October 26, 2023The Nightmare Before Christmas
Happy Halloween!

For its 30th anniversary, we're back for a Halloween special on Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. We dive into the stop motion, the music, and the age-old debate on whether this is a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie (or, perhaps, both).

September 28, 2023Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost

August 17, 2023Brink!
Patrons got this episode a day early. Sign up for our Patreon for monthly bonus episodes, shoutouts in our shows, movie recommendations, occasional early episode drops, and more!

For its 25th anniversary, we're revisiting the skating rink to talk about Disney Channel's Brink!

Starring Erik von Detten and Christina Vidal, Brink! was a landmark DCOM that AJ grew up admiring, but Trevor somehow missed. He quickly realized what a shame it was that it took him as long as it did to catch this one.
