It's time to celebrate 6 years of The Movie Defenders podcast! We return today to our tradition of showing the hosts movies they've never seen. Brev had never seen Jumper, an underrated sci-fi flick, and Scott and Donald had never seen Sing Street, a modern musical that flew criminally under the radar. We review both films in a double episode to celebrate our show with all of you! So chase after that snow globe, don't leave behind a jump scar, and drive it like you stole it... it's 6 years of The Movie Defenders!

In a very special double episode of The Movie Defenders, we are joined this episode by friend of the show, Amy Cass! Amy is currently a Senior Assistant Production Manager at Warner Brothers Animation and has studied recently with the immortal Don Bluth! We spend the first half of our episode talking to Amy about animation... the past, present, and future. We also talk some about something she might be working on (*COUGH* James Gunn *COUGH COUGH*). After learning a lot about modern Hollywood animation we then dive into Scott's sentimental favorite Disney classic, 1973's Robin Hood! Amy brought this one to us and we jump right in to all the classic scenes, music, and Amy even clues us into a specific, new (at the time) animation style they used to make the movie. So grab your bows and arrows, suck your thumb while you're thinking about mom, and always keep the safety on 'ol Betsy. It's time for Disney's Robin Hood on The Movie Defenders Podcast!

It's time to talk The Flash! A movie that all three hosts LOVED very much, and one in which we each went into with different levels of expectations and excitement. In the hosts' humble opinion, this film deserves to rest near the top of the DCEU. We examine every moment and play the big moments from the movie while we break it all down. But before we get started with The Flash we reveal a new segment as Scott shares his James Bond journey now getting caught up and watching all the James Bond movies from scratch. How does he like the first few? Find out! Then it's time to head into the Speed Force and get into The Flash! So grab your candy bars, don't phase through the floor without your clothes, and yes... this show straight Beeves. It's The Flash on The Movie Defenders Podcast!
