Recapping and reviewing all timer The Lion King. Special guest Timmy Vernon helps us break it all down in pretty minute detail (not sorry). Is this movie in everyone's Disney top five all time? (yes). Does this pod run longer than the run time ...

Recapping and reviewing gen alpha (yikes) favorite Moanaaa. Returning champion Adam helps us break down the good, the bad, and the dangers of over-harvesting coconuts and the potential contributions to climate change. Is this movie mainly targe...

Recapping and reviewing the 2000 cult classic The Emperor's New Groove. No idea if everyone loves this movie as much as we do or as much as new guest start Maddie loves Kronk. Did we watch this late into our teens? (yes). Is Sting somehow invol...

Recapping and reviewing the 1989 classic The Little Mermaid. We are back baby with our season 3 (though not The OC's for obvious reasons), switching tacks to review some of the old greats! Not surprising since nostalgia is one of the greatest f...

Recapping episode 24 of season 2 of The O.C.. It's a family affair as cousin Natalie joins us for the JAM PACKED season 2 finale (and our farewell to this series as we all know it only goes downhill from here). Kelly Rowan and Peter Gallagher e...

Recapping episode 23 of season 2 of The O.C.. Surf industry veteran Adam joins us for the penultimate episode of the season! Kirsten and Sandy deal with the aftermath of her shockingly not fatal car accident while being completely unaware of wh...

Recapping episode 22 of season 2 of The O.C.. Power guest Ellen returns for the second time this season (much to our surprise) to breakdown our next episode (and the merits of the series' storytelling capabilities). Kirsten is SPIRALING, Sandy ...

Recapping episode 21 of season 2 of The O.C.. We tackle one of the more serious episodes (at least in part) with returning champion Nickel! Bienvenido a Miami as Sandy, Seth, and Ryan visit the Nana. Seth's superfluous storyline is overshadowed...

Recapping episode 20 of season 2 of The O.C.. Finally adhering to a legitimate schedule, we return with guest star Billy lending his expertise on 2000s mens fashion, high school parties for cool teens, and what exactly Zach is trying to do with...

Recapping episode 19 of season 2 of The O.C.. Buckle up for the last gasp of season 2. Kirsten continues her petty parade (read: Carter crush), Lance actually seems not terrible and bonds with Julie, and Marissa inserts herself unneces...

Recapping episode 18 of season 2 of The O.C.. A fun episode as we are now firmly in the last act of the season! Trey's refusal to admit he needs help getting his new life started leads to some friction with Ryan and hijinks ensue around this an...

Recapping episode 17 of season 2 of The O.C.. We are back with what feels like a set up episode for the remainder of the season. *New character/actor alert* as Ryan's loose cannon older brother Trey literally kicks and pushes himself into the p...

Recapping episode 16 of season 2 of The O.C.. After an unplanned break for the holidays (sure!) we are back with another mostly lighthearted O.C. classic ep. Marissa becomes relevant again, Ryan gets a little more pep in his step, Sandy and Jul...

Recapping episode 15 of season 2 of The O.C.. An instant classic as we FINALLY get the gang all back together for a full episode that is honestly also kind of random, but still great. The Sandy and Kirsten stuff takes another twist as Carter an...

Recapping episode 14 of season 2 of The O.C.. We FINALLY say good riddance to this season's B team by axing both Lindsay and Rebecca in one cleansing episode that gets us ready for the remainder of the season. Seth and Summer finally fully circ...

Recapping episode 13 of season 2 of The O.C.. This episode has everything: Ryan in the middle of someone else's family drama, Summer / Seth / Zach triangle, classic Julie behavior, uninspired Marissa performance, the ongoing Sandy and Kirsten r...

Recapping episode 12 of season 2 of The O.C.. We are joined by a special guest (!!!) as we watch Sandy continue to spectacularly bungle the Rebecca situation. Ryan and Lindsay still could not be more boring, and the meta comic book pitch in San...

Recapping episode 11 of season 2 of The O.C.. In a truly baffling turn for his character, Sandy tries to hide Rebecca's presence from Kirsten (unsuccessfully), thus beginning their relationship spiral that is the second half of the season. We a...

Recapping episode 10 of season 2 of The O.C.. In this clear transition episode from phase 1 to phase 2 of the season the Sandy / Rebeccaaa storyline kicks off, the writers are still forcing the Marissa / Alex burgeoning relationship (?), along ...

Recapping episode 9 of season 2 of The O.C.. Summer is over! Join us as we bounce back from last episode's snoozefest. There are dueling "nights out" between the girls and the guys and drama ensues, the parents aren't really a factor, and we ge...

Recapping episode 8 of season 2 of The O.C.. Join us as we muddle our way through this episode, just like its plot. Randomly unclear motivations and feelings from Sandy and Kirsten confuse all of us, and the boys are in trouble for doing teenag...

Recapping episode 7 of season 2 of The O.C.. We FINALLY get a (mostly) believable range of emotions from Marissa as we say good riddance to Jimmy (sadly not for forever), and everyone else is just kind of along for the ride, including poor DJ. ...

Recapping episode 6 of season 2 of The O.C.. We're back for another classic episode where the bubbling Caleb drama finally boils over in spectacular fashion. All of the adults look bad this ep, with the kids as the saving grace. We also briefly...

Recapping episode 5 of season 2 of The O.C.. Marissa impresses us with her party planning abilities while the kids plots are kind of more of the same? We finally get the Caleb secret reveal / the reason we have been forced to suffer through Lin...

Recapping episode 4 of season 2 of The O.C.. We are back at the Bait Shop for another (better) music centric episode around the Killers! Stuff is still percolating with Caleb that we can barely care about and we are fully out of Lindsay at this...
