This week we try and warm up with the coldest jukebox musical: Happy Feet. It's got dancing penguins, slick covers, and a whole lotta snow and ice.

Rabbit Season! Duck Season! OPEN SEASON! We hop in our trucks and go the hunting grounds presented in Open Season, starring Martain Lawrence and Ashton Kucher, to see if this movie holds up against the test of time. As one of the first movies presented by Sony Animation, this was technically the start of what we know now as an animation powerhouse. Is this movie as funny as its leads are? Or shoul...

Blue Skidoo, we can too (maybe). This week, we hunt for paw prints in the feature-length adventure of Josh, Blue, Steve, Joe, and all your favorite household items as they romp through New York City! The nostalgia is real with this one, but is it enough to make for a worthwhile ride for the whole family? Hit play and find out! Leave us a voice message by going to https://anchor.fm/moonstreet...

Okay. No, we don't like the Zombies movies from Disney. But, when we saw that they were finishing their trilogy, we thought we HAD to see how they wrapped it all up. And boy oh boy...well, listen to find out what we thought.  Leave us a voice message by going to  https://anchor.fm/moonstreet Questions or Comments?

What happens when you combine Dwayne Johnson, the DC Universe, and a bald guinea pig with abandonment issues? DC League of Super-Pets! We sit down with the latest animated superhero offering, as well as discuss most things DC. Does it soar with the greats, or  does it go down like a dog bowl full of kryptonite?

We kick off 2023 with Disney Animation's latest outing - Strange World. This movie came out during the holiday hustle and bustle, but a movie about family seemed like the perfect thing to get us started after our time away. Does this movie deliver Sci-fi splendor? Or do we find more joy here on this planet? Leave us a voice message by going to  https://anchor.fm/moonstreet Questions or Commen...

Holly Jolly Extravanganza AND this season come to a close with the Apple TV+ original movie, Spirited, starring Will Ferrell and one of the Ryans. It's a modern take on a classic Christmas tale and we're here to tell you if it's worth your precious time during this holiday season. Does this earn a spot in the cherished family holiday movie lineup, or is it a ghost best left forgotten? Hit play and...

Wanna talk about classics? This movie feels like one of those Christmas movies that has staying power beyond belief. It airs several time throughout the season, the song - that came before the movie - is ingrained in the heads and hearts of millions. But, as we have seen before, just because something is tradition doesn't mean it is any good. Find out if we think this movie should light up your sc...

The Holly Jolly Extravaganza continues! Special guest, and friend of the show, Annie joins us as we carol our way through the long-awaited (?) Christmas Story sequel to catch up on all your old favorite characters and moments from the timeless classic. Is this new film a worthy successor, or did it go down like a fresh bar of soap in the mouth? Hit play and find out!

We kick off this year's Holly Jolly Extravaganza with the 1994 Disney movie, The Santa Clause. We both remember the first time we saw Tim Allen become the Big Guy, and we wanted to know if this movie was still filled with Christmas cheer. With a new series out on Disney +, how much of the magic from this movie is pure holiday nostalgia? Is this movie actually a lump of coal? Hang out with us and f...

This week, we nod off and hang with Jason Momoa in Slumberland - based off the 1900s comic strip. It's a visual feast for the eyes, no doubt, but was all that Netlfix money worth the spend? Is this a dream of a family film, or is it the stuff of nightmares? Hit play and find out!

As we move through the seasons, we are SMACK DAB in the middle of FOOTBALL SEASON! So, we decided it was time to come back to a classic from our childhood. Little Giants was a movie that was a touchdown when we were little. Is it a fumble in 2022? Let's find out together!  Leave us a voice message by going to  https://anchor.fm/moonstreet Questions or Comments? Email us at grownmenwks@gm...

We close out Spooktacular with a brand new Netflix original: Wendell and Wild! It's the creepy collab between Henry Selick and Jordan Peele (Key's there too), and we're here to tell you if it's a Trick or a Treat. Does the stop-motion goodness and unique story make for a ghostly good time, or should it have stayed below ground? As always, hit play and find out! Leave us a voice message by going to...

The spooky movies continue as we tap into this new one from Netflix. The Curse of Bridge Hollow is rated TV-14, so keep that in mind as you think about if you should watch it with your kids or not. The question we have with this small-town-struck-by-the-paranormal story is, does it leap to life on our TVs? Or is this one that you should keep locked away, never to open? Leave us a voice message by...

Dracula, Werewolves, and Mummies Oh My! We check in to Hotel Transylvania (2012) for the second episode of Spooktacular, and hang with all your old favorites from both the Universal Monster lineup and the Happy Madison roster.

It is time for another Spooktacular and we are kicking it off in style with Hocus Pocus 2. We all know the original has cemented itself in the traditions of many people. That also means that this movie has a lot to live up to. How do the Sanderson Sisters perform after such a long time away? Can this movie cast a spell on a whole new generation of Halloween fans? Or should this coven stay in the n...

Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? This week, we dish on the latest family movie from our friends/enemies at Apple TV. It's got Scottish/British cats, a lovelorn dragon voiced by Jane Fonda, Leprechauns minus the cereal, and a whole whole lot of green. Did we dig it? Did we not? Is it worth your time?

A puppet trying to become a real boy. Haven't we heard this story before? This 2022 Live-Action remake is just one in the long line of Disney's attempts to force new life into these old IPs. Does this movie do the job of making this wooden boy dance? Or is it another flat attempt to retell a story they should have just left alone? Find out in this week's episode!  Leave us a voice message by...

We buckle up and hit the gas for a nostalgic trip with Goofy, Max, and Pauly Shore. Is it as electrifying as we remember it, or did the whole thing keep us under its thumb? Press play and find out!

We all love a good adaptation. Diary of a Wimpy Kid hit bookshelves in 2007 and since then, over a dozen books in the series have been published. Disney has even dedicated time to creating all of the books into animated movies. But, we are looking at the OG of adaptations for this franchise, the live-action take on this picture book/novel hybrid. Is this movie one that will bring people into the f...

To Infinity and...a pointless origin story that required way too much set-up for very little payoff? That's what we thought going into Lightyear, but is it our final take? You'll just have to hit play and find out if Pixar's latest shot landed among the stars or crashed and burned. "And just to be clear, this isn't Buzz Lightyear the toy. This is the origin story of the human Buzz Lightyear that t...

The ocean is filled with scary and misunderstood things. Large things. And, as The Sea Beast shows, we have to be careful where we get our information. This movie that is only on Netflix swam into the conversation this year. It has mostly positive reviews, but we have often disagreed with what the masses have said. So, we decided to set sail with those who kill the beasts that haunt the sea to "se...

Camp Hope was supposed to be the best damn summer of little Gerry's life, but went topsy-turvy real quick. We revisit this cult classic from our youth to see  if it's still sweet as candy. Does it Perkisize the senses, or does it sink faster than when Lars impaled The Blob? Hit play and find out! Leave us a voice message by going to  https://anchor.fm/moonstreet Questions or Comments?

Crooks. Villans. Bad Guys. The characters are what fuel movies for us. Especially family movies. Dreamworks makes us ask, "what about them?"
