The PnC Crew fills you in on unruly children at the park, and the Puritanical censorship of newly-released season 3 of Bluey on Disney Plus. Also, stick around for Deefy's plan to go live at the library or something and the men's adventure at the indoor waterpark. Up next: Hocus Pocus.
Are you getting as dogged by the Dog Days of 2022 as we are? Timmy Q and Thunderbutt 2600 embark on a remarkable escapade of sorts, mashing up two extraordinary outings into one voluminous voyage for your listening pleasure. That is, if watching some cute animals running from point A to point B is your idea of a good time. That's right, we're doing 1963's The Incredible Journey, the precursor to 1993's Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (which we're pretty much covering in its entirety as we...
Let's get together (yeah, yeah, yeah) for the most famous Haley Mills vehicle of all time, 1961's The Parent Trap! This is the progenitor for the one-kid-playing-two-kids movie and Haley Mills is the proto-Michelle Tanner. We also get a hot mom and a Steve Zahn meets John Wayne dad rekindling their toxic relationship at the behest of a couple of manipulative, albeit mind-fucked teenagers. Find out about Susan the Duckster, Mills' doppelganger, and a couple of rites of passage that happen for Hal...
This was supposed to be part one of our Parent Trap coverage, but it ends up being Deefy talking about the Run the Jewels and Dethklok concerts he went to in Philly and Tim Q Mouse telling Deefy about the South Park 25th Anniversary show at Red Rocks. I opted to cut out that part just because it didn't make for entertaining listening if you weren't in the room. Catch the whole thing on Paramount Plus if you want. Stay tuned for the Parent Trap on the upcoming episode.
BRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNGGG!!! Class is in session for a couple of daft pupils! That's right, it's your boys Tim Q and Deefy boldly going where tons of people have gone before. Namely, a mediocre movie from 1961, The Absent-Minded Professor! If you've been needing that sweet sweet Tommy Kirk fix, look no further. Because guess what? He's in this! So's the saggier-faced analog of Andy Griffith, the lovable (maybe just likeable?) Fred McMurray! It's not Robin Williams, but this is the origin of the 1998 ...
"They're warm. They're wet. Just suck!" Perdeefa and Q-ella get all sooty in the conclusion to 1960's stylish masterpiece this week! Meet Disney's first fully fleshed out (if relatively emaciated) lady villain, Cruella DeVille and her henchmen Horace and Jasper, a.k.a. Guy Ritchie's Wet Bandits. Dodie will school us on how to punch a dog just right, and we'll learn where Rob Zombie got his inspiration for Dragula when Cruella gets behind the wheel. Grab a bag of Canine Crunchies and get ready to...
We continue our coverage of 1960's 101 Dalmatians with one of Deefy's deep dives into the artists who made this banger really hit the spot! Find out about Ken Anderson, Bill Peet, and Ub Ikeman, and discover how Walt started a years long feud by handing Ub a napkin at a party. It's a production ep!
Ok, so we're not the best at staying on a schedule, but we've missed all you Plussers and Cussers out there, so here's the first installment of our three part series on Disney's first animated feature of the swingin' Sixties, 101 Dalmatians! Some lady named Dodie wrote a book about some dogs who like snacks and a lady who likes pepper. It's.. fine. But hubba-hubba, homina-homina, wait till you get to the Pongos and their spicy liver-spotted unicorn, Perdita! Doggie thrupple? Don't mind if I do, ...
Hoooooo mannn.. It's been awhile! I had forgotten everything in this episode, but if anyone still gives a shit, it's worth a listen! So do it. Listen. Even if we don't deserve it, Haley Mills does. Also, Deefy talks about how he might need to add a hims subscription to his Lexapro regimen. Fun stuff!
Let's play the Glad Game! I'm glad that there's a new installment of Plussin' and Cussin' with your old pals Dr. Chill-Tim and Jimmy Deef! We're getting all hot and bothered in our petticoats over the unveiling of Disney's darling of the 1960's- Haley Mills- in her Oscar-winning debut as the plucky and lovable Polyanna. And we're gonna have a Zach Morris time-out to find out why Bayside High owes their existence to her. BRRRIIINNGGG!!!!
We put the come hither on ye last week with part one of Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Now take a load off as we polish off the poteen, ensnare an immortal in a burlap sack, and try our hand at the early twentieth century version of Irish rap battling. Not gonna lie folks; at some point or another in this episode, the spirits take over and take the wheel, and I'm not talking about leprechauns or banshees!
Har T-tar, T-Tar! Come me lovelies and join Timmy O'Husseinegan and Deefy O'Gill of the Little Penis as we pin on our clovers and kiss our blarney stones for our St. Patty's Day Special (only two months late) of Disney's Darby O'Gill and the Little People! We swap out Malort for Irish Whiskey and talk about how Walt Disney thought that he could convince viewers that he actually recorded a bunch of real life leprechauns for this film. Looking at the citizens of Florida, he might not have been too...
We dust the fleas off and whip out our red rockets for this next installation in PnC's Dog Days of 2022 with friend of the show and registered poonhound Cody McCafferty! It's time to slobber over Annette Funicello and some hot French chick (unless you're IRL Tommy Kirk) in 1959's Cold War comedy, The Shaggy Dog! It's that one scene in Mrs. Doubtfire but with a dog, kind of!
Hoard your runes close to your chest and don't stray too far from that last site of grace, because it's about to get downright Maleficent up in this bitch. Tim Q Mouse has been playing too much Elden Ring and it's coloring his perception of everything. Deefy has been drinking Malort and smoking weed, so business as usual. Here's the part where we watch the movie. What kind of PnC episode would it be if Deefy didn't have an emotional breakthrough about Maleficent reminding him of his withholding ...
Rise and shine all you sleepyheads! It's time to wipe that muck out of your eyes and get ready for a heapin' helpin' of history as we get into the origins of Disney's 1959 visual masterpiece, Sleeping Beauty. Deefy settles into the hot seat for the PnC duo's first heavy hitter recording within the House of Mouse.
We've been foaming at the mouth to get this one out! Plussin' and Cussin' presents a Deefless and whiskey-fueled romp through the wild Texas frontier of Santa Clarita, California with Kentucky's native son, Kevin Corcoran. We bare our canine incisors and rip into the meaty flesh of a film that traumatized an entire generation of Boomers, 1957's Old Yeller. Let's get grit and grime smeared all over our feral faces as we discover what you call a group of pigs and why Jesus Christ hated them so muc...
Strap on your snorkels and slap on some powd,' cause the buoys of PnC are about to flood your basements! The high seas (or low seas?) await this motley crew of a slightly senile French academic, his sycophantic (but cute as a button) sidekick, and a problematic alpha male harpooner who can't get enough poon. They end up on a boat what can go UNDER the water, captained by a guy who played a charismatic pedophile in another movie and his crew of cult followers. What could possibly go wrong? If you...
Avast, me hearties! Be that whale cum in yer flagon? Take the plunge with Captain Timo and Coral Reefy as we dive deep on the origins of the acclaimed 1954 mariner's yarn, 20,000opp00p0 Leagues Under the Sea! Maybe we'll learn a little French along the way!
Hop aboard the Bark Bus with Tim Dear and Deefy Darling as we watch and learn all things canine in the second installment of our coverage of 1955's Lady and the Tramp. How long could one keep a live puppy in a hatbox? How is there a New York City alleyway outside of an Italian restaurant in Missouri? What was it that Trusty's grandpappy Old Reliable actually used to say? We follow our noses like a couple of bloodhounds to get to the bottom of this question, and many more! And in true canine spir...
We begin the PnC's Dog Days of Winter series with a lil peek into the origins of 1955's Lady and the Tramp. But first, Tim and Deefy catch up on what's been going on in the downtime. Hear about Timmy's adventures in Vegas and having Covid (don't worry, it was just wimpy little Omicron). We also talk a bit about Encanto. I'm gonna be honest here: only about fifteen minutes of this podcast really has anything to do with Lady and the Tramp. If you're a history purist, skip to about the 30 minute ma...
Look what we did, you little jerks! It's Plussin' and Cussin's second annual Christmas bash. This year we're doing the newest addition to the Home Alone franchise, starring the fat little British kid from JoJo Rabbit, the funny guy from Twitter, and the College Humor chick who wants to give you the driest blowjob ever. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.
Time for a deep dive into the foul year of our Lord, 1955! Walt hates commies and needs to make a movie about a red-blooded, hard-nosed and hard-dicked American. Enter Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier! This is one of America's first rock stars, and an illustration of what happens when one man's legend becomes bigger than the man during his own lifetime. We swim around with crocodiles, grin down some 'bars and 'wrastle 'em into table meat, and get into some grisly (and rather disappointin...
On a very San Antonio-centric episode, we talk about the man, the myth, the legend: Davy Crockett. Find out how one of Texas's patron saints made his bones killin' 'bars and slingin' tales about killin' 'bars all the way to Washington and beyond. Put on your coon-skin caps buckaroos! (Sold at Alamo gift shop for $18.95 USD).
Strap yourselves into your Doom Buggies, cause it's time to go on a spooky ride.. that's a movie.. that's based on a ride.. that's sixty years old. Sounds like a great idea! Deefy prattles on about his love for the Haunted Mansion while Timmy pines for the days of higher quality Muppet content. Yes, all the stars are here! Arnett! Sajak! Bargain Bin-Manuel Miranda! Find out how Iron Maiden broke Deefy's fridge, and why Timothy Boo Mouse thinks king prawn should be forever stricken from the Muppe...
Set your engines for the second star to the right and straight on till morning! Here's the part where we cut to the chase and talk about the actual movie. Take our respective hands; we're off to Never Never Land
This here's the part where we talk about the MAKING OF stuff, for all you film buffs out there. We talk about the heads that came together to make PP, and then get into the short, sad tale of the actor who portrayed Peter Pan. He's essentially one of the first children that Hollywood chewed up and spit out as a ruined husk. THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS
We're starting a four part series on a sociopathic little fairy boy with all of his baby teeth who took the world by storm in the early Twentieth Century by doing a little digging into the strange little man who created him. Trying a little something different here, this is the first part of our Peter Pan series, focused exclusively on JM Barrie and his stories that gave birth to Disney's masterpiece nearly a half century later.
What could this title mean? Do the Plussers/Cucksters reenact that scene from Patch Adams where that old lady's dying wish is to enter a pool full of noodles, a wish which the titular Patch later fulfills? Or is it just a couple of seasoned journalists watching 2021's Jungle Cruise in a kiddie pool in one Deefy 2600's driveway, one of whom chooses spaghetti as his maritime snack? Can Disney turn a theme park ride from 1955 into a passable movie? And will Robin Williams factor into future episode...
On a golden afternoon that bled into the wee hours, we recorded an episode of the podcast at Brick in the Blue Star with our friend Michael Julian. Things go from curious to curiouser as we cover Lewis Carroll, aka the Michael Jackson of the Victorian era, and delve into why Alice in Wonderland is so synonymous with tripping balls. Come down the rabbit hole with us, and don't forget to bring your notes! Remember what the dormouse said, cause we got too drunk and forgot :(
Hey, remember Splash Mountain, guys?? They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and-for better or worse-we decided to cover 1946's problematic film, Song of the South. We're gonna talk about Georgia's own red-headed stepchild, Joel Chandler Harris, and his dissemination of the beloved Uncle Remus tales. Let's go hang out on a plantation that looks like Candyland from Django Unchained! That'll be super chill and fun, right?? The neighbor kids want their dog back so they can drown i...
