Disney Odd Pod

She was the Monkey's Uncle yeh yeh...she was the monkey's uncle whoa whoa.  We aren't sure what it is about this peculiar film that has us constantly making references to it. JK we do know...it's the song. The song makes this movie we awknowledge the movie itself is NOT good but the song still slaps this many episodes later. Revisit it with us this week on Most Referenced Monday as we take another listen to The Monkey's Uncle from 1965.

Another one we hope might surprise you. We would 100% give Tron Legacy a second chance.  Especially after later viewing the original Tron. Tron Legacy had it's work cut out to make sense of this world and to make it appealing for a modern audience. They definitely succeeded. This is one we think we may need to watch again. Looking back the music is iconic, the costuming and set pieces are out of this world and its just a COOL movie.

There are so many things that are completely nuts about this film that we really could have put it on WTF Wednesdays but we opt'd for Surprise Saturday for Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken because D was truly surprised he LIKED this movie and Kat was surprised that it holds up after all this time.  If you were a female born between 1975 and 1995 we guarantee this movie played some kind of formative role in your youth.  Whether it be fantasizing about jumping horses off of tall towers or about the male leads eyebrows....this lived rent free in your head and still does.

It's normal to expect weird shit out of Nicholas Cage but this Friday Failure is beyond weird. The Sorcerer's Apprentice from 2010 is by far one of the worst movies we have ever watched.  Has anyone actually seen this? Were you able to sit through the horrific acting that is Jay Baruchel (sorry Jay but you are REALLY bad).  We dare you to revisit it with us this week.

We really could have re-released this under a Top Chart Tuesday but we opt'd for Throwback Thursday because this was still a fairly early episode for us, originally released June 23, 2020 and within our first 30 episodes. We look back on Beauty and the Beast with such joy and still will never forgive Disney with the absolute butchery they took to it to produce the 2017 live action remake no one wanted. Thus we look back on this with fondness. Come back to the castle with us and revisit Beauty and the Beast once again from 1991.

Go Gadget Go! What even is this movie???!!!! While this concept worked beautifully for an animated cartoon we just aren't sure for Disney live action. From the bizarre sexual inuendos to fake gadget's teeth and really...this is not Matthew Brodericks best....just WTF Disney? And somehow there is a sequal living in the universe with French Stewart in the lead role? What is this???? Can you help us find out as we re-visit Inspector Gadget from 1999?

While there is some disagreement between us about which version of the Parent Trap is superior Kat has agreed to tip her hat to the original for March Madness and reluctantly admit that the original Parent Trap from 1961 is the superior film.  Yes, reluctantly we must admit...as charming as Lindsay Lohan is and as perfect as Dennis Quaid's smile is....Hayley Mills and Brian Keith just bring something magical to the screen.  In terms of older "live action" disney flicks this one is probably one of the better known ones in the bunch.  

We had so much to go over in this film and we hope you enjoy revisiting it with us for this weeks March Madness Top Chart Tuesday.

The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin from 1967 is something we reference to one another at least 3x a week.  It is so iconic in the history of our podcast not only was it our 2nd episode (be kind on re-listen) but we have a GIANT full size orignal movie poster in our podcast studio. It's THAT important to us.  This movie is WEIRD, ODD, FUNNY, OBSCURE. It is everything that we didn't expect when we started this project and the kind of film that keeps us going. How many more of these hidden gems are living in the Disney umbrella? We look forward to finding out. Visit this wacky western comedy with us once again.

With hindsight on our side we will admit over and over again that we were probably too harsh on this animated gem.  Oliver & Company is pretty dark on the spectrum of Disney animated feature films but we kind of like that. It's on theme for 1980s NYC.  There is so much to love about this movie we are kind of embarrased we were so harsh on it initially. We're sorry Oliver. Here's another shot just for you. Here's your second chance Sunday.

Here's one that migrated straight out of left field and still has us mouths agape! Those Calloways from 1965 is one of those films we really were not expecting to like having no idea what it was and never hearing of it before doing this podcast.  For March Madness we think it's important to bring it to the forefront once again to try and get a few more people to watch it. It's THAT GOOD. We stan this film from the very opening scene we were hooked. The acting is unparalleled and the story is just different. Give it a shot with  us again! Those Calloways from 1965.
