  • Whistling Past the Controversy Through a Modern Lens
    Jan 22 2026

    In this episode, we take a clear-eyed look at Disney’s Song of the South, a film long praised for its music and animation—and criticized for its portrayal of race and history. We summarize the story, explore its historical context, and unpack why it has remained controversial for decades. Balancing nostalgia with accountability, we discuss what works, what doesn’t, and how the film lands when viewed through a modern lens, before closing with our overall rating and final thoughts on its legacy.

  • The New Year Episode 2026
    Jan 2 2026

    Usually they’re busy reviewing songs, scenes, and sidekicks, but for the holidays this Disney-loving duo is pressing pause on movie ratings to look at something a little more real: their New Year’s resolutions. In this special break-from-the-magic episode, the hosts trade animated critiques for personal goals, questionable plans, and plenty of off-topic tangents. It’s quirky, candid, and still full of the same playful energy—just with fewer talking animals and a lot more self-reflection.

  • Planes, Propaganda, and Walt Disney
    Dec 18 2025

    In this episode, we take on one of Disney’s strangest and most serious films, Victory Through Airpower. Made in the middle of World War II, the movie mixes animation, live action, and straight military argument to push a very specific idea about how the war should be fought.

    We break down what the film is trying to say, why Walt Disney chose to make it, and how it was meant to influence public opinion and military thinking. Along the way, we talk about the animation, the tone shift from cartoons to lectures, and how well the message comes across to a modern audience.
