Welcome to the Family Madrigal! Where a magical enchantment has granted fantastical abilities to everyone in the family and their casita! Well, almost everyone... Mirabel Madrigal is the only member of the family without a magical gift, or perhaps her gift is being in denial? Despite being the only “normal” person of her family, Mirabel must find a way to bring her family together and keep the candle burning. Join us as we do a deep-dive on generational trauma, family roles, and the burdens they all must overcome to save the miracle and the Encanto! Negligent donkey farmers, glowing green glass, and Alan Tudyk voices a bird (surprised? we weren’t) ¡Felicidades!

Tis the season for parkas, fishing, and sending letters to the big guy up north in Smeerensburg! In this fresh take on the origins of Christmas we meet Jesper, a down-on-his-luck postal worker begrudgingly assigned to the coldest and most isolated town in Northern Europe. What happens when you mix a motivated postman, an unresolved and centuries old feud, illiterate children, and an old hermit with a barn full of toys? Find out in our review of the heartwarming Netflix original, Klaus.

When's the last time you had a nice fresh meal? When's the last time you ran into the Winter Soldier in the produce isle and gave him your number. Now that we think about it that hasn't happened to either of us and we are mighty bummed about it. Lucky for you this weeks episode has all that and more. A gal named Noa meats (hehe see what we did there?) Steve by chance and within 30 minutes of run time, her life is unraveled. Besides the film we also cover unfortunate cookies, saving the breast for last, and tons of pro tips if you ever find yourself kidnapped. Is Hulu's new Horror/Thriller Fresh? Or just as rotten as our show is? Get the answers to all these questions and hit play already!

Oh em gee, did you notice this is our first sequel episode?
This weeks is Part 2 of our up coming trailers and discussion, and a bonus of some trivia between the hosts. Usually sequels are a winner in the movie world, its the third entry that generally goes to crap. Lucky for you our trailers only get a sequel.

Emperor’s New Groove-

If you’ve ever wondered why Llamas are so revered in South American cultures, Disney has the answer! In this beloved tale we see Kuzco, the noble and selfless ruler of (definitely NOT) Meso-America, be turned into a llama as the result of a simple misunderstanding between him and his former advisor. Just kidding, he totally deserved it. Kuzco will have to eat a big slice of humble pie and learn to be a friend if he wants to become human again! Full of magic, suspense, panthers, revenge, a narrowly avoided federal crime involving the postal service, and a literal plot hole identified by yours truly, this one has it all! Well, almost... just need to find a good spot for the pool!
