  • [Bonus] Me, Mom & The Mouse & The Mailbag #2
    Aug 19 2022

    In anticipation of next week’s series finale, Mom and Isaac sit down to catch up on a year’s worth of mailbag questions, discuss their post-podcast ambitions, and reflect on two years of obsessive Disney viewing. And to complain about LIGHTYEAR a lot.

  • Frozen
    Jul 29 2022

    Mom and Isaac tackle the most successful movie in Disney animation history, and the first to be directed by a woman: the mass culture phenomenon known as FROZEN. But how does it hold up as a film?

  • Winnie the Pooh (2011)
    Jul 15 2022

    This week, Mom and Isaac discuss the worst film of the Revival Era, the “brand exploitation effort” (to use John Lasseter’s words) that saw Winnie the Pooh in his dullest adventure yet. It’s a shame that this was Disney’s last 2D animated film.
