164. Disney’s Robin Hood
PROGRAMMING NOTE: Want to choose what we cover for our next Patreon episode? Check out our listener poll on Twitter or Instagram, @nowweknowpod.
Although Chris is technically the host of this episode, both he and Kevin are about as diehard fans of this flick as one can be — it's Disney's Robin Hood, released in 1973 to muted/mostly negative reaction, now an oft-cited source of sexual awakening for fans of roguelike foxes. With excellent voice acting, charming set pieces, fantastic tunes, and yes, some admittedly corner-cutting animation, could this be the definitive Robin Hood adaptation?

163. Bionic Six
From the annals of long-forgotten animation, Kevin presents, for your consideration: Bionic Six, a 1987 cartoon starring a family of cyborg heros taking on the nefarious Dr. Scarab. Directed by Osaka Dezaki—the man behind such animes as Space Adventure Cobra, Takarajima (Treasure Island), and the Golgo 13 movies—this show looms large in Kevin's memories, despite being largely forgotten.

162. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Evan Tognotti joins the show to dig into 2002's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, an infamous big budget flop (or "disappointment," if you prefer Chris' classification) which had huge ramifications not just for the superhero genre and Hollywood icon Sean Connery's career, but for the Tognotti family's own personal fortunes.

161. Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures
Here he comes to save the day! Kevin, that is, bringing with him six entries (three episodes' worth combined) of Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, the 1987 Mighty Mouse reboot (not to be confused with 1980's The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle & Jeckle). Listen as Kevin gingerly guides Chris through a slate of first season episodes, produced by Bakshi studios under the eye of (now exposed and reviled) Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi, whose off-kilter influence is abundantly evident.

160. Richie Rich
Nowadays, America's Culkinheads are all Kieran this, Kieran that. But back in 1994, we were still living in the Macaulay Epoch—though not for much longer, with that year's film adaptation of Richie Rich serving as the final childhood role for the darling young movie star. Nowadays you've probably only heard of this for the scene where Richie has a private McDonalds in his mansion, but fear not, as we're here to go long and deep on this "what if a kid had money" genre picture.

159. Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead
Once agIan, we're called to the mat by that most predictable and ignoble of occasions—the modern remake. The new 2024 version of this movie dropped back in April, so Kevin decided the time was ripe to revisit the 1991 original: Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead.
Customer Reviews
Fun reviews
These two guys really are a one two punch when the delivery of most of these jokes are coming and I love clips they play so seamlessly in the show. Really do listen to all sorts of pods about movies and silly movies and listening to this podcast is always a welcome sight to my feed when I see episodes from them
Ps
Logo for the show is bold and eye catchy on Spotify and then a Ferris wheel here but same pod
A Great Show, with Great Hosts
I stumbled onto this show when I listened to their episode about Transformers: The Movie…which I daresay is just about the best, most earnest, & most entertaining review of that particular film I’ve ever encountered. Impressed with the quality of that episode, I kept listening, and haven’t been disappointed yet.
Relaxing!
Kevin somehow found the only person drier than him on the planet and its made for some exceptional chemistry!
Nice to hear some real vocabulary in a review podcast.
Also cant say enough how the calm cadence is reassuring considering the nostalgic nature of the content.
Yall are absolutely killing it! Especially love the guest host eps!
