May 26, 2022 DCS - Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers
Jacob and KC return to the podcast that started it all, with a special reunion episode of DISNEY CHANNEL SURFERS.
In the latest IP Mashup movie, from the company that owns almost ALL of the IP's out there, Disney is cashing in on the nostalgia for that animated show about a pair of mismatched chipmunk besties who have a knack for solving crimes as the "Rescue Rangers." At least, that's who they played on television. Chip and Dale are actors, you see, actors who live and coexist with live people and animated characters of all dimensions. Though "Rescue Rangers" is a thing of the past, Dale is still trying to hold on to fame, while Chip has moved on to a thankless desk job. When their old pal Moneterey Jack is kidnapped, Chip and Dale reunite to put their skills as actors who played detectives for television to the test by trying to find Monty themselves.
It's definitely a movie that deserves talking about, so tune in to hear Jacob and KC's thoughts and be sure to tune in for the SEASON 3 Premiere episode of THE MOVIE CONNECTION on June 4th.
