  The Hunchback of Notre Dame II (feat. Ryan)

  Aug 12, 20261h 6mS8

  (Spoiler Section Length: 6min 13sec) When it comes to Disney animated sequels, there's an accepted canon when it comes to which ones are half-decent and which are the bottom of the barrel. In that canon, Return of Jafar is often considered the latter, but this podcast doesn't exactly agree with that opinion. What then of Hunchback II, which is also often considered among the worst? It's often derided for how different in tone it is from the original, for how boring the plot is and for how awful the animation is. Do we agree? Is it truly the worst of the worst? Let's find out!

  Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame (feat. Ryan)

  Jul 29, 20261h 49mS8

  (Spoiler Section Length: 10min 18sec) Of all the many Disney adaptations over the years, one of the most divisive is Hunchback of Notre Dame. Lauded by many for its darker tone compared to most Disney works but derided by others for Disney-ifying the source material with additions like the gargoyles or changes like the ending, it's a work whose reputation is hard to easily quantify. So what did we think? Let's find out!

  Shorts! Merrie Melodies: Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur (feat. Ryan)

  Jul 27, 202630 minS8

  Chuck Jones is given a lot of the blame for Daffy Duck's personality shifting over the years, and I don't think it's entirely fair to lay that all upon his shoulders. That said, he is PART of the equation, and we see some signs of what Daffy would become even in this very first cartoon directed by Jones that features him. So okay, sure, it's got historical value, but is it any good for a modern viewer? Let's find out!

  Episode #193

  Digimon Adventure 02: Hurricane Touchdown!!

  Jul 15, 202655 minS8

  (Spoiler Section Length 7min 20sec) Well we've watched the first two Digimon movies, we've watched the English Digimon Movie, so it only makes sense that we finally wrap around to watching the third Digimon film—which is actually the 3rd and 4th films, technically—so we can finish this whole Digimon saga off cleanly. And admittedly, this is the part of the English Digimon Movie that I was always most curious about, since it was the part that made the least sense and therefore seemed the most damaged by the heavy editing of the English film. So now that we've finally seen it... does it make more sense? And more importantly, is it any good? Let's find out!

  Shorts! Betty Boop: Musical Mountaineers

  Jul 10, 202617 minS8

  She's had a... well a sometimes-good run, but Betty Boop's time in the classic cartoon theatrical shorts era is coming to a close. In this episode we look at the final Boop cartoon that we'll be covering on the podcast, and talk a little about the remaining shorts in the series. And then we answer the question of if this is a decent way for Betty to go, and whether this or the shorts that come after are worth watching. Are they? Let's find out!
