Happy Holidays, everyone! This week, for this podcast's first Christmas episode of 2020, the randomizer picks a 2011 Disney Channel original movie, based on a Disney Channel sitcom, featuring everything Christmas is all about: hitchhiking, angry gamers, confusing business names, crappy old cars, UFO conspiracy theorists, luggage theft, kidnapping LARPers and paintball! Join Tony Goldmark, Emily Clark, Kyle Kallgren and Variety's Deputy Awards and Features Editor Jenelle Riley (!!!) as they wish everyone GOOD LUCK CHARLIE, IT'S CHRISTMAS!

This week Tony joins the hosts of this weekend's "Thanks For The Magic" charity livestream as the randomizer, in its infinite wisdom, forces them to watch a 2011 NatGeo documentary special that for some weird reason saw fit to ask the bold question, "What if the water had no water in it?" Join Tony Goldmark, Kevin Anderson, Charlie Callahan and Haley Baker Callahan as they inexplicably DRAIN THE GREAT LAKES! In the time since we recorded and released this podcast, Drain the Great Lakes has been removed from Disney+, but you can still watch it HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdejfV_kYY8 

DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded and released prior to the arrest of one of its guests, Kyle Carrozza. We at Escape From Vault Disney strongly condemn Mr. Carrozza's actions and offer our deepest sympathies to his victims, and we will not be inviting him on this podcast again in the future. That said, rather than attempt to rewrite history, we have decided to leave this episode online and intact as a time capsule of when it was made. This week the randomizer flies our magic bed all the way back to 1971, when Disney made a spiritual successor to Mary Poppins in which Jessica Fletcher and Mr. Banks encounter talking cartoon animals AND literal Nazis in the same movie, and somehow the Nazis are more polite. Join Tony Goldmark, Kyle A. Carrozza, Luke Ski and Lindsay Smith as they stock up on BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS!

After taking a couple weeks off, Escape From Vault Disney returns to join forces with the Channel KRT podcast, and the randomizer mercifully picks one of the funniest and best movies on Disney+, the feature directorial debut of acclaimed Oscar-nominated auteur Jim Henson, the eternal classic film that gifted the cinema landscape with those immortal words to live by, "That's a frog. Bears wear hats." Join Tony Goldmark, Tyler Green, Randee Martin and Kitty Quinn as they solve THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER!

Just in the nick of time for Halloween, the randomizer picks another Halloween title, this one a well-remembered Disney Channel Original Movie from 1998! You've heard of Halloween the holiday, Halloween the movie and Halloween the Horror Nights, but did you know Halloweentown can be a TOWN? And hey, Kalabar (or possibly Calabar) is actually IN this one! Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Gaby Tyrrell as they hitchhike all the way to HALLOWEENTOWN!

For our first-ever seasonally-appropriate Halloween episode, the randomizer has chosen an episode of a Disney Channel sitcom about a sketch show wherein the sketch-show-within-a-sitcom rebelled and took over its host program, and gave us the once-in-a-lifetime pairing of unquestionably the two greatest musical geniuses of our time, Demi Lovato and Shaquille O'Neal. Join Tony Goldmark, Kevin Anderson, Ryan Hipp and Randee Martin as they forecast SONNY WITH A CHANCE, season two, episode eighteen, "A So Random Halloween Special!"

It's Escape From Vault Disney's 27th episode spectacular, in which Tony joins the hosts of The Weird Al-Phabet podcast to celebrate the work of the one-and-only "Weird Al" Yankovic just in time for his birthday! Specifically, we cover another episode of the underrated animated series in which Mr. Yankovic himself voices the world's unluckiest kid. Join Tony Goldmark, Andrew Frola, Michael Hunter, Daniel Kawka and David Spencer as they they break MILO MURPHY'S LAW, season one, episode eight, "The Substitute/Time Out!"

Romcoms! What are they? Where do they come from? What do they want from us? On this week's episode, the randomizer goes back to 1995 to pick a semi-remembered example of the much-maligned subgenre, a Sandra Bullock vehicle that really puts the "coma" in "comady!" Join Tony Goldmark, Tim Crist, Kitty Quinn and Luke Ski as they remember all the fun stuff you missed out on WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING!

Y'know, hiring the editor of Apocalypse Now to write and direct an extremely depressing grimdark mid-80s sequel to The Wizard Of Oz loaded with tons of horrifying nightmare-inducing imagery and almost zero connection to the 1939 MGM musical everyone loves might SEEM like a terrible idea... (long pause) so anyway, join Tony Goldmark, Sydney Agnew, Kevin Anderson and Morgan Funder as the almighty randomizer forces them to begrudgingly RETURN TO OZ!

In the spine-tingling conclusion of our very first Patreon Request Month, we cover Kenneth Hodgins and Patrick Thatcher's request for one of Disney's most notorious cult classics, a whiz-bang retro action spectacle from 1991 that truly had everything...except an audience. Join Tony Goldmark, Alessandra Dreyer, David Ganssle and Ryan Hipp as they go soarin' through the stratosphere with THE ROCKETEER!
