Plussin' and Cussin'

Click-Click, Boom! Time to blow on in to Number 7, Cherry Tree Lane and get a load of this Banks family! That's right, Deefy's finally finished talking about PL Travers so we can watch the movie and talk about it in classic PnC fashion! We've got movie trivia, boner pills, dem Island Boys, and Saliva on the docket for discourse! Hope you love to laugh, cause this tea party's happening up in the rafters! You ever hear the one about the guy with a wooden leg named Smith?

The breaking winds of change are blowin' in, which means trouble's a brewin,' and we're about to begin.. to actually start watching Mary Poppins. But first we'll finish hammering out the details of Pamela Travers's strange life, just like Walt managed to hammer her inexhaustible will down to a nub in time to finish making this movie. Find out how with Timiny and Deef Van Dyke!

Here come Dick and Bob, Here come Dick and Bob, right down Dick and Bob Lane! (Okay not that funny or clever but I've had it stuck in my head ever since Deefy sang it at the end of the last episode). We're talking about Robert and Richard Sherman, the musical powerhouse who were Disney's unseen but much-heard musical engine during the Sixties. Since Mary Poppins is arguably their best work, we're gonna get to know these guys a bit. If you didn't prepay for your tickets, it's just tuppence at the door!

We begin our exhaustive coverage on the world's greatest emotionally withholding nanny by examining her problematic creator, an enigma of a woman who would end up calling herself Pamela Travers. You're gonna need more than a spoonful of sugar to wash the medicine down, 'cause this lady's a real pill.

Haloo my bonnie bairns, and have we got a cracklin' yarn for ye today! Last year was for the dogs, but this year the cats come out to play! We're kicking off 2023's Pussin' and Cussin' series with a Scottish banger from 1963: The Three Lives of Thomasina. Now that I think about it, they really should've used a Scottish Fold for the cat.. Anyways, this episode gets a little loose in the cage after awhile, and meanders a bit, but that's just Timmy and Deef enjoyin' the beautifol Scottish weather! [Preemptive further apologies to the Romani peoples are probably in order, js :( ]

Hope you showed up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, because it's time for some sexy squirrels! TH Half-White and Archimedeez-Nuts return to give you a walkthrough of 1963's Sword in the Stone. We're covering time travelling, shape-shifting wizards, and egregious voice-cracking displays of puberty. So let's get a grip on that hilt and give it 'ell!

Grab your snorkels and O2 tanks and get your Logitech controllers ready, cause we're goin' on a good ol' fashioned Deef Dive behind the scenes of Disney's 1963 romp through medieval England, The Sword in the Stone! This ep focuses on TH White (the writer of the source material), and the writers, animators, and musicians who brought the magic together. Part 2 will focus on our coverage of the movie itself.

Halloooooo out there to all you Pooh-heads in your XXXL Pooh pajama pants! (And by the way, you really shouldn't smoke indoors). Today we get to the big stuff-and-fluff bottom of a tale of a bear of very little brain and all his dumb animal friends. We bust out the honey and condensed milk and jump headlong into the Hundred Acre Woods of Disney's sixties-era adaptations. So grab yourself a "little something" and hunker down, cause it's gonna be a blustery one!

To all you faithful plussers and cussers who've been grinning and BEARing it for the past few episodes, we thank you. But your wait for audio that is actually BEARable to listen to is finally over. That's right, Timmy the Q talked to somebody smarter and we've finally got Deefy coming through in dulcet tones on his own mic out of his own Lubbock masturbatorium, as opposed to squeaking out of a tinny phone speaker. Deefy unveils his new Lubbock-based podcast, "Show Me Yer Haboobs," and we do a little history lesson on A.A. Milne, his literary love letter to his son Christopher Robin, and their complicated relationship as time went on.

For the conclusion of our series on Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, we dig into this opportunistic piece of crap and see it through to its (very short) credit sequence. Seriously, this movie was made by like thirteen people. Doesn't mean I hate it any less. But that's a little bit impressive. Also, Deefy mentions the company who made the masks for Pooh and Piglet. They also deserve some props. Our coverage of the movie is perhaps even lazier than the movie itself, but here it is folks..
