Disney Plus Reviews

It's your unofficial Disney+ podcast, reviewing the most popular stuff on Disney+!

Today on the show, we’re reviewing Glory Road, the 2006 film about Don Haskins and how he took his small Texas university basketball team's first-ever all African-American lineup to an epic showdown with #1 ranked Kentucky.

Spoilers abound so make sure you've seen the movie (or just don't care about the movie being spoiled). We get into it all - Haskins, Rupp, Bobby Joe Hill, games against Iowa and Kentucky, the racist scenes and graphic language in the movie, what it was like in El Paso (and the nation) back in the 1960s and more.

We cover how true (or not) the movie is to the actual events in history and also work in some conversation about what it's like to watch this movie in 2020 with the state of our country being what it is right now.

Today on the show, we’re reviewing Free Solo, the 2018 documentary film that profiles rock climber Alex Honnold on his quest to perform a free solo climb of Yosemite’s El Capitan mountain in June 2017.

Okay, so it's a documentary ... and you probably can guess what the ending is since it's a film that made it to theaters... but just so you know, we do cover all the "spoilers" in this movie (if there is such a thing in documentaries). We cover this crazy guy Alex, his girlfriend Sanni, Tommy Caldwell, what it's like to literally live in a van, the insane rock climbing moves this guy had to perform (like the "karate kick"), and the internal struggle of the camera crew that don't want to end up killing this fool.

Today on the show, we’re reviewing Black Panther. For some stupid reasons, Phil is just now getting around to watching this superb Marvel movie and it's a top-5-Marvel film for him now. Jack has seen it before but is loving a re-watch on Disney+.

Spoilers abound so make sure you've seen the movie (or just don't care about the movie being spoiled). We get into it all - Ulysses Klaue, Killmonger, Okoye, Wakanda, Korea, vibranium, that Panther suit, killer rhinos, those incredible combat scenes, all the African culture, our favorite lines and moments and how just generally revolutionary this movie is for the MCU.

Today on the show, we’re discussing Heavyweights, the 1995 comedy starring a very young Ben Stiller. It's Still at his best, to be honest, and we're glowing about this movie (that got a 29% on Rotten Tomatoes - what do they know?). It's got some seriously funny lines and we run through the best ones while talking about our favorite scenes from the movie.

Spoilers abound so make sure you've seen the movie (or just don't care about the movie being spoiled). We get into it all - the Camp Hope "fat camp", Tony Perkis, "never let anyone sign your checks!", a 20-mile hike, Seymour Butts, Lars' amazing accent, incredible go-kart driving and more. Also, can this movie be remade today? We don't think so.

We miss you already, Jerry Stiller.

Today on the show, we’re talking about Newsies, the 1992 Disney live-action musical. It's a period piece, inspired by true events surrounding the Newsboys' strike of 1899. Phil's just seen it for the first time on Disney+ and we've invited guest and friend of the show Grant Youngsma on to chat with he and Jack about it.

Spoilers abound so make sure you've seen the movie (or just don't care about the movie being spoiled). We get into it all - "papes", people getting "soaked", Christian Bale's singing voice, Robert Duvall's terrible acting, Medda, that awful trial (if you can call it that), as well as our favorite song and dance numbers.

At the end, we talk about the true history of that time period and the various things that Teddy Roosevelt did for the great state of New York as well as our country.

Okay, MAJOR spoilers for the ending of The Clone Wars. You have been warned!! We're not just talking about the last 2 episodes of the Clone Wars in this episode - we're talking about the season as a whole and even the series as a whole. From Maul, to Palpatine, to Mace, Ahsoka, Rex, Jesse, the Clones, Vader and how this makes Revenge of the Sith come alive even more for us now - we get into ALL the nerdy details. This is seriously some of the best Star Wars stuff ever made.

Special thanks to our guest Jake Wilburn this week! He's a wealth of Star Wars knowledge and he weaves the tale of these episodes in with the movies in some awesome ways. To hear more from Jake, check out his podcast at http://pbandjpod.com. It's one of our favorite shows!

Today on the show, we’re talking about Rogue One, the 2016 Star Wars movie. It famously takes place right before the events of the original Star Wars movie (Episode IV - A New Hope), telling the tale about the building of the Death Star and the initial theft of the plans for the superweapon.

Spoilers abound so make sure you've seen the movie (or just don't care about the movie being spoiled). We get into it all - Saw Gerrera, kyber crystals, a blind (but Force sensitive) warrior, Vader's awesome cameos, and incredible attack on Scarif and how effortlessly this movie seems to work its way up to Episode IV.
