In anticipation of Thanksgiving and all it entails, we invite you to feast on this big-hearted indie sleeper about one plucky young lady’s best worst Thanksgiving ever. Pieces of April seems to be better known these days for being namedropped in the last episode of Bojack Horseman than for its own merits, which frankly is a crime, because it should be a required watch for any family, regardless of how dysfunctional they are - or if they’re actually related or not. Gobble gobble!

Intro song: HOME - On the Way Out

Outro song: SiIvaGunner - Wi-Fi Plaza: Parade (In-Game Version)

This week we’re getting sporty with a fairly recent true-story flick featuring Oscar winner Emma Stone as tennis legend Billie Jean King, squaring off against Michael Scott. Is it worth the “racket”? Is Emma Stone really convincing as a tennis player? And how much more tangents and James Corden slander can we squeeze into this episode? Find out when we witness the historic Battle of the Sexes!

Intro song: prima - june gloom.

Outro song: cav. - Rain

We’re taking a big leap (you know, the way a frog leaps) this week with our first episode devoted to an animated film - and where better to start than with Disney’s last big 2D-animated musical princess spectacle? Well, I can think of a few better movies to start off on, but this is the one the wheel happened to land on this week. Anyway, we’re lucky that Disney hasn’t officially announced that they’re farting out a joyless and hollow live-action remake of this one yet. Enjoy this before they do...

Intro song: Dontcry - Feels Like Home

Outro song: BONI - Solitude

UPDATE 4/6/22: This episode has been getting renewed attention thanks to Adult Swim bringing back Pibby for their April Fools stunt this year. While I'm happy to see this happen, the other episodes of Watch This have been left in the dust, which is a shame because they're much better and funnier than this one. I strongly recommend you listen to our episodes on Chicago, The Blues Brothers, The Mitchells Vs. the Machines, O Night Divine and Ratatoing, and if you like them, then check out the rest! It would mean the world to me if you gave this podcast more love!

For our first ever bonus episode, we watch and give feedback on Adult Swim’s Learning with Pibby pilot short that’s taken the Internet by storm for the past week. And we really, really hope that it becomes a full series. So come and learn with Pibby!

Intro and outro music: SiivaGunner - Your Best Friend (True Pacifist Version)

For our first ever Halloween episode, we dive into one of the newest offerings on Disney+: Muppets Haunted Mansion! While we don’t have that much to say this time around (it’s the shortest thing we’ve ever covered on the podcast), rest assured that this is still a spooky, star-studded time for all. Just don’t forget to bring your death certificate!

Intro song: emaycee - Long Nights

Outro song: Vinesauce Joel - Super Ghostbusters (track 1)

Normally I'd put a Justwatch link here, but since this is a streaming exclusive I'll just guide you to its Disney+ page this time around: https://www.disneyplus.com/movies/muppets-haunted-mansion/5F6XYZYVhMms?irclickid=3CsxkzzvzxyIRHnyqjWYSydRUkG0Vm1eC0R7QY0&irgwc=1&cid=DSS-Affiliate-Impact-Content-JustWatch%20GmbH-707638

We’re on a mission from God this week as we cover the first - and arguably best - movie based on a recurring SNL sketch. This one’s so influential that every movie ever made ripped it off. Yes, even the ones that came before it. Also this episode was delayed for almost a month because I became Valve all of a sudden.

Intro song: Kanisan - Withheld Call

Outro song: Dr. Dundiff - Through the Woods

Kay, another Rock of Ages pal, joins our circle as we switch gears from comedy to tragedy with the story of a little fishing boat from Massachusetts enduring some nasty weather. Along the way, we mark the first appearance of John C. Reilly on the podcast and engage in playful slander relating to James Corden and the… interesting casting choices for the upcoming Mario animated movie. Come sail with us into The Perfect Storm!

Intro song: Monma - Chromo

After a few rough starts, the first episode of Watch This has finally arrived! Romi and friends (here consisting of fellow Rock of Ages folk Andrew, Nick and - for the first 30 minutes, anyway - Riley) dive into her favorite movie ever - meaning it’s all downhill from here. Nevertheless, we set the stage pretty well for the rest of the podcast.

Intro song: Towerz x Hi Jude - Something to Cherish
