Grab those dice, Sonny Jim! Roll with the punches and and pray they read 5 or 8 because we're talking Joe Johnston's original gateway horror creature feature Jumanji (1995) for its 30th anniversary, or as it could also be called: 'Daddy Issues: The Movie'.

Join us as we go all in on the film that made Trace a fan of creature features to begin with. From its dark tone (especially when compared to the newer Jumanji films) to its scary imagery (will anything be more terrifying that watching little Alan Parrish get sucked into the game?), they just don't make kids' movies like this anymore!

Plus, animatronics vs. CGI, the "cruel torture" subjected to actor Bradley Pierce during the production, our many, many issues with the ending, and why the film needs more Bebe Neuwirth.

CORRECTIONS: Trace makes 2 errors in this episode:

1. Christopher Daniel Barnes (Greg in the Brady Bunch movies), voices Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid, not Aladdin in Aladdin.
2. Laura Bell Bundy did not win "Legally Blonde: The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods". She originated the role of Elle Woods in the original Broadway production, with Bailey Hanks winning the reality show and replacing her.
