Or does this movie need to stay at home alone? We find out with a GUEST HOST on the podcast who is an avid listener! This is one of our favorite episodes to date, so come on in and find out if the Christmas magic is trapped insi...

We all love dogs. (Just agree with us here.) And what is better than a big 'ole red one? Clifford The Big Red Dog has stumbled his giant feet into the hearts of millions. With a book series and a TV show, why wouldn't a movie make sense? In an attempt to make a new generation fall in love with Clifford, this new film takes a big swing at that. But, is the heart of this movie as large as the pup? O...

Stop motion is one of our favorite things here at GMWKS. And we also love family comedies. So, we figured Missing Link from Laika studios would be a home run. But, we find ourselves at a crossroads. We have disagreed on films before but this one felt different. It had everything both of us like, but how come we didn't both like it? Find out what was missing for one of us and what the other found t...

Ah yes, the story of Peter Pan. But not like you have ever seen before! This movie has flying, and fighting, and airplanes shooting at pirate ships that are in the sky. As this film gives us an origin story of the Boy Who Won't Grow Up, we question if this pixie needed an origin story at all. Still, we think our happy thoughts and fly into our conversation around Pan! Leave us a voice message by g...

We continue with our spooky season selections as we dive into Halloweentown! This was one of Disney Channels' first original movies and boy, oh boy, does it hold a special place in many people's hearts. From the Giant Pumpkin in the middle of town to the wacky characters that fill the movie, there is something about this movie that captures the hearts of TONS of Halloween fans hearts. But, is it t...

We wrap up this season of Halloween movies with the mocap animated film from the mind of Dan Harmon; Monster House! This movie skirts the line between PG and PG-13 in its jokes and in its horror. Does it push it too far into adult terror? Or does it stay safe enough for you to watch with your family on the night where all the ghosts and ghouls come out? Come on in and find out! We won't bite...mwa...

Spooky season is almost over but it isn't yet! Disney+ hit us with a new Muppets special JUST in time for Trick or Treating. Muppet specials hold a very specific place in the childhood of many. The Muppets have been trying to find their footing in a modern media landscape. Does this special give them a foothold in the contemporary zeitgeist? Or is this just a phoned in puppet show that is riding o...

It's that time of year again for our SPOOKTACULOR! This year, we start with the stop motion animated movie PARANORMAN!

In 1999 the story of a tiny mouse being adopted by a human family hit the big screen and it took people by storm. This first movie spurred 2 additional films and a short-lived TV show. The weirdness of humans taking mice on as children aside, does this movie steal our heart? Or is it just a cheesy (get it?) film not worth the calories anymore? Come with us and find out!  Leave us a voice mess...

England has no king, Merlin has magic, and this Disney cartoon has a space in the hearts of millions. Thousands? Hundreds? You know, we aren't sure how many people think about this movie on a regular basis but we wanted to give this magical trip to England a go.

After a brief break, we are back with a brand new episode. This week, we take on VIVO on Netflix. A computer-animated movie that is fueled by the music of Lin-Manuel Miranda. Does this modern musical genius help this film hit the right chords? Or does it fall flat like you singing in the shower? The easy way to find out is to listen to this week's episode!  Leave us a voice message by going t...

We goin' to the Southland to New Orleans in the 1920s to watch one of the movies that bonded Jordan and TJ early on. The last of the traditionally animated movies by Disney (so far), The Princess and The Frog was monumental for multiple reasons. While this movie has been criticized and given its fair share of commentary, is it still worth exposing new audiences to? Does it hold up? Or should you h...

Welcome BACK to the Jam! In one of the most anticipated family movie releases in years, Space Jame: A New Legacy has bounced into movie theaters and homes across the country. Lebron James takes the place of Michael Jordan in this continuation of the Space Jam franchise. But, instead of the toons being the only ones in trouble, all of humanity might be...or at least people who looked at their phone...

A world that was once filled with dragons is now filled with nothing but stone reminders of the people who used to inhabit it. The darkness has come again and a NEW Disney Princess must save everyone from certain doom. She just needs the help of a dragon that people aren't sure even exists anymore. Sounds epic, yeah? Does Raya and The Last Dragon live up to that? Do we have the birth of a classic...

It's raining like magic in this classic animated film. I mean, what could go wrong in a movie about a rainforest in somewhere Australia with Robin Williams playing a bat, Tone Loc as a lizard, fairies, a SEXY smoke monster, magic, musical numbers...wait...there is a heck of a lot in this movie. Some might say too much. Is this movie any good? Or were we just swept up in the 90s cartoon movie lie o...

Since the start of the pandemic, Pixar movies have hit Disney+ and we thought that Luca might hit the big screen. But, as we saw with Soul, Pixar movies on a streaming service doesn't mean that the quality is any less than what we expect from the studio. Does the hot streak with Pixar continue in this tale of two boys in a small town in Italy during one magical summer...who happen to be sea monste...

We have reached the end of JUNE-manji with the most recent film in the franchise, Jumanji: The Next Level. With this being the first movie in the series with repeating characters and a continued storyline, does it play well with what the other movies have established? How does entering the same world affect the storytelling? Is there more Nick Jonas in this one? IS IT WORTH YOUR TIME?! You can fin...

We are now in the current era of Jumanji films with Welcome to the Jungle! *Cue Music*. With this feeling like a more direct sequel, we wonder if it holds up and captures the imagination of kids today. Or adults today. Who is this movie for? SO MANY QUESTIONS! We answer them all this week as JUNE-manji continues!  Leave us a voice message by going to  https://anchor.fm/moonstreet Check u...

You ever wonder what Jumanji in space would be like? Well, you don't have to wonder because Zathura exists! Before Jon Favreau took on Iron Man and set the course of the MCU, he tackled a movie about a board game that blasts some kids off into space. In the line of Jumanji films takes a crazy turn in this installment about brotherhood, robots, and lizard people. Join us as we blast off for this wa...

We kick off JUNE-manji with the OG movie starring Robin Williams. This a-game-will-kill-you classic became a cultural moment when the film hit theaters in 1995. While this went on to spawn both Zathura and the recent Jumani films, was it actually a good movie? Was the 90's just a fever dream where monkeys coming out of board games was logical and we all bought in? Or does this movie actually still...

Seems like family issues have gone back as far as pre-history in The Croods. This 2013 Dreamworks film has a ton of style, but does it have any substance? Does this movie rock? Or is it like pushing a boulder up a mountain? Most importantly, is Jordan a hunter or a gatherer? Find out the answers to this and more as we talk about The Croods!  Leave us a voice message by going to  https://...

GMWKS has decided to dig into the House of Mouse and pull out some of the oldies! We are starting with The Fox and The Hound. This 1981 animated film takes holds a special place in the hearts of both hosts, so we were a bit worried about taking it on first. Does it hold up to what we remember? Are little Tod and Copper the totems of friendship we thought they were? Or were the fond memories just t...

Arrrrr! Shiver me timbers and all of that stuff! We take our time to go to the Pirate Cove of Never-Neverland and follow Robin Williams in a seminal movie of the 90s. Does this film hold up to the feeling of wonder that we once had for it? Do we think kids these days will be screaming RUFIO after watching this? Or does this film miss the pixie dust it once had? Find out as we take on HOOK!  L...
