What started as a simple idea grew into something we’re incredibly proud of, thanks in large part to all of you who listened, shared, and kept coming back. Over time, it’s become harder…
“This… is Berk.” We’re rewatching How to Train Your Dragon (2010), talking first flights, forbidden friendships, and why this movie still hits like a fireball to the heart.

It’s the finale of our Holly Jolly Jingle Jangle Extravaganza! We’re closing out the season by diving into The Christmas Chronicles , rating the holiday hijinks, debating Kurt Russell’s extremely specific Santa energy, and asking the big question: does this one earn a spot on the annual rewatch list—or belong back on the shelf until next December?

In this week’s episode, we unwrap The Nutcracker and the Four Realms —and, well… let’s just say the wrapping paper was the best part.

This week, we’re carving into Free Birds (2013), the animated Thanksgiving oddity that sends two turkeys back in time to rewrite holiday history.

This week we crack open Newsies (1992), the Disney musical that raised an entire generation on the power of child labor… but make it jazz hands. We revisit Christian Bale’s “please don’t make me sing” era, the aggressively earnest choreography, and the movie’s bizarre journey from box-office flop to nostalgic comfort blanket. Extra! Extra!
