Nearly twenty years after the first movie and seven years after our episode on it, our hosts are returning to Salem with HOCUS POCUS 2! The Sanderson Sisters are back! Billy is back! That's all who is a back! But the good news is the newcomers to the sequal are welcome additions to the lore. And despite the "straight-to-Disney Plus" level budget, this long awaited sequel manages to capture a lot of the essence of the original while still being it's own thing. All-in-all, not a bad October Season surprise. Or maybe our hosts' minds have just been poisoned after years of replacing the Sanderson Sisters with the Halloweentown Cromwell family. 

Another October Season is upon us, and any long-time listener will know that this time of year has become synonymous with certain DCOM franchises. So our hosts are returning to the strangely segregated town of Seabrook one last time with Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3. What sprasely costumed monsters will upset the status quo this time? What craft supplies will they have glued to their clothes? And how quickly will Addison decide to ditch her supportive circle of loved ones in favour of a group of people she just met but somehow feels she "belongs" with?

It's with great delight that our hosts return to the world of Planes (or is it still called The World of Cars?). Not only because it allows them to dig deep into the how the mechanics of this mechanical world work, but because against all odds, PLANES: FIRE & RESCUE is one of those sequels that manages to surpass the original. And by a lot in this case. We're talking laughs, we're talking thrills, we're talking what may be Dane Cook's finest performance, period. Put it this way: it feels like awhile since one of our hosts ended up in tears within the first 20 minutes of an episode, who would have thought it would be the sequel to a Cars spin-off that prompted it?

At long last, our collective nightmare is over. With NIKKI, WILD DOG OF THE NORTH, not only do our hosts finish off every Disney movie theatrically released in the 1960s, but seemingly finally finish watching all these pseudo-documentary animal movies. And while much of this one is familiar territory (IE it's mostly animals fighting), there were some unexpected surprises. Like a martial arts form that may be entirely unique to this movie. Still, any shortcomings of its genre aren't enough to put a damper on our hosts' reflections of this decade of Disney, which isn't bad, all things considered.
