Episode 106 - Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio

This one? It's a good movie. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll experience creepy stop-motion cinema at its finest. However, you might have to watch Disney's original Pinocchio to actually enjoy it. Also, Andy comes out of nowhere with some crazy Pinocchio book lore that absolutely would destroy any child reading it. Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley. Find us on the Internet!

Episode 105 - Pinocchio (1940)

This movie is about a boy who has two dads who never meet each other, and they each independently drop the ball pretty hard. It was pretty good! If it wasn’t so upsetting near the end, kids today might still want to watch it. Instead it, uh, instilled a fear of whales into a generation of kids. Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley.

Episode 104 – Snow White (2025)

This... this was a tough one. We really thought we knew what we were getting into, you know? We thought we understood. We didn't think Disney would make every possible bad decision and release an ugly, bloated, cheap-looking and yet somehow very expensive monstrosity onto the viewing public. But they sure did!

Episode 103 – Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

This is it. The one that started it all. Disney’s first foray into moviemaking, and the first full-length animated movie ever produced. And it has way more music than you remember. Most of it is bad. Important questions: Is the Evil Queen a stealth feminist icon? Why is the prince so weird, and why does his song suck so much? D-did Snow White ascend into heaven at the end? The music we used is Homeward by Scott Buckley and Theme from Penguins on Parade by Lee Rosevere, off of Music for Podcasts 3. Find us on the Internet!

Episode 102 – The Swan Princess: Far Longer Than Forever

We’ve done it. It’s over. We killed the franchise. This is a return to form, imaginary readers. This movie? It’s bad. In fact, it’s mostly nonsense. And we watched it. On purpose. ... Number Nine wasn't even IN it! They didn't mention The Secret Arts ONCE! Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley. Find us on the Internet!

Episode 101 – The Swan Princess: A Fairytale is Born

Is Jean-Bob proof that a merciful god does not exist? Discuss. Will this be our penultimate Swan Princess episode? I will not lie, the concept excites me. This is a movie mostly about Derek’s terrible mother, and it’s somehow one of the best in the series. Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley. Find us on the Internet!

Episode 100 – Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas

Happy Holidays! Let’s celebrate with the most morose Christmas movie we could find! Well, the most morose movie with Muppets, at least. And really, what says Christmas like abject poverty?

Episode 99 – The Aristocats

Everybody wants to be a cat. But not these cats, specifically. Other, cooler cats, who do stuff.* *This opinion not necessarily endorsed by the podcast as a whole. Programming note: Tony was losing his voice and also his mic was acting up, so his audio isn't perfect quality. Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley. Find us on the Internet!

Episode 98 – Felidae

Hard to call this one “a romp,” but it might be fun, if you can get over the cat murder. And, uh, the onscreen cat sex. And the casual homophobia. Oh, and the original writer went full “concentration camp” later in life. Got some wacky dream sequences, though! Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley. Find us on the Internet!

Episode 97 – Dinotopia: Quest for the Ruby Sunstone: The Movie

Yes, that’s really the title. No, none of the writing in the movie is better than that title. No, none of the acting is, either. This movie might actually be a crime against good taste, dinosaurs in general, and James Gurney specifically. Our theme music is Homeward by Scott Buckley. Find us on the Internet!
