Make sure you reach out to the hotlines because the holidays can be the darkest time of year for anybody

Adam and Ian come in sounding a little rough around the edges. They say they are recording the day before release. Adam has been sick, and Ian says he has not felt great either. The opening stays with ordinary life for a bit. They talk about work, a long hot shower, and the sort of ache that makes even rolling over feel awful. Minecraft comes up too, because the realm is back and that is apparently part of the week now. From there, the show drifts into a Disney studio movie list. Encino Man and Sister Act get brought up as part of the catalog chatter. Buena Vista, Hollywood Pictures, Miramax, and Dimension all end up in the same messy family tree. The hosts then start reading through a pile of classics. The Lion King and Pocahontas get easy approval. Hunchback of Notre Dame gets remembered as a sleeper, though not one they can fully unpack from memory. The Little Mermaid gets a quick nod. The Nightmare Before Christmas gets the bigger debate, with one host calling the fandom a little much even while saying the movie is good. Frank and Weenie gets a loud, enthusiastic defense. The list keeps moving through Snow White, Bambi, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, and 101 Dalmatians. When they get to personal favorites, A Goofy Movie and Hercules rise near the top. Brave Little Toaster gets a warm memory, and Aladdin gets mentioned in the same childhood-favorites lane. The conversation keeps circling back to what stuck as a kid and what still holds up now. It wraps on Thanksgiving talk, with family, food, football, deviled eggs, and a theme-song shout-out to You Versus Yesterday.
