Inspired by our viewing of Hook we went further back in time to Disney's Peter Pan from 1953 and discovered a whole lot you don't want your kids repeating on the playground. Also, we still love the Hook - Smee dynamic which may be the best part of this movie.

Is Indiana Jones still an iconic hero (yes), or the worst archaeologist ever (also, yes). In this episode, we debate our tolerance for all the murder and black market antiquity trade in the first installment of the Indiana Jones franchise.

Trigger warning if the mere mention of garthim gives you nightmares.
