"Legend has it, in the mystic land of Prydain, there was a podcast so cruel and so evil that even the gods feared it." Welcome to the depths of the Disney vault for a screening of the black sheep of their classic animated library, 1985's "The Black Cauldron." On a quest for podcast glory, two contestants go head-to-head, answering questions about Disney history, the naming of cats, Jeffery Katzenberg's taste in editing, the difference between dwarves and fairies, and how not to confuse this fantasy film with a certain genre classic. Grab a slice of bread, an apple, and your favorite oracular pig...we're going down to Prydain!

"I'm Castor Troy!" Or is he Castor Troy? Is this podcast Castor Troy? Hold on to your faces. This week we watched the 1997 face-swap classic that can only truly be described by the title itself: Face/Off. Join our contestants as we discuss Nicholas Cage at his absolute craziest, John Woo's first crack at a Hollywood film and the legacy he created, and who would be cast in a reprisal of this movie today (and whether this movie could even be made today...)

"Whoever said 'Tomorrow is another day' didn't check the weather... Or listen to this podcast!" Sorry to rain on your parade, but this week we warm up to a movie about global warming and... ice storms? The year is 2004 and the North Atlantic currents somehow make frozen hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes in L.A. in The Day After Tomorrow. Our panel talks about Roland Emmerich's many strange choices as a director, wolves, Russian boats in Manhattan, how easy it is to survive -150-degree weather, and Bilbo's bromance with Dennis Quade. We also very importantly discuss how attractive Jake Gyllenhaal is in this movie. You won't want to miss this chilling disaster of an episode!
