This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2019 to make us watch everyone's favorite kind of Disney+ branded content, a NatGeo special! Fun. Specifically, a special that answers the question, "How do we take the inherently interesting topic of badass female Viking warriors and somehow turn it into the most boring sludge of meaningless CSI and Diet David Fincher aesthetics you've ever tried to stay awake through?" Leave it to NatGeo! Join Tony Goldmark, Haley Baker Callahan, Ryan Hipp and...

This week, for our second Halloween episode of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to roughly three weeks ago to cover the once-in-a-lifetime confluence of events that led to two divisions of Disney bumping into each other and saying "Hey, you got your Muppets in my Haunted Mansion!" and "You got Haunted Mansion on my Muppets!" Two great tastes that taste great together! Join Tony Goldmark, Count Jackula, Madeline Maye and Luke Ski as they play the music, light the lights and meet the...

This week, for our first of two Halloween episodes of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2002 to cover yet another Disney Channel movie, from the exact same director as the Disney Channel movie we covered on our last episode. This one asks the bold cinematic question, "What if you put a heartfelt, gut-wrenching mystery-drama about death and loss, and a wacky workplace sitcom about ghosts working at an afterlife way station, in a jar together and shook it up as hard as you could?" ...

It's our final week of Patreon Request Month 2021, and the randomizer's going all the way back to 2017 to pick Troy Lundquist's request for an animated feature from the gone-but-not-forgotten Blue Sky Studios, a timeless fable about the virtues of individualism and pacifism in a cruel, heartless, endlessly competitive world where conformity is normalized and life is disposable. Also there's a scene where a bull twerks. Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Cassie Shima a...

It's Week #4 of Patreon Request Month 2021, and the randomizer's going all the way back to 2004 to pick Eric Ortiz's request for a randomly-selected first season episode of that show we already covered a couple months ago about going to force some sort of hyper team of monkey robots into being super. Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Cassie Shima as they try to remember the name SUPER ROBOT MONKEY TEAM HYPERFORCE GO! season one, episode eleven, "Ape New World!"

It's Week #3 of Patreon Request Month 2021, and the randomizer's going all the way back to 1989 to pick Paul Sebert's request for a beloved Disney Afternoon show that aired right after the waterfowl who swam through currency but before the bear who flew a plane, all about a buncha vermin who solved crimes and occasionally went into outer space for some reason. Join Tony Goldmark, Garrett Gilchrist, Michael Hunter and David Spencer as they need help and call Ch-Ch-Ch-CHIP 'N DALE'S RESCUE RANGERS...

It's Week #2 of Patreon Request Month 2021, and the randomizer's going all the way back to 1993 to pick Nolan Deming's request for one of the most iconic, beloved episodes ever of the deathless primetime animated series that helpfully gave every millennial a kajillion funny quotes to recite and meme at each other to save us the painful embarrassment of trying to learn social skills. Join Tony Goldmark, Yogi Deva-Das, Erika Haynes and Garrett Snook as they put onions on their belts (which was the...

This week, the randomizer kicks off this year's Patreon Request Month by going all the way back to 1979 to pick Nicholas M. Gentle's request for a curious mostly-forgotten "What Would Walt Have Done"-era would-be Disney classic, and I think we can all agree that out of all the Mark Twain adaptations in which the director of Beverly Hills Ninja plays both a horny robot and a time-traveling incel, this is probably one of the top ten. Join Tony Goldmark, Randee Martin, Kit Quinn and Agatha Vile as ...

This week the randomizer goes all the way back to late June 2021, an ancient era forgotten by time, when the earth's crust was still warm, dinosaurs roamed the planet, and only three episodes of Loki season one had been released. For some reason, this podcast saw fit to record a Loki episode at that point and not release it until now. We're good at podcasting. Join Tony Goldmark, Brianna Garcia, Kit Leitmeyer and Luke Ski as they get trapped in an apocalypse with LOKI, season one, episode three,...

This week the randomizer goes back to 1994 to cover the second film in a beloved nostalgic sports movie trilogy about the jock from The Breakfast Club training a buncha youngsters to strap knives to their feet, glide around a frozen room, and try to smack a rubber disk into a net with long sticks. Also they've named their team after waterfowl and Iceland is their sworn enemy. Sports are weird.

The next full episode won't be ready until next week, but in the meantime, here's a BONUS MINISODE featuring a State of the Parks segment on the newly-announced details of the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel set to open at WDW next spring, particularly the detail of how many "credits" the damn thing costs.

This week the randomizer goes back to 2009 to cover one of the most highly-rated Disney Channel Original Movies ever made, a Selena Gomez/Demi Lovato dual vehicle which dared to ask the bold cinematic question, "What if a princess had to STOP being a princess for a little while kinda but not really?" And answers, "Huh, guess she can bowl." Join Tony Goldmark, Alessandra Dreyer, Morgan Funder and David Ganssle as they get relocated by the PRINCESS PROTECTION PROGRAM! Check out my guests' stuff!

This week the randomizer goes back to the mid-2000s to cover an animated series from Toon Disney's "Jetix" block of action shows, a show which, one can only assume based on its title, is either about a super team of robot monkeys going to hyperforce, an ongoing hyperforce full of monkey teams of super robots, or a monkey who makes robots, aligns with "Team Hyperforce Go" and also happens to be pretty darn super. Join Tony Goldmark, Alessandra Dreyer, Morgan Funder and David Ganssle as they join ...

This week the randomizer goes back to 2005 to cover that one time the Disney Channel decided to make a movie about the plight of indigenous people, specifically Navajos of New Mexico, torn between tradition and modernity, reliant on a country that destroyed them. Naturally, the main character is a white kid and it ends with an 80s-style bike race. Join Tony Goldmark, Cody Clark, Emily Clark and Jenelle Riley as they fall asleep and have BUFFALO DREAMS!

This week, for our first episode after our June hiatus, the randomizer takes us all the way back to 2010 to cover an infamous underperforming Jerry Bruckheimer-produced Middle Eastern fantasy epic based on a Ubisoft video game, a film that told audiences, "Come for the whitewashing, stay for the ostrich races!"

We're taking a hiatus for the month of June, with the next full episode dropping on Wednesday, July 7th, but in the meantime, here's a minisode-length State Of The Parks segment on the origins of the newly-opened Avengers Campus land at Disney California Adventure, and the history of Marvel's connection to both Disney and Universal parks.

This week, the randomizer chooses a the first episode of a Disney+ original documentary miniseries from last year in which Disney sent a camera crew to New York's prestigious School of American Ballet, and they just kinda pointed their cameras at stuff for a while and then edited it together until it technically counted as television.

This week the randomizer chooses a Disney Channel Original Movie from 2005, that magical year when Disney saw fit to release not one but TWO different movies about teenage figure skaters, and apparently we got the one that wasn't good enough for theaters.

This week, the randomizer takes us all the way back to that magical year of 1979. The 70s were wrapping up, and what did Disney have to show for their first thoroughly Waltless decade? A dwindling animation department; a lot of ground lost to Spielberg, Lucas, Henson and Donner in the "family movie" market; an executive boardroom STILL asking "What would Walt have done?"; and a WHOLE lot of very dumb slapstick comedy sequels starring Don Knotts and/or Tim Conway, or in the case of this week's to...

This week, the randomizer picks a not-terribly-good Saturday morning cartoon from 1981 in which your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man joins forces with the Star-Spangled Man with a plan, and in a stunning oversight, not once does the latter sit on a backwards chair and lecture the former for getting detention. Join Tony Goldmark, Tim Crist, David Ganssle and Garrett Snook as they take pictures of SPIDER-MAN (1981 series), episode eighteen, "The Capture of Captain America!" Check out my guests' s...

It's the fifth and final week of MUPPET MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And to wrap the month up, the randomizer chooses another episode of the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational iconic televised classic itself, complete with a very special guest indeed - the only cinematic Superman to ever play the Man of Steel in a GOOD movie!

It's the fourth and penultimate week of MUPPET MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And this week, as I'm joined by the hosts of the Channel KRT podcast, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2014 to pick the second-best Muppet sequel in which the Muppets travel to Europe and end up thwarting a jewel heist.
