This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2019 to make us watch everyone's favorite kind of Disney+ branded content, a NatGeo special! Fun. Specifically, a special that answers the question, "How do we take the inherently interesting topic of badass female Viking warriors and somehow turn it into the most boring sludge of meaningless CSI and Diet David Fincher aesthetics you've ever tried...

This week, for our second Halloween episode of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to roughly three weeks ago to cover the once-in-a-lifetime confluence of events that led to two divisions of Disney bumping into each other and saying "Hey, you got your Muppets in my Haunted Mansion!" and "You got Haunted Mansion on my Muppets!" Two great tastes that taste great together! Join Tony Goldm...

This week, for our first of two Halloween episodes of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2002 to cover yet another Disney Channel movie, from the exact same director as the Disney Channel movie we covered on our last episode. This one asks the bold cinematic question, "What if you put a heartfelt, gut-wrenching mystery-drama about death and loss, and a wacky workplace sitcom about g...

It's our final week of Patreon Request Month 2021, and the randomizer's going all the way back to 2017 to pick Troy Lundquist's request for an animated feature from the gone-but-not-forgotten Blue Sky Studios, a timeless fable about the virtues of individualism and pacifism in a cruel, heartless, endlessly competitive world where conformity is normalized and life is disposable. Also there's a scen...

It's Week #4 of Patreon Request Month 2021, and the randomizer's going all the way back to 2004 to pick Eric Ortiz's request for a randomly-selected first season episode of that show we already covered a couple months ago about going to force some sort of hyper team of monkey robots into being super. Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Cassie Shima as they try to remembe...

It's Week #3 of Patreon Request Month 2021, and the randomizer's going all the way back to 1989 to pick Paul Sebert's request for a beloved Disney Afternoon show that aired right after the waterfowl who swam through currency but before the bear who flew a plane, all about a buncha vermin who solved crimes and occasionally went into outer space for some reason. Join Tony Goldmark, Garrett Gilchrist...

It's Week #2 of Patreon Request Month 2021, and the randomizer's going all the way back to 1993 to pick Nolan Deming's request for one of the most iconic, beloved episodes ever of the deathless primetime animated series that helpfully gave every millennial a kajillion funny quotes to recite and meme at each other to save us the painful embarrassment of trying to learn social skills. Join Tony Gold...

This week, the randomizer kicks off this year's Patreon Request Month by going all the way back to 1979 to pick Nicholas M. Gentle's request for a curious mostly-forgotten "What Would Walt Have Done"-era would-be Disney classic, and I think we can all agree that out of all the Mark Twain adaptations in which the director of Beverly Hills Ninja plays both a horny robot and a time-traveling incel, t...

This week the randomizer goes all the way back to late June 2021, an ancient era forgotten by time, when the earth's crust was still warm, dinosaurs roamed the planet, and only three episodes of Loki season one had been released. For some reason, this podcast saw fit to record a Loki episode at that point and not release it until now. We're good at podcasting. Join Tony Goldmark, Brianna Garcia, K...

This week the randomizer goes back to 1994 to cover the second film in a beloved nostalgic sports movie trilogy about the jock from The Breakfast Club training a buncha youngsters to strap knives to their feet, glide around a frozen room, and try to smack a rubber disk into a net with long sticks. Also they've named their team after waterfowl and Iceland is their sworn enemy. Sports are weird. Joi...

The next full episode won't be ready until next week, but in the meantime, here's a BONUS MINISODE featuring a State of the Parks segment on the newly-announced details of the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel set to open at WDW next spring, particularly the detail of how many "credits" the damn thing costs.

This week the randomizer goes back to 2009 to cover one of the most highly-rated Disney Channel Original Movies ever made, a Selena Gomez/Demi Lovato dual vehicle which dared to ask the bold cinematic question, "What if a princess had to STOP being a princess for a little while kinda but not really?" And answers, "Huh, guess she can bowl." Join Tony Goldmark, Alessandra Dreyer, Morgan Funder and D...

This week the randomizer goes back to the mid-2000s to cover an animated series from Toon Disney's "Jetix" block of action shows, a show which, one can only assume based on its title, is either about a super team of robot monkeys going to hyperforce, an ongoing hyperforce full of monkey teams of super robots, or a monkey who makes robots, aligns with "Team Hyperforce Go" and also happens to be pre...

This week the randomizer goes back to 2005 to cover that one time the Disney Channel decided to make a movie about the plight of indigenous people, specifically Navajos of New Mexico, torn between tradition and modernity, reliant on a country that destroyed them. Naturally, the main character is a white kid and it ends with an 80s-style bike race. Join Tony Goldmark, Cody Clark, Emily Clark and Je...

This week, for our first episode after our June hiatus, the randomizer takes us all the way back to 2010 to cover an infamous underperforming Jerry Bruckheimer-produced Middle Eastern fantasy epic based on a Ubisoft video game, a film that told audiences, "Come for the whitewashing, stay for the ostrich races!" Join Tony Goldmark, Morgan Funder, Zach Hurst and Cassie Shima as they hold a formal au...

This week, the randomizer chooses a the first episode of a Disney+ original documentary miniseries from last year in which Disney sent a camera crew to New York's prestigious School of American Ballet, and they just kinda pointed their cameras at stuff for a while and then edited it together until it technically counted as television. Riveting. Join Tony Goldmark, Kevin Anderson, Nicholas Bogroff...

This week the randomizer chooses a Disney Channel Original Movie from 2005, that magical year when Disney saw fit to release not one but TWO different movies about teenage figure skaters, and apparently we got the one that wasn't good enough for theaters. Join Tony Goldmark, Sydney Agnew, Madeline Maye and Chris Nebergall as they shrug and say GO FIGURE! Check out my guests' stuff! SYDNEY AGNEW Ko...
