  • Ep 20: Anastasia and the Great Value Demons
    Jul 15 2024

    In this week's episode, we are heading to Russia and then Paris with Anastasia! There are two things that we know this movie has: (1) demons that really weren't worth the entire cost of your soul and (2) a timeline that doesn't really make sense.

    This childhood favorite of millennials across the world was originally produced by 20th Century Fox. But seeing as Disney now owns it, the age old fight over Anastasia as a Disney princess has been solved. Come along as we discuss the historical context, the questionable motives of everyone involved, and just how long it would take to travel from St. Petersburg to Paris.

    All this while drinking a White Russian and celebrating Sav's birthday month.

    Pour yourself something strong to make it through the Russian winters, and join us in the nostalgia!

  • Ep 19: The Sidekicks of Treasure Planet
    Jun 29 2024

    Disney's experimental age is full of great movies and duds. From experiment 626 to the most expensive flop, the movies are varied and interesting. This week, we are tackling yet another experimental movie, Treasure Planet! This space take on Treasure Island came out in 2002, right in the middle of the experiments. The animators used three different types of animation/technology to create this movie, which jacked up the price and made it less visually smooth. Mistakes aside, this is a fun movie, with interesting characters, and the best sidekicks, potentially ever. From Morph to B.E.N. and all of the villainous crew members, this cast is full of *character. Pour yourself a Wrecked Pirate and tune in as we make our way to Treasure Planet!

  • Ep 17: Thank You for the Hot Prince - Little Mermaid Live Action
    Jun 1 2024

    For our very first live action movie, we are changing up the format. We will discuss the plot of The Little Mermaid when we cover the animated version, but for this, we want to talk about how the live action stood up. We are discussing cinematography, casting, special effects, costuming, the music, and our overall thoughts on this film as an adaptation. As well as a full tangent about the attractiveness of different cartoon characters within the disney universe.

    Pour yourself a glass of your favorite beverage and hang out under the sea with us.

  • Ep 16: What is the Historical Context of Robin Hood?
    May 18 2024

    We hope you are ready for a disney drunk history lesson! This week, we have a special guest to discuss her favorite movie, Robin Hood!

    Tori comes on with the historical context that the movie is based around, some Robin Hoods through the ages, and some great fun facts. The trio for this movie included a Robin Hood fanatic, a Disney lover, and Piff who had never seen this movie before.

  • Ep 15: The Great Mouse (and Human) Detectives
    May 4 2024

    This week, we are delving into one of Sav's childhood favorites, The Great Mouse Detective! This movie takes Sherlock Holmes classic iconography and adapts it to a talking mouse world. Both Basil and Dawson have personalities that mirror Sherlock and Watson, and then the game is afoot.

    Throughout this episode, while gushing about the premise, we discuss the villain songs, the success rate for this evil plan, how the different animals are able to or not able to speak clearly to each other, and the Sherlock Holmes nods.

    We both love this movie, so grab a glass of Rodent's Delight (or basically whatever you really enjoy drinking) and join us!

  • Ep 14: Alice & the Chaos of Wonderland
    Apr 27 2024

    This episode was supposed to come out on 4/20, which we thought was fitting because it only really makes sense if you are drunk or high. This is one of our more tangent heavy episodes, but it's Alice in Wonderland, nothing else would make sense.

    Topics include re-occurring dreams, the logic of a 10 year old, and the pieces of this movie that stuck with us through the years.

    Pour yourself some spiked tea or arnold palmer (or if it is legal in your area, blaze it) and tune in for this wild journey.

  • Ep 13: Sassy Aladdin and Jasmine Is Smarter than Everyone
    Apr 6 2024

    In this week's episode, we are heading to Agrabah, where we will encounter daring escapes, an orphan in disguise, and a magic lamp. This is our Aladdin episode!

    While Piff had only seen the live action before this and Sav is a cartoon purist, we are discussing the cartoon primarily. Among the topics we cover are the plethora of comedic relief moments, how the Cave of Wonders works, our Disney Dreamlight Valley playing experiences, and Jasmine being both a bada** and the smartest person in this plotline.

    Pour yourself a Morroco-Rita and tune in for this nostalgic journey!
