09/30/18 • 62 min

Aloha, darlings! Your hosts just got back from vacation in Hawaii and in an attempt to hold onto that island spirit, this month's episode is focused on Disney's most famous Hawaiian animated feature. No, not Moana. Moana's set in Polynesia. Duh. We are talking about 2002's Lilo & Stitch!

Lilo and Nani have lost their parents in a tragic car accident and are trying to keep what is left of their little family together. Desperate for a friend, Lilo makes a wish on a falling star. Little does she know that the falling star is actually a stolen space cruiser, piloted by an alien super weapon! When she adopts the super weapon as her pet (giving him the moniker of Stitch) they both discover the true meaning of ohana. Featuring the voice talents of Tia Carrere, David Ogden Stiers, Ving Rhames and more, Lilo & Stitch is one of those Disney films that kids and parents alike can enjoy! But will our hosts feel that true spirit of aloha as they watch? Tune in and see! And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!

KYD 064 - Interview with the Vampire

Twilight sucks. Twilight sucks. Twilight sucks.

OK, now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk about an actual awesome vampire series. Penned by Anne Rice back in the 80s/90s, The Vampire Chronicles were what every bookish teenage girl read and swooned over. And by every bookish teenage girl, we're talking about Chrysten. So of course because there were wildly successful books, there had to be a movie. Enter 1994's Interview with the Vampire.

Brad Pitt plays Louis, a vampire telling his story to an eager reporter (played by Christian Slater). He regales Slater with the story of how he was made and the relationship he had with his maker, Lestat (Tom Cruise) and some of the other vampire relationships he had over the years. Also starring Kirsten Dunst as the curly haired child vampire, Claudia, and Antonio Banderas (TOO SEXY!) as the oldest living vampire, Armand, this movie is one of those terrible period dramas that Chrysten loves. But will Dan fall under the vampire's spell? Join us and find out! And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!

KYD 066 - The Craft

It's the moooost spookiest tiiiime of the yeeear...wait, that makes no grammatical sense. Anyway...it's Halloween time again, darlings! And Dan and Chrysten are back with another spooky episode! True to form, Dan has never seen 90s teen classic The Craft, so naturally, Chrysten is making him sit through it and enjoy it in all of its teen goth glory!

When Sarah (Robin Tunney) moves to a new town, she is befriended by a group of outcast girls (Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell & Rachel True) whose extracurricular activities are witchcraft! At first it seems like a bunch of harmless tricks, but as the girls become increasingly drunk with power, things start to spiral out of control!

Dan definitely remembers seeing the posters for this movie and thinking with his teenage boy brain that the ladies of The Craft were hot stuff, but will he think the same about the movie? Join us and find out! And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!
