Zach enlists the help of return guests Tyler Maybee (Podcaster,’Pop Culture Brews’) and Matthew Merback (Actor and Film Critic, ‘The Bipolar Critic’) to break into the Disney Vault and unearth the many laughs and lessons found in the story of the struggles and triumphs that faced the Walt Disney studios during the 1940’s!
The boys find themselves swirled in a madness that beats any Motor Cor Mania a Toad could ask for. So get ready for a Fun and Fancy free time as you hear the boys learn about how the failures of larger artistic efforts pushed the studios into safer waters, analyze the impact that the animators strike had upon the studios history going forward, break down the many package features produced and how they stand against other Disney classics, and appreciate the noble attempts of the films made following Walt’s trip to South America.
