Shorts! Looney Tunes: Porky in Wackyland

Season 8 · Episode 186

Friday, April 3, 2026 • Duration 38:00

Our final short of 1938 is a cartoon that looks to the future, in that in many ways it feels more modern than most of the cartoons surrounding it that year, or even for several years after. Clearly the directors at Warner Bros thought so too, since they remade it beat-for-beat around a decade later. But feeling modern doesn't mean it's good, so... is this one good, or just a historical curiosity? Listen to find out!

Welcome to the Space Show

Season 8 · Episode 185

Wednesday, March 25, 2026 • Duration 01:07:17

(Spoiler Section Length - 14min 50sec)

What starts as a simple story about a group of schoolchildren learning to live together and communicate ends up being a galaxy-spanning adventure where those same kids go to the dark side of the moon, ride a lizard catbus, and stop a megalomaniacal villain from remaking the universe to suit his desires. But while that last thing is important, it's the visit to the moon and riding the catbus and visiting a planet of dog people that is the real heart of the movie. In short: it's about the journey, not the destination. Does that focus still make it worth watching, or does it make it a slog that's not worth sitting through? Listen to find out!

Shorts! Mickey Mouse: The Brave Little Tailor

Season 8 · Episode 185

Wednesday, March 25, 2026 • Duration 32:40

When it comes to star characters for media creators, fame can be a tricky thing. It can often result in the dulling down of a once vibrant character, a sanding of the edges so the character can conform to the role of company mascot. Perhaps no character is more indicative of this than Mickey Mouse, once an adventurous little rascal, now often considered synonymous with a lumbering behemoth of a company rather than a character in his own right. But when did that change happen? Well, it was gradual, but by the late 30s, it was definitely already happening, resulting in the famous Mouse appearing in fewer and fewer cartoons while his costars Donald, Goofy, and even his own dog Pluto took center stage. But before his own cartoon short series became, essentially, a second place to put Pluto cartoons, there was one last hurrah, one last big cartoon to put Mickey in the spotlight. But was it actually good? Let's find out!

The Secret of the Third Planet

Season 8 · Episode 184

Wednesday, March 11, 2026 • Duration 38:50

(Spoiler Section Length - 4min 24sec)

We've watched several Russian films on this podcast before, but most of them were fantasy in nature, rather than sci-fi. This is an off-beat sort of sci-fi, but nonetheless is full of aliens, spaceships, laser guns and robots! Debuting a few years after Star Wars, this film still seems more rooted in older depictions of spaceships and more groovy sensibilities, despite releasing in the 80s. At just under 50 minutes, is this odd little movie worth the time investment? Listen to find out!

Shorts! Merrie Melodies: The Night Watchman

Season 9 · Episode 184

Monday, March 9, 2026 • Duration 26:21

Termite Terrace had a lot of directors come and go over the years, but perhaps its most well known has finally gotten to sit in the director's chair: Chuck Jones. While Jones' early work is often criticized for its Disney-esque sensibilities, do those criticisms apply to this first directorial effort? And regardless, is the short worth watching nowadays? Listen to find out!

Fantasia 2000 (feat. Ryan)

Season 8 · Episode 183

Wednesday, February 25, 2026 • Duration 01:55:16

Many decades after the original, Disney finally decided to make a sequel to the original Fantasia, and in so doing they found themselves repeating mistakes while also chasing new sensibilities, resulting in a film that is less lauded than its predecessor... but does that mean it's actually less good? Listen to find out!

Shorts! Looney Tunes: Porky in Egypt

Season 8 · Episode 183

Monday, February 23, 2026 • Duration 26:08

When you see the title 'Porky in Egypt' and you hear it's a cartoon from the 1930s, your hopes for that short being good might immediately dwindle, as you imagine just how racist it probably is. And certainly this cartoon is not exempt from such issues, but they take up a surprisingly small portion of the runtime. So what is the rest of the cartoon about? Trust me when I say that it's better for you to find out yourself!

The King and I (1999)

Season 8 · Episode 182

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 • Duration 59:44

(Spoiler Section Length - 6min 4sec)

Most animated musicals are original works, rather than adaptations of classic stage shows, but this one's an exception! Taking a classic Rogers and Hammerstein musical, this movie tries to bring it to an audience grown used to Disney Renaissance fare, and it makes a few changes in an attempt to appeal to that audience. Are these changes successful, and regardless, does the original work's quality shine through? Listen to find out!

Shorts! Betty Boop: Buzzy Boop at the Concert & Sally Swing

Season 8 · Episode 182

Wednesday, February 4, 2026 • Duration 22:38

Our time with Betty Boop is unfortunately coming to a close, as her theatrical shorts series would end in 1939. In her series later years, Boop's shorts have increasingly featured other characters as the focus instead of herself, and here we have two shorts that, frankly, aren't an exception in that regard. But they do both, at least, bring back some of that jazzy, swingy vibe that existed in older Boop shorts. Is it enough to make them worth watching? Listen to find out!

Disney's Fantasia

Season 8 · Episode 181

Wednesday, January 28, 2026 • Duration 01:35:18

All of Disney's early film output was experimental, but besides perhaps Snow White itself, none were more so than Fantasia. Designed as an experience unto itself, with a road show and everything, Fantasia was a huge passion project for Walt, one he intended to last for years with new versions and all sorts of exciting things... but then, it bombed at the box office, not making an actual profit until decades later. Since then it's become much more revered, but even so, does this film with such a tumultuous history, one that some critics find condescending and pretentious, still hold up close to a century later? Listen to find out!
