534 – Disneyland Handcrafted, The Moment, The Perfect Neighbor
Feb 05, 2026
Show notes
This week, David continues what he insists is his second of seven consecutive weeks on the podcast, and it turns out it’s because he’s on book leave. After talking about Heater Rivalry again because you wrote in about it, three of the hosts discuss Disneyland Handcrafted a new collection of documentary footage available on Disney Plus and YouTube. Then, Da7e saw the Charli XCX movie The Moment and since it’s a mockumentary it kind of fits with the topic (enough for a mini segment) before they all jump into Oscar doc frontrunner The Perfect Neighbor, which is on Netflix right now.
Because of the nature of documentaries and this podcast, we assume you know Walt Dinsney succeeded in making Disneyland, Charli XCX released an album called brat in 2024, and The Perfect Neighbor includes a shooting and arrest as viewed through police body cam footage. We don’t think these are spoilers.
533 – Sundance Report 2026, Heated Rivalry Conclusion, The Secret Agent
Jan 29, 2026
Show notes
This week, David begins what he claimed was seven consecutive weeks on the podcast by giving an overview of what he saw at the final Park City Sundance. He mentions Closure, I Want Your Sex, The Invite, The Shitheads, Rachel Lambert’s Carousel, Zi, Josephine and The History of Concrete (and didn’t seem to like too much). Then, Da7e did his gay hockey homework and is going to treat Katey’s recommendations on the show much more seriously in the future. Finally, the group dives into THE SECRET AGENT after debating if people can actually still see it in theater.
A Chat with Katey and Da7e
Jan 22, 2026
Show notes
This week, Katey and Da7e were the only hosts who could make it to the war room, so instead of doing a traditional episode, the two talk about how there’s some good television out there! Da7e finally started Heated Rivalry (Katey has seen it all), and Katey tries to explain why this gay hockey show hooks people. Then, Da7e talks about a horror book he read, and by the by the two start talking about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms on HBO and The Pitt season 2 on…oh shit, are we just watching HBO?. Finally, Katey asks what’s up with this 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and Da7e explains the first half of the movie currently in theaters trying to bait everyone into watching the second half.
We’re back at it again, ranking our favorite movies of last year in one long podcast! This year, we even beat David’s video countdown by about a week, so we’re historically ahead of schedule. Below you will find this year’s format with timestamps for when we discuss a particular entry (Da7e tried to make it so the movies were only discussed during their highest placement). We can’t help but make hints about The Bone Temple and clarify if Katey Rich was invited to an awards dinner or not along the way.

Dec 03, 2025
Show notes
This week, we have replaced a still-absent David with Ben Hosley from the Blank Check podcast and producer/creator of the Slow Xmas music project or “bit” that we also discuss on this episode.
If you want to buy a vinyl copy of SLOW XMAS 5 head to madebymutant.com
You can also buy it digitally at outlets like Bandcamp!
Ben also saw (pun not intended) the Chainsaw Man movie and informs Katey, Da7e, and Patches about this anime hit that beat out Bugonia at the box office when it was released. Then, your three regular co-hosts talk about Hamnet and if their hearts were ripped out of their bodies by pure emotion or not. We talk about the end, I guess, but even the director Chloe Zhao says this movie can’t be spoiled.

For a mini-segment, Patches is anticipating another AVATAR movie this year and is wondering if that kind of blockbuster motion-capture movie can be replicated after James Cameron is done. Finally, the three members of the podcast who liked Bugonia the most take advantage of David Ehrlich’s absence to talk about what they liked about it.
