The Black Case Diaries Movie/TV Podcast

When we think of a Disney Animated Classic, the same movies tend to come to mind (for example, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, and Aladdin.) With as many as 57 movies that fit this category, it's only natural that some films will fall to the wayside. This week, we ranked our favorite somewhat-forgotten Disney Animated classics. We didn't choose the MOST forgotten, just our favorites that tend to b...

Premiering in Canada on October 31st 1990, "Are You Afraid of the Dark" was a horror anthology series for children created by DJ MacHale. It aired on Nickelodeon until 1996 (before a soft reboot in 1999) and followed a group of kids that gathered once a week to tell stories. They referred to themselves as "The Midnight Society." With stories that ranged from terrifying to downright silly, this sho...

The Super Bowl is the biggest night in American sports. People all over the country gather to watch and eat junk food as two teams battle for the recognition of being the year's best team in American Football. This year, we didn't tune in so much to watch the game, but more to watch the commercials, the Toy Story 4 sneak peak, and above all, an ultimately disappointing halftime show.   We like to...

You can find the list (along with some other examples) Here: https://bit.ly/2U1ufqQ We covered a lot of ground in this episode because it is such a broad topic. We did not discuss everyone and everything that we wanted to, so expect a part II in the...

You know what they say, "If it ain't broke, remake it!" At least, that's how we think the saying goes. From Fuller House to Kim Possible, remakes are the biggest thing around. Studios have learned that just because nostalgia is priceless, it doesn't mean they can't make serious cash from it; and Disney is no exception.  You know what they say, "If it ain't broke, remake it!" At least, that's how w...

Today's episode is about movies that deserve a second chance. We've all seen movies that we don't enjoy and will likely never watch again. But, sometimes we get a second chance to see a movie, and for whatever reason, it was better this time around. What about movies that we enjoy, but no one else seems to? Can you think of a movie that got mixed or bad reviews and you didn't understand why? For t...

On the 175th anniversary of "A Christmas Carol," Adam, Marci, and Robin discuss the many film versions of this Christmas classic. What makes this old tale of redemption so compelling? In our special Christmas episode, we discuss one of the most iconic Christmas stories. Grab a cup of tea (or a glass of wine) and settle in with us as we ask why this story has remained on top after 175 years. If you...
