Escape From Vault Disney

It's Escape From Vault Disney's 27th episode spectacular, in which Tony joins the hosts of The Weird Al-Phabet podcast to celebrate the work of the one-and-only "Weird Al" Yankovic just in time for his birthday!

Romcoms! What are they? Where do they come from? What do they want from us? On this week's episode, the randomizer goes back to 1995 to pick a semi-remembered example of the much-maligned subgenre, a Sandra Bullock vehicle that really puts the "coma" in "comady!" Join Tony Goldmark, Tim Crist, Kitty Quinn and Luke Ski as they remember all the fun stuff you missed out on WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING!

Y'know, hiring the editor of Apocalypse Now to write and direct an extremely depressing grimdark mid-80s sequel to The Wizard Of Oz loaded with tons of horrifying nightmare-inducing imagery and almost zero connection to the 1939 MGM musical everyone loves might SEEM like a terrible idea... (long pause) so anyway, join Tony Goldmark, Sydney Agnew, Kevin Anderson and Morgan Funder as the almighty ra...

In the spine-tingling conclusion of our very first Patreon Request Month, we cover Kenneth Hodgins and Patrick Thatcher's request for one of Disney's most notorious cult classics, a whiz-bang retro action spectacle from 1991 that truly had everything...except an audience.

Patreon Request Month just keeps chuggin' along with Justin Wilton's request for the 2003 remake of the unforgettable classic story that dared to ask the bold cinematic question, "What if person was other person?" Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Kyle Kallgren as they wake up on FREAKY FRIDAY (2003)!

Patreon Request Month marches on with Matthew Bogatz's request for this weird, misbegotten relic from Disney's very brief and extremely regrettable period when they unaccountably tried to be Dreamworks. Ever wanted to see a film with aliens, baseball, talking farm animals, 70s pop songs, ugly-ass half-rendered animation, lots and lots of pee jokes AND the guy from Scrubs in it? Well look no furthe...

Patreon Request Month continues with Alex the Azurath's request for a randomly-selected episode of the less-successful animated series from the creators of Phineas & Ferb, Milo Murphy's Law, starring none other than the one-and-only "Weird Al" Yankovic in the titular role! And the random selection in question is a very-bizarre-even-for-this-show two-part episode about time travel and mutant pistac...

In our last episode before we take a coronavirus-related hiatus, and the only episode of "Patreon Request Month" we managed to record before everything went on lockdown, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1940 to pick Lizzy Gravelle's request for Walt Disney's second full-length animated classic, a movie simultaneously far better and way weirder than you remember. Join Tony Goldmark, Chandler...

Did you know that in 1991, Disney distributed a Norwegian pirate movie? We sure didn't, until the randomizer picked it for this week's episode and gave us all an excuse to attempt borderline-offensive exaggerated Scandinavian accents! Join Tony Goldmark, Kevin Anderson, Zach Hurst and Chris Nebergall as they get SHIPWRECKED!

Summer camp! What is it? Where did it come from? What does it want from us? This week the randomizer picks the final episode of a 2018 Disney Channel reality TV series designed to answer none of these probing questions. Join Tony Goldmark, Kevin Anderson, Zach Hurst and Chris Nebergall as they drink a tall frosty glass of BUG JUICE: MY ADVENTURES AT CAMP, episode sixteen, "Best Summer Ever!"

In 1996, the acclaimed Oscar-winning auteur behind The Godfather and Apocalypse Now saw fit to direct a PG-13 Robin Williams comedy about a ten-year-old trapped in the body of a forty-year-old. What could possibly go wrong? Join Tony Goldmark, Kevin Anderson, Zach Hurst and Chris Nebergall as they endure the existential nightmare that is JACK!

It was bound to happen eventually: the randomizer, in its infinite wisdom, has chosen a NatGeo documentary, and a particularly slow and boring one at that. But boy oh boy, it sure does have a lotta pretty slow-motion footage of animals to fall asleep to. Join Tony Goldmark, Alessandra Dreyer, David Ganssle and Nicholas Bogroff Ganssle as we apprehensively venture INTO THE OKAVANGO!

Join Tony Goldmark, Alessandra Dreyer, David Ganssle and VERY special guest JENNY NICHOLSON(!!!) as we indulgently listen to FRANK AND OLLIE!

What happens when a Nicktoon becomes a Disneytoon? Apparently they run out of ideas and say "Screw it, it's a superhero show now." This week the randomizer picks a 1999 episode of the show that inexplicably had "Brand Spankin' New" in its title at one point! Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Morgan Funder as they say hello to DOUG, season three (technically seven), epi...

What if Lizzy McGuire was also Tyler Durden AND Killer Frost? This week the randomizer goes back to 2006 (a magical long-forgotten era when some people apparently DIDN'T always want the whole world to read every last thought that fell out of their skulls) and chooses another Disney Channel original movie, this one about a high school girl whose diary goes viral (diaral?) and becomes semi-sentient....

The movie's called "Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge" and Kalabar's not in it. And, it all goes downhill from there. This week Tony teams up with The "Weird Al" Phabet podcast as the randomizer sadistically and unseasonally chooses the inexplicable 2001 sequel to a fondly-remembered Disney Channel original movie. Join Tony Goldmark, Andrew Frola, Michael Hunter, Daniel Kawka and David Spencer a...
