PIRATES 2|| DEAD MANS CHEST/WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING? Jun 07, 2021

Tyler and guests Caroline Amer (@Carolineamerican producer/cofounder of Double Yay, London based comedian) and Sarah Price (Chicago based actor, writer and comedian) continue on their PIRATES journey and its pretty rocky. We start off by chatting all things pirates again including our all time fav pirates across any medium--no one asked for this but its vital info. Firstly, what is even happened in 2006? We can't bring our geriatric millennial selves to remember. Second of all, how does this film look cheaper but had a much bigger budget? WE HAVE QUESTIONS. While we don't love this sequel, we do love: the barnacle boys/sea life covered pirates, a new villain for no reason who has a suspect ponytail and the brilliance of Bootstrap Bill. Also Orlando Bloom is attractive but he cant get it, WE SAID WHAT WE SAID. And just so everyone knows, he is in fact an entirely different person/actor than Jude Law. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

101 DALMATIANS || IF SHE DOESN'T SCARE YOU NO EVIL THING WILL May 24, 2021

Tyler and guest Rae Gray (@heyraegray Chicago based Actor) take on 101 Dalmatians in honor of this Friday's release of CRUELLA. With arguably, the best opening credits of all time--this jazzy and terrifying classic still slaps. First off, we need to see the tax returns of Cruella De Vil--where are her funds coming from and can we get some? Also we are back in London because Disney loves a London aesthetic and so do we. Little did we know that in this film, Disney gave us the dating advice we never knew we needed: just calm down and marry the guy. Things of note: Nanny also voices MAD MADAM MIM SO WE ARE SOLD. And in case anyone was wondering and THIS IS NOT up for debate--Cruella De Vil is the HBIC, the legend of all legends, whose evil sidekick appears only in the form of her lime green cigarette smoke. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

CHEETAH GIRLS 2|| arguably the greatest DCOM sequel OF ALL TIME YALL May 17, 2021

Tyler and guest Imani Marcus (@mixingwithmani host of the hit bravo pod Mixing With Mani) sit down to chat all things CHEETAH GIRLS 2! From the dance sequences, the fashions of it all--this sequel gives up bop after bop! Honestly anything that has Raven as a lead, two members of 3LW and someone named Dorinda? SIGN ME RIGHT UP. Not only does this classic DCOM give us insanely unrealistic expectations about what is possible when it comes to traveling around the world for a music festival you barely auditioned for over the phone. But it also maybe convinced us that if we did travel to Spain over the summer, maybe we could have a fling with a Count from Barcelona too! It's truly a smash hit of a DCOM and the coordinating fashions slay us at every turn. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

TOY STORY 4|| this is what your heart looks like in the form of a Pixar film May 10, 2021

Tyler and guest Sarah Price (Chicago based Actor, Comedian and Writer) return to this edition of 'series with Sarah' where we recap the ending of the saga to end all sagas--TOY STORY 4. While we are still reeling from the emotional distress of this film, we are immediately won over by this incredible cast of toys. I mean did we maybe think this Forky character was the most expensive prank of all time being pulled by Pixar? Sure! But we ultimately see that it was Pixar's biggest flex of all time by getting us to care deeply about a spork. Forky operates from a place of full anxiety and we couldn't relate to him more if we tried. This film made us miss a lot of comforts of childhood--cubbies (remember cubbies?!), backpacks and scholastic book fairs at the library. So thank the Pixar gods that they gave us Ducky and Bunny to help fill that void in our adult hearts--we truly don't deserve them. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET || underrated and truly iconic, this film has it all! May 03, 2021

Tyler and guest Debo Balogun (@debo.balogun Chicago based actor and artist) sit down to chat all things Ralph Breaks the Internet! Y'all this film is so special and unbelievably detailed and truly underrated. This cast is beyond stacked with so many wonderful actors it's honestly unfair. Filled with hundreds of easter eggs and so much creativity, its mind-blowing that Disney is able to create such unique worlds and make them so accessible to their audiences. I mean listen, Sarah Silverman is a teeny race car driver in a video game? You can SIGN ME RIGHT UP. We also get ALL of the DISNEY PRINCESSES together having a sleepover in themed pajamas and it's honestly one of the most iconic scenes of all time. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN || the first one, TBH the only one Apr 19, 2021

Tyler and guests Caroline Amer (@carolineamerican London based Comedian, producer, cofounder of @double_yay) and Sarah Price (Chicago based Actor, Writer and Comedian) join forces for this epically long and epically epic tale. We gather her today to discuss this film and above anything else--OUR LOVE OF ALL THINGS PIRATES and gives us a great excuse to do pirate accents. Important thoughts include but aren't limited to: the import behind British court wigs, how I only know one joke and it happens to be pirate themed and how Geoffrey Rush is NEXT LEVEL. If we are being honest, this is basically just a sexy pirate dream of a series of sword fights, strung together by funny physical bits--and none of us are mad about it. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

HERCULES|| the Alan Menken bop to end all bops aka the best soundtrack ever Apr 12, 2021

Tyler and guest Emma Gruhl (@emmagruhl casting assistant) reunite to chat even more Alan Menken brilliance. And honestly, where do we even begin? This SOUNDTRACK, this SCORE, this CAST!! its true 90's perfection--Danny DeVito we love your work! If you ask us, we could not name more of a banger soundtrack and more of an epic heroine. Megara, voiced by the I C O N I C Susan Egan, is our dream Disney princess: badass, self assured, wears a purple dress and has an alto singing voice. She is so underrated and we make sure to give her all due credit. Also Zues and adult Hercules are HOT YALL and we love to see it. We also love to gush over our knowledge of Greek Mythology thanks to that one class we took college. Shout out to Mr. Menken for reminding us that we can go the distance and to Meg for teaching us that DID's (damsels in distress) can handle things themselves. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

PETER PAN || pure magic, pixie dust and the real mermaids of neverland Apr 05, 2021

Tyler and guest Nikki Blue (@ Chicago based resident AEA stage manager at The Goodman Theatre) sit down to chat about their all time fav Disney film. listen, first and foremost this film is PROBLEMATIC—so much of this film has us asking questions about how this was ever made. The highs are so high and the lows are so low. And yet, it is filled with pixie dust, some of the best and most classic animation in the entire canon, and the hottest fairy around. Also Peter Pan is a total narcissist, and is like the ex boyfriend we all try to forget—like how DARE call Wendy a dumb girl?! her bow is perfection, her sweet nightgown she wears as a dress, HER PERFECT CURLS?? ICONIC. Peter pan is secretly the worst, but we show up time and time again not for him but for our queens Nana, Tink and Wendy—and also smee. Never forget about smee. Magical music by Eric Backus.

HSM 2|| T as in Troy? no, T as in the most 2007 movie to ever 2007 Mar 29, 2021

Tyler and guest Steve Han (@steyonceknowles actor and comedian) return to chat all things High School Musical 2 and all the magic in entails. We at BDE are so blessed to be having this chat with TikTok's very own' CEO of High School musical on TikTok'--a one Steve Han-- to discuss this truly important DCOM in the Disney canon. Join us as we chat all things DCOMS, top songs from the HSM canon and the terrifying fashions of 2007--the short sleeve cardigan of it all is nearly too much too handle. We are fully immersed in the fan fair of summer at the iconic Lava Springs, the fake tanner of it all and we certianly aren't mad about it. This is the most shocking of all the HSM franchise--giving us dramatic solos on the greens of Lava Springs, Sharpay being FABULOUS and a supposed 5-star resort literally run and staffed by high schoolers. It shocks us, it makes us feel all the things and sets us up perfectly for the big budget blockbuster that is HSM3. Magical music by Eric Backus.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, THE LIVE ACTION ONE|| y'all if it's not baroque, don't fix it Mar 22, 2021

Tyler and guest Sarah Price (Chicago based Actor, Write and Comedian) continue their B&B series with this final installment, recapping the entirely unnecessary but visually stunning 2017 Live Action version. While this might be an episode of us airing our grievances, we are the first to admit that this cast is STACKED--Emma Thompson as a TEA POT?? sign us right up. Let it be known that it's not Emma Watson's fault that she was cast to fill the shoes of the iconic Paige O'Hara, nor is it Dan Stevens fault that his wig once he transforms is truly unacceptable. Its. Not. Their. Faults. And yet we MUST discuss these and many other atrocities committed by this new version. But who is the shining light you ask, aside from these amazing supporting characters and actors, and the one true star of this film? JOSH GAD. its always Josh Gad. And of course Alan Menken. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

PrinCESS (of Genovia) Diaries 2|| the sequel that nobody needed but we will gladly receive Mar 15, 2021

Tyler and guest Halley Mayo (Arkansas based Actor) are back to break down this far too long, and honestly confusing, but charming sequel. Listen, while this isn't QUITE as iconic as the original we are still gifted by the presence of Dame Julie Andrews and that's truly all we need. We have questions about the plot, the location of Genovia, who donated these community theatre set pieces and why she doesn't marry Andrew --but the epic pajama party does make up for a lot of our confusion. And Chris Pine--we always love a Chris Pine moment, even though he's not our Disney Chris of choice. Also any film that includes Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson will forever hold a very special place in our hearts. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

ZENON: GIRL OF THE 21 CENTURY|| zoom zoom zoom, this DCOM makes our hearts go boom boom! Mar 08, 2021

Tyler and guests Hannah (@hannahabrown actor, writer and host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Raven (@mainlybravo host of Bitch Is Better) join forces to tackle this DCOM smash hit. I mean are we fans of Zenon the character —hard pass, but are we fans of the generic space vibes, RAVEN SYMONE and the band Microbe?! ABSOLUTELY. Join us as we chat space, the jewel tone color palate of space clothing trends and all things DCOM with a dash of Bravo of course! Magical music by Eric Backus.

POCAHONTAS||one of the most incredible scores set to some of the best animation ever! Mar 01, 2021

Tyler and guest Miranda Lee (@themagicalmiranda magical content creator and YouTuber) recap one of the most underrated Princess films in the Disney Canon. While we have A LOT of questions about this film, we can absolutely celebrate the artistry behind the animation and the Alan Menken brilliance behind the score. This film has not one, BUT TWO, power ballads from our title character who is wise, brave and badass. Do I listen to these songs as pump up songs on a weekly basis? INDEED. Not only is the score epic, it is filled with stunning and important lyrics against the back drop of some of the most incredible animation ever. And through all of this we are given some of the best physical bits EVER from the teeny pug Percy and the biscuit loving Meeko. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

GUARDIANS OF THE FREAKING GALAXY|| just the best movie with the greatest soundtrack EVER Feb 22, 2021

Tyler and guest Heather Peggs (@peggsdodisney Disney Creator) chat their favorite Marvel movie, the one and only GOTG. Aside from our mutual love of STARLORD and Chris Pratt, this movie has it all--Epic fight scenes, bop after bop in its soundtrack and a cast that is truly OUT OF THIS WORLD. Bradley Cooper is the coolest raccoon ever, Zoe Saldana can literally do no wrong and don't even get us started on GROOT. Of course this film is epic, but we also gush over how it ties so many marvel movies together and to us, really kicked off Marvel defining itself through comedy and a new lens. Did we mention its SO FUNNY? Looking at you Dave Bautista! This rag tag crew really are the Guardians we need and deserve--certainly if a battle ends in a dance off with Chris Pratt. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME|| this is a dark & twisted Alan Menken ride YALL Feb 15, 2021

Tyler and guest Emma Gruhl (@emmagruhl Chicago based Casting Associate) discuss one of her favorite Disney films and one that Tyler hadn’t seen in a decade. I mean of course if it’s Alan Menken, I’M IN. But this is a dark and harrowing tale YALL. The voice acting—TOP NOTCH, the cast—ABSOLUTELY STACKED, the score terrifying and amazing. And yet we still can’t get over how horrible Frollo (Frollo baggins, as referred to in this episode) is and his zealot like energy. Aside his insanity, we get Demi Moore and Kevin Kline falling in love, we get comedic relief in gargoyle form and the Covid anthem OUT THERE—and we love to see it. Magical music by Eric Backus

BDE X DRUNK DISNEY = V D A Y EDITION|| lets chat ICONIC disney couples YALL! Feb 08, 2021

Tyler and guests Helen Joo Lee (@helenjoolee actor, comedian and former CM at Disneyland) and Sarah Price (Chicago based actor, comedian and writer) give you the revamp of BDExDD to talk all things Disney Couples. We get drunk, we place disney couples into Year Book adjacent categories, we are inappropriate--and probs no one is surprised. We cuddle up with our beverages with choice, in honor of all things valentines day, to chat all about which Disney Couples are least likely to succeed, best over all and maybe those that could have done better. Are Lumiere and Cogsworth the most iconic inanimate couple? Only time will tell. Do I tirade again about why I think Ariel is reckless and why Eric could have done better--OBVIOUSLY. So grab a glass of bubbles, your fav chocolates and join us as we talk about nothing and so many inappropriate things all at the same time. Magical music by Eric Backus.

THE PRINCESS DIARIES|| Anne Hathaway + DAME JULIE ANDREWS + Mandy Moore --SHUT UP! Feb 01, 2021

Tyler and guest Halley Mayo (Arkansas based actor) connect over one of their favorite Princess flicks to reminisce about all things early 2000's. Not only did we see this movie TOGETHER IN THEATRES, it's one that we love to quote and also are unclear as to why this story line wasn't our lives? I mean how dare we not be surprised by a visit from DAME JULIE ANDREWS and be told we were princesses-it's honestly rude. This iconic film has everything we could ask for in an early 2001 smash hit: JULIE FREAKING ANDREWS PLAYING A QUEEN, Anne Hathaway giving the performance of her career while living in an old fire station, a next level makeover sequence, the cutest cat and of course the prince-CESS OF GENOVIA. There are physical bits, there is glamour and MANDY MOORE YALL--it's truly a moment. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

THE PARENT TRAP||1998--LINDSAY LOHAN is the star we never deserved Jan 25, 2021

Tyler and guest Bryce Gangel (@bryce.gangel LA based actor) recap all of our fav tween summer camp life switcheroo-- the one and only THE PARENT TRAP, 1998. Y'all this movie takes us wayyyyyy back and fills us with so many summer camp memories--TIE DYE GIRL, ear piercings, fencing duels, poker tournaments, PRANKS etc etc. As if the the CAMP of it all wasn't enough, LINDSAY FREAKING LOHAN plays two teeny twins and honestly where is her Oscar? It's a truly revelatory performance. I'll say it--this was a career defining performance and the world wasn't prepared. On top of that, you're going to give us Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson as estranged parents?! I C O N I C. 1998 Dennis Q. can get it YALL and Natasha Richardson was one of the most elegant, charming actresses of all time. We are forever indebted to queen Nancy Myers for this 90's film that is nothing short of pure magic. Magical music by Eric Backus.

MOANA|| show us a more epic heroine with cuter animal sidekicks and better hair= IMPOSSIBLE Jan 18, 2021

Tyler and guest Mary Holland (@maryhollandaise Happiest Season, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Wild Horses) recap this absolutely perfect film. Next level animation with a next level score--Moana is truly one of a kind in the Disney Canon. Accompanied by some of the greatest and most epic Disney songs of all time, Disney tells us a story that is filled with excellent writing and causes us to uncontrollably sob way too many times. Also Moana's hair animation deserved an Oscar. Also Also heihei the chicken and pua the pig are a dream team of animal sidekicks too pure for this world. This film is perfect for so many reasons, but any film that shows off Dwayne Johnson so brilliantly is ICONIC in my eyes. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

TOY STORY 2|| the one where we all fall in love with Joan Cusack Jan 11, 2021

Tyler and pod fav Sarah Price (Chicago based actor, writer and comedian) continue in their TOY STORY canon journey with Tyler's personal fav of the four--TOY STORY 2. We welcome you once again to the Toy Story saga recap that you didn't ask for and maybe never knew you needed as we give you all the most vital info and the hottest of takes: we chat space, we chat astronomy vs. astrology, we chat crystals and how our mom jeans of 2020 not only make us more productive but they give us that coveted Pixar mom butt. But most importantly, in this film we meet our fave midwestern cowgirl--the one and only JOAN CUSACK. She yodels, she has Bullseye the Horse as a sidekick, she BREAKS OUR HEARTS with her backstory--what more could we ask for? Oh and Buzz FREAKING Lightyear falls for her?! I mean come on--she's truly the dream. How each of these installments are literally perfection, we will never know but we again are gifted with all of the classic hijinks, physical bits and pulls at our heart strings in ways that only Pixar can. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

THE LIZZIE MCGUIRE MOVIE|| sing to us Paolo! Jan 04, 2021

Tyler kicks off 2021 with guests Hannah Brown(@hannahabrown LA based actor, writer and host of the hit pod Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Clayton Joyner (@cajoyne Chicago based actor and member of the casting community) to recap this iconic DCOM classic. There are so many things to note here, but most glaringly is THE LOW RISE BOOTCUT JEANS OF IT ALL. Also cartoon lizzie is so unnecessary and the idea of wearing platform flip-flops at the airport makes us nearly vomit. And y'all in case you forgot--GORDO IS HOT, WE SAID WHAT WE SAID. Truly we just always want an excuse to dream about an escape to Rome and how sexy it would be (please someone take us to a teeny Italian village and let us live out our pasta dreams). Honestly, the plot is two steps away from 'Taken' starring Liam Neeson but we are still here for it. And the true star of this film, aside from the crop tops and overuse of lime green clothing, is Melina --Matt's BFF and truly the baddest B around. Magical music by Eric Backus.

THE SANTA CLAUSE|| seeing isn’t believing, believing is seeing. Dec 28, 2020

Tyler and guest Miranda Lee (@themagicalmiranda digital creator, youtuber and owner of @planthemagic) round out the holiday season with this 90’s classic. Miranda is a festive queen and we love to see how she goes all in for the holidays, including her love of this film! It’s important to note that TIM ALLEN can get it, especially mid-90’s Tim Allen. Also remember car phones? ..just us? We have great respect for the reads of Scott Calvin directed at Neil, because Neil has GOT TO GO. And we additionally have major love for Bernard and Judy, as they are the baddest elves up at the North Pole and the unsung heroes of this flick. Truly the 90’s of it all in this films aesthetic is ever so pleasing and we love revisiting those days of yore. Happy holidays y’all! Magical music by Eric Backus.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS|| the holiday sequel we didn't ask for but definitely the one that we deserved Dec 21, 2020

Tyler and guest Sarah Price (Chicago based actor and comedian) are back to chat all things B & B holiday version. We are fully in the festive spirit as we discuss this holiday off shoot of our fav disney classic. We have thoughts and questions a plenty: why Adam is so much hotter in this version than in the original, how Bernadette Peters and Haley Joel Osment ended up in the same holiday classic, how the original cast graced us with their presence and talent on an Non Alan Menken composed romp. Also should be noted that this cast is stacked for absolutely no reason--looking at you SIR TIM CURRY--but we truly love to see this holiday mess of a film. We also would love to know why Forte prefers to be an organ that can't move, why Fife looks like he was animated to be in a Saturday morning Warner Brothers cartoon, and how can we achieve the level of magical Christmas shade of Angelique. Magical Music but Eric Backus.

MUPPETS CHRISTMAS CAROL || is there literally any other version of Christmas carol? no, no there's not. Dec 14, 2020

Tyler and guest Zach Villa (@zachvilla AHS 1984) spend an hour doing impressions of muppets and gushing over the brilliance of Michael Caine, with absolutely no regrets. Muppets and Christmas and Charles Dickens and an iconic British actor--what else is there to say? We share all of our love for the muppets, the beautifully decorated sound stage AKA the streets of Dickensian London and how truly harrowing this tale is. If anyone can present evidence of a better and more heartfelt performance to a puppet than MICHAEL FREAKING CAINE in this film, we would be shock and awed. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS|| JTT and a holiday rom com? SIGN US RIGHT UP! Dec 07, 2020

Tyler and guest Hannah brown (@hannahabrown LA based Actor, Writer and pod host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown and You Know You Love Us) live out our 90's JTT fantasies via this classic holiday cross country romp. We are insufferably festive and no one can stop us as we celebrate this ICONIC JTT film-- not only is JTT a worldly man in the form of an child star, Jessica Biel is more stunning and confident than we have ever been in our entire lives. This film has it all: the beepers of yore, JTT in a Santa suit, a gross antagonist named Eddie--Also remember PAPER ROAD MAPS?? We miss taking road trips with paper maps a la The Goofy Movie. This is a holiday classic with a sound track that slaps and we fa la freaking la love to see it! Magical music by Eric Backus.

SNOW WHITE|| high collars and higher drama y'all! Dec 03, 2020

Tyler and Guest Clayton Joyner (@cajoyne Chicago based artist) go alllllll the way to back to the very beginning with the first feature length Disney film ever! Listen, this is not necessarily our fav disney princess flick, BUT Snow White can rock a cape like no one's business. This is a TALE AS OLD AS TIME YALL: the Evil Queen is worried about her hotness and youth being threatened by a pretty young princess--it's basically the plot of every season of Housewives EVER. Some important things of note: tan small-heeled character shoes do no one any damn favors, the prince just sneaks up on snow and ruins her day AND SONG when she's just trying to sing to her wishing well, the beautiful gems of the mine comfort us it ways we will never understand, and NO ONE can serve a cape and a sensible shriek like our girl Snow. Let's be honest-- this film is just a string of extended dance party montages and we aren't mad about that. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

HOME ALONE||now a disney entity, this film is a freaking holiday dream come true Nov 30, 2020

Tyler and guest Will Alan (@wellthatwentwill LA based actor and playwright) tackle this actual perfect holiday classic. We are so excited to welcome back our resident sports and Home Alone expert to chat about his favorite film of all time. Not only did Will recreate all of these traps as a child, he knows everything about this film and shares all of his knowledge to start off the holiday season right! We connect over our airport anxiety, how Mitch Murphy is the unsung hero of the film and how much Uncle Frank sucks. Sure the timeline is questionable, the idea that they could ever make an international flight at O'hare from a northern Chicago suburb in 45 minutes is in fact impossible-- but none of that matters because this is still one of the greatest movies of all time! Catherine O'Hara is basically the Meryl Streep of comedy, John Williams is a composer that none of us are worthy of and this hijinks filled film is truly nothing short of pure magic. Magical music by Eric Backus.

TOY STORY|| lets take it back to the beginning y'all where nostalgia reigns and RANDY NEWMAN IS KING Nov 16, 2020

Tyler and returning guest star co-host Sarah Price (Chicago based actor and comedian) begin their TOY STORY journey with original smash hit that shaped our millennial childhoods in the 90's. Not only is this truly a cornerstone of modern animation, it has a literal PERFECT cast led by America's dads--Tim Allen and Tom Hanks. Things of note: Buzz Lightyear can get it, Randy Newman creates one of the most simple and iconic scores of all time, and the little green guys are in a cult but we still love them. Ultimately all we really want as humans is to be take to PIZZA PLANET and to be able to overcome the fear of being replaced in all aspects of our lives OKAY?! We will forever treasure this iconic Pixar classic--stay tuned for the rest of our TOY STORY SERIES! Magical Music by Eric Backus.

BOLT|| Miley Cyrus leads this banger of an underrated film with a stellar cast Nov 09, 2020

Tyler and guest Keira Fromm (@keirafromm Chicago based director) discuss a movie that makes us both weep over the cuteness of a puppy. I mean John Travolta is the cutest dog we've ever seen, Susie Essman as MITTENS the alley cat is truly unmatched and Mark Walton as Rhino the Hamster gives an honestly Oscar worthy performance. Show us a film that gives you more hamster hijinks, badass alley cat vibes and deals with exploitation of animals in Hollywood--all while wrapped in a Truman Show esthetic-- THERE ARE NONE I SAY. Magical music by Eric Backus.

THOR:RAGNAROK|| PART TWO--it's still perfect + Hulk + Jeff Goldblum + Tessa Thompson Nov 05, 2020

Tyler and guest Halley Mayo (Arkansas based actor) and Grant Hockenbrough (@granthock LA based actor) finish our two part series highlighting this practically perfect film. We get Hela in full force, JEFF FREAKING GOLDBLUM, Tessa Thompson is hot AF and HULK is there with a great story arc to round everything out. Idris Elba is there to make us fall in love, Odin makes us cry, Loki is a star and Skurge + Korg are some of the best characters in the MCU--we said what we said. This film is a damn delight, start to freaking finish and Thor has a great butt, so there's also that. Magical Music by Erik Backus.

THOR: RAGNAROK|| honestly its perfect--so is Chris Hemsworth, so is Cate Blanchett Nov 02, 2020

Tyler and guests Halley Mayo (Arkansas based actor) and Grant Hockenbrough (@granthock LA based actor) tackle one of arguably the best films in the MCU in a two part series. Hemsworth is NEXT LEVEL HOT (I mean duh), Cate Blanchett as Hela is UNREAL and Taika Waititi is so talented its insane. I mean like we knew Hemsworth was hot, but like it's not fair that he's this funny too okay. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

TARZAN|| PHIL COLLINS. GLENN CLOSE. ROSIE O'DONNELL is a tiny gorilla. Oct 29, 2020

Tyler and guest Rae Gray (@heyraegray Chicago based actor) finally get to connect over their mutual love of Phil Collins and their love of this film. We confirm that Rae is in fact Ferris Bueller, how we both wish we could be turn invisible, but MORE IMPORTANTLY how this soundtrack truly is next level. GLENN CLOSE is in Tarzan y'all and it's brilliant. Tarzan can get it, Turk is ICONIC and Minnie Driver as Jane is honestly the vocal performance we all need. We Stan this film and love that it questions why people are threatened by things that are different than them all set to a score that makes us weep every time. Magical music by Eric Backus.

BDEXDRUNK DISNEY--a mashup villainous countdown that you never wanted and never knew you needed. Happy spooky season witches! Oct 19, 2020

Tyler and guests Helen Joo Lee (@helenjoolee actor, comedian and former CM at Disneyland) and Sarah Price (Chicago based actor, writer and comedian) team up to create the most insane and inappropriate thing to ever hit BDE--hard to imagine but true. We sat down with our adult beverages of choice, in honor of spooky season, to countdown our fav disney villains! We have categories, scoring systems and of course get more and more off topic as the villain themed cocktails continue. Think Drunk History but Disney...and a rankin system. Do I mispronounce a famous Shakespeare characters name at least 6 times with utmost passion and certainty that I am pronouncing it correctly? Yes, I do. Do we have hot takes on who is number one--the one true villain to rule them all? yes, of course duh. Hilarity ensues and we finally, after 2 hours of drinking, crown who we deem to be the baddest of them all. Magical music by Eric Backus.

MAGIC MAKERS!|| Adriana of @bibbidibobbidi_broke creates so much magic and amazing creative content! Oct 15, 2020

Tyler and Guest Adriana (@bibbidibobbidi_broke Disney Blogger and Digital Creator) creates amazing edits, the best and most creative looks and made me laugh nonstop! We chat all things Star Wars, our mutual love of Kylo Ren and how we both think Ariel is a mess. Magical music by Eric Backus.

SPACE JAM|| not technically disney canon but is too epic to be overlooked Oct 12, 2020

Tyler and guest Behzad Dabu (@behsaddabu LA based actor, writer, producer and activist-How to Get Away with Murder, The Chi, Disney's The Lion Guard) recap the undeniably iconic 1990s classic SPACE JAM. Join us on this wild journey--my phone rings, I don't know anything about basketball and Behzad is an actual expert and teaches me all of the basketball sports things. The soundtrack is stellar, Lola Bunny is all of the goals and the fact that Michael Jordan and Bill Murray made a movie about basketball is honestly one of the greatest achievements in cinematic history. Magical Music by Eric Backus.

THE RESCUERS|| a tiny mouse UN and BOB EFFING NEWHART?! Sign us right up Oct 08, 2020

Tyler and guest Sarah Price (@thepriceisprobablymistaken Chicago based actor and comedian) discuss the joy of this unsung Disney classic. The insanity of cutest that is this film is honestly overwhelming: penny the precious child, a freaking mouse UNITED NATIONS aka the rescue aid society, amazing physical bits and BOB NEWHART voicing a teeny mouse JANITOR. we also get to give the iconic MADAME MEDUSA her due—anyone who wears top AND bottom lashes IN A SWAMP deserves so much credit + she’s actually insane. Magical music by Eric Backus.

HOCUS POCUS y'all!!|| let's get witchy with the incredibly iconic Sanderson sisters! Oct 05, 2020

Kicking off spoooooky month on BDE---Tyler and guests Hannah brown (@hannahabrown LA based actor and pod host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown and You Know You Love Us with Hannah Brown and Tyler Meredith) and Clayton Joyner (@cajoyne Chicago based actor and casting assistant) take things to the spookiest of spooky levels with this iconic 1990's CLASSC FILM. THIS CAST. THE WITCHY INSANITY. we. are. here. for. all. of. it YALL. We discuss where in fact these dead men are that the Sanderson sisters are collecting said 'dead man's toes from' ? like who is the man, who's toes are these y'all? We bond of our love for a sensible Craft aesthetic and how this movie is a journey we enjoy best sans others but plus a PSL. We also unlock the secret to the film, which is that these witches are hot and only want to be hotter AKA the entire premise and cast of RHONY and honestly, we can relate.
