Morbius

There’s no cinematic universe safe from the taint of Jared Leto. Yes, we’re aware of how that reads. Is there anything to say about Morbius that hasn’t been said? Probably not.

The Christmas Consultant

There’s not enough Vaseline in the world to blur out the travesty that is The Christmas Consultant.

Father of the Bride

Oh wow, y’all. Some things from the 90s surprisingly hold up, but Father of the Bride may not be one of those things. Toxic masculinity, status quo gender norms, a questionable European accent, and the origin of Girl Math. It’s… a lot. If you need a stark reminder of what early 90s capitalism felt like, good news: it’s here, and it’s prematurely gray.  -Sidekicks!-  - Disney+ tops 150M subscribers: https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/disney-plus-subscribers-150-million-earnings-1235784850   - Disney + and Hulu combined app coming by start of next year: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/disney-hulu-streaming-integration-december-2023-1235641656  - Echo trailer and announcement, all episodes dropping Jan 10 on D+ and Hulu: https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/3/23945203/marvel-echo-disney-plus-hulu-dual-release-date  —- Research and references completed using Wikipedia, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Box Office Mojo, and Disney.Fandom.Com.  ----- We’re bringing hexy back!

Haunted Mansion (2023)

The crypt has bust open and a classic Disney attraction rises from the grave once again - this time with a start studded cast who are just as happy to be there as they are to cash a check. Wow!

Rewind: Muppets Haunted Mansion

Spooky, isn’t? Another ghost from the past, and so soon! Well, the vibrations tell me it was poor planning on our part. But those vibrations are so sensitive because our vacation was pretty dang rejuvenating. That, some editing woes, and Clancy’s sudden work trip means we’re prepping for the upcoming drop of 2023’s Haunted Mansion with a Rewind to Muppet Haunted Mansion! It was an absolute scream, and we hope it gives a glimpse into the future of the Muppet brand rising from the dead.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

In hindsight, The Dawning of the Age of LiLo was perhaps more portentous of the road to come than we may have thought at the time. We’ve never read the book “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” is based on, and this movie certainly doesn’t pique my interest. In fact, the most interesting thing about the movie is the career trajectories of its youngest stars. Some became top dollar talent, some stopped acting entirely. This movie is a question, and the answer is “No.”   AUDIO WARNING: When we mention line dancing, and drop the clip of dance rehearsal and Lola thinking about being a professional, the next clip is Josh shrieking bird noises. It sounds awful because we pulled it from a home cam. We could not pass up the opportunity to share this peek into our lives, but we wanted you to be aware in case you’ve got sensitive eardrums. Or are just a normal person who doesn’t like shriek laughter.   - UH OHHHHH - - Josh was on Jumping the Shuttle!

Rewind: Hamilton

The Hamilton Sing-Along is on Netflix! To celebrate, we’re rewinding back to our extra-long Hamilton episode, featuring Gillian Pensavalle of The Hamilcast and True Crime Obsessed!    We gush about the turntable, the costumes, the voices. We dissect to the best of our ability the few musical themes we could spot. We talk (briefly and naively) about the show being an entryway into more in-depth learning and critical thinking of the founding fathers. And even after all that - we bring on the one and only Gillian Pensavalle and gush even more about having the show whenever we want it for the low, low price of $6.99 a month.   - Have you read this? - - “Correcting Hamilton,” The Harvard Gazette: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2016/10/correcting-hamilton/ - “In ‘The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda,’ Ishmael Reed Revived an Old Debate,” The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/in-the-haunting-of-lin-manuel-miranda-ishmael-reed-revives-an-old-debate - The Washington Post speaks with the Cabinet about Helpless/Satisfied: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/theater_dance/one-key-scene-helped-cement-hamilton-as-a-broadway-legend-the-team-that-crafted-it-explains-how/2018/11/21/a1dcaba6-e915-11e8-bbdb-72fdbf9d4fed_story.html - Follow the trajectory of The Bullet at DigitalSpy: https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a33022157/hamilton-disney-plus-the-bullet-explained/ —- Research and references completed using Wikipedia, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Box Office Mojo, and Disney.Fandom.Com.  ----- People who can get pregnant have a right to safe and legal abortions, for any reason.

Underdog

There’s really not much to say about Disney’s ‘Underdog.’ And that’s not a cliché. We literally ran out of things to say. Or perhaps more accurately, we ran out of interest in finding things to say.

The New Mutants

There really isn’t a whole lot to say about The New Mutants that we don’t cover in less time than they did. There’s easily about a podcast’s length of plot that was left on the cutting room floor.

Smart House

If you step back really far, about 20 years back or so, you can why Smart House exists. Not exactly a star turn or a career maker for anyone involved, though Katy Sagal gives us an amazing, terrifying,  Proto-Tarunga Leela meets Theranos Beta dressed up as Small Wonder. It’s no wonder it tops so many lists when it features a giant scary robot woman. “Step on me, Mommy!” is a more common thought than we may feel comfortable admitting.  But that is a different podcast altogether.  - Sugar Bursties- - The Ringer - what the movie got right/wrong: https://www.theringer.com/movies/2019/6/19/18686827/smart-house-disney-artificial-intelligence-katey-sagal   - Streaming, Streamed, Strumed - Wired on the Day Streaming Died: https://www.wired.com/story/hbo-max-netflix-disney-plus-day-streaming-died/ - Ackroyd and Curtain doing weekend update: https://youtu.be/c91XUyg9iWM -  Simpsons House Sweepstakes: https://www.famouscampaigns.com/2021/01/an-exact-replica-of-the-simpsons-family-home-was-built-by-kaufman-broad-for-pepsi-raffle/ - Runaways has runaway from Disney+: https://collider.com/marvel-runaways-removed-from-hulu/ - Full list of removed content: https://gizmodo.com/disney-plus-hulu-removals-full-list-1850482457 - Amanda Seyfried is everything: https://youtu.be/1RHY9-35KwA —- Research and references completed using Wikipedia, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Box Office Mojo, and Disney.Fandom.Com.  ----- People who can get pregnant have a right to safe and legal abortions, for any reason.

The Shaggy DA

Trust us, we’re not barking up the wrong tree, despite being inspired to watch 1976’s “The Shaggy DA” from TikTok.

Strange World is an odd duck. It’s trying too hard, but not for the reasons the comments on Rotten Tomatoes would have you think. It’s a bit cliche to blame the failure of a charmer on lack of confidence from the studio (read: marketing budget), but we think that’s the case here. While Josh liked it more than Clancy did, there are a number of things we agree on: it’s gorgeous, Dennis Quaid is a remarkable VO actor, and it’s only “inappropriate for children” if you’ve taught your children to be bigots.  - It’s Pando-monium! - - Strange World is suddenly popular almost as if people were interested but didn’t know much about it: https://screenrant.com/strange-world-disney-plus-streaming-viewership-number-one/  - Zendaya is Meechee, a History: https://www.vox.com/2018/9/25/17901216/zendaya-is-meechee-smallfoot-meme-gabriel-gundacker  - “Queer Kids, Nerds and Sword Fights: It’s the Hot School Play.” The NYTimes review of https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/02/theater/she-kills-monsters-qui-nguyen.html  - A discussion about the animation and design of the film Josh should have read before recording: https://www.awn.com/animationworld/disneys-strange-world-epic-adventure-grand-style  - Heathers, which features three titular characters and not four, and has also been turned into a musical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5gHF3FNr78   - There’s literally no reason not to make the Primal Outpost game instead of yet another version of Villainous: https://www.polygon.com/23521408/strange-world-card-game-magic-the-gathering  - “Oh, the fracking?” Explainer: https://www.pride.com/comedy/2020/4/01/bob-peppermint-screaming-about-rupauls-fracking-now-meme  ----- Research and references completed using Wikipedia, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Box Office Mojo, and Disney.Fandom.Com.  ----- People who can get pregnant have a right to safe and legal abortions, for any reason.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

We say this a lot and we’re certain no one listens, but you don’t need to see The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. Net-net, you’re better off watching a live recording of the ballet with some mulled wine and a some of Santa’s *special* cookies because this… this is just a tragedy. And it’s a CHRISTMAS movie. It defies belief.  Oh and apparently “I’m the King of the Castle” is a nursery rhyme and we’d just never heard it? Shrug emoji.  - Clever girl! - Here’s a televised version of the ballet starring Macauly Culkin and narrated by Kevin Kline that we’ve never seen but is probably more delightful  than this: https://www.hulu.com/movie/the-nutcracker-28fc1abe-44a0-4a37-a952-166bd976eb1d  The system is down!

Pinocchio (2022)

It’s hard to imagine a more disturbing take on Pinocchio after the 1940 animated film. The coachman? The smoke monsters? The body horror of becoming a donkey? Horrifying. Effective, even, as the cautionary tale it was.  But this? Literal nightmare fuel. And not just Tom Hanks’ attempt at an Italian accent. There’s also the screaming souls of the damned in the cuckoo clocks, the anthropomorphic animals everyone is just fine with. Monstro as a kraken. What is happening? Who is this for? Not us. Not you. Let us take the pressure off. Sit back, relax, and try not to think about the lifeless painted eyes of a dead boy’s soul… watching you… wanting to know if someone… anyone… will make him a real boy… -Hi diddley dee!- - Hollywood Reporter covers LucasFilm/Studio Ghibli partnership: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/disney-celebrates-the-mandalorian-anniversary-grogu-short-1235260657/  - M3GAN is here to pop and lock into your heart before ripping it out:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRb4U99OU80  - Josh’s favorite Christmas song is from, no surprise, a Las Vegas lounge legend - Faye McKay's 12 Daze of Christmas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv9brRcMNoI  - If you haven’t seen Schmigadoon!, what ARE you doing?: https://tv.apple.com/us/show/schmigadoon/umc.cmc.1tqmf2znhr4oui4vo69ircyui  - Need a pedantic list of differences between this and the original animated film?

Enchanted

Spoiler Alert: We missed talking about the leather bear. We were so excited to get this out on time that we just skipped right over the actual gayest thing in this movie. It almost warrants a re-record, but who’s got the time for that, much less rewatching Enchanted before you watch the sequel. We’re all busy. Pop in those airpods (are they clean?), hit play, and let’s do some gift wrapping together. Or in our case, frantic packing for an interstate move to a house we’re buying?!   —What’s Not to Like?---  Lucasfilm/Studio Ghibli short, Zen: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/disney-celebrates-the-mandalorian-anniversary-grogu-short-1235260657/ Deep dive into easter eggs on the Enchanted Wiki: https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Enchanted  The link that goes to the Song That Goes Like This: https://open.spotify.com/track/3LwfZ5u7kBI79r8saMvFIb?si=6dab9b33b4854104  Homer’s Phobia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer%27s_Phobia  The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_of_Evergreen_Terrace  ----- Research and references completed using Wikipedia, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Box Office Mojo, and Disney.Fandom.Com.  ----- People who can get pregnant have a right to safe and legal abortions, for any reason.
