Crux Conception has over 20 years of Law Enforcement (LEO) experience, which includes homicide detective, gang unit specialist, hostage negotiator and five years as a special agent with the Department of Homeland Security. He's also a host of The Real CSI: Miami on CBS.
In this episode, we talk about Crux's unique approach to being a detective and hostage negotiator, along with his profiling of the infamous Lady Bird Lake serial killer (a case that's still unsolved).
If you noticed a different intro audio, it's an exclusive track called "Paranoid America" by 9th Prince (founding member of Killarmy)

James and the Giant Peach check a lot of boxes for some consistent themes we've been seeing in Disney movies. This one in particular is interesting because the author is yet another British Intelligence officer who just happened to write successful children's books. He might have also influenced the US joining WW2 by having the ear of Eleanor Roosevelt.

If you've been following this series you'll be familiar with a concept I've been talking about called the "Disney Proxy" which in short, replaces a child's authority figures (parents) and replaces them with Disney characters (intellectual property). Toy Story ups the ante here with "Pixar Proxy" which does the same thing, but in a new 3d realm.
Unironically, Toy Story is the establishment of a new era of this dynamic using digital homunculi (plural of homunculus, if you're wondering). Perhaps one of the most nefarious tropes to show kids: that their inanimate (name brand only!) toys and material possessions love them back.

This movie is a bit offensive for more than the obvious reasons. Sure, John Smith was 24 and Pocahontas was 10. They probably never met, and the real story involved her getting "hoodwinked" (that's a very specific term) and showed off like a circus attraction.
But beyond all of those tired takes, she herself is offensive for a few reasons. The inexplicable ability to understand and speak English can be forgiven for story purposes. Falling in love with a colonizer at first sight a bit less so, but also acceptable because of the age group and runtime. But then consider the actual content of what she says.
She's completely full of herself in this movie, implying that just because of cultural differences somehow her way of life is superior or more noble. Nobody can paint with all the colors of the wind, that's just an abstract rhetorical device to condescend, or worse: a misdirection from the gold which we still haven't found to this day.

It's fitting that A Goofy Movie ends up being the 33rd movie on our list. Symbolism aside, this is such a unique movie that's well worth your time to watch at least once. Bigfoot, NLP, and some type of daimon/daemon entity that tries to split up Max and has dad, Goofy.
A surprisingly relatable and serious movie that also manages to keep a good pace and remain entertaining. One of the better Disney movies imo.

Another Disney classic, this time an ingenious endeavor to create a product and IP that can span from Halloween to Christmas. Is Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? And why aren't there any classic Disney Thanksgiving movies?

Have you ever considered the similarities between "hakuna matata" and "do as thou wilt?" The Lion King is legitimately a good movie. Amazing animation, compelling story and a surprisingly good soundtrack that holds up over time. And of course, the infamous "SEX" scene... but what's more nefarious: a hard to read word that lasts for 2 seconds, or the ongoing Disney Proxy dynamic that subverts the authority of parental figures? Or the Crowleyian like chants of the second half?

Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney "classics" for lots of reasons, even the soundtrack is good. Did you know that the original story actually took place in China? Here we talk about the backstory, production, mythology, history and more. We even talk about the Aladdin Genesis/SNES games, Magic Carpet Ride at DisneyQuest and of course, Robin Williams.

Beauty and the Beast was peak Disney renaissance, and a commercial success. As with many previous Disney animations, the studio deviated far from the original script, in some cases changing the core dynamics of the story. This is a perfect example, as Belle's father is reduced to a mediocre engineer (in the original story he was a king). We also get into the dark origins of the inspiration of Beauty and the Beast: a link to an older time when arranged marriages were the norm and many young brides would see their assigned husbands as older and hairier "beasts".
