This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2021 to once again cover a Disney+ original documentary series all about, what a shocker, just how awesome Disney is at doing the things Disney does! This time, it talks about that one time all the countries in the world converged on Flushing Meadows in Queens, and Walt Disney, Pepsi-Cola, the "No Wire Hangers" lady, a team of exhausted overworked Imagineers and of course the songwriters of "Pineapple Princess" all combined efforts to show those...

This week, I'm joined by the hosts of the Channel KRT podcast as the randomizer goes all the way back to 2022 to pick everyone's absolute favorite type of content we cover on this podcast, YET ANOTHER NATGEO SPECIAL! And this one's about those lovable striped predatory carnivores that have graced cereal boxes and early-90s comic strips the world over, tigers! Specifically the tigers native to the vast Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve in Southeast Russia, which are apparently powerful enough to brainw...

Escape From Vault Disney will be back on January 25th with our episode on the NatGeo special Russia's Wild Tiger, but in the meantime, here's a BONUS MINISODE featuring outtakes (caused by different technical difficulties) from the recent chaotic Arendelle Castle Yule Log episode!

This week, for our final Christmas episode of 2022, the randomizer goes back to 2020 to pick a piece of Disney+ original content that continued the grand holiday tradition of the televised Yule Log. Originally devised in 1966 by television executive Fred M. Thrower for New York City's WPIX, for over fifty years now the Yule Log has brought the relaxing, soothing warmth of a crackling seasonal fireplace into countless households without fireplaces of their own. And while the staticity of its very...

This week, for our first of three special Christmas episodes of 2022, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1992 to pick the blockbuster sequel to one of the biggest Christmas smash hits of all time, a heartwarming holiday tale set in the Big Apple, complete with all the staples of a Merry Christmas: family, Christmas trees, toy stores, generosity, school pageants, travel complications, chronic abandonment, homelessness, fireworks, bodily injury, lifesize plastic skeletons, Hitchcockian bird a...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2016 to pick exactly what all my most dedicated listeners tune in to this podcast to hear, ANOTHER DAMN NATGEO SHOW! For the second week in a row. Hey, don't thank the randomizer, it's just doing its very stupid job. This particular NatGeo show is a reality show all about the veterinarians working at a Florida animal hospital that specializes in caring for exotic animals, which basically means "literally any animal that can fit through the door ...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2020 to pick one of the roughly nine zillion NatGeo documentaries on Disney+ all about sharks! Yes, sharks, those oft-maligned predators of the deep who were the subject of exactly one really good movie almost fifty damn years ago and the general public is still inexplicably fascinated with them, even though unless you're a fish, you're statistically more likely to get killed by a falling vending machine than a shark. So I guess the real questio...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2022 to pick a Disney+ original movie about a precocious young theater kid named Nate who, despite the movie title, does not find himself locked in fierce gladiatorial combat with an inferior precocious young theater kid named Ever. It's about Nate pursuing an impossible dream of sweating in a hot mascot suit for two hours under hot theater lights while the overpaying tourists don't even get to see his face. Along the way he goes viral on TikTok...

Yeah, I know this isn't a Disney+ movie, but screw it, this is my podcast and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is a movie I've basically been waiting for pretty much all my life. Enjoy the spoiler-free review!

This week, for our (slightly-belated) second Halloween episode of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2021 to cover a DCOM that happens to be a remake of the first DCOM to ever get branded with the official "DCOM" label. It's about a poorly-protected Egyptian mummy who comes back to life, befriends a few kids, appears in a homemade monster movie, stars in a viral dance video, runs afoul of antiquity thieves, sticks a remote to the ceiling with honey somehow, accidentally buys too m...

We're still another week away from the Escape From Vault Disney 100th Episode Spectacular, in which we cover Beverly Hills Chihuahua, but in the meantime here's the spine-shattering conclusion of a two-part interview that frequent guest Luke Ski conducted with host Tony Goldmark back in April! We talk about some of the movies on Disney+ that haven't been covered on the show yet, including an extremely lengthy digression on the merits, or lack thereof, of the infamous Cars 2. PLUS! A State of the...

The Escape From Vault Disney 100th Episode Spectacular, in which we cover Beverly Hills Chihuahua, is two weeks away, and in the meantime here's part one of a two-part interview that frequent guest Luke Ski conducted with host Tony Goldmark back in April! We talk about various episodes of the show, and for some reason go off on a very long tangent about the Meatballs movies.

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2008 to pick an episode of Disney Channel's smash hit sitcom that launched the massively successful pop music career of Miley Cyrus. But before she was swinging around naked on wrecking balls, she was stuck in the world's worst love triangle with the guy from High School Musical (no, not him, the other guy) and a small child who the writers decided needed to be unspeakably horny, because 2008 was a very different time when that idea was consider...

It's our fifth and final week of Patreon Request Month 2022, and the randomizer's going all the way back to the year 2000 to pick Scott's request for a Disney Channel movie about a family of sentient alien space bubbles whose planet falls under the tyrannical rule of an evil fascist sentient alien space bubble, forcing them to flee to Earth, where they take human form somehow, subsist on root beer and fear the wind...and somehow the movie is very, very, very boring.

It's Week #4 of Patreon Request Month 2022, and the randomizer's going all the way back to 2020 to pick Z. Taylor Dunkin's request for a randomly-selected batch of three episodes of the seven-minute Australian kids show about a family of talking dogs that's taken the world by storm, and endeared itself to kids and adults alike, thanks to a winning combination of refreshing sincerity, surprising emotional depth, and a level of cuteness which I'm pretty sure was outlawed by the Geneva Convention. ...

It's Week #3 of Patreon Request Month 2022, and this week the randomizer's going all the way back to the year 2000 to pick Pat_Alazr's request for a Disney Channel Original Movie all about the majesty of cinema itself, in which screen legend Mickey Rooney lends his formidable gravitas to a timeless fable about the seductive power of the silver screen. It's also a movie in which the lead character cleans up gumballs with a hockey stick and stabs a giant dinosaur balloon with a sword. Join Tony Go...

This week, the randomizer kicks off Patreon Request Month 2022 by going all the way back to 2021 to pick Emily Hinton's request for a Pixar instant classic which got a pandemic-induced straight-to-Disney+ release, an animated movie about talking fish where a fish child leaves home and gets taken to...no, not that one. An animated movie about a fish-human hybrid creature who dreams of something more above the surface and...no, not that one either. The one set in Italy where the fish-kid wants to ...

The lost episode is un-lost! This week, we proudly present an episode once thought lost in a hard drive crash, but now found, if by "found" you mean "we started over from scratch using lower-quality Zoom recordings." In this episode, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2020 to pick an episode of a NatGeo reality show about animals that promises to be a NatGeo reality show about animals and not much else. But if you like watching tiger surgery, hold on tight! Join Tony Goldmark, Mat Brunet (a...

I gotta take this week off to give myself time to catch up (and hopefully stay caught up) before Patreon Request Month (still one more week to submit requests at https://www.patreon.com/tonygoldmark btw!) but in the meantime, here's an extended outtake - a much longer version of the "Agatha bugging Doggans" bit from the Man of the House episode, featuring Agatha Vile and David Ganssle!

This week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode, in which our good friend Charlie Callahan inexplicably throws away the one and only Guest's Choice episode he'll ever get on a deservedly-obscure Disney "comedy" from 1995 that's equal parts boring and racist, in which Chevy Chase doesn't get to be a jerk, Jonathan Taylor Thomas doesn't get to be likeable, George Wendt doesn't get to be funny and Farrah Fawcett has to pretend to be into Chevy Chase despite looking l...

This week, as Tony returns from his impromptu hard drive crash-induced mini-hiatus, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2015 to pick the last movie (as of now) that the legendary George Lucas was personally involved with, an animated fairy tale with a story by Lucas himself combining his love of mythic fantasy with his penchant for subversive genre fusion...only this time, for some bizarre reason he combined the plots and/or aesthetics of Beauty and the Beast, Ferngully, Mamma Mia! and vario...

Unfortunately, due to severe technical difficulties, I have no choice but to declare the Jungle Animal Rescue episode a lost episode. Instead, have a minisode this week featuring a song I recorded about Scrooge McDuck in the late 2000s, plus a teaser for what next week's episode WILL be!
