We have arrived at arguably the most famous era of all: The Disney Renaissance. Christian and Scott are looking at two of Disney’s most influential films of the last 30 years: Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.

Joined by new friend of the show Hadley Vogler, we revisit some childhood favorites to talk about the Broadway influence, revitalized princess story, celebrity voice actors and more. This was a fun one!

S1E14 Disney 100 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs + Pinocchio

It’s nostalgia time! In honor of Disney 100 and the release of their new film Wish, Christian and Scott are taking a walk down memory lane and watching some classic Disney films.

We’re starting at the very beginning: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs & Pinocchio!

It’s the fairy tale that started it all, and the morality tale that followed it. Many still consider these among the greatest animated films ever made. Will our hosts agree?

Plus, we talk about two new films we saw at AFI Fest: Bradley Cooper’s Maestro and Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders.

S1E13 Supernatural Horror - Hidden Gems

Before we tap out this month’s cinematic keg, we’ve got some recommendations for all kinds of supernatural horror! Demons, ghosts, haunted houses, killer weather, and the devil himself — we’ve got it all for you on this episode. Christian and Scott take a trip through history, recommending movies from as far back as the 60s and as recently as 2020. We’ve got you covered for some hidden gems, guilty pleasures, and more.

S1E12 Supernatural Horror - The Babadook

Get ready for your next pour from our Supernatural Horror keg as we talk about a recent horror hit: The Babadook. We take a trip to Australia to talk through Jennifer Kent’s feature debut.

Kent pairs scares with a thought-provoking metaphor as a terrifying monster haunts a mother and son. Since its release in 2014, The Babadook has gained a reputation as one of the best horror movies of the 2010s, as well as birthing internet memes and even a wonderfully silly discourse: is the Babadook an LGBT+ icon?

Pour yourself a beer and listen along as Christian and Scott sit down to see if The Babadook deserves its positive reputation.

S1E11 Supernatural Horror - Ringu

Our Supernatural Horror rotation got off to a great start last week, and we’re moving forward in time to look at one of the biggest Japanese horror films of all-time: Ringu. Also known as The Ring, the film boasts a famous premise — anyone who watches a cursed video tape receives a mysterious phone call telling them they have 7 days before they die.

Christian and Scott are ready for another first time watch. Stay tuned to get their thoughts on this 90s classic.

S1E10 Supernatural Horror - The Changeling

Happy Spooky Season, everyone! We’re taking a look at some horror movies this month as we tap a brand new cinematic keg for October: Supernatural horror! We’re starting with a hidden gem from 1980: The Changeling.

Written by William Gray and Diana Maddox, directed by Peter Medak and starring George C. Scott, The Changeling is allegedly based on real events that happened to co-writer Russell Hunter. It made such an impact at the time that Martin Scorsese listed it as one of the 11 scariest movies he had ever seen. But, where do our co-hosts land?
