This podcast addresses a number of questions, including: <ul> <li>How many times do you have to hear a song before you can judge its quality?</li> <li>With Disney re-theming Splash Mountain to tell the story of The Princess and the Frog rather than Song of the South, what other Disney-owned intellectual properties would you like to see represented in the theme parks?</li> <li>What's Joe Dante's deal? Why does he love creatures so much? </li> </ul> All that, plus Matt explains how Small Soldiers predicted the Iraq War.

Matt and Laci rent a movie from the video store, spend the week obsessing over it, and then tell you all about it. They spend the week watching, re-watching, researching, reading interviews, and reading the source material of the week's movie. Whether it's a blockbuster from the past, an all-time flop, or a cult classic, they unpack the history behind its production and the people who made it, then discuss, review, and make fun of the movie itself. New episodes every Friday. Formerly known as Load Bearing Beams.
