Fun fact...James Cromwell's ringtone is him saying his most famous line. You know the one... "That'll do, Pig..." This week we watch the movie that made that line (and James Cromwell, for that matter) a part of the American lexicon: Babe! As a piglet, Babe is taken from a dreary slaughterhouse and won in a contest by farmer Hoggett. Babe, an outsider on the farm, is adopted by a family of sheepdogs and, in turn, starts learning to become a great sheep-pig in his own right. This sweet, family friendly movie about daring to be yourself in a world that constantly rebukes individuality is a 90s classic and was nominated for several Oscars. But will it pass the test of our incredibly judgmental hosts? Join us and find out! And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!
FINALLY breaking his very long streak of watching childhood classics that he never saw as a child, Dan suggested we watch the 90s family dramedy and Macaulay Culkin vehicle, My Girl. Excellent suggestion, Dan! Who doesn't love this movie? Dan Aykroyd as a curmudgeonly widower who runs a funeral parlor, Jamie Lee Curtis as the sexy make up artist who wins his heart, the aforementioned MAC as the sweet nerdy sidekick...and starring smart ass perfectionist assistant Amy Brookheimer (aka Anna Chlumsky, aka the former star of Dan's childhood romantic fantasies)! A delightful coming of age tale, with plenty of chuckles, tears and heart, this is one of those movies that you would cancel plans to stay home and watch on TBS. But will both Dan and Chrysten weep as openly at the demise of Thomas J as they did as adolescents? Join us and find out, darlings! And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, this week we have a very special guest on our show of shows...our very own fairy pod-father and the star of iTunes' LGBT Podcast Essential, Scream Queenz: Where Horror Gets Gay, Patrick Walsh! We are watching Patrick's darling, the oddly dark and very psychedelic 70s cartoon movie Snoopy, Come Home. Iconic Peanuts character, Snoopy, gets a letter from the little girl that owned him before Charlie Brown and he has to make the biggest decision of his whole puppy life! This movie traumatized Chrysten, Patrick and a host of Patrick's fellow childhood contemporaries. Dan, really keeping it on brand, has never seen it. But will this dramatic installment of the Peanuts series have the same effect? Join us and find out! And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!

We're back on that audience request tip, with Lindsay G (@poormanstinafey)'s darling and Disney live action/animated classic Mary Poppins! Neither Dan nor Chrysten grew up with this movie and neither has seen it as an adult, so...this is gonna be awkward. Starring legendary clarion soprano, Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke at his most bang-able, and two extremely wooden kid actors (one of whom looks like a tiny Toby Jones) this movie has a host of fun and whimsical musical numbers, animated fantasy sequences and a whole lotta un-necessary musical numbers as well. Like, seriously, can I get the first thirty minutes I spent watching this movie back, please? But will our two cynical hosts love this movie as much as Lindsay da original G does?
