Episodes

The Apple Dumpling Gang

August 31, 2021 12:26 - 51 minutes - 39.3 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined once again by Chris Senn, coming live from New York City. (a fact that sounds impressive but really means nothing)  Today we're looking at The Apple Dumpling Gang, the 1975 film that has very little to do with Apple Dumplings or gangs really.  Learn new and interesting facts about The Incredible Hulk 1978 series, and maybe even something about this movie!

Howard The Duck

July 08, 2021 17:07 - 1 hour - 48.4 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined by Nate Elliot to watch Howard The Duck.  That's right, when Disney bought Lucasfilm this became a Disney movie and with all the Marvel stuff happening I thought it'd be fun but oh god this really is awful.  Just the worst movie.  Sorry to ruin the review right here but I can't stress enough how uncomfortable this is.  Kids beware this review is a little more PG than usual.

Flubber

June 20, 2021 14:23 - 58 minutes - 47.2 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined by Stephen Herron to talk all things Flubber!  And by all things we mostly mean the 1997 movie.  Join us for a creepy robot love, bets where you lose either way, and of course Rube Goldberg machines!  What more could you possibly want?!  (Other than a higher paying job, healthcare, personal fulfilment, and more time with family and friends?)

Around The World In 80 Days

June 06, 2021 18:39 - 45 minutes - 36.1 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined by Tim Watt to discuss the 2004 film, Around The World In 80 Days!  Come watch along for this movie that somehow is both a zany family comedy and a kung foo action film.  If you enjoy Tim and my banter we (and a group of others) have a sketch comedy group.  Find us on Instagram @sogoodsogoodcomedy

Oz The Great And Powerful

May 26, 2021 15:29 - 1 hour - 54.7 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined once again by resident Oz expert Jayden McGrael to talk about the 2013 movie, Oz the Great and Powerful.  Come along as we discuss how the Witches of Oz are like the Sith, the difference between black and white and sepia, and how to solve all your problems by making a fake world where they just don't exist anymore.    Also, checkout Jayden's Oz DnD one-shot on the Indigo_Chameleon Twitch channel.

Ewoks

May 04, 2021 17:30 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined by his younger brother, and Star Wars super fan, Zaelin MacCraw to discuss the first two episodes of the Ewoks animated series.  This show came out only a couple years after Return of the Jedi and boy is it... something else.  Come watch along with all your favorite Star Wars elements like invisibility soap, fairies, and lame theme songs.

Bolt

April 22, 2021 01:25 - 41 minutes - 34.5 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined by Joshua Wainwright to watch Bolt.  This 2008 classic has everyone a person can want; dogs, superpowers, and John Travolta.  Also I worked really hard and added like 3 sound effects to this episode and I'm very proud of that so please listen.

Splash

February 25, 2021 18:53 - 37 minutes - 31.2 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined by Billy McCoy to talk about the 1984 movie, Splash.  This film has everything you could ask for: Mermaids, Tom Hanks, really bad CGI to keep it PG.  What more could you ask for?  Nothing.  There is nothing more a person could possibly ask for.

Dumbo (2019)

January 31, 2021 13:01 - 37 minutes - 39.4 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined by Tim Watt and Sam Smith to discuss 2019's Dumbo reimagining.  Will these three stay on track and actually talk about the movie, or will we talk about a Seinfeld Musical and do Watto impressions for some reason? Listen to find out!

Fun and Fancy Free

January 11, 2021 20:51 - 44 minutes - 35.3 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined by Jayden McGrael to watch Fun and Fancy Free.  This peaceful 1947 package film has beautiful animation, fun characters, and ventriloquist puppets?? Oh god why are there ventriloquist puppets? Make it stop, make it stop.  Okay I should be safe I'm closing my eyes... nope I reopened them and the puppets are still there.

The Muppet Christmas Carol

December 25, 2020 20:58 - 53 minutes - 43.2 MB

Merry Christmas everyone!  This week Garrison MacCraw is joined by Joshua Wainwright to talk 1992's The Muppet Christmas Carol.  Come along as we talk about all the important things this movie reminds us of this holiday season: Matthew Morrison's The Grinch Live, Swedish Chef's human hands, Cher, and much much more!

Disney Investor Meeting News Breakdown (Minisode)

December 17, 2020 13:59 - 28 minutes - 25.3 MB

Hello! Your host Garrison MacCraw is doing things a little differently today.  Disney recently dropped like a million new projects they're working on and I feel it is just too much to not dedicate it's own episode to.  So here we go!

The Black Hole

December 08, 2020 14:33 - 47 minutes - 39.1 MB

This week Garrison MacCraw is joined by Trevor Colt to discuss The Black Hole.  Space! The Final Frontier... Well except for the fact that every studio in the 70s wanted to have their movies take place here.  Join us as we talk about amazing characters like cowboy robots, Disco Rasputin, and Ernest Borgnine.  

A Spider-Man/Jessie Crossover For Some Reason... Minisode

November 18, 2020 19:00 - 21 minutes - 17.4 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is on his lonesome, and while he was sitting playing the new Spider-Man: Miles Morales game when he was reminded of the dumbest piece of Spider-Man television of all time...  The Ultimate Spider-Man episode "Halloween Night at the Museum", which crosses over with the Disney Channel sitcom Jessie for no reason.  Anyway... I talk about it. 

Hocus Pocus

October 31, 2020 23:20 - 49 minutes - 52.9 MB

Happy Halloween!  This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined by not 1, not 2, but 3 guests.  Jayden McGrael, Sam Smith, and Tim Watt all arrive for everyone's favorite Disney Halloween movie (maybe because there are only like 5 Disney Halloween movies), Hocus Pocus!  Join us for this 1993 classic as we ask why this kids movie is so obsessed with virgins.  It's the best way to round out your Halloween season.

Frankenweenie

October 24, 2020 11:58 - 49 minutes - 37.4 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined by Jayden McGrael for the 2012 stop-motion weirdness that is Frankenweenie.  Join us as I accidently traumatize Jayden by making her watch a movie about bringing a dog back from the dead... when the dog starts out the movie alive.  (You can see where the issue might be)   And to help with theming this episode of the podcast was filmed in Black and White.

Blackbeard's Ghost

October 10, 2020 13:10 - 1 hour - 52.4 MB

This week Garrison MacCraw is joined by special guest Nate Elliott to discuss the 1968 classic, Blackbeard's Ghost.  Do you yearn for the tales of the golden age of piracy? Swashbuckling heroes and ruthless villains? Well then you've come to the wrong place!  This is pretty much just a movie about a normal track coach being annoyed by a loud drunk man for 2 hours.  I haven't sold you on the movie yet? Well climb aboard and listen to our review!

Happy Haunting - Party at Disneyland! Minisode

September 28, 2020 17:38 - 17 minutes - 15.6 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw is flying solo to start getting us into the Halloween spirit.  We're talking all about the amazing 1998 Disney Sing-Along Songs video, Happy Haunting - Party at Disneyland! Join me as I talk all about the part of a sing along that everyone cares about, the narrative.  If you don't want to spend money on your local poorly done drive through haunted attraction... this is a much cheaper method to start feeling spooky.

Oliver and Company

September 10, 2020 13:10 - 43 minutes - 46.5 MB

This week Garrison MacCraw is joined by Jayden McGrael to review Oliver and Company!  This twist on the tail of Oliver (See what I did there?) features cats and dogs in the place of sad British orphans.  Come and find out where this one places in comparison to Disney's other Charles Dickens adaptations... and by other Charles Dickens adaptations I'm referring to their strangely large number of A Christmas Carol renditions. 

Swiss Family Robinson

August 16, 2020 19:29 - 49 minutes - 54.7 MB

This week your host Garrison MacCraw joined by special guest Nick Brassell to discuss the Swiss Family Robinson.  Join us as we watch a movie that shows how little of a problem being stuck on an island actually is... given that you're naturally born a carpenter/engineer/architect and have all the resources you need just naturally in your area.  This movie also bravely asks the question "How many different types of animals can people ride in one scene?"

Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier

August 01, 2020 20:33 - 49 minutes - 55.5 MB

We are back! This week your host Garrison MacCraw is joined by Joshua Wainwright to talk all about America's favorite frontiersman (probably because he has a better song than Lewis and Clark could ever hope for), Davy Crockett.  Come see this roller coaster of a movie featuring surprising political correctness, unsurprising non-political correctness, and the best man vs gator fight ever put to the silver screen.  

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

June 28, 2020 12:45 - 40 minutes - 33.1 MB

This week Garrison MacCraw is joined by William (Billy) McCoy for the movie nobody thinks about when the words "For Narnia!" are uttered.  Join us as we jump back to a world of centaurs, fauns, witches, and talking animals as they take on their biggest challenge yet, colonialism.  Find out why one baby could lead to the death of an entire culture.  All in this family-fun action adventure!

The Country Bears

April 30, 2020 17:01 - 33 minutes - 36.9 MB

This week Garrison MacCraw is joined by Country Bear Jamboree super-fan Jayden McGrael to review it's movie counterpart, The Country Bears.  Join us as we review and disc- wait a second... Why wouldn't they call the show the Country Bear JamBearee? We know from the show they have no problem with tons of bear puns, how did they miss this super obvious one?  I wonder if it's too late to do anything about it.  I'm personally going to write a letter to, is it Bob Iger now or is it Chapek now?  W...

The Wind in the Willows Minisode

April 21, 2020 19:45 - 15 minutes - 19.4 MB

This week Garrison MacCraw reviews the second half of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.  In this tale that has very little to do with the wind or the willows we deal with grand theft auto, gang wars, addiction, and frame-ups. All in this family adventure full of friendly talking animals!

The Black Cauldron

April 10, 2020 18:25 - 33 minutes - 42 MB

This week host Garrison MacCraw is joined by Jayden McGrael to review the 1985 movie The Black Cauldron.  This adventure contains everything missing in the your favorite high fantasy stories: Magic Swords that do all the work for you, heroes succeeding only by dumb luck, bards who never sing, and so much munchings and crunchings.
