  • Summary

  • We cover a lot of ground in this episode!

    Autymn tells us why A Goofy Movie is a black nerd classic. Joe then gives us a dose of queer fan fiction. Then we discuss a microcosm of topics, including:

    • the "down low"
    • Art Babbitt, the genesis of the Goofy character, minstrelsy, black representation, phrenology AKA the pseudo-science of skull shape & Goofy's bump
    • the racism of Disney & why old cartoons aren't on Disney+
    • Goofy's mode of existence as proof that mistakes are ok
    • parent-child role reversal
    • Jeffrey Katzenberg & the checkered history of A Goofy Movie
    • A Goofy Movie's marginal placement within the Disney Renaissance & its cult status
    • Disney + Miramax = Joe hates (and rants about) Oscar campaigning
    • a roast of Gwyneth Paltrow
    • childhood afternoon cartoon programming blocks
    • the "fork in the road" movie: the movie that thrusts you right into adulthood
