Summer time makes us think of two things: Camps and Rocks. We watched this Disney Channel original movie from 2008 so you don't have to - or maybe you already did. Are the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato enough to make this summer camp rock our world, or does it take a massive stage dive? Hit play and find out!

Who remembers The Pagemaster ? That movie that took the kid from Home Alone and made him a cartoon in a library with Gandolf The Grey-Bookmark. That one? Well, TJ sure did and he pushed for this film hard. While it was a financial flop, it still had a video game adaptation, some toys, and captured the imaginations of a generation once it hit VHS. But, the question we ask now is, should we dust off...

When crimes goes slippin' through the cracks, these two gumshoes are pickin' up the slack! We sat down with the new Chip 'n Dale to see if it lived up to what we think we remember from our childhood (it's all a Tailspin). Is it so good it makes you see double, or is it nothin' but grey skies and trouble? Hit play and find out! Leave us a voice message by going to https://anchor.fm/moonstreet...

We wrap up June Booty with a dive into one of the most famous pirate movies in contemporary media. What started out as a ride in Disney parks has become what many people see as the ultimate pirate franchise. The Curse of the Black Pearl was the start of it all. But does this movie still hold up? Does the treasure we found in 2003 hold up still? Or should this be a movie that is buried under the sa...

June Booty sails along with the 80s cult classic, The Goonies! A lot of you swashbucklers swear by this movie, so we braced for rough waters ahead to give it our honest take. Is it a truffle shuffle of a good time, or should it have just said 'die'? Hit play and find out! Leave us a voice message by going to  https://anchor.fm/moonstreet Questions or Comments?

June Booty continues with the 2011 film The Adventures of Tintin. Directed by Steven Spielberg, this movie went under our radar, but it apparently made a big splash when it came out. With beautiful visuals and a story rooted in old Tintin comics, this movie is by far one of the more unique 3D animated movies we have seen. But unique doesn't necessarily mean good. Does this movie live up to the Ste...

"Arrrr, it's JUNE BOOTY me hearties!" We kick off pirate movie month with the OG Peter Pan from 1953. The movie that gave us one of the most recognizable pirate characters of all time. Is it a journey filled with shiny treasures and catchy shanties, or does it sink to the depths of Davy Jones' Locker? Hit play and find out, ye scalawags!

We are wrapping up a month full of musicals with one that is a little harder to find. Cats Don't Dance is an original movie musical that changed course halfway through development and the movie we have now is one that TJ flocked to as a kid. But is it good? Why hasn't anyone heard of this movie? Natalie Cole sings in it! Isn't that enough? For most people, most likely not. But Randy Newman wrote t...

Into the woods, then out of the woods, and home before dark? Maybe...if the runtime weren't so long. May Musical Madness continues with the 2014 film adaptation of the Sondheim stage classic. Join us as we embark on a musical movie journey jam-packed with fairytale tropes brought together by the power that is Meryl Streep. Is it a joyous romp through the trees or just plain agony? Hit play and fin...

What's better than magic? Using magic to fight Nazis. That's right! We are talking about Bedknobs and Broomsticks. This Disney Classic musical gives off mad Mary Poppins vibes, but with an edge to it. This is one of those musicals that feels almost swept under the rug. Is that on purpose? Is that proper? Should this movie be part of your musical rotation? Or does this one not cast the right spell....

It's time for MAY MUSICAL MADNESS!!  We kick off our first-ever string of musicals with one that TJ has been waiting for since it was announced: Sing 2! We also have a guest joining us from the podcast This Song Sucks , Josh! Can this sequel capture our hearts again? Or is this just something that should just let the music die? Find out here!

If you remember, we really enjoyed the first Sonic movie. As a matter of fact, a lot of people did. When Sonic 2 was announced, it felt like a no-brainer. But does it actually give the Blue Bomber a decent chance to make a stand? Or does the sophomore slump catch up to the speedy hedgehog? Also, is Idris Elba our new favorite voice actor? So many questions! And we answer them FAST! Grab a chi...

From the world of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, we are given a movie about the next generation of heroes! Netflix is making a run at creating a cinematic universe around this franchise. Is this a strong start for what could be a child-friendly MCU-esque venture? Or should they leave the work to the big named superheroes?  Leave us a voice message by going to  https://anchor.fm/moonstreet Questi...

Ah, the days when Disney was trying REALLY hard to appeal to the male-identifying audience. A company known for their princesses took on one of the most iconic stories, Treasure Island, and made it into a sci-fi story! Does it stand on its own? Why do people stand by this movie? Is it any good? Fly away with us and find out! Leave us a voice message by going to  https://anchor.fm/moonstreet Q...

Disney's Pixar comes at us with the 4th film released since 2020. It is also the first film to have an all-female-led creative team. We've seen the big panda in advertisements, but how does this film about 2002 stack up against the rest of the Pixar Pantheon? Are we going to be singing the praises of this film for years to come? Is this coming-of-age film one that will define childhood for some? C...

We often have movies we think are bad on this podcast. This one takes the cake. We discuss The Tiger Rising and why we think it is a pretty rough experience from tip to tail. This may be one of our shorter episodes, but that doesn't mean you aren't going to get plenty of hot takes from us. Come have a roaring good time with us!

WWE Entertainment has been churning out films with their biggest wrestling stars for a while now. But ones that were made to be family movies? That just seems like a weird fit. But, it might not be as strange as you think it is. This week, we get down on the mat with RUMBLE, an animated film with monsters, Terry Crews, and a city in need of a hero. Does this movie bring the pain? Or is it just pai...

Oh, how many of us have had dreams of flying around the world? What about flying on a giant peach? Well, if you have that rare and very specific dream, we hope that you have seen James and the Giant Peach. A film placed firmly in our childhood, this adaptation is iconic to many people. But, how does it stack up to today's standards? Is this movie still as sweet as we remember it? Or does it leave...

Kevin James stars in this family movie based on true events. The Saints have only won one Superbowl, which was quickly followed by controversy. Pulling from these circumstances, we get Netflix's attempt at a sports film to rival your Little Giants, Mighty Ducks, and so on. Does this football film score a touchdown? Or is it a fumble? Find out on this week's episode as we take on Hometeam. Leave us...

Everyone loves a good mystery. What if we told you that there is a Disney classic that gives families a mystery they can all get behind. Now...what if we told you that it was really about a small group of mice trying to save all of Mousedom in England? You might think we were crazy. How about you come along with us as we investigate The Great Mouse Detective.  Leave us a voice message by goin...

We have all gotten lost in a good book. But, what if you actually got LOST in a book? Well, that's not what happens in The Neverending Story. All sorts of stuff goes down. There is a luck dragon, the Nothing, a dude riding a snail, and a horse...I won't speak of the horse here. This movie is considered a classic. Does it retain that status? Or should the book forever be closed on this movie? Leave...

Chuck on your uggies and tracky dacks, wrap your laughing gear round a tinnie from the esky, and weg out with us with a true-blue dinky-di Strayan bogan bush yarn from out the back of buggery.  What'd youse reckon? Is Back to the Outback mintox? Or rooted? Give us a coo-ee and deadset let us know if this has Buckley's of being watched again.

New studio on the block Locksmith Animation snuck this one in near the end of 2021. With a little robot mascot and a weird distribution deal, this film is doing its best to make a mark on the family entertainment industry. Does this one connect with us? Or is it running on a low battery? Find out on this episode!  Leave us a voice message by going to  https://anchor.fm/moonstreet Questio...

For the last episode of the season, we take on the Christmas movie Netflix has been putting in our face for weeks now. And no, it isn't Single All The Way (although TJ really likes that one.) A Boy Called Christmas feels like an attempt to catch the Jingle Jangle power in a bottle. It also serves as an origin story for good 'ole Father Christmas. The question is, like with all new Christmas movies...
