June 03, 2019 Cars/Bolt: Lightning McBolt Across America
KACHOW is the sound of our superbark in this musing on egos, America, Scientology, PTSD, Randy Newman, and the myriad definitions of the word “bolt”. Also you’re going to want to Google “industry musicals” before you start listening.

May 20, 2019 The Princess and the Frog and the Pocohantas
How high can the box office projections grow? If you release to tepid audiences, then you’ll never know… We talk two Disney features whose financial performances fell short of their creators’ lofty ambitions but still hold a special place in the hearts of their most ardent fans. And we talk a lot about Jim Cummings. As usual.

We talk poorly made and shockingly much more poorly made aquatic animated features as we discuss Shark Tale and The Reef (sometimes “Shark Bait”) with guest, friend of the podcast, and foremost Will Smith scholar Serena Robinett.

After the episode, head to https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/againstmywill to listen to Serena’s former podcast on the wondrous world of Will Smith movies!

April 15, 2019 Bambi / Winnie the Pooh - Fun Forest Fun
We dive into two films with completely different tones, but a strong similarity in narrative structure. We talk about our March Madness bracket results. And we try and figure out why basically every cartoon owl is the same, and which one came first. Enjoy! <3

Dick and Kate discuss the kind of March Madness that they actually know things about! We've created a bracket of 64 Disney and Pixar movies to rank, and we're discussing our personal Sweet 16s. Then we go on to try and make a definitive bracket for the show and it goes more smoothly than expected!
