  • The stars shine bright this Saturday as Wyatt is joined by fashion history writer, Marley Healy (@bastion_of_fashion), to discuss the iconic sequence in 1940's Pinocchio, where Ginger Rogers brings a doll to life and appoints little Fred Astaire as the doll's conscience. Well, that's my head-canon, at least.

  • Is the leader of the club M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E or N-I-C-K-I M-I-N-A-J? Regardless, Ray and Wyatt make their way through Mickey's 50th birthday special without having ever discussed a Mickey Mouse cartoon. We discuss the Golden Age of Hollywood nostalgia, our favorite guest appearances, and an "Uncanny Valley" Elton John. You have to see it to believe it.

  • Furries unite! Wyatt and Ray take a trip on down to Zootopia, where anyone can be anything! *seven years later* Oopsies. Join us as we discuss the alternate storylines, cultural legacy, and whether we prefer this film to 1973's Robin Hood.

  • Even when we reach "dud" features, there's still a crap ton to discuss. Such is the case with Fun and Fancy Free, a film which would fall into obscurity if it weren't for Walt's trio of cartoon personalities... and Jiminy Cricket. Hope you find more entertainment in our lampooning than in this packaged product with a capital "P."
