It's On The ListSep 16, 2020
S03E09 - Encanto
Happy 2022! Welcome to the first episode of the year and we are kickstarting 2022 with Jams crossing Encanto off her list! So buckle up as we discuss generational trauma (oh boy), representation, and the gorgeous music! Spoiler alert, we will most definitely be talking about Bruno because in the Curious Casita, we adore him.

S03E08 - Holiday Films: Elf & Jingle, Jangle
'Tis the holiday season and what better way to wrap up 2021 than to cross a classic (Elf, 2003) and a modern (Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, 2020) holiday film off of our lists. We chat about what we love about both films and the accidental Buddy connection. Plus, we discuss what makes certain holidays films a part of our annual watching traditions.
On a personal note, thank you for a wonderful year with us and your support of It's On The List. Wishing you and yours a safe and happy 2022! See you in the new year!
xo Roni, Jams, Rach, & Jen

S03E07 - London & Glasgow with Roni
What happens when you're deprived of wanderlust adventuring for almost two years? This podcast episode. Roni returns from her trip across the pond to chat with Rach about travelling in a different world and of course this wouldn't be a It's On the List without a tangent on the Scottish play.

S03E06 - Cabin in the Woods ft. Christopher Cruz
As it is the spooky season and we have been celebrating all things scary, we invited our dear friend Cruz (aka Totoro) to join us to talk about his love/hate relationship with horror and his thoughts on Cabin in the Woods, which he crossed off his list. Beware, this episode contains Cursing, Big Ghost Boobies, and Tangent Monsters. All the tangents. *rawr* Listener discretion is advised.
Be sure to follow the Cruz on Twitter (@NerdyCruz) and on Twitch (@feedmechurros)!

The nostalgia is strong as the ladies of NC each discuss their favorite 90s teen romantic comedies. On our lists are: Can't Hardly Wait, 10 Things I Hate About You, Never Been Kissed, and She's All That. How do these movies hold up today?

S03E04 - The Emperor's New Groove
We continue on the Disney train this month with Jams leading the episode as Roni, Jen, and Rach crossing The Emperor's New Groove off their lists!
Eartha Kitt. Enough said really. Rach will never forgive Disney for leaving Yzma's delicious song on the cutting room floor.
Fun fact: The Emperor's New Groove was not the original name of this project in its first iteration and in fact had a completely different story. You can read more about the film's evolution in this Vulture article and check out the unofficial documentary about the drama of the production between the creatives and the executives, The Sweatbox.

S03E02 - Quintessentially American & Canadian Comedies
Join Roni, Jams, and Rach (with an assist from Pixel Jen) as we share what we think are quintessentially American & Canadian comedies. In true Curious fashion, we go on a few tangents, but they led to some interesting discussions on acceptance, identity, and nostalgia.
How do you define being American or Canadian? Let us know in the comments. We're definitely curious to hear our international Curious Crowd on how they view our countries. And please check out all of the shows (and film) that we discuss if you haven't done so yet.

There are sadly many more names, many more that deserve justice. Black lives matter. Below is a list of resources that we have gathered. It's not comprehensive by any means, but it is a start.
