So...remember when you were a kid and your favorite TV show would sometimes have, like, a super famous guest on with, like, their own super special plot line and maybe it was, like, set in Malibu or something?  Well, those episodes were typically known as Specials.  So, darlings, get ready for a KYD Special!  Fresh on the heels of Earth Day and the Science March on Washington, we are reviewing three episodes of one of Dan's favorite childhood TV shows, Science Court!  And here to discuss those episodes with us is show creator and our new personal hero, Tom Snyder!  Mr. Snyder (creator of Comedy Central's Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist and producer of Home Movies) graciously joins us via Skype to discuss the three episodes we watched and gives us an in-depth interview about the show!  We also get the dish on his new audio musical podcast Is Anyone All Right? (The Musical), now streaming on iTunes and available on Podbean (https://isanyoneallright.podbean.com/)!  Seriously, you guys, Tom Snyder rocks (quite literally, he was in two bands with record contracts as a teenager!) and we were super-stoked to get to chat with him.  This is a very special Special not to be missed!

This week, our Twitter fan, Tina (@IPreferStories) offers up one of her darlings for the slaughter!  It's the classic tale of giant lizards are abducted by steampunk scientist with magic brain cereal, giant lizards meet boy and girl while on a mission to bring happiness to the children of the world, get recruited into terrifying goth circus and somehow this movie is for children.  Oh, Tina, what have you done...?  Featuring the voice talents of John Goodman, Walter Cronkite, Julia Child and Lisa Simpson, Dan & Chrysten watch and discuss We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story.  But do these dinos withstand the test of time?  Or have they gone extinct?  Join us this week and find out!

You're KILLIN' me, Smalls!  Our friend, Scott Corey, loves The Sandlot.  And we love making fun of other people's favorite childhood movies, so we invited him to come over and drink some drinks and watch this gem of a nineties movie with us at the ol' Casa de KYD!  This 60s set coming of age comedy stars a ragtag group of kid actors doing what they love to do too...sling insults and play ball!  But is this highly quotable film as warm and fuzzy as we all were after our first few rounds of drinks?  Or will this one wind up killin' us, Smalls?  Join us and our good friend, Scott, for this week's KYD Cast!  BATTER UP!

If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will!  This week our hosts, Dan & Chrysten, watch and discuss the animated movie that saved the Disney animation studio from ruin: 101 Dalmatians!  Featuring one of the most terrifying screen villains of all time, the fabulously attired potential puppy killer, Cruella De Vil!  Ranked #39 on AFI's 100 Greatest Villains, join us as we revisit this cartoon classic and see if Cruella still scares the ever-lovin' bejeezus out of us the way that she used to.  And do those adorable spotted puppies still melt our cold adult hearts?  Only one way to find out!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!
