Grab your tissues and pull up on that yellow strap—J.B. and Eddie are back in the vault! After a brief hiatus, the duo returns to kick off 2026 by diving into the "not-so-great" years of Disney history with a deep dive into the 2007 emotional rollercoaster, Bridge to Terabithia.
In this episode, J.B. and Eddie share their first-time reactions to the film, exploring why neither of them saw it during its original release. They discuss:
Behind the Scenes: The unique connection between the film’s screenplay and the original book's author.
A "Slow Burn" Experience: Their thoughts on the film's gradual build-up of magic and imagination versus its heavy realism.
Heavy Themes: An honest look at the "layering effect" of the movie’s most difficult topics, from intense school bullying and parental wounds to religious confusion and, of course, that devastating ending.
Nostalgia & Trauma: How the film captures the raw, often "mean" reality of childhood in a way few Disney movies dare to.
Whether you're revisiting this childhood classic or hearing about it for the first time, join the guys for their signature blend of Disney nostalgia and therapy-session-level analysis.
Warning: This episode contains major spoilers for Bridge to Terabithia (and one very specific Harry Potter spoiler).
