Kristine and Bill tackle 1996's Schwarzenegger vehicle "Jingle All the Way." COME for the weird intro sketch that is basically what gets us into this movie! STAY for Bill confusing the bands Sleater-Kinney and Rilo Kiley! WRAP YOURSELF IN impor
A lot about snowmen and traditions--surprisingly little about the Mediterranean Monk Seal! Bill and Kristine talk the not terrible, but disastrously marketed and placed, "Olaf's Frozen Adventure."
It's a bite-sized episode for a bite-sized movie, as we watch a Christmas special from the Muppets dark ages, just three years before Jason Siegel came riding in to save the brand. Celebrity cameos, utterly forgettable songs, and all the Muppet
What. A. Week! We're back right on schedule with a new episode, on the 1961 film Babes in Toyland. Also, we're learning a new space, so we're sorry for the not-great audio quality! But please join us as we discuss a truly weird, why-does-this-e
Fat kids at fat camp, but their fatness isn't the joke, and that's so great! Also Stiller and Meara, and Paul Feig! Kristine and Bill visit the weird Judd Apatow Disney comedy they missed in 1995, "Heavyweights," and reminisce about a summer ca
Kristine and Bill talk about The Swiss Family Robinson (1960), based, as so many adventure films are, on a book written in German a century and a half earlier by a father who really liked Robinson Crusoe and had wanted to teach his four sons ab
With the Ducks back in the zeitgeist thanks to "Mighty Ducks: Game Changers," Kristine and Bill watch the last, most forgettable and very definitely the worst of the Mighty Ducks trilogy, the one they couldn't just call "Mighty Ducks 3" because
Kristine and Bill watch and discuss another pre-Renaissance animated classic, and one that neither of them had seen before. We talk about the book upon which it's kind of sort of arguably based (basically, they borrowed some names and the title
Animal stories don't really do it for Bill, but he picked 1991's White Fang, based pretty loosely on Jack London's novel, nonetheless. Ethan Hawke in his first starring role, London's short but incredibly wild life, the movie with two very diff
We discuss the 1956 film "Davy Crockett and the River Pirates," which is really just two episodes of the 1955 miniseries "Davy Crockett" mashed together. THRILL at the game-show-skit intro with sound effects and everything! RECOIL and then ABSO
Time for another Fifth Monday Favorite! Bill picked the 2016 feature Moana, but it's definitely a favorite of both of ours. Come along for a deeper look at the music, the work of trying to make sure a culture you're depicting is treated the rig
Kristine and Bill discuss the 1977 live-action feature "Candleshoe," starting a young and impressive Jodie Foster alongside the not-young and completely charming Helen Hayes and David Niven! Come scam some pirate treasure with us.
It's DTV time again! With a couple big-name returning voices and two new songs by late-Millennial/early-Gen-Z idol Phil Collins, this direct-to-DVD sequel to the 1999 classic is a little better than the average, maybe? Glenn Close! George Carli
Kristine and Bill discuss the 2005 computer-animated mess "Valiant," surrounding a troop of carrier pigeons tasked with delivering an important message during World War II. Ewan McGregor! What Disney was *actually* doing during WWII (lots of pr
It's not dark or dusty, but it's new to us! Kristine and Bill close out Black History Month with a look at the excellent 2016 biopic, Hidden Figures.
We watch the new-to-Disney+, 1997 Wonderful World of Disney remake of the classic TV musical Cinderella, starring Brandy and Whitney Houston. with a supporting cast full of Broadway legends. Included: some incoherencies (Bill thinks) in the cla
Don Knotts! Don Knotts again! The history of actual apple dumplings! Kristine and Bill dive into the 1975 Disney hit "The Apple Dumpling Gang and come out with...something. Tim Conway and Don Knotts are *very* funny in this film that otherwise
Kristine and Bill talk about the 2013 in-the-Cars-universe-yet-not-by-Pixar head scratcher, Planes. How cool are Julia Louis-Dreyfus and John Cleese? How could this movie have been, you know, good? All this and more, plus a very trippy and dist
It's the third Lilo & Stitch movie, naturally titled "Lilo & Stitch 2." Kristine and Bill talk through this extremely unnecessary direct-to-video sequel, the not-Hawaiian Hawaiians, Bill's huge problem with the ending, and so much more! Come jo
It's Hayley Mills again! And Dean Jones again! The two Disney Legends' paths meet as amateur and pro crime-fighters, respectively, who hope to follow a precocious cat to a pair of probably-murderous bank robbers. Let's talk about it!
Kristine and Bill open up a real . . . bad movie as they deal with CAN OF WORMS, a 1999 Disney Channel original. Weird puppets and animatronics and early CGI and stuff all come to earth to annoy a kid, whose life was pretty good to begin with a
Happy brazzle dazzle new year! We're back with one of Bill's childhood favorites, picked by Kristine. Pete's Dragon *might* be too well-known to really qualify for our show, if only because of the 2016 "reimagining," but Kristine had never seen
Kristine and Bill tackle the Hallmark Christmas movie of Disney+ Christmas movies, 2011's "`12 Dates of Christmas," starring the extremely likable Amy Smart and Mark-Paul Gosselaar. We sing our own movie-specific version of that infernal song,
Disney just released this movie in November of 2018--in theaters and everything--but we have *no* memory of it and we love The Nutcracker, so The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is our movie this week. So many beautiful women of so many differen
It's back into the bowels of the DCOMverse for this week's festive offering, "'Twas the Night," starring now-world-renowned actor Bryan Cranston as the sleazy-uncle-turned Santa and co-starring so, SO many Canadians.
