Escape From Vault Disney

It's week two of MUPPET MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And this week, the randomizer continues to stubbornly refuse to cover an actual movie or TV show with "Muppet" in the title, instead choosing an episode of the Muppet-adjacent early-90s ABC satirical primetime sitcom from Jim Henson Productions about a prehistoric family of creepy lizard-people. Join Tony Goldmark, Emily Clark, Morgan Funder and Gerald of Stealing Focus as they dig up some DINOSAURS, season one, episode eight, "I Never Ate For My Father!"

It's MUPPET MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our very first week of Muppet Month, the randomizer formally apologizes for making us watch a cancer movie last week by allowing us to do something we've never done before on this show - interview someone who ACTUALLY WORKED ON THE THING WE'RE COVERING! Namely, one of this show's many very talented puppeteers, Grant Baciocco!

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. Y'know, doing this podcast can be a precarious endeavor sometimes. Some weeks, we're laughing our asses off at The Cat from Outer Space or Richie Rich's Christmas Wish...and then there's weeks like this one, when the almighty randomizer sees fit to say "Hey look, a Disney+ original movie from last year about a real-life teenager who died of cancer! Make fun of it, pathetic humans!" And we are forced to obey. Join Tony Goldmark, Kyle A. Carrozza, Josh Saucedo and the one-and-only MarzGurl herself, Kaylyn Saucedo, as a bunch of old people yell at CLOUDS!

The next full episode won't be ready until next week, but in the meantime, here's a BONUS MINISODE in which I announce that MUPPET MONTH won the recent Twitter poll, and explain what does and doesn't count as "Muppet content" for the purposes of it. Plus there's an outtake from the Country Bears episode!

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if a nature documentary looked and felt more like SportsCenter or election night coverage? No, of course you haven't, that's a ridiculous thing to wonder. Nevertheless, this week the randomizer, in its infinite wisdom, goes all the way back to 2017 to select an experimental National Geographic special that decided to be that very abomination for reasons unknown. Join Tony Goldmark, Zach Hurst, Cassie Shima and Luke Ski as they get tickets to see EARTH LIVE! If you're reading this before 11:59PM Pacific on February 14th, there's still time to VOTE for what this show's THEME MONTH will be in March! https://twitter.com/efvdpodcast/status/1358686961666379776

Exactly ten years ago today, on February 3rd, 2011, I released the very first episode of my web series Some Jerk With A Camera, a review of the 2002 Disney classic The Country Bears filmed on location at Disneyland. And now, to celebrate a whole damn decade of me doing this dumb crap, my cohorts and I are setting the randomizer aside for this week so we can revisit and reevaluate what many have called the Citizen Kane of movies about ursine musicians. Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Morgan Funder and David Ganssle as they get mauled by THE COUNTRY BEARS! Watch my original 2011 Country Bears video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpFefqROzDQ March 2021 will be a THEME MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney, and we're determining which theme with March Madness-style Twitter polls.

Let me ask you this: did The Godfather have a cat from outer space in it? Did Lawrence of Arabia have a cat from outer space in it? Did Citizen Kane have a cat from outer space in it? No, no and no, they did not. But you'd better believe the 1978 Disney classic The Cat from Outer Space has a cat from outer space in it, and this week we're bypassing the randomizer for our first-ever Guest's Choice episode, in which our good friend Morgan Funder makes us watch that majestic cinematic epic of the "extraterrestrial feline" subgenre.

The next full episode won't be ready until next week, but in the meantime, here's a BONUS MINISODE devoted entirely to my semiregular "State of the Parks" theme park news/editorial segment. It's been a while since I've actually had time to do such a segment for the show proper, so here's a rundown of theme park news stories I missed over the past few months, namely: - Disneyland canceling the annual pass system - Disneyland's Toy Story parking lot becoming a vaccination super-site - Snow White's Scary Adventures being refurbished into Snow White's Enchanted Wish - Walt Disney World shutting down Mickey's Magical Express - Taika Waititi directing film segments for "Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind" - Imagineers Joe Rohde and Kevin Rafferty retiring

Happy New Year everybody! For Escape From Vault Disney's first episode of 2021, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1993 to pick Disney's live-action adaptation of Mark Twain's immortal 1884 literary classic, a film that dares to posit that the REAL victims of slavery were the white people who felt really bad about it sometimes. Ah, the 90s. Join Tony Goldmark, Morgan Funder, Madeline Maye and Chris Nebergall as they impatiently skim through THE ADVENTURES OF HUCK FINN! Check out my guests' stuff!

Merry belated Christmas everyone! For our third and final Christmas episode of the year, the randomizer goes back to 1998 to pick a Saban-produced direct-to-video sequel that answers the supremely important question, "What would it look like if It's A Wonderful Life had a dinosaur museum heist, a grunge band dressed as a hair metal band, a flying child dictator AND a fire-breathing robot maid?" Join Tony Goldmark, David Ganssle, Randee Martin and the ever-mysterious Carl Featherbottom as they grant RICHIE RICH'S CHRISTMAS WISH!
