    Oo-de-Lally! Disney's Robin Hood

    This week, we head to Sherwood Forest to revisit Disney’s animated classic Robin Hood (1973). With animal outlaws, corrupt royalty, catchy folk songs, and one of Disney’s most lovable duos in Robin and Little John, does this laid-back cult favorite still hold up, or is it just nostalgia talking? We break down the movie’s charm, recycled animation, iconic music, and surprisingly sharp themes about power, greed, and heroism, all while trying to decide if Prince John is secretly one of Disney’s funniest villains ever. Oo-de-lally!!

    100th Episode!! Half Baked

    For our 100th episode, we went back to a true stoner comedy staple: Half Baked. It might be the most quotable movie with the least amount of actual plot, so we revisit it to see if there’s more to it than nostalgia and great lines. We break down what still works, what feels dated, and whether Dave Chappelle is quietly carrying the whole thing, from the chaotic, sketch-like structure to the endless cameos. And yes, we give proper respect to all-time names like Wesley Pipes and Billy Bong Thornton. Stoner classic or just a collection of great moments?

    In Memoriam: James Van Der Beek

    This week we head to West Canaan, Texas to revisit Varsity Blues, the late-90s football movie that somehow became a defining piece of high school sports culture. Packed with memorable quotes, big personalities, and peak 90s energy, the film mixes locker-room comedy, sports drama, and a surprisingly sharp look at the pressure placed on teenage athletes. We talk about what still works, what feels very 1999, and why this movie stuck around as a cult favorite long after its release. Fire up the stadium lights and join us as we find out if Varsity Blues still earns the hype.

    2025 In Memoriam: Rob Reiner

    In this episode of High Expectations, we continue our In Memoriam series by honoring Rob Reiner with a look at The Princess Bride. A film that blends fairy tale sincerity, sharp comedy, and endlessly quotable moments, it has earned its place as a true cult classic. Through the High Expectations lens, we examine why the movie works so well, from Reiner’s confident direction to its perfect balance of heart and humor. We reflect on what this film says about Reiner’s legacy and why it remains timeless decades later. As you wish.

    Jingle All the Way

    This episode looks at how Jingle All the Way turned the hunt for a Turbo Man doll into sharp holiday satire. We explore the real shopping frenzies that inspired it, the production choices that shaped its chaotic style, and why it has grown into a seasonal favorite. We also ask whether Schwarzenegger, Sinbad, and full holiday desperation create an even better viewing experience when stoned.
