Plussin' and Cussin'

We begin the PnC's Dog Days of Winter series with a lil peek into the origins of 1955's Lady and the Tramp. But first, Tim and Deefy catch up on what's been going on in the downtime. Hear about Timmy's adventures in Vegas and having Covid (don't worry, it was just wimpy little Omicron). We also talk a bit about Encanto. I'm gonna be honest here: only about fifteen minutes of this podcast really has anything to do with Lady and the Tramp. If you're a history purist, skip to about the 30 minute mark. Welcome to Plussin' and Cussin's debut ep of Twenty Twenty T-AWOOOooooo!

Look what we did, you little jerks! It's Plussin' and Cussin's second annual Christmas bash. This year we're doing the newest addition to the Home Alone franchise, starring the fat little British kid from JoJo Rabbit, the funny guy from Twitter, and the College Humor chick who wants to give you the driest blowjob ever. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

Time for a deep dive into the foul year of our Lord, 1955! Walt hates commies and needs to make a movie about a red-blooded, hard-nosed and hard-dicked American. Enter Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier! This is one of America's first rock stars, and an illustration of what happens when one man's legend becomes bigger than the man during his own lifetime. We swim around with crocodiles, grin down some 'bars and 'wrastle 'em into table meat, and get into some grisly (and rather disappointing) truths about the Alamo.  

On a very San Antonio-centric episode, we talk about the man, the myth, the legend: Davy Crockett. Find out how one of Texas's patron saints made his bones killin' 'bars and slingin'  tales about killin' 'bars all the way to Washington and beyond. Put on your coon-skin caps buckaroos! (Sold at Alamo gift shop for $18.95 USD).

Strap yourselves into your Doom Buggies, cause it's time to go on a spooky ride.. that's a movie.. that's based on a ride.. that's sixty years old. Sounds like a great idea! Deefy prattles on about his love for the Haunted Mansion while Timmy pines for the days of higher quality Muppet content. Yes, all the stars are here! Arnett! Sajak! Bargain Bin-Manuel Miranda! Find out how Iron Maiden broke Deefy's fridge, and why Timothy Boo Mouse thinks king prawn should be forever stricken from the Muppet menu. We're gonna be a couple of real Statler and Waldorfs today. Boooo!!! 

Set your engines for the second star to the right and straight on till morning! Here's the part where we cut to the chase and talk about the actual movie. Take our respective hands; we're off to Never Never Land

This here's the part where we talk about the MAKING OF stuff, for all you film buffs out there. We talk about the heads that came together to make PP, and then get into the short, sad tale of the actor who portrayed Peter Pan. He's essentially one of the first children that Hollywood chewed up and spit out as a ruined husk. THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS

We're starting a four part series on a sociopathic little fairy boy with all of his baby teeth who took the world by storm in the early Twentieth Century by doing a little digging into the strange little man who created him. Trying a little something different here, this is the first part of our Peter Pan series, focused exclusively on JM Barrie and his stories that gave birth to Disney's masterpiece nearly a half century later.

What could this title mean? Do the Plussers/Cucksters reenact that scene from Patch Adams where that old lady's dying wish is to enter a pool full of noodles, a wish which the titular Patch later fulfills? Or is it just a couple of seasoned journalists watching 2021's Jungle Cruise in a kiddie pool in one Deefy 2600's driveway, one of whom chooses spaghetti as his maritime snack? Can Disney turn a theme park ride from 1955 into a passable movie? And will Robin Williams factor into future episodes sooner than you might think? Much like DwayneTheRockJohnson, we will be your tour guides on this exotic journey to discover the mysteries of what's inside of Emily Blount's blouse.  What's your dying wish? Watch out Dwayne! Thar be meatballs ahead!

On a golden afternoon that bled into the wee hours, we recorded an episode of the podcast at Brick in the Blue Star with our friend Michael Julian. Things go from curious to curiouser as we cover Lewis Carroll, aka the Michael Jackson of the Victorian era, and delve into why Alice in Wonderland is so synonymous with tripping balls. Come down the rabbit hole with us, and don't forget to bring your notes! Remember what the dormouse said, cause we got too drunk and forgot :(
