You might see the title for this episode and think to yourself: “are they really so negligent in their release schedule that they are putting out their Christmas episode in March?” To which I, Dan, say to you: no that’s ridiculous, we recorded this one in February. I’d say this isn’t going to become a trend but it has clearly become one. We watched Hot Frosty as the last of our Dealer’s Choice movies for the year and it was surprising in a lot of ways that we found surprising in its surprisingne...

Happy Holidays! For some of us, November 1st is the start of the Christmas season. For others, it starts the day after thanksgiving. For even others, it should never start. One of the latter is Ebenezer Scrooge (AKA Dan's character. The one he has been playing for years. Tune in to The supreme resort to learn about the real Dan). Will Dan enjoy this holiday classic? Does Jimmy blindly gush over anything? Does Audrey do a surprisingly good Owen Wilson impression? The answers to all these question...

What can we say, these aren't getting any better. This movie was released just after John Lasseter hugged the straight to video sequels away.. This one does not carry any future plot, it does not fill the characters out in any way, and perhaps even takes away from some of the character relationships from the original film.

We have fully evolved into a Harry Potter Podcast. Don't know when it happened, but it did. Think about it, Cinderella 3 has magic, wands, fairies, an evil person who you can't say their name (mostly cause they don't have one) and Audrey and Jimmy happen to know a lot about HP.

We're back!!! Fox and the Hound was a movie. The source material for that movie was dark! The sequel, Fox and the Hound 2 has absolutely nothing to do with the original film or the source material. It was like someone came up with a long episode of some Disney channel show about two cis white twin boys and they were like, we could make this into a movie, what characters could we use that have some sort of existing IP? And, thus, Fox and the Hound 2. Hear Audrey, Dan and Jimmy explore the source ...

Lilo and Stitch was a charming movie about a girl and her sister experiencing and helping each other through the trauma of losing their parents and learning to be an ohana. Then Disney made 3 more movies based mainly of the wacky, farting alien who appeared in their lives to help them do this and grow as people. Then they made a TV series based on that farting alien and all of the other farting aliens. This is movie is the culmination of…all of that. And we can only pray it will remain so. Join ...

Taking place between Bambi's mother's death and Bambi shown as a young adult buck, the film follows Bambi's relationship with his father, The Great Prince of the Forest, and Bambi's efforts to earn his father's love for him. It was first titled Bambi and the Great Prince, but was renamed Bambi and the Great Prince of the Forest and later Bambi II.

Well, it’s that time of year again as we do our annual round of “dealer’s choice” films so that Jimmy can watch a Christmas movie, Dan can be a secular contrarian, and Audrey doesn’t have to get drawn into that mess.

Stitch!: the Movie (recently reviewed on Scraping the vault) was a spin off and extended pilot episode of the lilo and stitch TV show.

In 1996 The Walt Disney Company gathered several of Hollywood’s most talented filmmakers to create their first live action remake of a classic animated film: One Hundred & One Dalmatians.

Audrey is back from her trip to Australia doing good deeds for the improv community and she’s just in time to watch Tarzan 2 with Jimmy and Dan so that you don’t have to. Tarzan 2 is, of course, a movie about Tarzan as a young child who, of course, meets up with a grizzled old man gorilla (proper pronunciation revealed in the episode) who asks Tarzan to keep a secret between the two of them. And, like all situations where an old man asks a young boy to keep a secret from the community at large, ...

You’ll have a blast as they break into the winding story line of this rootin’ tootin’ movie which is kind of a sequel but also not a sequel at all.
