It's been awhile since we visited the first decade of Disney's theatrical films, and our return to that early era of Disney is a somewhat rocky one. Maybe not as rocky as the circumstances under which many of those films were made - what with all the World War Two and propaganda demands going on at the time. But when you cobble together an anthology movie based on some pseudo-thought-out ideas all centered generally around the concept of music, you're gonna end up with mixed results. Enter MAKE MINE MUSIC, a collection of shorts that range from delightful and inventive to barely coherent and boring. Vicky, Nolan and Jill have grades to pass out to each segment in this week's We Want The D, and while there is a healthy mix of successes and failure, the overall assignment feels like a miss; especially when the theme of music seems secondary to all the sex and death.

This week on We Want The D, Vicky Nolan and Jill are looking at a movie all about adolescents with special abilities going off to school, where they are sorted into different categories immediately upon arrival, and having them struggle with navigating the social awkwardness of high school coupled with the return of a villain long-thought defeated. That's right, we're going all way to Hogwarts for this special episo- wait, what's that? This isn't a movie about wizard school? Oh, right, it's super hero school. You know, the Disney movie about a high school for kids with super powers. And the school is in a giant floating building in the sky. A high school...in the sky...it's Sky High!

Welcome back to Bob's Lake, D Lovers! Vicky, Nolan and Jill could think of no better way to celebrate the sequel to our kinda-sorta live show than doing our very first Disney sequel; so let's give a warm welcome back to the Szalinski family (except for Amy who vanishes about five minutes into the movie) with Honey, I Blew Up the Kid! You may wonder what inspired a sequel that basically just does the inverse story of the original, but if you thought it was because someone thought of the idea "giant baby" and shoehorned it into an existing property, you wouldn't be that far off. The end result is a sequel that doesn't quite compare to its original (or arguably its own direct-to-video sequel), but certainly has its charms. More Rick Moranis is always a plus, especially when paired with a very impressive toddler performer; the Nick and Keri Russell romance has just the right of dark sexual undertones to it; and watching a fully-grown man dressed up as a toddler in an over-sized sports jacket is more entertaining than you might think. So enjoy the sounds of nature and the great outdoors and celebrate the last days of summer with your favourite podcast hosts in this week's episode of We Want The D!

We Want The D is back after a short hiatus, and what better way to reward our beloved listeners' patience than with another classic Disney film from that odd 60s/70s era of weird animal movies. The Cat from Outer Space has the distinction of not only being one of the most out-there Disney movies we've watched so far conceptually, but also the most boring realization of it's off-the-wall concept. The only thing amazing about this movie is how straight everyone plays the fact that this movie is supposedly about a CAT from OUTER SPACE. No madcap antics or zany adventures to be had here, just long sequences of illegal sports betting and some pretty dismal green screen plane stunts. Oh, and the casual animal cruelty we've come to expect from Disney films of this ilk. Vicky, Nolan and Jill are glad to be back in your ears, but can't say they're glad to have watched this movie.
