ALICE IN WONDERLAND||a psychedelic journey that’s both parts very stressful and very lovely Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

Tyler and guest Halley Mayo (LA based actor) go way back in the Disney cannon to take the journey of the psychedelic trip that is Alice in Wonderland. We break down the hard hitting topics including: why Tweedle Dee/Dumb are terrifying, how the flowers are basically the cast of RHONY, we all should unbirthdays and how yes, that tea party was the “stupidest party” of all time (Alice’s words not ours). We also break down the “Disney fever dream 5” —where older Disney films have like 5 minutes left and have to wrap up an entire plot and introduce the villain AND WE LOVE TO SEE IT. Most importantly we learned not to fall asleep during history lessons because then sh*t is gonna get weird. Magical music by Eric Backus.

Show notes

Tyler and Guests Nik Whitcomb (@nikwizzle host of The Come Up with Nik Whitcomb) and Michael Turrentine (@mturrentine5 host of How's Your Heart) swoon over this perfect Pixar film. Set to a stunning score, we cry at WALL-E's hand gestures, his LOVE OF HELLO DOLLY and his courtship with EEEVVVAAAA. This beautiful film makes us question 'what if we are all doing the best we can with the garbage we have been dealt'? This sweet sweet garbage compactor teaches use to find beauty in everything no matter how small, and reminds us not only to survive--but to truly live. Magical music by Eric Backus.

This classic Disney film has it all—great physical bits, folksy tunes, a villain and villainous sidekick to beat all others and the most beautiful female fox ever. We talk class systems, we talk taxes, we talk the cutest bunny and turtle of all time—and how FYI, Robin Hood is a major hottie. Magical music by Eric Backus.

TANGLED||it is perfection-alan menken is our hero and Flynn Rider can save us from a tower ANY DAY. Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

Tyler Meredith and guest Clayton Joyner (@cajoyne actor and casting assistant in Chicago) recap our personal fav Disney princess film of the last 10 years. Flynn Rider is A BABE, mother gothel is a narcissistic manipulator, and the animal sidekick work in this banger is truly top tier. Most importantly, ALAN MENKEN does it again with a score that just won't quit and Mandy Moore gives the performance of her career IMOP. We discuss hot button issues like would we ever want hair that long and could we maintain it and the the answer is honestly WE COULD NEVER but we wish. This film makes any day truly the BEST. DAY. EVER!

This week we explore how we miss the days of going to school only so we could anticipate going on holiday breaks, we can finally stop talking about EJ, we miss theatre parties, we miss standing in theatre lobbies--WE. MISS. THEATRE. Tag along as we chat about how I longed for a Friendsgiving, Ashlyn shows us how she+gen z CAN HAVE IT ALL, we continue to make Music Man references and we feel no shame, how we most techs do not consist of trading jewels and having visions and relocating entire productions the day before opening. And how the ideal end to this amazing series is topped with bow in the form of a big red TAP SOLO AND WE LOVE TO SEE IT. Magical music by Eric Backus.

A BUGS LIFE||this underrated Pixar gem reminds us- we can accomplish great things no matter our size Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

Tyler and guest Greg Geffrard (@gregarious86 Chicago based actor, poet and educator) recap this poignant tale of the great things we can accomplish when we work together-no matter how small we are or think we might be. We have terrifying grasshoppers, we have circus bugs and a 90s stacked cast. David Hyde Pierce is a walking stick in a traveling bug circus and nothing has ever felt so right. Pixar perfectly weaves amazing physical comedy and deeper messages to make this beautifully animated film an often forgotten smash. Magical music by Eric Backus.
