We Want The D

Disney films have shaped and supported childhoods for over 75 years. But when you watch them as adults there are things that make you want to unfreeze Walt's head and say, "What the hell, guy?!". Tune in each week to hear Vicky, Nolan, and Jill rip apart, analyse, and laugh at beloved childhood classics from the Disney catalogue.

The last time we saw Troy, Gabriella and the rest of the Wildcats they were leaving behind their high school (musical) days at the end of senior year, with little to no context of how they got there. This week on We Want The D, Vicky, Nolan and Jill are remedying that by checking out the middle installment of the Disney Channel Original phenomenon, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2. This time the Wildcats are off the court (kinda) and stage (not really) and "working" summer jobs, but don't worry they're still all in this together so they'll almost certainly survive this challenging rite of passage without turning on each other for petty and stupid reasons.

It seems fitting that the longest film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise would mean an extra-bloated episode of We Want The D. But in our defense, AT WORLD'S END has a lot to unpack in terms of sheer plot. Each character has their own scheme to follow, their own betrayal to make, and for chrissakes they spend the first hour just trying to bring Jack Sparrow back from the dead. This may be the most convoluted of any of the installments to Disney's seafaring franchise (certainly so far), but there's enough residual charm from the first two films that aside from being waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long there's worse things you could do while folding laundry. Join us for another adventure on the high seas as we continue our Summer of Pirates!

This week's episode of We Want The D is all about a movie about overcoming adversity and obstacles to achieve your dreams. It doesn't matter if you're an unwanted orphan during the great depression. It doesn't matter if you're a pint-sized teenager surrounded by movie star wannabes, gingers who can't grill hot dogs, or a gruff mentor with bad hair extensions. It doesn't because, as the title of this Disney movie constantly reminds us, WILD HEARTS CAN'T BE BROKEN. So even if you find yourself in circumstances like the ones mentioned here, know that no matter what, you too can achieve your dreams of diving horses into pools of muddy water on the Atlantic City boardwalk. Just...for the love of god make sure you close your eyes before you hit the water.

Welcome to the most self-indulgent episode of We Want The D to date! In this special mini-episode Vicky, Nolan and Jill look back at all the most ridiculous, boring and flat-out bad Disney movies we've watched over the past 100+ episodes and try to come up with a definitive list of the ten worst Disney movies we've watched to date. Each of our hosts brings their own opinions to the table and duke it out over which movies deserve the prestige of being top of the garbage pile. There's shock, there's anger and there's grim acceptance as they go about their task, but it's all worth it at the end when they are able to present to you the definitive We Want The D Bottom Ten! (So far...)
