     2019 - 2020 Episodes 

Smart House

  • The movie has a son trying to take over his late mother's duties so that his father won't date and replace her. The gang points out in a roundabout way that there are some things a woman could do for his father that a son couldn't. Then Tony Goldmark bluntly says the son wants to fuck his dad and the others react appropriately.
  • While discussing a scene where preteen boys imitate a Boy Band's choreography, they point out no teenage boy from the 90's would ever admit to enjoying a boy band due to how repressed and insecure in their masculinity they all were.
  • While discussing the A.I. Is a Crapshoot trope, Nick recounts a story where he went out for doughnuts and his GPS led him to an empty gravel parking lot at night and he thought "My GPS is trying to kill me!"

Meet the Deedles

  • After watching the movie, Tony's first statement is that the whole podcast was a bad idea.
  • Tony remembers that on Siskel & Ebert, Ebert would torture Siskel by repeating "Deedle" over and over again.
  • The Great Luke Ski initially mistakes this movie for Meet the Applegates, a movie about giant insects pretending to be human. The others are in disbelief that the movie even exists.
  • Dave took a page of notes for Smart House but only five for this movie, most of them just being "Why?"
  • Luke says the movie was probably written in the 80's and sat on a desk for several years.
  • Dave says that a female character refers to her father as her stepfather so many times it sounds like the setup to a porn movie.
  • Tony finds out that one of the actresses who played a minor character in the movie is now a countess.

Amphibia Episode 13

  • Tony says that Wisconsinites show affection by emptying dog food on people's heads.
  • Luke discusses a meeting he had at Cartoon Network where they said most of their shows were for kids six to eleven while [adult swim] was for people eighteen and over. Luke asked why they assumed kids twelve to seventeen don't watch cartoons. They must be too busy Fortnite dancing and being indoctrinated into Nazism on Youtube.
  • The podcast features an "appearance" by the character Gunther, a dopey frog with a Southern accent.
  • They interview him with a Running Gag being his inconsistency over whether or not he's a self-aware, fourth wall-breaking cartoon character or an actual sentient talking frog.
  • Gunther is apparently stuck in a "Groundhog Day" Loop, reliving reruns of Episode 13 over and over again.
  • Tony eventually gets so frustrated with Gunther's stupidity he starts breaking his stuff and throwing him against the wall.
  • The guys eventually lick Gunther to get high. Gunther later reveals that Tony licked his ass.
  • Luke says that if the creators of Amphibia are listening, he begs them to give him a job so that he can exit the existential nightmare of the podcast.

'Twas the Night

  • Santa Claus shows up in the middle of the podcast and the cast grill him about "tickling" kids in their sleep.
  • It's revealed that "Santa" is actually Carl Featherbottom, a twelve-year-old with a very deep voice who escaped from a juvenile prison.
  • They offer Santa a hot dog and he makes a slurping sound rather than an eating sound. They then say he sucked it up his nose.
  • It's later revealed that "Carl" isn't human at all. He's an alien and only then do the podcasters mention that he's green. Tony responds with a Big "WHAT?!" to the fact that they're making first contact with an alien who's also a runaway child with a birth defect who's also Santa Claus.
  • Santa makes a warbling, alien noise. Then he says he's just clearing his throat.
  • For the "What's the Attraction" section, "Carl" suggests a Haunted Mansion overlay starring Bryan Cranston. Not an animatronic, the actual Bryan Cranston chained to a wall, trying desperately to get his Tony Award back.
  • The "LAPD" knocks on the door only to reveal that it's Kyle Carrozza, who is nicknamed "LAPD" because he's a plaything of the rich.

The Book of Pooh - "Day of the Knights"/"Come As Eeyore"

  • They mock how strange Owl looks due to the fact he has no eyelids.
  • The guys say that Peter Cullen, Eeyore's voice actor, accidentally slips into his Optimus Prime voice occasionally. This leads to the creation of Pessimist Prime, where they say several of Optimus' noble, uplifting lines in Eeyore's voice.
  • They then suggest that Eeyore would be an alt-right comedian and was also the first Goth.
  • The next episode is "Bravehat", which of course results in them doing Braveheart's famous Rousing Speech in Eeyore's voice.
  • The description of the next episode, which is "Piglet finds courage in a new hat." Zach imagines that Piglet literally reaches into a hat and pulls out Courage the Cowardly Dog.
  • The "Dueling Poohs" segment between Kyle and Zach, which escalates into the two Poohs getting into a fight and one threatening to fuck the other's mother in the ass.
    • Every moment with Zach for that matter.
    • (Doubles as a heartwarming moment) On the Thanks For The Magic stream, Zach reprised his impression of Pooh at a donation tracker’s request who was working the graveyard. It made her laugh so fucking hard.
    Luke: We're reviewing a pre-school show, by the way.
  • Between takes, "Pooh" claims to eat people and shit them out in the woods.
  • They, of course, make a joke about Chinese President Xi Jinping. "Aaaand, Banned in China!"
  • For the "What's the Attraction?" segment, Luke suggests "Eeyore's Pointless Hole of Despair."

The Wild

Pooh's Heffalump Movie

  • This is the second Pooh production they've done, so they say they're diving back into the "pile of Pooh."
  • When they learn the Heffalump's name is Lumpy, they start singing "A Day to Celebrate."

Halloweentown 2: Kalabar's Revenge

  • Kalabar, the title character, isn't in the movie at all.
  • Tony's depiction of a phone call between Halloweentown and the real world. Since it's a Year Outside, Hour Inside, one end would be a Motor Mouth while the other would be incredibly slow.
  • In the movie, a girl flirts with a boy by saying "Let's go up to my grandma's room." Tony jokes about how they'll be fucking on a bed that stinks like an old lady.
  • Tony describes Kal's fake dad as looking like the love child of Kylo Ren and Benedict Cumberbatch.
  • Tony speculates that the movie was too cheap to hire extras and just got a bunch of random homeless people to be in the movie for free craft services.

Read It and Weep

  • Charlie says he once worked for Toys R Us after high school. Morgan Funder than mocks him with an old-woman impression.
  • They are confused about the character named Is. Tony wonders if the movie will be about the definition of "is."
  • Charlie reads the description of the movie in his announcer voice, including all the minutia like the duration, release date, genre, rating, format, etc.
  • Haley describes the star's hair as being two little tendrils.
  • Morgan instantly guesses that a male character won't be the love interest due to his best friends bowl cut hair.
  • Since the movie is about a girl's diary becoming a bestseller, Tony compares it to The Diary of a Young Girl.
  • Haley compares the Hollywood Homely lead to herself in high school, including her poorly-fitted screen-print T-shirts, her lopsided French braid, and blue shimmer lip gloss which made her look "like a drowning victim."
  • Haley randomly asks Morgan what she thinks about liver on pizza just so they can gloat about the podcast passing The Bechdel Test.
  • The Fridge Horror at a scene where a whale piñata breaks open and spills seaweed onto a high school dance, including pizza. As far as they know, the seaweed isn't sanitary and was just pulled right out of the ocean. Haley speculates that the movie takes place in Innsmouth.
  • Charlie realizes that the movie is basically a female Blank Check.
  • When the female lead literally silences a male character by stepping on his mouth, Tony wonders why incels haven't latched onto the movie. Morgan says it's because the Nice Guy actually gets with the girl at the end, which would have incels screaming "Verisimilitude compromised!"
  • Charlie wonders why the teenage boy has a brother who looks about forty. Morgan speculates that the actor was so vain he refused to play the kid's father and was rewritten as a brother.
  • Tony says the movie makes him understand why High School Musical was such a big hit. If most Disney Channel movies were this mediocre, HSM must have seemed mind-blowingly excellent.
  • Haley says the main character's brother seems like a guy who doesn't wash his ass well because he thinks it's gay. Baffled, Tony asks if that's a Southern expression. Haley says it's actually an internet thing. Then Charlie mentions a Reddit story about a girl who said her boyfriend never washed his genitals because he thought that was gay.
  • After saying a character looked like their friend Garrett, they say the character spends way more time on his hair than any straight male teenager and looks like a John Mayer knockoff. Charlie quickly chimes in with "For the record, we're not talking about you, Garrett."
  • Haley explains the "lesbian dance loophole."note 
  • Both of Tony's Berserk Buttons get pressed. Morgan uses the expression "It's a very small world", which results in everyone subtly alluding to the ride as Tony threatens them. Charlie then mentions Is saying "figments of imagination."

Doug Episode 21: Quailman vs. The Triad of Terror

  • Haley muses that Doug was part of a mellow, slice-of-life genre that died out after 9/11.
  • Tony describes the title of Doug's 1st Movie as "ominous", as if they were threatening to make more.
  • They remember how Disney's Doug was once branded as "Brand Spanking-New Doug." It was wisely shortened back to "Disney's Doug."
  • Charlie says "Without further a-Doug."
    Charlie: I am in the corner
  • They point out how Nickelodeon's Doug theme song is a Ear Worm that they could remember even years after the show went off the air but the Disney theme song they couldn't remember with a "gun to their heads" even though they just watched the show.
  • They end up going on a tangent about educational TV requirements, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, and a Harsher in Hindsight PSA with Bill Cosby.
  • While discussing COPPA, Charlie says he has the "COPPA Feels." Haley boos him.

Frank and Ollie

  • Tony describes how he first met Jenny Nicholson through Kevin Perjurer of Defunctland. Kevin recognized Tony but Tony couldn't recognize him since he doesn't show his face in his videos. He jokingly acts surprised that Kevin doesn't just look like a living wax statue. Jenny jokes that he's hideously deformed.
  • Dave says he was such a boring kid that he owned this, a documentary about two of Disney's Nine Old Men, on VHS. Tony then one-ups him by saying that he saw this movie in theaters.
  • Jenny expresses disappointment that this is a documentary and not a dog movie.
  • The gang mocks how Andy Gaskill seems perplexed by close male frienships and insists that he's not that close with men.
  • The movie includes riveting scenes like the director packing shoes to visit his father and shaving.
  • They note how casually Frank and Ollie treat the original drawings they did for The Jungle Book (1967), which could be sold for thousands of dollars. Jenny imagines Disney archivists raiding their homes like The Men in Black to save the drawings after they die.
  • The son of Frank and Ollie's old landlord apparently held funerals in the backyard for dead grass.
    Tony: And he grew up to be Charles Manson!
  • Dave says a story about how Frank and Ollie would share the same razor felt really Grandpa Simpson.
  • And then the Nazis came!
  • "Disney animation is full of sexually aggressive squirrels."
  • Jenny mistakes a caricature of Frank Thomas for "Big Pinocchio."
  • Alessandra reveals a surprising connection between her and Robert Sherman. Robert had identical twin granddaughters and Alessandra's brother dated them both without telling them so he's been banned from their house. One of history's greatest songwriting legends had a personal grudge against her brother.
  • Jenny says John Canemaker sounds like either a serial killer or a space alien based on how rigidly and clinically he describes animation.
  • Jenny is shocked when Tony says he didn't like Smart House.

Newsies

  • Nicholas says that when he first watched the movie, he loved it so much that he had to pause the movie and gush about it to his sister.
  • Tony shamefully admits that he's never seen the play or the movie, which makes him a bad Disney fan.
  • Tony compares the line "Why do grown-ups talk?" to the memetic phrase "OK, boomer."
  • Nicholas wonders how the movie Newsies could afford to eat at restaurants if they're not making any money.
  • Dave calls Pullitzer's song "Bottom Line" the "Bob Chapek Anthem."
  • Tony says that Crutchy was given that name by his parents and it was a complete coincidence that he broke his leg later on.
  • David asks "How many Disney movies end in Deus Ex Roosevelt?" note 
  • Nicholas says that Gangs of New York is like if Martin Scorsese said "What if the Newsies wasn't fun and also sucked and was three hours long?"
    Dave: But it's cinema!note 
  • Alessandra says "Hard Disney Plus. I want Jeremy Jordan to snap my neck."
  • The next movie the randomizer assigns them is Jack (1996), causing Tony and Kevin to burst out laughing.

Jack (1996):

  • They mock the Serial Escalation of the scene where more and more kids start playing outside Jack's house hoping to coax him out of his Heroic BSoD. They imagine a full-blown parade outside his house and Elon Musk appearing in a Drill Tank.
  • The font of the credits in this lighthearted kids' movie looks like a ransom note.
  • They imagine that contractual obligation was the only way the studio could have gotten so many talented people to work on such a bad movie.
  • The movie is mistakenly listed on Disney Plus as a superhero movie. Tony speculates that it was a Take That! to Francis Ford Coppola for siding with Martin Scorsese in insulting superhero movies.
    • And earlier, Tony calls out Coppola's hypocrisy since he literally made a theme park movie with Captain EO.
  • For the "What's the Attraction?" segment, Tony proposes an attraction where the Genie selects a bunch of kids and has a contest over who can act the most like a grown-up Robin Williams. It will be called the Jack-Off. The others react appropriately.

Bug Juice: My Adventures at Camp Episode 16

Shipwrecked

  • Chris speculates that the movie is about an alternate universe where the Reylo ship from The Rise of Skywalker didn't happen and all the shippers rioted.
  • When they come back from watching the movie, they all speak in exaggerated Scandinavian accents.

  • They discuss the film's Artistic License – History. Tony mentions a Futurama scene where the characters travel back to the 20th century and want to go disco-dancing and mammoth-hunting.
  • Then they move on to biology. At the start of the movie, Chris hopes that a monkey shows up just so he can bitch about it being in the wrong place. That actually happens.
  • For the "What's the Attraction" bit, Zach suggests chucking kids off the Columbia and making them escape Tom Sawyer Island while being waylaid by a guy in a gorilla suit. Tony suggests the same thing, but with real gorillas.

The Little Mermaid (1992) (series) S3E3 - "Island of Fear"

  • Rob Bergman, the patron who won Tony's contest to identify everyone in the Zip-Ah-Dee-Doo-Dah montage coincidentally also won the "Show Me Your Doc" contest for the Some Jerk with a Camera episode on Back to the Future: The Ride. So he's very good at winning contests set up specifically by Tony Goldmark.
    Morgan: Hashtag Obscure Superpowers!
  • Morgan remembers being terrified of an episode where a creepy sponge latches onto people's brains and sucks out their imagination. Kyle Carrozza says it sounds like Jhonen Vasquez wrote that episode.
  • Tony wonders why Ariel's merman friend Urchin doesn't appear in the movie. Kitty speculates that he died on his way back to his home planet.
  • Tony's first comment after watching the episode: "What the fuck was that?"
  • Morgan wonders how many kids were unintentionally traumatized by this show. Tony imagines a little girl who wants to see the Little Mermaid shocked by the sudden appearance of CRAB MONSTERS!
  • Kyle says the show probably would've given more kids nightmares if it were animated better.
  • They speculate that the whole writing staff of the show is just disaffected horror writers resentful they had to work on The Little Mermaid.
  • Tony imagines that Dr. Vile's grandchild will eventually insist that his name is pronounced "vee-lay".

  • "CRAB EXPERIMENTS!"
  • For the "What's The Attraction?" portion, Morgan proposes "Crab Experiments" as a new dish at a park restaurant.
  • Tony suggests that random riders on "Ariel's Undersea Adventure" be taken down an alternate path to Dr. Vile's laboratory.

Milo Murphy's Law S1E12-13 - Missing Milo parts 1 & 2

  • Tony says if you split his brain in half, it would just be half Disney trivial and half "Weird Al" Yankovic trivia. Zach says that the middle of his brain must just be "Skipper Dan" on repeat.
  • The ad for the podcast Channel KRT starts like an ad for a medicine, with Katie asking if you find yourself wondering if the obscure TV show you once saw was real or just a fever dream. It ends with Katie saying "Cut to static".
  • Tony says one of his hobbies is collecting rare Weird Al songs that aren't on any albums. Jeff asks if Tony secretly records Al in the shower.
  • Tony tells Zach that the show's Zack is one of those "heathens" that spells their name with a K. Zach says it means he'll grow up to write bad DC movies.
  • "And that's all we're going to say about Harry Potter!"note 
  • For the "What's the Attraction?" segment, Zach suggests converting "Great Times With Mr. Lincoln" into a show about everything that's gone wrong in 2020. They'll call it "Milo Murphy's Year."
  • Tony laments that they couldn't get someone from the Weird Al podcast "Weird Alphabet" to join them only for David Spencer to call in and ask to join at the very last minute.
  • Tony refers to Chicken Little as a "classic?"

Chicken Little

  • Tony starts by talking about an old Disney short by the same name, which involves a fox reading Mein Kampf. The book's title was later changed to Psychology because they didn't want the movie to become dated after the war.
  • Tony calls Cars 2 garbage. Luke, who loves the Cars franchise, says his ears suddenly caught COVID and he couldn't hear anything he just said.
  • Luke compares Disney in its transitional early-2000s era to an awkward, directionless teenager going through puberty. Tony builds on the analogy by comparing the current Disney era to a person having a mid-life crisis and being obsessed with nostalgia.
  • Luke's description of the opening scene for The Emperor's New Groove
  • While discussing the appearance of the live-action Raiders of the Lost Ark in the movie, Luke says they should have made Indiana Jones a dog for the Mythology Gag and so they could name the movie Raiders of the Lost Bark.
  • The gang mocks how dated the movie is due to the Bare Naked Ladies song and a scene where several characters take out their phones and call their friends rather than texting.
  • David says the movie reminded him of being the worst kid on his Little League team. After one lucky hit, he's transferred to infield...where he breaks his thumb and is out for the rest of the season.
  • Tony remembers the Nightmare Fuel promotion where Disney California Adventure and Disney MGM Studios had giant Chicken Little balloons peering over the tops of buildings. One Twitter user posted the pic with the caption "Bow before your God!"
  • In a call-back to the "Raiders of the Lost Bark" joke, Luke says "Rakes, why did it have to be rakes?" in a Scooby-Doo voice.
    Tony: The Sideshow Bob Story.

The Rocketeer

  • Ryan Hipp claims he's been divorced from his fellow panelists a total of seven times.
  • Doggans recalls discovering the Rocketeer read-along book and tape in a used book store and thinking "Wow, Disney made a superhero movie?"
  • Ryan's aside explaining to younger viewers what a tape is. "It's like Spotify, except it sucks. And now, back to the AARP podcast!"
  • During a digression on Dick Tracy, Alessandra teases a story about how her family knows and hates Warren Beatty but she doesn't explain why and decides to save her story for later.
  • In the transition, Tony goes on a serious discussion of how Disney is laying off 28,000 cast members due to the pandemic while its executive salaries have been returned to pre-pandemic levels. He ends with "And now, back to my podcast about the jetpack movie!"
  • Alessandra says she loved everything about the movie except the lead character.
  • Tony says there's a fine line between Timothy Dalton playing a hammy actor and Dalton just being a "board-certified hammy actor."
  • Tony says how Neville Sinclair would probably get "Me Too'd" nowadays before they all start mocking all the apologists and victim-blamers that defend celebrity predators.
    Alessandra: Every wealthy person has a large collection of women's robes on-hand.
    Tony: #IStandWithNaziBob
    Dave: Look, you're going to cancel him and now he's just going to make $600,000 a month off of his podcast.
    Ryan: Wait, I'm getting word in my ear that Neville Sinclair is now the new correspondant for Fox News.
  • They all reluctantly admit that while it's a sexual assault scene, Jenny's scene with Neville is still pretty hot.
  • Doggans repeatedly plugging his Patreon after being prompted by Ryan.
  • The guy the Rocketeer saves from the plane is played by someone who would later play Jonathan Kent. Tony jokes that he would've told the Rocketeer not to save him because people are watching.

  • Tony imagines Elton John saying "Fuck you!" during the scene where they reject "Rocket Man" as a potential nickname for the Rocketeer.
  • Ryan jokes that if Tom Cruise were playing the Rocketeer, he'd try to get himself killed by a real jetpack.
  • While discussing modern news' attempts to be neutral, Tony mocks the term "racially charged", as if there's a "racist battery" or something.
  • They wonder where Nazis got animators for their propaganda movies. They imagine Leni Riefenstahl branching out into animation and creating Leni Riefenstahl-Toons.
    Alessandra: I'm leaving.
  • They lament that animator Mark Dindal has fallen from Rocketeer to Wonder Park.

Return to Oz

  • Tony says that, as a little kid, the flying monkeys weren't too scary for him but he was terrified of Grover.
  • Tony's story about how, while building the Great Movie Ride, Michael Eisner refused to use Return to Oz for the climax and insisted on using the classic Wizard of Oz movie regardless of how much money they had to pay for licensing. Everyone Has Standards indeed. note 
  • Right before the cutaway, Morgan says "Pray for us."
  • When they come back, Tony's first reaction is "I need an adult."
    Morgan: I'm not old enough for this movie.
    Tony: I'm either not old or drunk or perverted enough for this movie.
  • Morgan's "Is this what Gen Xers had to grow up with? Because this might explain a lot."
  • Tony describes the movie as a lobotomized Labyrinth. He also calls it "the cinematic equivalent of being molested."
  • Tony compares Walter Murch as The Team Wannabe to film-school graduates who took over Hollywood in the 80's like Coppola, Lucas, Spielberg, and Zemeckis.

  • Morgan's father walked in on her during the "hall of Mombi's disembodied heads" scene and saw it completely without context.

  • Kevin, who is from Kansas, is baffled that Dorothy always wants to go back to "fucking boring" Kansas rather than stay in Oz and become royalty.
  • Tony says the movie is the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice of its era: taking beloved childhood icons and darkening them while calling it a Deconstruction. Sydney warns him that he's going to piss off the Patrons who asked for it.
  • Kevin suggests watching the movie while high. Tony says this would only make the movie more terrifying and make you swear off pot forever, turning the movie into a "scared straight" program.

While You Were Sleeping

  • Tony can only think of two movies released by Hollywood Pictures: The Sixth Sense and Super Mario Bros. (1993).
  • Tony says lyricist Nick Hornby's greatest fear for the song "From Above" was that nobody would remember the movie While You Were Sleeping.
  • The State of the Parks segment, where Tony mentions an interview Max Landis did with Jenny Nicholson which you can watch "If you can stand looking at his stupid face." Landis' idea was that human souls couldn't travel at light speed so space travelers would often return as zombies. Nicholson points out how similar this is to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
  • Tony wonders why the family doesn't postpone Christmas festivities while one of their family members is in a coma.
  • While discussing how many authentic shots of Chicago were in the film, Tim quips that you can see his car being towed in one of them.note

  • Kitty calls Tony racist against chairs and Tony has to issue an apology.note 
  • They discuss the "Friends" Rent Control in the movie and how Peter's (Gallagher's character) apartment looks like a conference room in a corporate office. Luke points out that Peter is so narcissistic that he has more pictures of himself than his family.
  • Tim says his wife has seen the movie and laughed hysterically when she found out he had to watch it.
  • You can tell Peter's real fiancee is evil because SHE'S BLONDE!!!
  • Tony says how Saul Tuttle was so stereotypically Jewish that they probably wanted someone like Mel Brooks to play him. While the actor is Jewish, Kitty says "He doesn't look Druish!"
  • Luke describes the character of Joe Junior as a stereotypical Italian asked to demonstrate what a stereotypical Italian would act like.
  • Their disgust at Bullock dipping an Oreo in milk her cat just drank. Tony says it's her fetish while Kitty speculates this is where the cat flu from Escape from Tomorrow started.

Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas

  • As he's only caught bits of this movie while visiting relatives with small children, Tony says he's never "intentionally" watched it. One of the guests envisions someone walking up to Tony on the street and shoving an iPhone with the movie into his face.
  • While attending a Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, Sydney remembers seeing a boy viewing a diorama where Scrooge McDuck being dragged into Hell by the Ghost of Christmas Future and asking his mom what was happening. The mother answered "She's helping him get out of the hole!"
  • The movie is narrated by Kelsey Grammer so Tony includes one of his sweet Christmas movie narrations interrupted by the sound of Sideshow Bob stepping on a rake and getting whacked in the face.

  • Their discussion of ducks eating turkey.

  • Tony points out that David keeps coincidentally getting assigned movies that parody the boulder scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark: Chicken Little, UHF, and this movie.

  • Tony claims that Tom Holland will appear on the podcast to read off the next randomizer selection, only to get interrupted by Carl Featherbottom, who says that if he doesn't read off the next selection, Christmas will be canceled!

Richie Rich's Christmas Wish

  • Dave is angry that they did While You Were Sleeping without him.
  • The return of the twelve-year-old criminal alien Santa Claus Carl Featherbottom. Though he was twelve in his last appearance a year ago, he says he's now fifty-five because 2020 aged him so much.
  • Carl claims he ran into Tim Allen and made him watch all of Geppetto on his phone. When Drew Carey started singing, Tim died.
  • Randee calls Superstar Limo the The Black Cauldron of the Disney Parks. It has no musicals and it's an abortion.

    Dave: But they did in my fanfiction!
  • Carl's lawyer is Rudy Giuliani, who he gave COVID.
  • Carl put Tim Allen's corpse in Randee's closet as an early Christmas present. Randee is pissed because she asked for seat covers.
  • Right before they break to watch the movie, Carl says "God help us, every one!"
  • Tony calls the movie "dangerously nineties" due to the Special Effects Failure. Randee says the green screen was so bad it reminded her of the speeder bike chase in Return of the Jedi.
  • They compare Reggie, the rich bratty villain, to Donald Trump. Then they learn that Reggie's mother is played by Trump's second wife. They speculate that Trump modeled his entire personality off Reggie and even has his own wishing machine.
  • The gang wonders why the wishing machine only works on Christmas Eve and not on birthdays or any other time lots of people are wishing. Dave invents wishichlorians.
  • They speculate on what unethical eugenics resulted in a dog covered in dollar signs.
  • They wonder how the Riches got their money and Randee speculates that Richie's dad is doing some "Pablo Escobar shit."
  • Randee lived in a dumpster, died, got mistaken for a mannequin, and thrown in a lake. Then she was rescued by a mermaid and, though she hoped for an Interspecies Romance, they had different goals.
  • Tony is horrified that two adult women flirt with the underage Richie. Later, Randee points out an Easter Egg where one of the original Richie Rich comics appears...on Richie's boxers.
  • Tony says that if Reggie is Donald Trump, Richie is Mitt Romney. He's better but he's not good.
  • The Running Gag where Carl talks about his past but his inconsistent age keeps randomly changing. Tony thinks he's the physical embodiment of the randomizer and yells at him for making him watch Jack (1996). Dave expected him to look more like Katey Sagal.
  • Carl proposes a sequel where Reggie is visited by three ghosts after being visited by the ghost of Cadbury in chains. Then he pats himself on the back for his completely original idea.
  • Randee claims that Tommy Wiseau is in her house and talking to her dog. He used the wishing machine to gain the ability to fly and Randee chases him out with a broom. note 
  • Carl remembers a scene where a homeless people look at something and say it looks infected. "I probably gave it to him."
  • Tony wishes that, when a homeless kid asks if he has something to eat, Richie had said "Just this dog."

  • Tony says one plan for the unused CBJ theater was an animatronic show called "Mark Twain Tonight." Madeline says it sounds like a talk show.

  • Madeline hates the movie so much she considered pretending to watch the movie and letting Chris cover for her.
  • The movie's introduction of Jim, which turns him from a mildly superstitious slave to an outright soothsayer, is so offensive that they feel the need to apologize to all practitioners of Voodoo, black people, Romani, and Louisianans.
  • Morgan says Ron Perlman, who played Huck's father, was on "an all-scenery diet. Even his corpse chews the scenery somehow."

Madeline, a trans woman, jokes that she found out she was really a woman when she threw a ball at a muskrat and missed.

The Cat from Outer Space

  • One of Tony's patrons requested this for Patron Request Month, saying "It's definitely a movie."
  • Doggans remembers a How I Met Your Mother joke where The '80s didn't make it to Canada until 1994 and says that describes Disney between Walt and Eisner perfectly.

  • They mock the Wall of Text opening credits and pity the small-time actors who didn't get a chance to see themselves on the big screen because their faces were covered by their own names.

  • They say the UFO looks like a sex toy.
  • When the cat first used his time-freezing powers, Tony thought Disney Plus was buffering because they do nothing but literally stop the movie.
  • They mock a scene where a man flies but you can still see the wires. This came out the same year as Superman: The Movie.
  • They point out that the movie has a scene where an alien makes a bike fly but, unlike the iconic scene from ET The Extraterrestrial, this was just a dull scene where the bike barely clears the gate. Tony points out this is the perfect microcosm of the difference in creativity between Disney and Steven Spielberg.
  • Tony calls Morgan the world's only Cat From Outer Space stan. She has analyzed and dissected the movie like it's Star Wars. Morgan again shouts "I apologize for nothing!"

  • Dave mocks the cat for complaining about being isolated on a spaceship for five whole months.

The Country Bears

  • Tony starts the podcast with an advertisement for Godiva Goldmark collection of chocolates, playing it completely straight for several minutes before revealing that it's not an actual paid advertisement and he has no connection to the company. He just wanted to talk about it because the name is the same.
  • Tony introduces the podcast by saying it's been 10 years since his first Some Jerk with a Camera episode before remarking on how old they all are. David says he's just a stuffed head mounted on the wall, Morgan introduces herself with a loooong sigh of exasperation, and Charlie showcases just a "little more enthusiasm" with a deadpan "Yay."
  • Tony once said that he made Windows Movie Maker his "bitch" on the That Guy With The Glasses forums.note

  • Tony jokes that someday he'll review the Disneyland vaccination tents. "They don't fit theming at all!"
  • Tony says that when he spends weeks watching a bad movie for a review, he develops a sort of Stockholm Syndrome where he gains a newfound appreciation for it. This happened for Country Bears and the ABC episodes he reviewed but not ''Escape from Tomorrow."
    Tony: I still hate that piece of shit!
  • The movie's DVD extras are written as if the Country Bears are a real band and the movie is a biopic of their lives. However, Tony points out that while one of the "bears" is giving an interview, an empty costume will be shown in the background, giving the impression that one of their actors just died on set.
  • Dave's bit of Fridge Horror that, by marketing themselves as a "bear" act in a universe where sentient bears coexist with humans, the Country Bears are basically a minstrel act. Tony says that Barry's brother is a racist who probably grew up to join the January 6, 2021 riots at the US Capitol Building.
  • Tony remembers being a fanboy of "Weird Al" Yankovic much like Barry was to the Country Bears. He'd often interrupt conversations with random Weird Al trivia and relate every school project back to Weird Al to the point where teachers thought something was wrong with him.
  • Dave says that Haley Joel Osment sounds more like Christopher Walken in this movie than Christopher Walken.
  • They remember Doug Walker's joke about Walken's line "This isn't over (beat) BEARS!" at the end as if he'd just realized there were bears in the movie. Tony says he didn't mention it because he didn't want to overtly ride Walker's coattails. Until the The Sorcerer's Apprentice review.
  • Tony relates an anecdote about Elton John's time on the movie. One of the bears malfunctions, causing its lower bear to droop down and to the side. John says "Looks like me when I've had too much blow."
  • Tony's mother, a friend of Roger McGuinn, reacts to Byrds music being used in the movie. "Well, at least Roger made some money off this."
  • Morgan compares the filmmakers to someone trying to save a sinking ship by turning it into a submarine and just heading for the bottom.

Earth Live

  • They say the title sounds like either a flashy Broadway musical show or a horror movie about dirty zombies.
  • They mock the fact that a 2017 movie uses "in full color" as a selling point by acting like old-fashioned filmmakers amazed at color technology.
  • Tony describes the movie as a nature documentary filtered through Sports Center or Election Night coverage. Cassie calls it a belabored live stream. Zach says watching it felt like sitting in a dentist's waiting room.
  • Luke says that, in nature documentaries, only about two percent of what they shoot is useful so the concept behind this movie was to have fifty-some cameras all over the world so that at any point, one of them must be shooting something interesting.
  • Zach points out that every cinematographer gets a big, fancy introduction as if they're all going to get into a ring and fight to the death.
  • Luke says their attempts to sensationalize a nature documentary sounds like a Monty Python sketch. They then cut to Tony, who's watching a dead stick bug. Next is Zach, who insists that they take more time talking about him, the cameraman. Then Cassie who has found literally nothing but did record some lemurs earlier.
  • Cassie proposes a drinking game for every time the movie says they're showing you something "live". Even when there's a caption that says "previously recorded."
    • Jane Lynch's reaction to them showing previously recorded footage of badgers fucking. "Oh, so we're choosing to show this."
  • Tony says one of the experts studied badger shit for five years. Not badger stuff. Literal badger shit.
    Scientist: I didn't have that many girlfriends.
    Tony: You fucked a badger, didn't you.
  • One guy recording the sharks says "I don't have any protection." Tony interprets that exactly how you'd expect him to. He then imagines that, after the long intro, they cut back and there's nothing there but a bloody torso in the water.
    Luke: That's how the Python sketch would've ended.
  • Luke says how a biologist taunting crocodiles with a rubber tube meant for measuring their jaw strength reminded him of a standup comedy routine about Jacques Cousteau taking on a giant squid.
  • Luke's impression of Phil Keoghan eagerly hoping for an "animal snuff film."
  • Cassie's spiel about how dangerous hippos are. "Hippos will ruin your entire fucking day." She ends with "Stigmatize hippos!" after a bit where she called for the destigmatization of sharks.
  • They reimagine one of the hosts as a supervillain after he says "Tonight animals take over the earth. Just as it should be."
  • They imagine how the inventor of a drone meant to collect humpback whale mucus specimens must feel to have his invention nicknamed "The Snot Bot." Zach points out he'll probably get turned into Mysterio someday.
  • Several of the animals seem to give an Aside Glance, as if saying they're fed up with being followed around by all these annoying humans.

Bonus Minisode! March Will Be Muppet Month!

  • Tony includes some outtakes from the Country Bears podcast in which everyone does their best impression of Christopher Walken's "Oh no! Country Bear Hall has been crushed!" He says Morgan's sounds more like Tommy Wiseau.

  • When the main character's song is described as "viral", Josh jokes that it's not just viral, it's terminal.

  • Tony, after worrying he's going to make some enemies with his opinion due to the movie's subject matter, says the movie sucks. Kyle is relieved Tony said so.
  • MarzGurl calls it a secular version of a Christian movie.
  • They make fun of the song "Clouds" itself for being milquetoast and mediocre. Tony compares it to "This Song" by Paul and Storm while Josh says it reminds him of the music that would play on the radio while he bagged groceries.
  • Tony's first note on the entire movie. "It opens with a shot of clouds and the clouds form the word 'Clouds.' Strap the fuck in, motherfuckers." Kyle wonders what they'd do if Zach's hit song was called "Beef."
  • At the end, there's a photo with all Zach's friends and a cloud shaped like a Z in the background. Kaylyn says that Ultraman Z must've shown up while Tony jokes that God is Zorro.
  • Kaylyn makes fun of Josh's love for women in glasses and apologizes for still being able to see.
  • Kyle says he's triggered by the sight of any red hat now.
  • Tony is confused by the existence of Christian Rock when Christians already have Gospel Music, which is awesome and inextricably Christian. Kaylyn then discusses how churches are trying to be hip by having their own rock bands.
  • They mock a scene dedicated to one rather innocuous mean Youtube comment the song got.
  • They mock the Totally Radical parts of the movie that were clearly written by older people imagining what teenagers were like. Teens in The New '10s listen to a Sum 41 song and one of them crushes on Tom Hanks from Big.

    Emily: He's probably omni, I'm just saying.
  • "BEG FOR MERCY, COLE SLAW!"note

  • Tony jokes about how Kevin's overzealous fans tried to get him onto the Muppet Month shows by throwing bricks through his window and leaving a bloody Kermit head in his bed.
  • Michael Hunter remembers a story of going to school right next to a Jim Henson studio. One time he saw them carrying the Big Bird costume out of the studio in segments, as if they'd hunted him and brought him back for meat.

  • Tony's many Take Thats to Ricky Gervais, who he used to admire but has since become "a sad parody of himself."

  • Tony says Kermit the Frog caused the September 11 attacks, a reference to a 2002 It's a Wonderful Life Muppets parody where Kermit wishes he was never born and they use a stock New York City skyline with the World Trade Center intact.

The Muppet Show S4E18 - "Christopher Reeve"

  • The appearance of "Sam Eagle" as a Moral Guardian here to make sure the podcast remains free of profanity and nudity.
    • The guys reveal that they're all naked and Tony's so naked he even took off some of his skin.
    • Sam Eagle is an anti-masker. Tony points out that not wearing a mask is a form of nudity.
  • Luke claims there are two versions of the podcast, the one that exists now and a "Ryan Hipp Cut" that is eight hours long and will be released five years later but only if you harass enough people to get it.
    Luke: Because if there's one thing content creators like, it's getting harassed to make new content. Right Tony?
    Tony: Just makes my dick grow another inch every time it happens.
  • The Running Gag where Sam adds and deducts points for the podcast.
    • Tony apologizes to "Sam" for his vulgar language. Sam responds that the podcast is now at negative fifty points.
    • They fall to negative sixty points but mentioning "Muppet Rambo" gets them back up to positive ten.

The Emperor's New Groove

  • Their discussion of The Sweatbox, the documentary of the movie's Troubled Production. Tony says the documentary was so embarrassing that Disney buried it in the vault next to Song of the South and "that documentary where they killed all those lemmings."
  • While discussing the movie's Troubled Production, Tony points out that Kuzco was originally called Manco until someone points out that manko is a Japanese term for genitalia. He speculates that this person was an anime fan.
  • They mention the movie was almost an early role for a pre-fame Owen Wilson.
    Luke: Fortunately, he got another chance in the beloved Cars franchise that Tony loves so much.
  • Their discussion of Mark Dindal, the director of the movie who worked his way up from drawing lots and lots of bubbles in The Little Mermaid (1989).
  • Regarding The Sweatbox, Luke says "I don't care where the stuff I love comes from! I just love the stuff I love!"
  • Luke remembers a Reddit discussion where someone praises Yzma's character design and some "goober" mistakes it for sexual attraction. Tony says that Yzma was definitely attractive when she was younger.
  • Luke remembers how while working on Mighty Magiswords, Kyle got so annoyed at the notes he received that he just improvised nonsense with lots of Buffy Speak, Lampshade Hanging, and Biting-the-Hand Humor.
    Luke as Kyle: "Let's do the thing with stuff!" That's the line? Yes, that's the line! We're moving on!
  • Tony says the scene where Pacha explains the concept of empathy to Kuzco is so realistic, he's certain someone in the writing staff had an unrepentant narcissist in their family.
    Tony: You just want to fucking scream at them eventually! I don't know how else to tell you that you should care about people other than yourself! You know how when you go outside you see all those lumps of flesh and clothing walking around? Those are called "other people" and they're not just robots programmed to make The Matrix more realistic! You're not fucking Neo!
  • Tony says you can never trust someone who makes declarative positive statements about themselves. Luke then plugs his music at "The Great Luke Ski dot com".
  • Tony says his ex-wife made him sit through Dune (1984) three times and, even if you put a gun to his head, he couldn't tell you what that movie was about. He remembers nothing about it except that Sting is almost naked in it.
  • Lindsay Smith's bafflement at The '90s' obsession with Riverdance, which now seems as dated as Shrek's inclusion of the Macarena.
  • Tony points out that the screenplay for the movie technically wasn't finished until after the movie was in theaters. The animators went off storyboards instead of a proper script. A bunch of interns took disorganized script pages, wrote interstitials, and slapped screenwriter David Reynolds' name on it so that Disney archives could have it for record-keeping purposes.

Spider-Man (1981) Episode 18 - "The Capture of Captain America"

  • Il Neige notes that the episode title before this is "The Canon of Doom". Not cannon, but canon. He imagines Spider-Man and Doctor Doom sitting around debating what's canon in Star Wars.
  • Their parody Spider-Man theme song to the tune of "Hooray for Hollywood", complete with a Precision F-Strike.
  • They mock an in-universe propaganda film starring Captain America.

    • They call the Red Skull Cap's greatest enemy, implying that Hitler was just some nobody.
  • They point out that, in this timeline, Jameson was probably a child during World War II and he somehow grew up thinking that his Hitler mustache was perfectly fine.
  • At one point, Jameson does the Pelosi Clap.
  • Dave compares Red Skull playing with a Captain America action figure to Dark Helmet.
  • The guys laugh at Spidey using the word "piker" and Tim, the oldest person on the show, says that even in 1981 that would've been considered Totally Radical.
  • Tony says Red Skull's "Skull Ship" looks like a big red dick. Garrett imagines that this is what the Asset's dick looks like.
  • Jameson calls Spider-Man, among other things, a "sellout" as if he'd just signed with a major record label.
  • They mock Spidey's plan to rescue Cap: Steal a Halloween costume of Captain America, pretend to be Cap, conveniently find a pilot who doesn't know Cap has been kidnapped, then fly around randomly until they find Red Skull's castle.
  • Red Skull's plan is to switch his brain with Captain America, allowing the Nazi to pretend to be a symbol of patriotism. Tony says this is basically what happened to the Republican Party.
  • Red Skull's assistant wanted the brain-switching device to be used for good...somehow.
  • While discussing Red Skull's well-intentioned scientist assistant, Garrett makes a joke about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings.
    Tony: Oh God.
    Garrett: What, too soon?
  • They discuss the bizarre standards that kids' shows were bound by. They couldn't show Cap and Spidey actually beating up other people but they could show them executing Red Skull by putting him in the brain-switching device without anyone in the other chair, basically dispersing his mind into the ether while leaving his corpse behind.
  • Cap says he'll suggest Jameson declare "Spider-Man Day." Tony says Spider-Man doesn't need One More Day.

  • Taking the show's title literally, Tony claims he's been locked in a vault for 48 episodes and his cohosts are just starvation-induced hallucinations.

    Tony: That was certainly a bunch of stuff.
    Kevin: I would also describe it as stuff.
  • Tony says Legend of Mor'du is an origin story for the Country Bears and says the witch from Brave must have a fetish for turning people into bears because she's done it twice.
  • Tony expresses (sarcastic) amazement that John Lasseter would create "Party Central", a short where the male frat boys kidnap women to go to their party.
  • Charlie says that Hellgate in "Party Central" is the most metal thing Pixar has ever animated.
  • Kevin imagines "Riley's First Date" was written by trapping every straight person at Pixar in a room and just having them say whatever pops into their head.
    Kevin: It's just so straight.
    Tony: The straightest thing to happen in San Francisco.
  • The gang cringes at Riley's mom's use of slang so hard that Tony calls the character a "digital Karen."
  • The hosts wonder if kids these days still form bands rather than just posting music to Soundcloud. Haley is confident that San Francisco hipster kids will try to form garage bands purely because they're not popular any more.
  • Kevin imagines Pixar just has a computer file called "Ellen Degeneres' Wondrous Grunts."
  • Haley says "Soul of the City" is basically a screensaver. Tony compares it to ASMR.

  • The "State of the Parks" segment is just Tony gushing over the announcement of "Muppets Haunted Mansion."

  • MarzGurl's exaggerated Texan accent.
  • Josh says David Harper does a "Frankenstein kaiju impersonation."
  • Josh says Don Knotts is dressed like "Willy Wonka as a pimp."
  • "SERGEANT SLAUGHTER VERSUS THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG, THIS SUNDAY AT WRESTLEMANIA!"
  • They wonder why Marthanote  never seems to look at anyone while talking. Is she blind? Is she just rude? Is the actress reading cue cards and they just did a poor job of hiding it?

Go Figure

  • The description of the movie is so formulaic that the guests start making predictions of what will happen. Eventually Madeline declares they don't even need to watch the movie.

    Tony: No one who's not an egotistical piece of shit says shit like that!

  • Tony mocks the robot standing in front of a Zamboni like it's Tiananmen Square.
  • They realize that this movie came out the same year as Ice Princess, another Disney movie about figure skating that involves a math nerd. They imagine Disney accidentally rented out the ice rink for twice as much time as they needed and Michael Eisner told them to just make another movie.
  • "There's nothing better than hockey players fighting and children fighting!"
  • Their genuine love of the protagonist's two figure-skating coaches, who are better parents than her actual parents. Sydney says they seem like a woman who married her Gay Best Friend to keep him safe.
  • Madeline says the movie makes her want to vomit, drink her vomit, and vomit again.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

  • "EVERYBODY WHITE!"
  • Zach's "Gyllenhaal does sound like the name of a factory where they make white people."

  • "You get a British accent! You get a British accent!"
  • "Man I'm so Zen right now. You wanna go fuck up some Crusaders?"note 
  • Zach points out that Disney frequently uses the Bald of Evil. "Pan over to a picture of Bob Chapek!"
  • This exchange
    Tony: Don't you just hate it when you wake up from a hangover and Alfred Molina on horseback is just there randomly spouting exposition at you?
    Morgan: I'm like "Aw, is it Tuesday again?"

  • "Can I get 'What's the point if you're not going to fuck that ostrich?' on a T-shirt, please?"

  • Tony's reaction to the movie having so many scenes of Josh, the teenage protagonist, bathing. "Are we on a watchlist?"

  • Janelle says she suddenly got really tired watching the movie.
    Janelle: I was just sitting here and suddenly my whole body got tired. Is this what Disney Channel original movies do to you?
    Tony: Oh yes! Every time.
    Cody: They sap your life force.
  • "I almost said 'This ain't it, chief' but then I stopped myself."

Fantastic Four: The Animated Series - S1E3 - "Now Comes the Sub-Mariner"

  • Tony hypes up Ian Bond and Devo Spice with elaborate introductions detailing their long bodies of work but says he only does that for newcomers. Afterwards, his intros will be nothing but names and locations.
  • "Aqua-Douche".
  • Tony calls Whitehall from Jungle Cruise "Disney's eighteenth or nineteenth first gay character (TM)."
  • This exchange
    "Now we know what it would look like if Captain Planet made fetish porn!"
    "Butts, butts, butts!"
  • They bluntly call Namor a rapist. He uses pollution to justify declaring war on the surface world but is really just using that threat to force Sue to stay with him in Atlantis.

  • They mock the title "Now Comes the Sub-Mariner" in light of Namor's Stripperiffic outfit.

  • Tony says NBA Commissioner Adam Silver looks like a bad wax figure of Jeffrey Katzenberg.
  • "There's a disturbing amount of bondage in this movie."

The Simpsons S4E17 — "Last Exit to Springfield"

  • Tony predicts in "What's the Attraction?" that Disney would plan a re-theme of Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage into a Yellow Submarine ride, as a tie-in with The Beatles: Get Back, only to realize that they still don't own Yellow Submarine. At the last minute, they'd instead decide to re-theme the ride after the parody Lisa dreams up while under the influence of laughing gas.

    (Awkward silence)
    Madeleine: Well, you don't have to tell me that.
  • When they discuss the closing credits featuring the King Harvest song "Dancing in the Moonlight", Madeline asks if the song was ever featured in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Tony says no, but everyone comments how it could be a great fit. Cut to post-recording Tony adding a note because he discovered that James Gunn stated he gets this song requested more than any other song by a landslide, and he will never include it in a ''Guardians'' film because of it.
  • Jack has trouble with the "What's the Attraction" segment because there's no idea so good that Disneyland can't fuck it up. He then goes into a rant about Dole whip, which now use cheap canned pineapple and Dixie cups instead of sundae cups.
    • Jack then says Disney will make Piggy a Disney Princess and add a body-positivity message, which he thinks would be good if done "earnestly" but bad because they'd be doing it for the wrong reasons.
    Madeleine: Jack, I'm sorry to say this but what the fuck are you talking about? What the fuck was anything you just said? I feel like I had a stroke listening to that.

Viking Warrior Women

  • Making fun of the Viewers Are Morons/Viewers Are Goldfish tendencies the special has, Tony and Ryan have a ton of fun impersonating the voice and tone whenever the narrator says "Forensic evidence shows...". This includes imagining what it would be like if the podcast was structured that way, and even introducing "What's the Attraction?" the same way.

Roger Rabbit Shorts

  • Sidney says Jessica Rabbit was her "bisexual awakening" and that she initially mistook that for wanting to be her. Tony remembers a previous episode where a young Randee thought she wanted to "be friends" with various female Disney Channel stars because she didn't know what "gay" was yet.
  • They do a mock "What's the Attraction?" segment for The Silence of the Lambs. Tony says it would probably be an eatery rather than a ride.
  • They spend so much of the intro talking about their attraction to Jessica Rabbit that Tony calls it the "Jessica Rabbit Thirst Podcast."
  • Kyle's "Not A Burger Stand" story, where he'd draw a cartoon character or celebrity on a chalkboard and give discounts to whoever ordered in their voice. They'd also give free meals if the actual celebrity or character's actor showed up. Charles Fleischer actually did show up and posted a photo of the sign on Instagram.
  • Tony recounts stories of Fleischer actually dressed up in a rabbit costume to play Roger Rabbit.
    • They play clips of Fleischer jokingly lamenting he did three years of acting school and did Shakespeare and now he's playing a rabbit.

  • The female teacher shows a childhood photo of herself dressed up as Sebastian, making her one of Agatha's crab experiments.

    Chris: Well, in theme park terms, they had nothing to replace it with.

  • Their idea for Who Framed Roger Rabbit porn: Roger railing Eddie Valiant and a weasel while Jessica Rabbit is off to the side doing a crossword puzzle or something.
  • Jack says how great it is to be a man because you can look someone in the eye and make them shit their pants. The others take this to some...interesting places.

Encanto

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir S4E11 - Rocketear

  • At the end of the episode, Tony points out that in the entirety of the podcast up to this point, they have yet to review anything Star Wars-related, and decides to celebrate May the Fourth with a purely Star Wars-themed randomizer. Luke reads off the result:
    Luke: Star Wars.
    Tony: (beat) Star Wars what?
    Luke: Tony, when I was three years old, a movie came out and it was called Star Wars.
    Tony: Oh, Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope?
    Luke: There were no other stupid words! It was simply called Star Wars, Tony! STAR WARS!

A New Hope

  • The entire concept of the podcast episode. It takes place in a universe in which the film was a Box Office Bomb, resulting in both the film and director George Lucas to fade into complete obscurity. This makes for an entire episode filled with hilarious moments of Leaning on the Fourth Wall, Dramatic Irony, and moments of sincerity that read off as absurd knowing what Star Wars as a franchise is today.
  • In a world without Star Wars and thus Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford is described as a "90's action star", with them agreeing that Air Force One is his most iconic role.

  • Tony wishes that they would make a plush of what they all describe as "Gorilla Bear", which is hilarious considering how merchandized Chewbacca is.
  • As a Hand Wave to explain how they are watching it with the special edition changes, it is explained that, according to what was found in research, this is a 30th anniversary cut that included crude CGI George Lucas made on his home computer. He tried to sell it at conventions, but lack of interest made it unsuccessful.
  • Tony applauds the movie for not sexualizing the Leia character and putting her in a skimpy outfit.
  • Tony off-handedly says that Luke and Leia make a cute couple. No one reacts to this and the conversation immediately moves forward.
  • After everyone gives the film a Disney Plus, Tony describes it as an overlooked gem.

BONUS MINISODE! Star Wars Episode Outtakes

  • Since the previous episode took place in an alternate universe where the first Star Wars movie flopped and George Lucas left the film industry, Tony edited out jokes that were Leaning on the Fourth Wall a little too much. These jokes referenced Indiana Jones, midichlorians, and the Marfalump.
  • Charlie Corpsing when Luke sarcastically says he has no emotional attachment to this obscure old movie and he's free to bash it as much as he wants.

BONUS MINISODE! Agatha Vs. Doggans

    Tony: I know the Hatbox Ghost is a cult favorite, but not that kind of cult!note 
  • They wonder if the fish in Finding Nemo consider the fish in this movie, with their grotesque bulging eyes, negative stereotypes.
  • Linkara sarcastically nitpicks the movie while Viga goes "ding!"
  • They realize why nobody in the town has actually seen a sea monster. Once they are killed and brought to the surface, they turn into human corpses.
  • Tony guesses that Morgan's favorite character was the cat.

  • This exchange:
    Morgan: Can you imagine how crushed the spirit of the comedy writer who wrote this had to be?
    Morgan: Yes, but they usually come pre-crushed in a way that makes them funnier. I know comedians as a species gave up on life a long time ago.
  • "You know how when you're watching bad comedy time seems to both dilate and contract?"
  • "Did Ray Romano have something in his contract where everything he's in just fucking shits on him?"
  • They mock the costumes. One kid looks like an understudy for Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Another looks like "pimp Dick Tracy" ("So just Dick Tracy?"). One girl is called a "vampire flapper."
  • Tony's skepticism that the show used a live studio audience because nobody reacted to an Actor Allusion to High School Musical.
  • Morgan describes the male love interest as Montana Max getting a jump start on being a rapist and an Urkel who makes you feel dirty. Oh, and by the way, he's ten.
  • Miley says "I was afraid I'd get stuck with some jerk."
    Tony: Leave me the fuck out of this.

  • When Kyle says "This is what Walt would've wanted", Zach answers "Well if that's the case, then I'm glad he's dead!"
  • The congratulatory messages from various friends of the show are full of gems. Madeline, for instance, records a message for Tony's future 300th and 400th episodes. The future apparently includes Alice in Wonderland 7: They're All Bugs Now, Kevin Feige being a disembodied Oracular Head with psychic powers, and the "salt wars".
  • Dave reads the IMDB trivia page, complete with bad grammar, lack of punctuation, and misuse of the word "respectively".
    Tony: Maybe it was a mistake to let people write IMDB trivia.
  • Tony during the "What's the Attraction?" segment. "Well, unfortunately, you're all...RIGHT! We're going to kidnap Bob Chapek and hold him ransom until he builds all your shit!"
    Charlie: We are literally blocks away from the Walt Disney Studios.

    Zach: My monocle popped off and my top hat spun into the air. I found it most unorthodox.

    Tony: I feel like that's too easily misinterpreted.
    Dracula: Wee-cock was my college nickname.

    Tony: It's not Cassie (Zach's girlfriend), is it?
  • "I have never longed for the sweet release of commercial breaks before."
  • The fake movie the characters are making is more charming than the actual movie...and ten times better than The Mummy (2017).

  • "I can't hate a movie where a mummy fights off goons with a giant ice cream cone."
  • Zach points out the pointlessness of the plot, which is to get the mummy into his sarcophagus before the magic wears off and he turns to dust. Even if they succeed, he's still dead either way.
    Tony: But if he's in the sarcophagus, you get a sequel! That's how this works!
  • Dracula says the fake vampire accent used in the movie is offensive. In his own fake vampire accent, of course.
  • Zach says he could be elected President purely on a platform of making this movie a crime.
  • Tony gives the movie a "mild" Disney Minus because "I enjoy hearing Zach scream in pain."

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

  • Tony recounts seeing this movie in theaters as a nine year old. They get to all the slapstick violence he's been waiting for...and then the projector breaks down.
  • They, of course, have a lot of fun with Donald Trump's cameo.
    • Tony says that Trump was such a narcissist that he let movies get filmed on his property for almost nothing in exchange for a cameo. However, most of the time, his cameo would get cut out.
    • Not only that, but Trump got ripped off because of his narcissism. Tony points out that film productions can be very damaging to the location and any smart businessman would charge a lot of money for them to film on his property. Trump did it for a cameo.
    • "I can't wait for the scene where the FBI raids Trump Tower for the top secret documents."
    • "He's literally wrong about everything!"note 
    • "Kevin went after the wrong criminals. He should've gone to Florida and set up some traps around Mar-A-Lago."

    Tony: Were they Tyler Durdens of each other?

Davy Crockett and the River Pirates

  • Nick is shocked that what he thought was an iconic Long Runner TV series was actually only three episodes where the hero dies at the end and then had to be brought back due to his popularity. Kit says it's like the Marvel Cinematic Universe if Avengers: Endgame was the third movie.
  • Since the iconic theme song pronounces "bear" as "bar", Tony's uncle mistakenly thought Davy Crockett was killed in a bar when he was only three.
    • No, he killed someone in a bar when he was only three. It was a Maggie Simpson situation.
  • They mock the Ho Yay of the movie. They say George's meeting with one of Fink's men at a bar is flirty. Then they note how George falls from a chandelier into Davy's arms.
  • They discuss the Marvel vs. DC rivalry. DC executives would wonder why Marvel kept outselling them. They thought it was because Marvel had more blues on their covers so Stan Lee would prevent any blue on their covers for three months and still outsell them. Then they thought it was because Marvel had more dialogue on their covers so Lee would ban dialogue on their covers for three months and still outsell them.note 
    Tony: Fuck it, let's just hire James Gunn!
  • Nick's love of Davy's line "Don't go skinning the bear before you shoot him!"

  • They wonder why the Food and Drug Administration, of all agencies, is regulating the shrink ray and conclude that shrunken people must have been legally reclassified as food.
  • This was Anarkee's first exposure to the song "Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts." If you're not familiar with the classic schoolyard song, the lyrics are morbid.
  • Garret remembers being called by girls whose friends had a crush on him.
    Garrett: "Can you make a pet name for a friend who had a crush on you?" No. "But she's having a really bad day." I don't know this person. How did you get this number?
  • Tony's alternate ending for the movie. Instead of unshrinking the parents, the kids put them in a hamster cage and the third act becomes a prison break movie.

Once Upon a Time S1 E12 "Skin Deep"

  • Madeline's speech thirsting for Rumplestiltzkin.
    Madeline: To all my family, friends, loved ones. To all the experiences I've had and will have from now until the cold hand of death comes to collect my soul. To all these and more I say you are all dogshit now. My heart has been taken by a man that I can only describe as if Willem Dafoe played The Greasy Strangler. When I watch my future child exit my womb, as I hold them tight and they smile at me, my only thought will be "They chipped the cup! My fucking god, they chipped the cup." I will now be living in the woods of Griffith Park taking on the position once held by Mountain Lion P-22. I expect my days to be difficult but fruitful. If you see me in the ruins of the old LA zoo, please do not approach me for I have seen a man turn into the rose from Beauty and the Beast and I am no longer responsible for my actions.
  • Since the show is filmed in Canada, they say "Regina" should be pronounced to rhyme like "vagina."
  • Their sheer disbelief at the huge number of Punny Names. The Evil Queen is "Regina". Cinderella is "Ashley". Belle's father is "Moe French". The Magic Mirror is "Sidney Glass".

    Chris: I'm assuming Dumbo is also Tinker Bell and Claude Frollo, right?

  • Madeline says "It's the worst thing I've ever seen but I'm gonna binge the whole show."
  • They realize that all the trans women gave the show Disney Plus. "We sent it out in our mailer last week."

Frankenweenie (1984)

  • A darkly funny example: Gaby says she recently lost her own family dog so this is as if the randomizer is deliberately trying to torture her.
    Tony: This is a spinoff called "Let's Torture Gaby!"
    Dave: I've been here since day one and haven't gotten a spinoff.
    Dave: It's gonna make Gunsmoke look like a BBC series.
  • Despite her love for Tim Burton in high school, Haley says he was always "huffing his own farts."
  • Tony says Tim Burton's work is either really good or "really, REALLY fuckin' bad."
  • Gaby saw Burton's Alice in Wonderland with her mother at midnight for a sixteenth birthday present. She was so disappointed she felt like she should've apologized to her mother.
  • They say Burton's best films have all had "Big" in the title (Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Big Fish, Big Eyes). They imagine him directing The Big Lebowski and groan when Tony mentions Johnny Depp as the Dude.
  • After watching the film, they actually become more sympathetic to the Disney executives who refused to release it. The death of the dog is so traumatizing they wonder if it was too much even for Eisner and Katzenberg.
  • They say Gaby's Michael Eisner impression sounds like John F. Kennedy.
  • Tony's high school biology class never dissected frogs and went straight to fetal pigs. The experience disgusted him so much he gave up red meat for three years.
    Dave: You skipped Kermit and went right to Miss Piggy.
  • "I didn't recognize Daniel Stern because he didn't look homeless enough."
  • Despite the happy dog and the optimistic ending, they imagine the dog happily barking something with the subtitles "We belong dead."

  • Jack sets himself on fire, presumably to protest the war in Ramadan Town.
