For week two, Sydney decides to push the 'anything I say for my birthday month goes" to its logical extreme. It is time to talk about football! Since the podcast started, Sydney has quietly been learning the ins and outs of professional football, watching the Eagles go from Superbowl hopefuls to Superbowl champions. Meanwhile, Carter has been living the classic tale of 'a child inheriting his parent's bad team' and all the trials that brings.

Listen in as the duo talk politics, Kdot, and all things fandom.

It's that time of year again! As we rotate around the Earth once again, it is time to celebrate our fabulous girl boss host: Sydney! For the entirety of February, Sydney is calling the shots, deciding what we talk about and what we watch.

And she picked a doozy this week.

My Friend, Martin, is an edu-mation about the life of Martin Luther King, as Bill and Ted style shenanigans send us back in time to watch the Civil Rights Era. And if that sounds insane, don't worry. It is!

Listen in as we kick off Sydney Month with chaos, politics, and trauma.

For anyone who's followed the podcast for a while, you've probably heard us mention "Carter's Mulan idea." An episode where we sit down and compare the original animated Mulan with the 2020 live-action remake.

This week, to celebrate Lunar New Year, the Disney Desk is finally committing. Tune in as we talk tone, reference, and the many directions a huge studio tentpole can be pulled.

Even after a few years, it is hard to fully recognize Fox Studios as a part of the larger Disney family. Even as the prominently feature X-men, Simpsons and Family Guy, there is a feeling that they are less of a 'member' of the family and more of a 'trophy.'

But in this odd space, Carter realized that Fox held a sneaky addition to the New Year's canon: Futurama. Matt Groening's second most iconic show and cult hit, the series started on New Year's Eve 2999 and survived multiple scheduling moves and cancelations.

This week, Sydney watches 'Space Pilot 3000,' 'The Series has Landed' and 'Luck of the Fry-rish' for the first time and shares her feelings on this weirdly mundane, heartful show.

As the New Year rolls on, Carter and Sydney find themselves once again introspective on this era of Disney animation. 20 years ago, Bob Iger stepped in as the CEO of Walt Disney - with a few years off in the middle - and oversaw a meteoric return to form for Walt Disney Animation. So this week, the Disney Desk breaks down the 'Walt Disney Animation Studios' Era, ranking every film from Meet the Robinsons to last year's Moana 2. What rises? What falls? Tune in to find out!

Major studios spend millions of dollars and years in advance to map out their yearly release schedules. Every quarter, every holiday, every tentpole and silo needs the perfect release date to maximize the box office, keep the brand strong, and keep the audience hyped for 365 days.

Or said studios just kindof throw some leftovers together from a pandemic and multiple strikes.

This week, Carter and Sydney live up to the Disney Desk moniker and break down the Mouse's 0225 release schedule. Which films will be surprise hits, which ones will disappoint, and will people be chill and cool about Snow White for five minutes?

Happy 2025! After ending the year on back-to-back-to-back-to-back themed months, the Disney Desk decides to take it back to some good old-fashioned Disney discussion. And what better topic than THE Disney thing from their childhood: High School Music. Iconic, ground-breaking, game-changing, High School Musical was the cultural moment for kids growing up in the 2000's.

Listen in as Carter and Sydney talk memories, camp, choreography, and the legend that is Kenny Ortega.

And just like that, it is one more sleep 'till Christmas. To wrap up our seasonal celebrations, Disney Desk sits down and talks about their favorite holiday movies, while trying to figure out why the genre has gone by the wayside in recent years.

As we reach the last episode of the year, Carter and Sydney want to thank you for joining us for another year of the podcast. Have a safe, happy, and joyous winter season. Merry Christmas from us at the Disney Desk.

The Naughty and Nice Lists. So important to the holidays Santa has to check them twice! For the penultimate episode of Podmas, Carter and Sydney debate which Disney characters they think belong on the Nice List and which on the Naughty List

Across Youtube and the Podcast space, there are a lot of creators, pundits and journalists that have helped the Disney Desk find its inspiration and direction. So for this day of Podmas, Carter and Sydney are citing just a few creators they love.
