Revisiting the Vault

Enjoy some audio from the back of the vault!

About a year ago, we sat down to watch the first full trailer for the new movie Wish and recorded our impressions for Patreon. We made a few predictions, almost all of which have already been proven wrong. Mary spends entirely too much time trying to figure out where the film is set. But mostly we just talked about how much we enjoy the color palette and the music, and of course, Alan Tudyk...

"Cats are just agents of chaos."

Thanks for sticking with us through our unofficial hiatus! Fall is always a busy time for us, more than usual this year. But we're back!

Finishing up our discussion on Lady and the Tramp from 1955, we're digging deep into the personalities of different dog breeds, #JusticeForTrusty, and the evolution of voice acting...

"Uptown Girl With Dogs"

We're traveling with the leash and collar set this time with 1955's Lady and the Tramp. We talk about the gorgeous Victorian style home that Lady lives in with its rugs on rugs, what this story has to do with James Dean, and remind you that no matter how cute that scene is you should not feed your dog spaghetti...

"I want everybody to get eaten by the crocodile."

We're still stuck in Neverland, and kind of wishing we could just grow up instead. We are talking about the depictions of the few women in the film, the thoughtless racism inherent in the story, and we give you a few films to consider watching instead of this one.

If you're not a patron already, you should that out...

"He has opinions on the Boer War for sure."

Second star to the right and straight on to a real mess. Listen, if you love Peter Pan we aren't going to blame you if you skip this episode. Because we're going to talk about Edwardian sexism, blatant racism towards Native Americans, and how the crocodile is the real MVP of this movie. We did not have a good time in Neverland. We're not sure the Darling children did either...

"A Series of Antagonistic Moments"

Sorry about the delays, a Mad Hatter destroyed our watches. Or maybe we were just stuck in a never ending tea party. Either way, we're shifting our schedule a little bit going forward to try to get back on track. Look for new episodes on Fridays from now on!

This time though, we're still stuck in Wonderland...

"Please Don't Lick Mushrooms"

We're late, we're late...actually, we really are. Sorry about that, we were trapped in Wonderland for a bit. It's time to follow the White Rabbit and talk about Alice in Wonderland from 1951. Our conversation has about as much of a coherent structure as the film itself: we talk about voice actors, Victorian children's fashion, how to draw cats, and more...

"Can we talk about pockets?"

We’re still in love with Cinderella, and all of the great music and adorable mice that come with it. This time around, we discuss several favorite adaptations of the story, very large feet, baby crazy kings, and more about the history of women’s pockets than you can fit in a modern woman’s pocket...

"She is everyone's favorite grandma and she makes the best cookies in town."

Have you gotten your invitation to the ball? Because we are ready with some discussion about gowns, marriage, and the benefits of being kind to mice. It’s time to talk about the 1950 Disney classic Cinderella, and if you’ve been waiting for us to stop being so cynical and picky then you’re in for a treat because we loved this movie...

“Like four trillion people go through that place every year"

We're going to Disney World!

Well, Gretchen is going back this summer so in honor of her trip we're bringing you a bonus episode where we talk about our memories of the Disney parks, our favorite rides, the food, and visiting with kids...
