Tune in each week to hear Vicky, Nolan, and Jill rip apart, analyse and laugh at beloved childhood classics from the Disney catalogue.

WWTD 387 - Haunted Mansion (2023): Cronald Crump

Oct 17 2024 70 mins  
Trick or treat, D-Lovers! It's an October Season surprise as for the third time our hosts are watching a movie based on one specific Disney theme park ride - HAUNTED MANSION. And despite the shakey track record of the previous stabs at adapting this attraction into a narrative feature, this one ain't all that bad! Mostly it's got a pretty game cast that collectively does their best

ANNOUNCING: A Beautiful Find!

Jan 17 2024 1 mins  
Beloved D-Lovers, we are coming BACK with a brand new show on a brand new feed! Announcing A BEAUTIFUL FIND, a movie scavenger hunt podcast about sharing films with your best friends. Join Vicky, Nolan and Jill each season as they check movies off their scavenger hunt list, with our trademark laughter, crying and a little bit of good-natured arguing. Look for A Beautiful Find whe

WWTD 386 - The Little Mermaid (2023): Cowards.

Nov 23 2023 95 mins  
Just when our hosts thought they were out, they get pulled back in. And by another live action remake of a Disney animated classic, of all things. This time, it's THE LITTLE MERMAID's turn to be made less visually interesting, more poorly thought through, and inexplicably longer. But much like the article of clothing they use to cover Ursula's arms in this movie, the most Vicky, No

We Want The D's "So Long" Spectacular

Jan 19 2023 151 mins  
In an act of pure self-indulgence, Vicky, Nolan and Jill look back at their podcast journey, reminicise about movies and episodes past, do one last ranking, talk about future, and most importantly do their best to express their appreciation to you, D-Lovers.

WWTD 385 - Strange World: Whatever Spins Your Turbine

Jan 05 2023 71 mins  
In February 2015, Vicky, Nolan and Jill kicked off their podcast odyssey by talking about Disney's very first feature-length animated movie. So it's fitting that, almost eight years later, we end our regularly scheduled programming by talking about the most recent Disney feature-length animated movie, STRANGE WORLD. And hopefully it won't be their last, even though it absolutely ta

WWTD 384 - The Lion King: Monkey Wizard

Dec 29 2022 88 mins  
At long last, our hosts have made it to the Disney movie that needs no introduction - THE LION KING. Despite being staffed by a so-called "B-team" of animators and other other creatives, an argument can be made for this movie being the crown jewel in the renaissance crown, or at the very least having the largest cultural footprint. It unsurprisingly made a huge impact on our hosts,

WWTD 383 - Mulan: The Two Hottest Men Coming Together

Dec 22 2022 73 mins  
Having already watched the disappointing live-action remake, it's time to return to Disney's OG version of MULAN, and ask the important questions all you D-Lovers have come to reliably expect. Does this movie stand proud amongst the best of the 90s Renaissance, or does it leave something to be desired? Is "I'll Make a Man Out of You" an S-tier song, or merely an A++? And, of course

WWTD 382 - Frozen II: Oops, All Ballads

Dec 15 2022 68 mins  
It's curious that FROZEN II, the sequel to a cultural juggernaut of a Disney movie, doesn't seem to have had the same resonance or impact. Could it be that, in contrast with the first film's simple-yet-largely-effective story, this one is convoluted at worst and overly ambitious at best? Could it be the global pandemic that struck mere months after this movie's release? Impossible

WWTD 381 - Big Hero 6: Hornberger!

Dec 08 2022 67 mins  
Our hosts have watched more than a few stories that featured characters who had been or are orphaned in the course of the movie. BIG HERO 6 is a unique movie in that it dares to ask - what if Disney did a double orphan? Incredibly sad and surprising, yes, but also not a bad film. Because unlike so many other orphan movies where these characters are not allowed to grieve properly, t

WWTD 380 - Underdog: Gentle Mauling

Dec 01 2022 57 mins  
"Have no fear, UNDERDOG is here!" is a common refrain heard throughout this week's Disney movie. But trust us, D-Lovers, fear is about the last emotion one could feel when watching this film. Apathy, probably. Boredom, almost certainly. But fear? Or really, any strong emotion? Not likely. For that, someone would have had to have cared enough to put more than the bare minimum amount
