Married to the Idea

Have you been bored with nothing to do? Then The Phantom Tollbooth is for you! We discuss this amazing work of children's literature that everyone loves but no one knows about, as well as its animated Chuck Jones adaptation. We talk about how the author blew off work to write a story about a boy who asked too many questions, why so many kid movies have unnecessary musical numbers, and what improvements could be made in adaption to bring it to the witty, wise, wordplay-filled heights of the source material. Shout out to our Sponsordome contenders - Audible (try your 30-day free membership at audibletrial.com/marriedtotheidea) and Cult of Dracula, a comic by Richard Davis.

To celebrate the trailer drop for Wolfwalkers, we're talking about Cartoon Saloon's first two animated movies - The Secret of Kells & Song of the Sea, a couple of fantastically beautiful entries in the "animation is NOT a genre" argument. We compare these two Irish tales in the way they use their animation, tell their story, and comment on the themes of expression, magic, family, and hope. *SPOILERS!

Welcome back to another great television series about kick-ass females that you should definitely be watching, but only if you can see an NC-17 rated movie. For some reason, we spend the first twenty minutes naming our signature vodka and talking about Ryan Reynolds (seriously, skip to 19:00 if none of that interests you), but eventually we get to talking about the new modern take on this historical figure of import, as well as what Hogwarts house she would be in. *Warning: this episode containins tons of filthy language and female empowerment, as well as some minor spoilers for the first season of The Great.*

We're back! Did ya miss us? While recuperating, we've been watching a TON of quality couch content, and we've gotta talk about our girl Harley Quinn in her two most recent outings - Birds of Prey, and the Harley Quinn animated series (season one). We talk about the crazy wide cast of side characters, the villains both dastardly and loveable, and the character arc of Harls in both live-action and animated form. *MINOR SPOILERS*

We know we said we were gonna take a breather between the first run of the Steven Universe and the movie. After all, fans had to wait for a few years, surely we could wait a month or two. We didn't even last a week. But what can we say - we missed all of you! So enjoy a SPOILERific episode of Keep Beach City Quarantined as we talk about the awesome music, the new characters, and a familiar story that nonetheless warms (and breaks) your heart.

Well, if Disney+ is gonna give it to us, of course we had to talk about it. But Aaron and I were going in blind, so we needed some help. Sarah, both a musical fan and specialist, joins us in the recording booth for this special episode as we gush, dissect, and theorize about the musical that has been on everyone's minds and playlists for the past five years - Hamilton. *SPOILERS, but we're pretty sure everyone in the world except us already knew everything about it.*
