#21: Palm Springs (2020)

Wednesday Nov 18, 2020
Well, we set aside some time in whatever month of 2020 it is right now to tackle the latest time loop movie to serendipitously drop in the middle of our very own societal time loop: Palm Springs! We discuss what sets it apart from other time loop movies, whether the science holds together, what we can learn from the Sisyphean paradox of being stuck in a loop and yet looking to the future, and what the hell is up with the dinosaurs. If you know, please tell us!

Friday Nov 13, 2020
We're keeping our Disney crawl going by revisiting (visiting, for Shaleila) the second ever release, Pinocchio! What are kids and parents meant to take away from it? What do Monstro and Pleasure Island symbolize? Why is it so damn dark? Why does this movie have THREE live action adaptations in the works? What's up with all the butts? We'll tackle them all!

We're burning our way through every Disney movie out there, and what better to tackle than their most recent release, available to all (who want to pay extra for it) on Disney+! Let us take you through the ups and downs of Disney's 2020 remake of Mulan, as we discuss family, honor, truth, and setting climactic scenes among drab scaffolding. Also, phoenixes!

Wednesday Nov 04, 2020
We kick off The Walt Discussions in proper form by visiting and revisiting (respectively) the movie that kicked off Disney's animation empire way back in 1937: Snow White. What did it take to bring a feature-length animated narrative to life in 1937? What makes for a deserving villain death? Is old animation boring? Why do the dwarves have those names? All those answers and more!

We're kicking off the first installment of "The Walt Discussions", our brand new sub-unit of AYSW where our resident Disney connoisseur Eric and our resident Disney neophyte Shaleila make their way through the complete Disney timeline movie-by-movie. We'll start at the very beginning soon, but kicking it back to the evergreen Mulan (1998) first in preparation for our review of the 2020 remake, up next. We're especially proud of this one, and we hope you enjoy!

Tuesday Nov 03, 2020
Here's something fun about your hosts: Shaleila has managed to avoid watching nearly every single Disney movie in existence in her lifetime, while Eric is a walking Disney encyclopedia with facts for days and trivia to rival any Disney Season Pass holder. Armed with the power of human wit and 1.5 Disney+ subscriptions, they'll dive into how exactly this rift in Disney knowledge has formed, and kick off a new series chronicling the full timeline of Disney Originals.
