Laser Time

Rounding out our MOUSEBUSTERS series of debunking Disney rumors and conspiracies, we're shining a light specifically on Disney movies. Dead animals, panty shots, hidden images and more!

Won't somebody please think of the children! Righteous crusades come and go, but with the truly blessed gift of hindsight, looking back at moral panics aimed at popular culture is undeniably hilarious. Back when the world didn't seem to have any real problems, folks found plenty of ways to lose their minds over innocuous classics, such as Superman, Pokemon, rock music, and yes, even Thundercats.

Through various shows and numerous companies, this week marks the 10th anniversary of the Laser Time gang recording together. Join the original gang as we look back on our favorite moments, talk about how the medium of podcast has grown, and pull back the curtain on an entire decade worth of audio-based buffonery

When Lucasfilm yanked Lego Movie directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, and installed the far more traditional Ron Howard at the helm of Solo, many fans were shocked. And rightly so! Removing a director in the middle of filming is incredibly rare, but as we explore in this episode, it has happened a few times over the last couple of decades and the results aren't always cataclysmic

It's time to explore, dubunk, and quite possibly even bunk several popular rumors revolving around The Happiest Place on Earth. This episode features not only Disney expertise but a former park cast member, so get ready for a much deeper dive into Disneyland mythbustery!

You gotta start somewhere! And even cult shows with small fanbases can end up defining the next wave of comedy and animation. In this episode of Laser Time, we've come up with a selection of fantastic programs whose influence, quality and longevity ended up outweighing their lack of ratings or financial success. Even if you haven't heard out Ground Zero Shows, the players involved likely went on to make something you do know and love. Let us know what we missed!

Whatever happened to that time honored cinematic tradition of putting unaccompanied minors in mortally dangerous situations?! Other than Stranger Things, not a whole lot. But the 1980s were riddled with the Kid in Peril, so join Laser Time as we explore the trope, provide some of our favorite examples, and figure out why the genre doesn't get explored a lot these days

We're taking a break from our traditional format and celebrating one man for an entire episode! Oh yes, it's a Laser Time listening party, and it's devoted 100% to the weird and wonderful work of Norm Macdonald. From his turbulent time at Saturday Night Live to his beautifully chaotic talk show appearances, if you don't crack a smile during this episode, please consult a doctor to make sure you're not dead inside

In honor of Wrestlemania 34, we're looking at some of our favorite moments to ever occur in and around the squared circle: Yelling! Or more specifically, looking at those moments when the actual wrestling stops and little jabs on the mic makes everyone question what is and isn't real. Come on in, this ep is hardly just for Wrasslin' fans!

With the recent shuttering of Toys R Us, the Laser Time gang is taking a nostalgic look at that and several other childhood mainstays that no longer exist, as well as the reasons why. And please, let us know in the comments below what things from your youth are gone but not entirely forgotten
