Sorry it took so long to deliver an unfinished version of a not-terribly-long episode. This week was kinda nuts for me. I'll have the finished episode tomorrow night (technically tonight since it's after midnight).
This week, I'm joined by the hosts of the Channel KRT podcast as the randomizer goes all the way back to 2022 to pick everyone's absolute favorite type of content we cover on this podcast, YET ANOTHER NATGEO SPECIAL! And this one's about those lovable striped predatory carni...
It's FINALLY done, and available to you, my beloved patrons, eighteen hours before I release it publicly! I didn't want to make you all settle for an almost-finished cut on this one, so here's the complete episode, exactly as it will be released publicly tomorrow!
I feel compelled to tell you all, however, that due to the fact that this episode was delayed a month by a severe (and severely stupid) technical fiasco that (mostly) wasn't my fault, I've decided to indulge in a bit of sneak...
Escape From Vault Disney will be back next week with the delayed-due-to-stupid-technical-difficulties Muppet Christmas Carol episode, but in the meantime, twelve hours early for my beloved patrons, here's a BONUS MINISODE featuring outtakes (caused by different technical difficulties) from the recent chaotic Arendelle Castle Yule Log episode!

Merry Christmas! For reasons I hope will become obvious once you hear the episode, I didn't want to give you an "almost-finished cut" this time, I wanted this episode available in its entirety right off the bat. But I also don't want to release it publicly anytime after Christmas Eve, and I only finished it moments ago, so I'm sorry I have to break my "hear new episodes one day early" promise to you fine patrons this time. It'll be released publicly in just an hour or two, and I hope you enjo...
2022-12-25 02:50:36 +0000 UTC View PostLike the title said. Stupid technical issues. I'll have a "third" (technically second) Christmas episode for you on Christmas Eve (I probably won't be able to release that one to patrons any earlier, sorry about that too), and then I'll finish the Muppet Christmas Carol episode by sometime in mid-January. Thank you as always for your kind support and patience.

This week, for our first of three special Christmas episodes of 2022, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1992 to pick the blockbuster sequel to one of the biggest Christmas smash hits of all time, a heartwarming holiday tale set in the Big Apple, complete with all the staples of a Merry Christmas: family, Christmas trees, toy stores, generosity, school pageants, travel complications, chronic abandonment, homelessness, fireworks, bodily injury, lifesize plastic s...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2016 to pick exactly what all my most dedicated listeners tune in to this podcast to hear, ANOTHER DAMN NATGEO SHOW! For the second week in a row. Hey, don't thank the randomizer, it's just doing its very stupid job. This particular NatGeo show is a reality show all about the veterinarians working at a Florida animal hospital that specializes in caring for exotic animals, which basically means "literally any animal t...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2020 to pick one of the roughly nine zillion NatGeo documentaries on Disney+ all about sharks! Yes, sharks, those oft-maligned predators of the deep who were the subject of exactly one really good movie almost fifty damn years ago and the general public is still inexplicably fascinated with them, even though you're statistically more likely to get killed by a falling vending machine than a shark. So I guess the r...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2022 to pick a Disney+ original movie about a precocious young theater kid named Nate who, despite the movie title, does not find himself locked in fierce gladiatorial combat with an inferior precocious young theater kid named Ever. It's about Nate pursuing an impossible dream of sweating in a hot mascot suit for two hours under hot theater lights while the overpaying tourists don't even get to see his face. ...
Escape From Vault Disney will be back next week with a full episode on the Disney+ original movie Better Nate Than Ever, but in the meantime here's a BONUS MINISODE featuring various outtakes from the Man of the House, Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Beverly Hills Chihuahua episodes!

Yeah, I know this isn't a Disney+ movie, but screw it, this is my podcast and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is a movie I've basically been waiting for pretty much all my life. Enjoy the spoiler-free review!

This week, for our second Halloween episode of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2021 to cover a DCOM that happens to be a remake of the first DCOM to ever get branded with the official "DCOM" label. It's about a poorly-protected Egyptian mummy who comes back to life, befriends a few kids, appears in a homemade monster movie, stars in a viral dance video, runs afoul of antiquity thieves, sticks a remote to the ceiling with honey somehow, accidentally ...

This week, for our first of two Halloween episodes of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1980 to cover a made-for-TV movie that has absolutely nothing to do with Halloween and barely even has all that much to do with ghosts. In fact, if anything, the titular ghosts are just interrupting an already way too convoluted story about a rich kid, his evil gold-digging relatives and the newly gender-integrated military academy he attends for some reason. Also ...
At long long last it's finally FINISHED!
IT'S THE ESCAPE FROM VAULT DISNEY 100TH EPISODE SPECTACULAR!!! That's right, this objectively very stupid podcast where grown-ass adults whine about children's media has finally reached triple-digits, and to celebrate, we assemble the biggest group of guests we've ever had to take on a topic chosen through an unusually-convoluted process involving the randomizer, my guests' preferences AND a Twitter poll, and in that Twitter poll my sadistic lis...

We're still another week away from the Escape From Vault Disney 100th Episode Spectacular, in which we cover Beverly Hills Chihuahua, but in the meantime here's the spine-shattering conclusion of a two-part interview that frequent guest Luke Ski conducted with host Tony Goldmark back in April! We talk about some of the movies on Disney+ that haven't been covered on the show yet, including an extremely lengthy digression on the merits, or ...

The Escape From Vault Disney 100th Episode Spectacular, in which we cover Beverly Hills Chihuahua, is two weeks away, and in the meantime here's part one of a two-part interview that frequent guest Luke Ski conducted with host Tony Goldmark back in April! We talk about various episodes of the show, and for some reason go off on a very long tangent about the Meatballs movies.

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2008 to pick an episode of Disney Channel's smash hit sitcom that launched the massively successful pop music career of Miley Cyrus. But before she was swinging around naked on wrecking balls, she was stuck in the world's worst love triangle with the guy from High School Musical (no, not him, the other...
Episode #99 won't be ready til sometime this weekend, but in the meantime, here's an advance clip of the end of it where my guests and I narrow down our 100th episode topic to four choices!

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2005 to pick the spine-tingling conclusion of that one time some Northern California film school tech weirdo spent hundreds of millions of dollars on three movies about his most famous characters' parents. Featuring laser swords, lava battles, digital muppets, a planet full of gorilla-bears who get distressingly lit...
Like I said, every penny of what I made on this site in August (plus a few bucks extra, just to make it a nice round number) went to the National Network of Abortion Funds, and here's the proof! Thank you all for your generous contributions to a great cause!
(Incidentally, I'll have the Revenge of the Sith episode ready sometime this weekend. Thank you as always for your kind patience!)

It's our fifth and final week of Patreon Request Month 2022, and the randomizer's going all the way back to the year 2000 to pick Scott's request for a Disney Channel movie about a family of sentient alien space bubbles whose planet falls under the tyrannical rule of an evil fascist sentient alien space bubble, forcing them to flee to Earth, where they take human form somehow, subsist on root beer and fear the wind...and somehow it's all still very, very, very boring...

It's Week #4 of Patreon Request Month 2022, and the randomizer's going all the way back to 2020 to pick Z. Taylor Dunkin's request for a randomly-selected batch of three episodes of the seven-minute Australian kids show about a family of talking dogs that's taken the world by storm, and endeared itself to kids and adults alike, thanks to a winning combination of refreshing sincerity, surprising emotional depth, and a level of cuteness which I'm pretty sure was outlaw...

It's Week #3 of Patreon Request Month 2022, and this week the randomizer's going all the way back to the year 2000 to pick Pat_Alazr's request for a Disney Channel Original Movie all about the majesty of cinema itself, in which screen legend Mickey Rooney lends his formidable gravitas to a timeless fable about the seductive power of the silver screen. It's also a movie in which the lead character plays hockey with gumballs and a trash can and also stabs a giant dinos...

It's Week #2 of Patreon Request Month 2022, and the randomizer's going all the way back to 2022 to pick Zan Hecht and Tyler Paul's request for the Disney+ original movie that saw fit to hire the lunatics at The Lonely Island to take over the Disney asylum, and Trojan Horse the most surreal phantasmagorical whirlwind of pop-cultural remixing this side of The LEGO Movie into an adaptation of a semi-remembered Disney Afternoon show from over three decades ago.

This week, the randomizer kicks off Patreon Request Month 2022 by going all the way back to 2021 to pick Emily Hinton's request for a Pixar instant classic which got a pandemic-induced straight-to-Disney+ release, a movie about talking fish where...no, not that one. A movie about a fish-human hybrid creature who dreams of something more above the surface and...no, not that one either. The one set in Italy where the fish-kid wants to be an astronaut or something and e...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1981 to pick, for the second time in the history of this podcast, an episode of an early-80s Spider-Man animated series in which a villain kidnaps a superhero and Spidey has to chase that villain all the way to Europe to rescue the other superhero from a creepy old castle. Something something Doofenshmirtz, something something two nickels. Join Tony Goldmark, Kyle A. Carrozza, Luke Ski and a Surprise Special Guest as...
Beloved patrons,
As you know, next month is Patreon Request Month, and I'm donating every last penny I make on this site from the episodes I release in August to the National Network of Abortion Funds. Now, normally I only charge you fine folks for two episodes each month, but this month, because I want to raise as much for the NNAF as I possibly can, I'll be charging for ALL FIVE EPISODES I release in August. This means if you pledge $1 per episode, you could be charged as much as $5 ...

SECOND UPDATE: Patreon was being really weird with this one at first, but it should be okay now. Let me know if there's any problems.
