  • Summary

  • Here for the '80s & '90s kids who still long for the safe, spooky glow of the TV screen in a dark room, Kalyn Andrews and Christian Baxter Mott take a nostalgic look at the grittier side of the children's entertainment that ruled our adolescence and moulded our generation. Our show features every-other-weekly discussions ranging from movie nights and season-long binges, to spooky specials of shows and other traumas... (ahem, memories). So, grab your flashlights and join us as we go searching for and researching what exactly it was that happened to us in the dark all those many moons ago. Indulge the collective nostalgia and follow us on Instagram and Facebook @thatsprettydarkpodcast. Tell us about your childhood experience, frightful or otherwise, at thatsprettydarkpodcast@gmail.com.

    Haunted islands, dreadful pennies, and idiotic scheming… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark!

    A Big and Loud villain, misremembered footprints, and the horrors of the Hayes Code… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids to unravel some of Hollywood’s best and brightest landmarks…and its darker chapters of censorship, racial tension, and child-star trauma. Laughing their way through one of the wittiest scripts they’ve discussed yet, they’ll explore how its allegories and core themes all point back to the importance of inspiration, humanity’s shared artistic experiences, and the collective power, strength, and unity that comes from creating art for art’s sake.

    Backlot kitties, Gene Kelly, and studio-executive dysfunction… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids as they swing into the 1930s (by way of 1997) to understand the storied studio history and production lore that brought this musical mainstay into existence. Learn with them how, while times at Turner Feature Animation were tough, a 28-year-old director pulled off the impossible with the help of a talented team of animators-turned-storytellers, a cast list for the ages, and Randy Newman.
