Episode 644: My Favorite Summer... The Animation

What better way to close out an entire summer of top ten lists from across 8 different genres and 3 different movie roles than to look at the cartoons... the animated films! 

Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl jump right in with a look at each of their favorite films of the hand drawn and computer created fare. As you'd expect, lots of Pixar and Disney, but a little Rankin and Bass tossed in, plus Everything is Awesome, a little Cornholio, some smart rats, and a dying robot... only if you believe... in miracles.

Ep 612: Who Won 2023?

The new year has begun, winter is crashing around us, and it's time to reflect on what made our moviedom in the last year... and for the second time, we ask, Who Won the Year? 

While #XLessDrEarl is unavailable, yachting off the coast of Madagascar, filling in is the Pride of Stone Mountain Georgia, Young G Ryfun... after a little catch-up, including whether Garrison is getting too old to stay up for New Year's at midnight, they dive into for a few losers first.

Before the winners, who actually lost?  DCU? MCU? Disney animation? Pixar? Indiana Jones?

Then, the winners of 2023... Barbenheimer... former wrestlers... Emma Stone... FAST Films... Japanese Kaiju... and one goddess who shows up again. 

And... what we really think about Rachel Zeigler and the new Snow White adaptation.
