Sadly, the Disney bubble isn't as real as it often feels. We guests and our beloved Cast Members are humans, and as such are subject to the stresses and struggles of this big bad world. Part one features the murder of a Disney monorail technician, and the criminal circumstances behind one of the numerous suicides from Anaheim's Mickey and Friends Parking Structure.

In honor of Sarah's birthday we're going on a deep dive into the making of one of her (and James') favorite movies: THE BREAKFAST CLUB. This episode is chock full of stories and factoids about this iconic 80's John Hughes film.

Episode 150 y'all! And in celebration of James' 40th birthday we're taking a good hard look at the cast of one of his favorite movies of all time: FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF. Turns out the cast has committed kind of a lot of crimes! Let's dig in...

Y'all, we did it. I hope you're happy.

This week the gang covers the life story of Walt's big brother, Roy. Walt may have been the visionary, but without his brother's help we'd never even know the name "Disney".

The valiant return of Messed-Up Fairy Tales brings three deliciously insane and confusing yarns from the Brothers Grimm: a walking, talking sausage that cooks food by using its own juices, a girl that wears catskin in order to avoid marrying her father (for a while), and three masochistic idiots that like to play God with their own bodies. Enjoy!

JSBNP is back by special request from mother-to-the-pod Sue! Come learn about the disgusting and extravagant Playboy Mansion with us, we promise it will be upsetting.

Last week's episode covered the never-built Mineral King Ski Resort, one of Walt's last big dreams before he passed. This week, we cover the lasting tribute to the ski-resort-that-could-have-been: The Country Bear Jamboree.

Most hardcore Disney fans know that Walt doggedly pursued creating a Disney ski resort in the years before he passed away. But there's so much more to know! The dream he had, the history of the site, and the fight with environmental groups and public works that ultimately killed the project.

The Disney Dependent crew is all back together in the podcast studio after a month of California adventures! Please enjoy this low-effort episode about people getting embarrassed in the parks, plus more than the usual amount of off-topic nonsense you've come to know and love.
