Dan and Brian continue their Musical Decades theme month with a look at two Disney live action-animation hybrid films, the beloved Julie Andrews-starring Oscar winner and its less heralded (but adored-by-Brian) follow up.

Join as they discuss Walt Disney's later career and his obsession with Disney Land, the film's multifaceted look at living your life with a "spoonful of sugar," Dick Van Dyke and his cockney accent, Mary Poppins' unexpected protagonist and peculiar structure, the curious choice of setting a whimsical family musical during World War 2, the traits of a '60s and '70s musicals depicted in the pair, and, of course, the battle of Nazis vs. animated suits of armor.
