Escape From Vault Disney

Escape From Vault Disney will return with a full new episode next week, but in the meantime, here's a BONUS MINISODE of some canon-breaking outtakes from our Star Wars episode from a few weeks ago, featuring Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Morgan Funder and Luke Ski!

Escape From Vault Disney will be back with new episodes in June after Tony fully recovers from COVID, but in the meantime, here's a BONUS MINISODE of an extended outtake of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans of our Luck of the Irish episode, featuring Tony Goldmark, David Ganssle, Zach Hurst, Cassie Shima and Agatha Vile!

Y'know, as I've said before in these episode descriptions, doing this podcast can be a precarious endeavor sometimes. Some weeks, we get to watch ridiculous oddities like The Luck of the Irish or delightful obscure gems like Life With Mikey...and then there's weeks like this one, when the almighty randomizer sees fit to say "Hey look, two episodes of a made-for-YouTube NatGeo documentary series fr...

Happy Star Wars Day, everyone! This week, just in time for May the Fourth (and might I add, be with you) we finally force-choke the randomizer into giving us some Star Wars content, and it goes all the way back to 1977 to the original George Lucas classic that started it all! Or rather, the infamous beleaguered "Maclunkey Cut" of the classic that started it all. Why all the wanton CGI? Who actuall...

This week the randomizer goes all the way back to 2021 to cover a CGI animated series produced in France and inspired by anime that originally aired in the states on Nickelodeon before moving to Netflix and eventually the Disney Channel and Disney+. It is completely incomprehensible and I neither condone nor understand anything that happens in it. Join Tony Goldmark, Madeline Maye, Renie Rivas and...

This week the randomizer goes all the way back to late 2021 to cover Disney Animation's latest instant massive phenomenon that took the world by storm with breathtaking visuals, compelling characters, dynamic storytelling and inhumanly catchy songs...and just our luck, one of our guests on this episode just so happens to be one of the nine people in the universe who intensely despises it with the...

The increasingly-inaccurately-titled PARKS MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney finally comes to a close, a mere two weeks after the month ended! For our fifth and final week of "Parks Month and a Half" I guess, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2021 to cover a made-for-Disney+ docuseries that attempts to blend theme park history lessons with postmodern fourth-wall-breaking wacky comedy (wow wh...

Escape From Vault Disney will be back with the conclusion of Parks Month (or, as it can more accurately be called now, Parks Month And A Half) next week, but in the meantime here's a BONUS MINISODE with a State of the Parks segment on the announcement of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind's opening date!

PARKS MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney just keeps on riding along! For our fourth week of Parks Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2020 to cover an episode of an inevitable series in which Disney realizes they own both a Florida theme park filled with animals (totally not a zoo though, and how dare you propagate such unfounded allegations) and a basic cable network devoted entirely to...

It continues to be PARKS MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! For our third week of Parks Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2003 to bless us with the one movie based on a theme park ride that won over critics and audiences alike, and made them say "Oh wow, I guess you CAN make a really really really good movie based on a theme park ride!" before that peculiar subgenre squandered everyon...

It's still PARKS MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our second week of Parks Month, the randomizer in its infinite wisdom goes all the way back to 2015 to make us watch an episode of a Disney Junior series with an in-name-only parks connection, depicting a harsh dystopian future of robo-ostriches, gaseous blob-monsters and ruthless dancing space-dictators, where every five seconds someone...

DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded and released prior to the arrest of one of its guests, Kyle Carrozza. We at Escape From Vault Disney strongly condemn Mr. Carrozza's actions and offer our deepest sympathies to his victims, and we will not be inviting him on this podcast again in the future. That said, rather than attempt to rewrite history, we have decided to leave this episode online and int...

This week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode, in which we celebrate St. Patrick's Day a few weeks early as our good friend Zach Hurst makes us watch a Disney Channel Original Movie from 2001 wherein every last Irish stereotype known to man and beast was forced to collide into each other at full speed in a chaotic cataclysmic cacophony of dance steps, lucky charms...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to December 2021 to cover the season-or-possibly-series finale of Marvel's latest Disney+ show, in which they realize they're finally down to the last of the original six OG Avengers and say "Screw it, let's just do a show about the bow-and-arrows guy." Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Zach Hurst as they take aim at HAWK...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2019 to cover a series of Disney Junior interstitial shorts bold enough to combine the cheap animation and insipid writing of a  pre-school show with the insufferable egotism of a YouTube lifestyle vlog. Proceed at your own peril. Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Zach Hurst as they neither like, share nor subscribe to...

This week, for our first episode of 2022, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1993 to pick an underrated Touchstone Pictures comedy starring Michael J. Fox as a former child actor turned agent for child actors, in a story delightful enough to make you forget to question why we've all collectively decided show business is the one industry where child labor is okay. Join Tony Goldmark, Alessandr...

We'll be back with a full episode next week, but in the meantime here's a BONUS MINISODE with a State of the Parks segment on the unanticipated wild success of Figment popcorn buckets!

For the first of three minisodes of our post-Christmas/January hiatus, here's a buncha never-before-heard rambly OUTTAKES from our Muppets Haunted Mansion episode from two months ago with Count Jackula, Madeline Maye and Luke Ski!

This week, for our final Christmas episode of 2021, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2007 to pick a made-for-ABC Family Christmas movie that dared to tragically answer the bold cinematic question asked by literally no one, "What would happen if Meet the Fockers, The Chronicles of Narnia and Elf all tried to be the same movie?" Join Tony Goldmark, Michael Hunter, Kit Quinn and the ever-intru...

This week, for our second of three special Christmas episodes of 2021, the randomizer goes all the way back to last year to pick one of 2020's seemingly endless stream of COVID-prompted TV specials in which celebrities tried in vain to entertain you people from the socially-distanced comfort of their own homes. Or in this case, the cast of a Disney+ reboot series with a title that sounds ironicall...

This week, for our first of three special Christmas episodes of 2021, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2009 to pick a half-hour animated ABC Christmas special that dared to ask the bold question, "What if you set Monsters Inc. at Santa's workshop, except I'm not sure why I just typed 'except' because that's literally all it is, Monsters Inc. set at Santa's workshop." Join Tony Goldmark, Mor...

This week the randomizer, in its infinite wisdom, chooses more NatGeo content for us to endure! In this case, an episode of a three-part documentary miniseries from 2014 which CLAIMS to show us horrific footage of an entire continent being pushed through some poor woman's birth canal and being granted the gift of life, but instead pulls a bait-and-switch for some reason and just talks about volcan...
