Zach welcomes back the darned delightful Disney devotees Tyler Maybee and Matt Merback for prequel territory as they travel back all the way to the very beginnings of the Walt Disney Studio with a closer look at the man himself and the very short subject cartoons that built an empire.

That's right: Disney in the 20's & 30's HAS ARRIVED!

Settle in for an epic length chat surrounding the beginnings of Walter Elias Disney, his brother Roy, the amazing Ub Iwerks, and the many other key playes in this Ballyhoo Biography to Beat the Band. All of this and more before they dive deep into a plethora of the shorts starring Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, and... Pluto.

Laugh and Learn along as they unearth oft told tales in a rifftastic manner, including mysteries surrounding deleted lines in 'Clock Cleaners', the evolution of Goofy, and of course... the story of how that Mouse named Mickey came to be.

PLUS: Jiminy Cricket joins us at the end!
