Pretty cut and dry folks, as Scott, Lisa, Jeremy and Max are joined by Mike Scott (Action For Everyone) and a newbie guest, visual artist, horror nerd and Disney music fan Shondrel Ortiz, all team up in a packed episode to discuss all things Moana and Evil Dead Burn. Among the more specific topics of discourse…
* Everyone picks their favorite onscreen musical number (not just the best song) from a Disney animated feature, and then later picks their favorite Evil Dead kill.
* Mike Scott notes the lack of romance in Disney’s recent animated films.
* While most agree Dwayne Johnson is near the end of his run as a butts-in-seats headliner, Jeremy Fuster argues his next batch of post-stardom roles could be every bit as interesting, if not more so, compared to his more commercial flicks.
* Everyone talks s**t (and talks shop) about where Disney does or doesn’t go in relation to further live-action remakes of Mouse House animated features.
* The very French Evil Dead Burn and the challenges in selling funny horror…
* Everyone takes their shot at predicting where The Odyssey might end up at the end of its domestic opening weekend. Everyone agrees that the film is trading a best-case-scenario opening for longer post-debut legs.
* And more!
