Monoreel Radio

This week, we review and discuss the cult classic, "The Rocketeer". Why did this film bomb at the box office? Should it have been a bigger hit? Are we ever going to get a sequel? How do we think this will work at a Disney Junior show? Should we still be allowed to go to Walt Disney World since we don't have kids? All of this and more this week on Monoreel Radio.

Be prepared to discuss this Disney classic with us this week. We delve into the history of the Walt Disney Company leading up to the release of "The Lion King", as well as review and discuss the film in totality.

The toys are back in town and we can't wait to talk about them! This much anticipated sequel came out in 1999, but does it feel stuck in there? How does it compare to the original? Does this answer all of the questions we had following the first film, or does this leave us asking more? Where does this one rank in terms of Disney sequels? We discuss all of that as well as the new Frozen 2 trailer t...

Dustin? Destiny? Dastan?  Whatever the case may be, this week we discuss "Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time".

All of this and more this week on Monoreel Radio.

It's a whole new world this week Monoreel Radio. In preparation for the release of yet another live action remake, we review 1992's "Aladdin".

Vegas baby... a very big baby. This week, we review and discuss "Honey, I Blew Up The Kid". Does this film do the first one justice? Is it even necessary? Does it fill in any plot holes? Is Sean's prediction for the star of the reboot accurate? All of this and more this week on Monoreel Radio.

This week, we cut French Class to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Disney's Hollywood Studios (it will always be MGM), and discuss one of the biggest Disney staples from our childhood, Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. The park once housed an entire land dedicated to this film, but now, it's hardly represented in the Disney Parks at all. What is Big Russ Thompson saying? Is the film a product of it's tim...

If the shoe fits, we'll talk about it. This week, we review and discuss 1950's "Cinderella".

Has Johnny Depp's accent improved? What the futterwhacken is going on? Find out on this week's episode of Monoreel Radio. 

Curiouser and curiouser. Last week, we discussed Disney’s classic Alice from 1951 and concluded that we like it, even though we’re not sure why because it doesn’t make sense. This week, we examine Disney’s shot at redemption, with Tim Burton’s 2011 live action Alice in Wonderland. Is it a better adaptation? What do we think of Johnny Depp’s accent and all of the CGI? All this and more on Monoreel...

Down the rabbit hole we go. This week, we review and discuss the 1951 Disney classic, "Alice In Wonderland". This film has been applauded for its outstanding animation, but also at times criticized for having too many cooks in the kitchen. Does this film age well, or do you have to be mad as a hatter to understand it? Plus, blue Will Smith. All of that and more this week on Monoreel Radio.

Where did all of the music go? This week, we review and discuss the 2016 remake of "Pete's Dragon".
