Have you ever wondered what Lord of the Rings would be like if everyone was a puppet and it was like 10 times creepier? Then you've come to the right episode! Join us as we immerse ourselves in the incredibly creative minds of Jim Henson and his team for a movie that's honestly one-of-a-kind. I mean seriously, can you think of anything else quite like this. So grab some juicy essence as we tackle this trial by stone that 9 out of 10 Chamberlains agree is "Mmmmmmmm"!

Who’s ready for some D&D?! Well not really, but this movie is pretty darn close! Where else can you get Dennis Quaid with a wig as mysterious as his accent? Or see the young, badass days of Friar Lawrence? Or perhaps most importantly, a Sean Connery DRAGON?! So grab your Bowen arrows, watch out for pointy spikes, and join us for 1996’s Dragonheart!

How do you follow up on a moving, intense, and oh so sad deconstruction of the American Dream? You hit all the beats again but make it a Looney Tunes cartoon in the Ol' West! It's about as good as it sounds. For better or worse. Join us as we follow our young, mouse hero who's learned absolutely nothing as he encounters scenery-chewing villains, plenty of OH NO moments, and a subplot involving the bond between a cat and another mouse that's far more interesting than anything else in this movie. And most surprisingly, a moving swan song for the one and only Jimmy Stewart. Get ready to give your best flying AHH as we dive into 1991's Fievel Goes West!

Everyone is SO DIABOLICAL. And we're talking EVIL INCARNATE here, with the exception of truly the best of boys. Join us as we kick off 2022 with cute puppies, overqualified lackeys, and SO MUCH SLOBBER with 1992's Beethoven! And did we mention the evil? Also, we love Bonnie Hunt.

With 2021 in the books, join us as we look back on the movies we watched this past year! We'll go over our grades and see if we got it right, or if some adjusting is required. And finally, we'll finish with our choices for Biggest Surprise and Biggest Disappointment. What will it be? Pokemon: The First Movie? Thumbelina? Batman & Robin? Something else entirely? Only one way to find out!

In today's episode, James and Nicole dissect 1974's The Year Without a Santa Claus. A "movie" in only the loosest of terms. Yes, they know it was a TV special, and not technically a movie. But still.

Listen along as they rage against the capitalist machine that prevents Santa from getting the sick day that he so clearly needs.

It's Christmas time! And to kick off the festivities, James and Nicole revisit the 1964 stop-motion classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!

For the second installment of What A Movie's Batman double feature, James and Nicole examine the animated (cult?) classic from 1993, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm! A movie that is a better Batman film (and a better film in general) than Batman & Robin in nearly every conceivable way! Listen along as they discuss, among other things: the emotional maturity of this and most other entries in the DC Animated Universe; the ratio of graveyard to non-graveyard set pieces; and the missed opportunity for a Mask of the Phantasm/Phantom of the Opera crossover.

What do you get when you have villains who clearly understood the assignment, and heroes who didn't even do the homework? You get the mess that is 1997's Batman & Robin! Someone really needs to call OSHA, safety railings could prevent every villain origin story as well as Robin's general dumbassery. If you've come for the ice puns, billionaires in space, and ALL THE LEATHER, then you've come to the right place. Throw on those Bat butts and Bat nips and join us!
