Frozen is not a Christmas movie: and this is a hill I will die on. Winter is not equal to Christmas - also it's actually set in Summer, until the spell - and there are no holiday elements except for snow, ice, and chocolate, which are not specific to December. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

You know the problem with the new Prep & Landing special? (Aside from the fact that it's not a special but two shorts spliced together.) There's no Prep; there's no Landing. It's just...two guys, hanging out at the North Pole, and then the beach. It's fun, but it lacks that unique seasoning.

Not to overthink a 19 year old film (yup), but IMO, The King absolutely won the The Piston Cup: Chick should have been disqualified for deliberately causing a crash, and Lightning only made it to the line because he stuck his tongue out; if you go by the front of the body, The King won.

I'm sorry, but K Culkin's Oscar speech is not "couple goals" at all. 'My wife told me she was uncomfortable after I made this joke at the Emmys, so I'm going to ignore her feelings and make it again; I did a good job, even though she didn't believe in me; she now *owes me* two more babies. Ick.

"I love Shrek: it teaches people that appearances aren't all that matter and we shouldn't judge things by them."

"Eww, that one screen shot from Shrek 5 looks AWFUL!!"

@erichersey.bsky.social Hi Eric. I live in the UK and listen to your Epic Universal podcast. I was very surprised to see Epic advertised on Disney+ the other day: why would they promote the competition? Or, are they assuming us Brits would come to Florida for a week and do both, so no harm?

Disney Fans: I wish they would give us an old school animated villain again!
Also Disney Fans: Man those white lions in Mufasa are dumb...

Just bought a Disney Lorcana deck out of curiosity, and I worry I'm about to go down a very slippery slope!

@drsamsummers.bsky.social @benstravis.bsky.social Loved your Almost Christmas Story episode, especially the shout out for Christmas With The Kranks! I always recommend people read the much-less-silly book it's based on: Skipping Christmas by John Grisham :)

For anyone looking for the classic "Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too" special on Disney+, it's packaged with "A Very Merry Pooh Year". Follow it with the Donald shorts "Hockey Champ" and "Bearly Asleep" and you'll have pure 90s nostalgia; you're welcome.

@drsamsummers.bsky.social I'm *sure* I'm not the first person to send you this, but just in case: youtu.be/seXzVNRHWTk?... It's a storyboard of the discarded Pomp and Circumstance segment of Fantasia 2000

@drsamsummers.bsky.social Really enjoyed the episode on Home on the Range. Maybe the answer is "wait for my book", but do you think there was an Antz/Bug's Life correlation between this and Spirit? To my mind, the 'pitches' are essentially the same: tell a Western from the POV of the animals.
