158. Aladdin and the King of Thieves
They're finally gettin' married! Following the conclusion of the Aladdin animated series—which itself was kicked off by an earlier straight-to-video sequel—Disney rolled out a final VHS installment headlined by the return of Robin Williams as the Genie. Also featuring Jonathan Rhys-Davies and Jerry Orbach, this movie bravely asks: am I really better than The Return of Jafar?

157. Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light
Throwing back to the classic (if slightly underheralded) animation of our youths, Kevin brings forth Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, yet another Hasbro-backed vehicle reverse-engineered to sell toys. And, like the far more popular G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, this show was made by Sunbow Productions. Has lightning struck twice?

154. Superman Animated Shorts of the 1940’s
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Fleischer Studios' Superman animated shorts of the 1940's!

Join us for a look back at a trio of The Last Son of Krypton's adventures—The Mad Scientist, The Magnetic Telescope, and Jungle Drums.
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!
