Don Bluth's paleontological take on Bambi thrilled audiences in 1988 and remains a beautifully animated film with a heart as big as a Longneck's.

Hi-ya! We kick back with Josh Covel of the Still Loading podcast to knuckle up with Rocky, Colt, and Tum-Tum on their first adventure.

Mel Brooks' crowning achievement, Blazing Saddles blazed a trail and confronts racism with equal parts ferocious satire and wild cartoon abandon. Writer/comedian/filmmaker Tarik Davis (@tarikrdavis) joins us to celebrate 50 years of this film's uncompromising hilarity and empathy. We are awake, but we are very puzzled.

Part cross-country child road trip, part Nintendo commercial, The Wizard is a time capsule of 1980s nostalgia that holds up better than its corporately calculated premise would suggest.
