Boy, oh boy, darlings, have we got a treat for you!  This week we forgo our normal show format and sit down for an interview with the delightful Tami Stronach, oh, you know, just...THE CHILDLIKE EMPRESS from The NeverEnding Story!  We discuss the film with Tami, what she remembers most from her time on set, and her brushes with stardom.  We also talk to her about what she has been working on in the years since the film's release and what her life is like now!  Just like her character in the movie, Tami is an utter delight and an inspiration to keep on believing in the power of your imagination!  Join us, darlings!

That's an awfully long title for an hour and a half long movie about a cat and some dogs.  I mean...is the colon really necessary?  Only one way to find out, darlings!  Join your hosts this week as they revisit this live action Disney remake of a live action Disney property!  (That's right...there was an original in the 60s.  Disney sure know how to maximize their dollar, eh?) Homeward Bound features the voice talents of Don Ameche, Sally Field and America's Sweetheart himself, Michael J. Fox!  Join Dan and Chrysten as they discuss their deep love of Michael J. as well as whether this childhood darling of Dan's gets to live or die.  And never forget...Cats rule and dogs drool!

It's Christmas in May, darlings!  This week your hosts hold each other's hands and make their first foray into the world of horror/comedy with the 80s Steven Spielberg joint Gremlins!  Starring 80s cutie pies Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates, these two doe-eyed ingenues are terrorized in spectacular fashion by an army of scaly green lizard monkeys that multiply when touched by water.  Featuring the voice talents of Howie Mandel before he started annoying you on stupid game shows, this movie features some questionably adorable puppetry and some really gross practical effects.  Dan hates s**t like this.  So...this oughta be interesting.  Avoid sunlight and grab a midnight chicken snack and join us for Gremlins!

Picture this...Robert Redford. Sidney Poitier. Dan Aykroyd. David Strathairn. Ben Kingsley. River Phoenix. And James Earl Jones.  Wow, what a cast!  What's the plot?  Plot, you say?  Who needs a plot?  Look at that cast!  This week Chrysten and Dan watch Dan's 90's darling Sneakers.  Chrysten's never seen it and knows nothing about it except, "Gasp!  That cast!"  But will this darling "sneak" its way back into our hearts?  Probably...because that cast tho!

HAPPY 20 EPISODES, DARLINGS!  We celebrate by watching and discussing one of the most popular children's fantasy movies ever made with the most ear-wormy theme song ever written...THE NEVERENDING STORY!  Admit it, you're already singing the song in your head as you're reading this.  Good luck trying to get rid of that in the next 48 hours.  Join us as we watch the tale of sad-bastard Bastian and his magic book counterpart, Atreyu, as they battle the wilds of Fantasia in an effort to save childhood imagination and keep Dan and I from crippling boredom!  They only succeed in one of these...tune in to find out which one it is!
