This is it. The one that started it all. Disney’s first foray into moviemaking, and the first full-length animated movie ever produced. And it has way more music than you remember. Most of it is bad. Important questions: Is the Evil Queen a stealth feminist icon? Why is the prince so weird, and why does his song suck so much? D-did Snow White ascend into heaven at the end? The music we used is Hom...

We’ve done it. It’s over. We killed the franchise. This is a return to form, imaginary readers. This movie? It’s bad. In fact, it’s mostly nonsense. And we watched it. On purpose. ...

Is Jean-Bob proof that a merciful god does not exist? Discuss. Will this be our penultimate Swan Princess episode? I will not lie, the concept excites me. This is a movie mostly about Derek’s terrible mother, and it’s somehow one of the best in the series. Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley . Find us on the Internet!

Happy Holidays! Let’s celebrate with the most morose Christmas movie we could find! Well, the most morose movie with Muppets, at least. And really, what says Christmas like abject poverty?

Everybody wants to be a cat. But not these cats, specifically. Other, cooler cats, who do stuff.* *This opinion not necessarily endorsed by the podcast as a whole. Programming note: Tony was losing his voice and also his mic was acting up, so his audio isn't perfect quality. Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley . Find us on the Internet!

Hard to call this one “a romp,” but it might be fun, if you can get over the cat murder. And, uh, the onscreen cat sex. And the casual homophobia. Oh, and the original writer went full “concentration camp” later in life. Got some wacky dream sequences, though! Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley . Find us on the Internet!

Yes, that’s really the title. No, none of the writing in the movie is better than that title. No, none of the acting is, either. This movie might actually be a crime against good taste, dinosaurs in general, and James Gurney specifically. Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley . Find us on the Internet!

This might be the most tv-episode style movie we’ve seen since Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. Buzz didn’t bring all this romantic tension, though. Those mice are down to clown.

We watch good movies and bad movies for this podcast, but so rarely do we watch a movie that’s straight-up depressing!  But also kind of funny? It’s a strange film, I don’t know what to tell you.

Heads up on this one: Tony accidentally recorded this on the wrong microphone, so his audio is a bit muffled. Still better than our early episodes, but not peak performance. Are you ready for the worst sequel movie we’ve ever seen? A movie where we legitimately wanted the main character to die? A movie that killed Allan-a-Dale!? You’ve got to listen to the end to get that last joke. This is called...

Back to Bluth! Is that anything? It doesn't feel like anything, but I'm writing stream-of-consciousness today, so I'm not changing it. What IS the secret of NIMH? Why is there a terrifying necromancer-coded owl? Will little Timmy survive!? Find out. Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley . Find us on the Internet!

Finally, we watch a movie that asks the big question: how should a framed portrait of your arch nemesis be displayed in your home? Probably other questions were asked, something about Sherlock Holmes and the Disney renaissance and politicians being replaced by robots, but I think we can all agree that this is the important one.

The absolute gall of this movie to use Roman numerals. We’ve done something we swore we would never do, and finally watched the third Balto movie.

Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s the rest of our Halloween episode. Look, we have to do something like this every year or the Krampus will get us. We really enjoyed talking about Haunted Halloween, but that doesn’t stop a near complete emotional breakdown by the end of the episode. So, keep your ears out for that!

I’ll say it, listener: you don’t have to beware. You are not, in fact, in for a scare. We talk about Goosebumps, and only one of us has read Goosebumps books! Is Jack Black engaging enough to draw Tony in when he has no context for what’s going on, or is this movie just for the true fans? Meanwhile, Andy provided the footnotes on all the monsters, and we thank him for that.  Our theme music i...

I still think “Two Dogs Go to Hell” would have been a better title. I really like this one. We lose our minds a little bit, and the tangents are top tier, ranging from rhino songs to catholic holidays to finding out popular guide dog breeds. Oh, we also talk about a movie.

You can tell that a movie is weird when the episode is almost two hours long.

Yeah, that... that's a weirdly placed exclamation point. Do you know who else uses exclamation points? Tim Curry! (Perfect segue.) We get a lot of good stuff from this move: a small town that tries and fails to be sinister, Scooby and Shaggy being gluttons to a truly unpleasant degree, and the Hex Girls! One of them is one-sixteenth wiccan. This is an important plot point. Our theme music is Homew...

We've never managed a Halloween episode, and we're not starting now! Join us on a terrifying island where the zombies are the least of your problems! Listen to Andy's Scooby-Doo impression! Gasp out loud at the monster reveal! Consider that there are more confederate soldiers than strictly necessary for this kind of film. Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley .
