GMWKS

We take on this new dragon movie to see if it slays.

This movie from the 92 had us waggin' our tails as kids. But, does it still deserve to play in the yard, or should it be put in the doghouse?

The newest Christmas Movie on our list this year, we wonder if this Amazon Original film is a gift or if it is a big lump of coal.

Holy Jolly Jingle Jangle merrily rolls along with the Christmas(?) classic (?) animated movie Balto. Join us and always special guest Annie as we put this dog through its paces. Is it a holiday-themed triumph or is the message dead on arrival? Hit play and find out!

Christmas time is here! And so is shopping for the next great toy. Nothing captures the chaos of searching for that "it" present like Jingle All The Way. But is this movie the gift that keeps on giving? Or are we done playing with this 90s holiday film?

We get spooky with one of the newest Disney live-action movies. This is take two on the franchise. Should it have stayed dead? Or will this movie become a scary good addition to the pantheon of family Halloween movies?

BOO it's Spooktacular! Our first spooky stop this month is at 1313 Mockingbird Lane with Rob Zombie's The Munsters (2022). It's the prequel to the iconic 19060s sitcom that brought a unique twist to the traditional American family. Did it leave us howling with delight, or was it as dead as Dr. Henry's cadavers? Hit play and find out...if you dare!

The cartoon that almost killed Disney Animated Studios finally enters our rotation. But does it stay there? As we knock on the door of Spooky Season, we dive into this cult classic and see if it deserves to be resurrected into a modern classic.

All aboard! This week we sat down with the Disney theme park ride-based Jungle Cruise to smell what The Rock was cooking up with this one. Emily Blunt joins and comedian Jack Whitehall tags along on an Amazon adventure with all the thrills, chills, and spills you'd expect. Is this a ride worth taking, or should it be decommissioned? Hit play and find out!

Puss in Boots hasn't had a movie in over a decade. So when we saw that he came back last year, we wondered if it was worth it. Did we find a film that could stand the test of time like Shrek has? Or did we wish that they would have let the franchise rest?

We've been talking about doing this movie for a bit. With the recent passing of Paul Reubens, we figured it was time. Check out our response to our first viewing of this cult classic.

With the introduction of Lindsey Lohan and a remake of a classic film, this movie is one that many consider to be a summertime staple as a kid. But, should it be? Or did we all get the ole switch-a-roo when we watched this film?

Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Heart? This week we took a trip to Element City for Disney/Pixar's latest offering: Elemental. Did it burn bright or drown quick? Did it soar or should it be buried deep? Y'all know what to do - hit play and find out!

Nothing says Summer like the ORIGINAL Summer hit! Some of us watched it as a kid, and some of us watched it as a kid and have never been back to the beach. Does the PG rating mean that it is a family movie? Or should you leave this film out at sea for now?

Summer is officially here and what better way to cool off than hanging out under the sea! Join us as we talk about the new Little Mermaid: the latest live action version in a very long line of live action versions of classic Disney films. Does it retain the magic and wonder of the original or does it flounder? Hit play and find out!

We are swinging through the multiverse with the return of Miles, Gwen, and a sorts of Spiderfolk in the newest movie in the Spiderverse trilogy. Jordan and TJ loved the first one. But does the second installment scratch the same itch? How does a movie build on something so stellar? Do we get bit by radioactive spiders? (We don't.) Give us a listen to find out!

Special guest Toby joins us again for a look back at a Disney movie about what happens when kids stop being polite and start getting real money! Blank Check is the Cinderella story no one asked for as we watch young Preston go from zero to not-so-hero with even more zeroes when he is gifted the titular blank check from a career criminal and uses a computer to fill it out himself only to buy a bunch of useless crap. Is the movie still worth anything or should've stayed buried alongside Tone Loc's music career? Hit play and find out!

We are roaring into the summer with the classic tale of dinos eating people. A tale as old as time....or the early 90s. We know it is a good movie, but is it a good family movie? We sink our teeth into that question on this weeks episode!

It's a shrink ray gun blast from the past as we sit down with this teeny tiny little movie from 1989. Rick Moranis leads an ensemble with some other people as the shrunken kids try to find their way back home in an overgrown lawn. Is this movie still as sweet as a giant oatmeal cream pie or should the memory die like Auntie (Anty?) ?. Either way, hit play and find out!

The sister of Sherlock and Mycroft takes center stage in this PG-13 teen mystery movie. Is this a killer hit for the older kids? Or should this case stay closed?

Jordan's back! While that might be all you need to know, this week we jumped in the warp pipe for The Super Mario Bros. Movie and are here to tell you if it's worth your hard earned coins. Is it a bright star for the future of video game adaptations, or did it simply hit us with a big blue shell? Hit play and find out!

Another guest joins TJ as we talk about a movie birthed from a book many of us Millennials read, HOLES! Our guest, Yasmin, has never interacted with Holes, and TJ doesn't remember seeing the movie. Still, does this movie about children digging holes in the middle of Texas strike gold? Or is it digging its own grave? Listen as we uncover this movie!

We continue on our guest host train with a fan favorite, Annie! We sat down and spent some time with a group of mice determined to save a little boy in the Outback. The Rescuers Down Under was Disney's first sequel. Was this movie special enough to kick off what we now know is a certainty for Disney movies - the sequel? Or does this film need to be rescued? Listen and let's find out together!

We've all heard of Dads being wrapped around their daughters' fingers, but what happens when they're wrapped around the joysticks? Fantasy Football asks that and so many more questions as it depicts a fading pro football player who, by stroke of dumb luck and lightning, discovers his Madden-loving gamer daughter controls him in real life when she plays as him in the game. We sat down with this work of digital voodoo to see if it's worth hitting pause on the game long enough to watch. Is it game of the year level, or should it be buried in the desert with E.T. on Atari? Hit play and find out!

We finish out the month with a movie that put Studio Ghibli on the map in the US. TJ remembers watching this movie when he was a kid and it has stuck with him ever since. But, this is Jordan's first time with the material. Is this cult classic worth the hype? Or does this movie fall flat under a contemporary lense? Listen and find out!

This week we try and warm up with the coldest jukebox musical: Happy Feet. It's got dancing penguins, slick covers, and a whole lotta snow and ice. Is this penguin march a foot stomper or an icy trudge? Hit play and find out!

Rabbit Season! Duck Season! OPEN SEASON!

We hop in our trucks and go the hunting grounds presented in Open Season, starring Martain Lawrence and Ashton Kucher, to see if this movie holds up against the test of time. As one of the first movies presented by Sony Animation, this was technically the start of what we know now as an animation powerhouse. Is this movie as funny as its leads are? Or should this one be stuffed and mounted? 

Okay. No, we don't like the Zombies movies from Disney. But, when we saw that they were finishing their trilogy, we thought we HAD to see how they wrapped it all up. And boy oh boy...well, listen to find out what we thought. 

What happens when you combine Dwayne Johnson, the DC Universe, and a bald guinea pig with abandonment issues? DC League of Super-Pets! We sit down with the latest animated superhero offering, as well as discuss most things DC. Does it soar with the greats, or  does it go down like a dog bowl full of kryptonite? Hit play and find out!

We kick off 2023 with Disney Animation's latest outing - Strange World. This movie came out during the holiday hustle and bustle, but a movie about family seemed like the perfect thing to get us started after our time away. Does this movie deliver Sci-fi splendor? Or do we find more joy here on this planet?

Wanna talk about classics? This movie feels like one of those Christmas movies that has staying power beyond belief. It airs several time throughout the season, the song - that came before the movie - is ingrained in the heads and hearts of millions. But, as we have seen before, just because something is tradition doesn't mean it is any good. Find out if we think this movie should light up your screen. 

As we move through the seasons, we are SMACK DAB in the middle of FOOTBALL SEASON! So, we decided it was time to come back to a classic from our childhood. Little Giants was a movie that was a touchdown when we were little. Is it a fumble in 2022? Let's find out together! 

We close out Spooktacular with a brand new Netflix original: Wendell and Wild! It's the creepy collab between Henry Selick and Jordan Peele (Key's there too), and we're here to tell you if it's a Trick or a Treat. Does the stop-motion goodness and unique story make for a ghostly good time, or should it have stayed below ground? As always, hit play and find out!
