In a slow news week, Jenn is making plans for her upcoming New Years Eve trip to WDW, while Dave is set for more Star Wars Legos.... plus picking up a copy of "The Good Dinosaur", which leads to a discussion of the chaos in Dave's media shelf and Phil Collins going super hard on the Tarzan soundtrack.
Then, going all the way back to "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", they put a spotlight on each of the seven known era of Disney animation - Golden, Wartime, Silver, Bronze, Renaissance, Post Ren, and Revival - plus, creating a new era for the latest batch of films.
They list their favorites from each era, some nostalgia with some, and even a few they don't care for as much ("Black Cauldron" alert!), plus lots of random trivia and Disney animation tidbits along the way.
