WWTD 100 - Beauty and the Beast: Covered in Birds
April 13, 2017 13:22 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBWelcome, D Lovers, to the extra special, extra beefy 100th episode of We Want The D! It's definitely cause for celebration, but we're not here to celebrate ourselves (well, maybe a little); we're using this excuse to celebrate what many consider to be the pinnacle of Disney animated film-making - BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. A beloved classic for many, including Vicky, Nolan and Jill, our hosts have nothing but love for the brilliant songs, top-tier voice acting, and wet, loose hair that all featur...
WWTD 099 - Man of the House: Cleveland
April 06, 2017 12:46 - 1 hour - 34.1 MBAfter watching 100+ Disney movies over the past two and some odd years, you'd think that Vicky, Nolan and Jill would be less surprised at the sheer audacity and ridiculousness of some of these movies. But it seems that the House of Mouse always finds some way to raise the bar. Take MAN OF THE HOUSE, for example. In theory, it makes sense to pair up comedy legend Chevy Chase, 90s child star extraordinaire Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and television icon Farrah Fawcett for a comedy about a blended ...
WWTD 098 - The Moon-Spinners: My Huckleberry Friend
March 30, 2017 12:45 - 1 hour - 34 MBVicky, Nolan and Jill have watched a fair share of head-scratchers in their journey through the Disney canon. It's gotten to the point where, when watching a film from a certain era, our hosts of come to expect a few things. So when we popped on THE MOON-SPINNERS from 1964, there were certain expectations in place. There'd probably be some supernatural element, an extended gambling sequence, some slapstick hijinks, maybe some animal cruelty. What we got was a dark mystery that, at times, fel...
WWTD 097 - The Rookie: Resting Pitch Face
March 23, 2017 12:25 - 58 minutes - 30.3 MBWe'll be honest, D-Lovers. Things get a little sidetracked during this week's episode. There's tangents and off-topic chatter abound. But you can't really blame our hosts, because at the end of the day how much is there to say about a movie, based on a true story, about a man who dreams of pitching in the major leagues if only he wasn't past his prime...only to discover that he's not at all and is in fact able to consistently throw very fast pitches so he ends up pitching in the major league...
WWTD 096 - Old Yeller: Sucking Eggs
March 16, 2017 12:21 - 1 hour - 30.4 MBOne of the more bizarre things Disney is beloved for is making people really really upset. People fondly remember the childhood trauma they suffered when Bambi's mother is shot, the fear the felt when the Evil Queen transformed into the Old Hag, and the sorrow when Mufasa is trampled by wildebeests. This week on We Want The D; Vicky, Nolan and Jill are talking about OLD YELLER, a movie that has been traumatizing its audiences for years, and not just because the movie ends with a beloved, loy...
WWTD 095 - The Great Mouse Detective: Animated Rodent Movies
March 09, 2017 14:00 - 55 minutes - 24.5 MBDisney's The Great Mouse Detective is something of an anomaly in the scope of movies we typically watch on We Want The D. On the one hand, it's made up almost entirely of conventional tropes - either from the animated Disney canon, the tales of Sherlock Holmes, or from the vast catalog of animated films about mice and other rodents. On the other hand, considering it came out in the 1980s, its also a breath of fresh air when compared to its other contemporaries from the House of Mouse. The an...
WWTD 094 - The Sorcerer's Apprentice: At the Hundredth Merlinian
March 02, 2017 13:17 - 1 hour - 28.4 MBThis week on We Want The D, our hosts make sure to follow their ABCs - Alway's Be Caging. Because you never know what you're going to get when you watch Nicholas Cage in a movie. Case and point: Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Very (very) loosely based on the Fantasia segment, proposed and championed by Cage himself, you'd think the result would be an intense Nicholas Cage running around in some outrageous costume, screaming spells in people's faces and giving one of his classic over-the...
WWTD 093 - Candleshoe: Not The Klumps
February 23, 2017 13:39 - 54 minutes - 22.9 MBTwo years into our adventure into the Disney catalog, your hosts have come to expect certain things from films from certain eras. The 60s and 70s are typically filled with animals with weird abilities, straight-laced middle-aged men finding love, and often involve some sort of extended gambling sequence. Every so often, however, we get a movie about a plucky young heroine who just needs to be loved by a family unit. Much to our relief (or in Vicky's case, shrugging acceptance), CANDLESHOE fa...
WWTD Minnie Mouse-isode 009 - The Ballad of Mikey E. and Lil' Jeffy Katz
February 16, 2017 13:32 - 45 minutes - 18.9 MBJoin us for another mini episode of We Want The D, where our hosts peel back the layers of one of the most dramatic stories in Disney history. This is the story of a iconic company being pulled from the brink of disaster, a story of friendship (or at least partnership) and betrayal, a story of broken promises and crashed helicopters...and yeah it's a story centering around four rich white dudes, but it's still really interesting! Get ready for a wild ride that Mr. Toad could only dream of as...
WWTD 092 - Descendants: Lake Horny
February 09, 2017 14:13 - 1 hour - 24.2 MBThis is it, D Lovers, the moment you've all been waiting for. Vicky, Nolan and Jill are diving into the strange, twisted world of Disney Channel Original Movies. The tastes our hosts have had of this area of the Disney catalog in the past did nothing to prepare them for the large-scale insanity of the Disney Channel's latest smash, DESCENDANTS. Focusing on the offspring of the Disney's canons most beloved characters, this made-for-tv movie isn't so much a celebration of some of the best and ...
WWTD 091 - John Carter: Beautiful Wedding Bikini
February 02, 2017 13:52 - 1 hour - 53.4 MBDid you know that the largest mountain in our solar system is called Olympus Mons, is three times the height of Mount Everest, and is located on Mars? Did you know that Mars is the second smallest planet in our solar system, and a year is 687 days but a day is only 40 minutes longer than one on Earth? These are all facts about the fourth planet from the sun that don't really have anything to do with this week's movie, but are definitely 100% more interesting than anything that happens during...
WWTD 090 - Enchanted: Full Menken Style
January 26, 2017 13:49 - 1 hour - 52.8 MBIt's time once again for our hosts to pay tribute at the Altar of Menken, First of His Name, Composer of the Jams and the Ballads, Masterful Creator of the Timeless Classics. This time, we're praising His Works in the Disney mixed live action and animation film ENCHANTED, for when you want to goof on your own successful stable of Princess characters and stories, who better to sign up than the man responsible for the music of so many movies that feature them? Menken aside, Enchanted did entic...
WWTD 089 - First Kid: Snake Chat
January 19, 2017 13:33 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBAs we reach the end of this bizarre-o political spiral culminating in the inauguration of an orange Russian sock-puppet as President of the United States; Vicky, Nolan and Jill thought they would take a more light-hearted look at life in the White House by watching Disney's FIRST KID. YUGE MISTAKE. Not only was watching this 90s Sinbad vehicle akin to some type of torture for two your hosts, one of them actually LIKED this...this inexplicable non-movie about nothing. It's another contentious...
WWTD 088 - Blackbeard's Ghost: Spell Pamphlet
January 12, 2017 14:06 - 1 hour - 56.2 MBAhoy mateys and welcome to another chapter o' We Want The D. Gather ye 'round as we spin the yarn o' Disney's BLACKBEARD'S GHOST, a tale fraught with adventure and villainy. Tis a story of a milksop of a man taken under the wing o' the mightiest pirate, who's savagery is only matched by his affection for rum. Be amazed as the fearsome Blackbeard does all manner o' pirate activity, like placing bets and sabotaging gambling implements! Or using his mighty ghost strength to toss young crew memb...
WWTD 087 - The Mighty Ducks: Your Hockey Love is Too Much
January 05, 2017 13:39 - 1 hour - 48.9 MBIt's a new year and you know what that means, D Lovers. That's right, it's the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, which happens every year around this time - a fact that certainly did not require a trip to Wikipedia to confirm while writing this episode description, no sir. And it certainly wasn't prompted by any sort of need to justify our choice to tackle one of the great (in memory if not reality) Disney sports movies - THE MIGHTY DUCKS. As Canadian a movie can possibly be while still...
WWTD 086 - One Magic Christmas: The Saddest Soul Who Ever Lived
December 22, 2016 13:44 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBAs the song goes, Christmas is "the most wonderful time of the year." In spite of the cold, the slush and the sun setting around mid-afternoon the days still feel warm and bright - at least for those who have Christmas spirit. And those who don't...woe betide you; as Mary Steenburgen learns in a movie that proves once again Disney had no idea what the hell they were doing in the 1980s. Because in One Magic Christmas, the way to get a woman struggling to keep herself and her family afloat in ...
WWTD Minnie Mouse-isode 008 - 2016: A Year in Review
December 15, 2016 13:46 - 31 minutes - 25.5 MBWith only a few weeks left in this godforsaken year, Vicky, Nolan and Jill take a look back at all that Disney had to offer in 2016. On top of Scrooge McDuck levels of money earned at the box office, our favourite film company had a good year with a healthy mix of originals, re-imaginings, and third party movies - and only a few flops! They also had television shows end, start, and chug along into triple digits episodes numbers. Join We Want The D for a special look back at the year that was...
We Want The D's Happy Birthday/Deathday Walt Disney Celebration Spectacular
December 08, 2016 12:45 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBOn this week's very special episode of We Want The D, Vicky, Nolan and Jill are taking a deep dive into the man without whom this podcast wouldn't be possible - Walter Elias Disney; better known his friends (and enemies and underpaid workers) as 'Walt.' If we learned anything from our discussion, it's that Walt was a complicated figure. Sure, he may have creating Mickey Mouse (kinda), but he also thought Song of the South was a good idea. He may have changed the world of film and animation, ...
WWTD 085 - Moana: Mustard & Lemons
December 01, 2016 13:52 - 1 hour - 51.2 MBVicky, Nolan and Jill emerged from their podcast cave this week to watch the latest Disney offering in theatres. With the generally steadfast team of Musker and Clements (Treasure Planet aside) handling directing and current musical darling Lin-Manuel Miranda making his Disney debut as a composer, the hype was high for Disney's return to an animated South Pacific among our hosts. Listen to our spoiler-free first half of the episode to hear our thoughts, and keep listening for a more spoiler-...
WWTD 084 - A Goofy Movie: Classic Towel Comedy
November 24, 2016 13:56 - 59 minutes - 47.3 MBWalt Disney created a wonderful world of animated creations early on in the company's history, and none more beloved than the classic trio of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy...Goof? The trio don't feature heavily in Disney's theatrical canon, but in 1995 the success of the Goof Troop television show led to A GOOFY MOVIE; a kind of musical kind of about a father-son relationship that is kind of based on the characters of that show. Goofy is still Goofy, his son Max still raises difficult ...
WWTD 083 - High School Musical 3: Senior Year: 'Giney Feelings
November 17, 2016 14:01 - 1 hour - 73.2 MBVicky, Nolan and Jill can all remember when High School Musical was the huge Disney Channel phenomenon of the mid-to-late 2000s. In fact at least one of them may have been an active participant (guess which!). The franchise got so big, in fact, that the elevated budget of the third and final installment meant it had to be released in theatres...so here we are. This week on We Want The D, our hosts try to parse the third installment in a trilogy with (in at least two out of three cases) no co...
WWTD 082 - Now You See Him, Now You Don't: We're Gonna Get Wet!
November 10, 2016 15:03 - 1 hour - 53 MBWe recorded this week's episode of We Want The D just a few days ago, early in the evening on election night. Like most people, Vicky, Nolan and Jill had no idea what a rollercoaster ride that night would end up being, so this podcast represents an interesting snapshot in time - one where optimism and bright possibilities were still alive and well. We hope that this episode will take you back to simpler, less troubled times as our hosts are able to laugh and make light of yet another Kurt Ru...
WWTD 081 - The Jungle Book (2016): Giant Monkey Pants
November 03, 2016 13:46 - 1 hour - 63.5 MBDisney's 2016 adaptation of their own beloved classic THE JUNGLE BOOK currently holds a robust 95% critic rating on RottenTomatoes. It's host score on We Want The D is...somewhat less than that. Opinions are divided on multiple fronts; is this an achievement in animation or a movie that only looks good on the big screen? Is there an interesting blend of story from the original Rudyard Kipling books and the 1967 animated classic, or is it more awkwardly paced with large chunks that serve no p...
WWTD 080 - The Sword in the Stone: Dark Age Trash
October 27, 2016 14:04 - 1 hour - 54.7 MBIt's been awhile since we've talked about a legitimate classic in the Disney animated canon, and Vicky, Nolan and Jill could think of no better installment to explore than a personal favourite for all of our hosts - The Sword in the Stone. It's got all the hallmarks of classic Disney - great animation, songs by the Shermans and memorable characters like Merlin, Mad Madame Mim and the new We Want The D mascot, Archimedes. It's also got a lot for our hosts to really dig into, like the possible...
WWTD 079 - The Lone Ranger: Train Action
October 13, 2016 13:48 - 1 hour - 47.7 MBWe're no strangers to controversy here at We Want The D. We've watched Peter Pan, Dumbo, The Sign of Zorro and many other Disney movies that have had less-than-ideal depictions of diverse peoples. But we've always managed to find solace in the fact that those movies are from another time, when attitudes and perceptions were more ignorant and less developed. So when it comes to 2013's THE LONE RANGER, we are at a bit of a loss in how anyone involved thought this movie was a-ok in its depictio...
WWTD 078 - Blank Check: How to Save Your Cat
October 06, 2016 12:55 - 1 hour - 63 MBWhat would you do with a million dollars? Wait, let's be more specific: what would you do if you were a young boy with a million dollars in 1994? Your imagination may be running wild; but when Disney attempted to answer this simple question with BLANK CHECK, things somehow went horribly wrong. This week on We Want The D, Vicky, Nolan and Jill are providing a little education to go along with our regular goofs and gaffes, as we pick apart this movie the way it truly deserves - by seeing if i...
WWTD 077 - Make Mine Music: Whore Bonnet
September 22, 2016 12:53 - 1 hour - 52 MBIt's been awhile since we visited the first decade of Disney's theatrical films, and our return to that early era of Disney is a somewhat rocky one. Maybe not as rocky as the circumstances under which many of those films were made - what with all the World War Two and propaganda demands going on at the time. But when you cobble together an anthology movie based on some pseudo-thought-out ideas all centered generally around the concept of music, you're gonna end up with mixed results. Enter M...
WWTD 076 - Sky High: Thick Neck
September 15, 2016 12:55 - 1 hour - 51.1 MBThis week on We Want The D, Vicky Nolan and Jill are looking at a movie all about adolescents with special abilities going off to school, where they are sorted into different categories immediately upon arrival, and having them struggle with navigating the social awkwardness of high school coupled with the return of a villain long-thought defeated. That's right, we're going all way to Hogwarts for this special episo- wait, what's that? This isn't a movie about wizard school? Oh, right, it's ...
WWTD 075 - Honey, I Blew Up the Kid: Take Me to the Glitter Gulch
September 08, 2016 13:24 - 57 minutes - 46.1 MBWelcome back to Bob's Lake, D Lovers! Vicky, Nolan and Jill could think of no better way to celebrate the sequel to our kinda-sorta live show than doing our very first Disney sequel; so let's give a warm welcome back to the Szalinski family (except for Amy who vanishes about five minutes into the movie) with Honey, I Blew Up the Kid! You may wonder what inspired a sequel that basically just does the inverse story of the original, but if you thought it was because someone thought of the idea ...
WWTD 074 - The Cat from Outer Space: Climb Olympus
September 01, 2016 13:28 - 57 minutes - 45.9 MBWe Want The D is back after a short hiatus, and what better way to reward our beloved listeners' patience than with another classic Disney film from that odd 60s/70s era of weird animal movies. The Cat from Outer Space has the distinction of not only being one of the most out-there Disney movies we've watched so far conceptually, but also the most boring realization of it's off-the-wall concept. The only thing amazing about this movie is how straight everyone plays the fact that this movie i...
WWTD 073 - Meet the Robinsons: Motherly Figure
August 18, 2016 12:57 - 54 minutes - 44 MBFor all the inexplicable strange movies we've watched on We Want The D, and all the ones yet to come, it's hard to imagine that any of them will match the off-the-wall absurdity of this week's Disney film. There's a zany energy to this movie that doesn't compare to anything else the House of Mouse has produced, but that doesn't mean that it's missing the core or heart of what makes a great Disney movie. Which is what made watching MEET THE ROBINSONS such a delight for Vicky, Nolan and Jill. ...
WWTD Minnie Mouse-isode 007 - Destino
August 12, 2016 13:50 - 30 minutes - 24.4 MBWe're about to get as cultured as hell on this week's mini episode of We Want The D. Join Nolan, Jill and special guest/resident art expert Cat for a look at the surreal Walt Disney/Salvador Dali collaboration that took over half a century to bring to life: Destino.
WWTD 072 - Cool Runnings: No Irie
August 04, 2016 13:26 - 58 minutes - 47 MBWe Want The D has Olympic fever! (Not to be confused with the fever many of the athletes will come down with at the Rio Games.) To celebrate this historic athletic competition that supports good sportsmanship and fosters international relations, Vicky, Nolan and Jill are taking a look at Disney's COOL RUNNINGS. For some, a cult classic; for others, a problematic film that makes jokes out of serious competitors. Our hosts will have to reconcile their fond memories of this movie with the knowl...
WWTD Mini Mouse-isode 006 - Scariest Moments
July 28, 2016 12:06 - 22 minutes - 18 MBAs much as Disney movies may have delighted and entertained us throughout our lives, what makes these movies so special is their ability to scare the pants off us. In this mini-episode of We Want The D Vicky, Nolan and Jill are reopening old wounds and facing old fears as we recount the scariest moments from some of our most beloved or not-so-beloved Disney films from our childhood.
WWTD 071 - Around the World in 80 Days: Cameo Smorgasbord
July 20, 2016 20:10 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBIt's easy to imagine a reality where Disney's Around the World in 80 Days went down in history as a classic. After all, it stars noted and beloved martial artist and actor Jackie Chan, the versatile British comedian and performer Steve Coogan, and features enough cameos in the second half that it almost made our hosts' heads spin. But, alas, that is not the reality, as this live action cartoon ended up bombing hard at the box office, despite all it had going for it. Where did it all go wrong...
WWTD Minnie Mouse-isode 005 - Fan Fiction
July 14, 2016 12:34 - 44 minutes - 35.5 MBEXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING. We Want The D is always marked explicit everywhere you listen, but this (not so) mini episode deserves a second warning. Probably a third and fourth, too. Because Vicky, Nolan and Jill are fulfilling the request of multiple listeners to explore the world of Disney Fan Fiction, and boy howdy if it isn't every bit as crass, hyper-sexualized and downright disturbing as we hoped and feared. Needless to say, this is a non-family friendly episode of a podcast that not ver...
WWTD 070 - The Sign of Zorro: Boy Movie
July 07, 2016 12:13 - 51 minutes - 40.9 MBThis week on We Want The D, Vicky, Nolan and Jill face a brand new challenge - how do you talk about a movie that is actually just several episodes of a television show from the late 1950s edited together for a theatrical release? To our hosts' dismay, the answer is "with difficulty." The series the movie is cut from, Disney's very popular 'Zorro,' came out long before the golden age of television, so the resulting film is a bit lacking when it comes to impressive set pieces, non-expository ...
WWTD Minnie Mouse-isode 004 - Best Couple
June 30, 2016 12:42 - 32 minutes - 26.2 MBWelcome to another debate-filled mini episode of We Want The D. Things only get a little heated this week as Vicky, Nolan and Jill put forth their picks for the best Disney Princess pairing. There's a lot to consider when trying to figure out which relationship is the most stable and has the best chance of not ending in divorce or otherwise acrimoniously, but you can rely on your diligent hosts to look at every angle and discuss our opinions without resorting to too much speculation on what ...
WWTD 069 - Heavy Weights: Skinny Wiener
June 23, 2016 12:46 - 1 hour - 49.5 MBIt's officially summer, which means parents all over the world are spending thousands of dollars to ship their kids off into the woods just to get a few weeks of peace and quiet. Vicky, Nolan and Jill all have their own fond (or not-so-fond) memories of summer camp, but none can compare with the experience the cast of overweight characters have is Disney's HEAVY WEIGHTS. From the mind of a young comedy writer named Judd Apatow, this movie has everything you could want in a summer adventure: ...
WWTD 068 - The Shaggy Dog: Doggy-style
June 16, 2016 12:41 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBIt's another head-to-head episode of We Want The D as 1959's The Shaggy Dog faces off against 2006's The Shaggy Dog. Unfortunately for Vicky, Nolan and Jill these two movies actually have very little in common aside from the basic premise of "one character turns into a dog at random intervals for seemingly no reason." So rather than just give you an hour of comparing the shagginess of the respective dogs, your hosts instead spend the time trying to figure out which of these two barely cohere...
WWTD Minnie Mouse-isode 003 - Fan Theories
June 09, 2016 12:42 - 33 minutes - 27.1 MBWe Want The D is back with another mini-episode this week, and this time we're talking about some of the most popular (and in some cases most nonsensical) fan theories about beloved Disney movies old and new. Not only that, but as a special treat Vicky, Nolan and Jill also dive into the world of Pixar movies for the first (and probably last) time. Are separate characters from different movies actually related? Do all of Pixar's movies take place on the same timeline? Is a family film really ...
WWTD 067 - DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp: Duck Master Race
June 02, 2016 12:43 - 51 minutes - 41.4 MBWe here at We Want The D can't sit around and pretend that this podcast isn't built on a firm foundation of nostalgia and rose-coloured glasses. Vicky, Nolan and Jill are more than happy to revisit old favourites in the Disney canon only to find they don't quite measure up. But that means its very exciting when these movies hold up, as is the case with DuckTales, the animated series that but Disney on the television map and spawned several spin-offs and one theatrical film about genies and l...
WWTD 066 - National Treasure: Desecration for Treasure Nation
May 26, 2016 12:43 - 58 minutes - 47.1 MBLike Shere Khan stalking a man-cub, it feels like this week's movie has been stalking Vicky, Nolan and Jill from the shadows from some time now. It's as if we could sense the radical hairline of Nick Cage lurking around the corner, drawing ever closer until we could resist no longer and watched Disney's NATIONAL TREASURE. As one might expect from a Nick Cage blockbuster during the golden years of his career, there's a lot to unpack and discuss. Too bad our hosts would much rather get bogged ...
WWTD 065 - Condorman: Getting On With Woody
May 19, 2016 11:55 - 59 minutes - 47.6 MBSuperhero fatigue is real, D Lovers. Comic book movies have reach peak saturation in recent years, so you can't throw a rock without hitting a poster for a masked and/or caped crusader's latest adventure. Vicky, Nolan and Jill can tell you one thing, though - we'd probably take 1,000 more modern superhero movies if it means never have to watch Disney's CONDORMAN ever again. Is it a spoof? Is it a comedy? Who cares, it's awful. The special effects are abysmal, even for the early 1980s, with w...
WWTD 064 - Swiss Family Robinson: Eaten to Death
May 12, 2016 12:38 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBAs summer approaches for the We Want The D team, our thoughts turn to escaping our run-of-the-mill, everyday lives and forging a new path - perhaps stumbling upon a tropical paradise. A place where no one can tell us what to do, where Napoleon won't come bursting down our door at a moment's notice. A place where we could build a state-of-the-art treehouse with only the barest of tools and materials. A place where the predators are easily trapped and the other wildlife is easily tamed. A plac...
WWTD 063 - Oz the Great and Powerful: Traveling Homewrecker
May 05, 2016 12:36 - 1 hour - 50.8 MB'Great' and 'powerful' are not the word we here at We Want The D would use to describe the titular character in this week's movie. 'Swindler' and 'liar,' maybe. 'Selfish,' and 'jerk,' more likely. 'James' and 'Franco,' absolutely. It's very frustrating when dealing with a movie that stars a character so irredeemably awful, a guy who we would say is a magician's outfit shy of being one of those weird pick-up artists; except that he actually is a magician. It's especially grating when the pote...
WWTD 062 - The Three Musketeers: Mild Sensuality
April 28, 2016 12:50 - 1 hour - 56 MBLoyal D Lovers know that sometimes things can get a little risqué here on We Want The D. This week, we swear it isn't our fault. Because you can Disney-fy Alexandre Dumas' swashbuckling story of intrigue, romance, and betrayal all you want, there'll still be way more sexy than your typical Disney movie. But boy did they ever try to sap as much of it out as they could. Why else would they cast Oliver Platt as one of the musketeers, even at his most svelt? Why else pair Rebecca De Mornay is th...
WWTD 061 - The Apple Dumpling Gang: Donovan's Red Drapes
April 21, 2016 12:24 - 1 hour - 52.1 MBWelcome once again, D Lovers, to the wild and untamed frontier of 1960s and 1970s Disney Live Action film making. You may recognize the bizarre aimlessness of the stories Disney told in this era from past episodes, but none that featured a cast quite as stacked as this one. We've got Dr. Bruce Banner before Disney bought Marvel. We've got MASH's Harry Morgan, noted character actor Slim Pickens, and Sarnia's own Susan Clark. Most of all, THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG features the first appearance o...
WWTD 060 - Bambi: Super Ghost Dad
April 14, 2016 16:00 - 54 minutes - 43.8 MBDespite being a relatively young form of art and entertainment, movies still have changed quite a bit over the years, and Disney films are no exception. The classics of yesterday may have a little struggle standing up on their spindly little deer legs in comparison to more modern efforts. This week on We Want The D, we're looking at a perfect example of this with BAMBI. It may share some common story traits with another, more recent, Disney classic about a young animal prince who learns hars...
WWTD 059 - The Lizzie McGuire Movie: Just Like Birdman!
April 07, 2016 16:00 - 1 hour - 54.8 MBWe're diving back into the wonderful world movies based on Disney Channel original series on We Want The D this week, and Vicky, Nolan and Jill couldn't be more excited. While none of us may have been big Duff-fiends in the height of her Disney career, the Lizzie McGuire star was certainly pervasive enough that we had an idea of what we were in store for, and THE LIZZIE McGUIRE MOVIE did not disappoint. Beautiful girl supposedly a social outcast because she is clumsy? Check. Eighteen year ol...
