November 5, 2025

This Week in Geek’s Loose Cannon is our all around movies podcast covering the weird, wild, or sometimes nostalgic world of films.

This time, our crew of Birdman, Ken, and David discuss the breath that is the Disney Aladdin Trilogy of films. That’s right we talk about the original 1992 classic, its TV direct to video movie Return of Jafar, and the direct to video film that completed the trilogy King of Thieves. We also touch on the legacy of Howard Ashman and the subtle little touches that almost made it into the first film, how Return of Jafar feels lesser and how King of Thieves ends the series of films on a better note.

It’s time to head to a land in a faraway place where the caravan camels roam with the Aladdin Trilogy.It’s another TWIG Loose Cannon. Please Be Kind and Don’t Forget to Rewind before returning your videos to the shelves.
