today, it's about the best of the best of Disney's afternoon classics.  This episode was hand chosen by Nick and it's got both of us almost singing.

The Vault! Where the racial stereotypes go to either die or be preserved for another generation to enjoy! When you need to make future money off a movie? The Vault! Need a single frame from a short nobody remembers from 1948?  The Vault! And also lots and lots of things not related to the vault at all are discussed.  Enjoy!

The year 2000 brought us a lot of content.  This is one of them.  What do you get when a film falls apart at the seams and just becomes something completely different with 90% less Sting than originally intended?  Here you go.  As a bonus, we also include a lengthy discussion about the fully filmed, but never release (but easy to find now) documentary covering the whole mess of a production.  BOOM...

In a post Jurassic Park world, Disney tries their own hand at Pixar and well... With a stunning history of who is responsible to it existing to trying to drop in every Dinosaur movie you could think of, this episode has it all.

IN THE YEAR 2000, Roy Disney wants to make a new Fantasia and Eisner wants him to shut up so he lets him.  What is the final product? Tune in and find out. (Note, I'm aware of the the audio issue missing a couple seconds on the front of the episode, the problem will be fixed in future episodes.)

Well.  Here it is.  The end of the era known as the Disney Renaissance.  And what a way to go out.  Just a long wet raspberry of a movie.  Join the hosts as they try and talk about anything else BUT Tarzan for 90+ minutes. 

Can the two hosts talk about Chinese culture without embarrassing themselves? Let's find out! Disney takes on the topic of female representation.  Do they nail the landing or stumble like fools.  This 1998 classic is the penultimate Disney Renaissance film. It's genuinely kind of exciting to think about.

IS HE SWEET? OUR FAVORITE FLAVOR.  Disney takes a shot at ancient mythology.  Is their aim true and pure? Or do they miss the target again as the Renaissance draws closer to a close?  TUNE IN! James Woods is a vile villain, and is also Hades in this movie! Enjoy! 

Coming at you like a giant vat of molten lead, the gang talks about The Hunchback of Notre Dame, as we wind down the Disney Renaissance, the quality of animation remains high, but what about everything else?  Join us.  Shall you? 

Hey.  Disney went historical.  You can guess how well that went.  Done with the best of intentions or a cynical attempt to diversify their princess portfolio? Tune in and listen to the hosts really try and find the good in this one.  ENJOY!
