*Content Warning* *Brief discussions of blackface and yellowface*This month, we return to post-war Metro Goldwyn Mayer to discuss the glamorous Technicolor extravaganza, Ziegfeld Follies. Friend Laria and I scrambled our way thru this behemoth of a revue, but managed to forget only ONE player's name. Basically, if you love queer films made for the straights, this is for you!You can write in at disneyreeltoreel@gmail.com or follow host Wyatt @goldenafternoon51 and @disreeltoreelpodcast on Inst...
This month, Christmas came early. Yes, I deviate from the timeline by 26 years, from Kansas City to Culver City, to discuss a hardcore fave, Metro Goldwyn Mayer's 1948 musical comedy, The Pirate. Joining me is the woman behind Gene Kelly's contemporary relevance, Patricia Ward Kelly. We cover everything of interest, such as his and Judy Garland's friendship, the deleted "Voodoo" number, and, essentially, the seductive rascal that is Gene Kelly, hot pants and all.You can find her via these lin...
This month, we fly off to Neverland with friend and former co-host of the Walt's New? podcast, Deborah Williams. Along the way, we provide a general overview of the Peter Pan story and the 1924 film, with tangents involving Brendon Urie, DCOMs, and my disdain for the 1953 Disney film (Screw Peter... unless we make him gay/YA, but still).You can find the show @disreeltoreelpodcast and host Wyatt @goldenafternoon51 on Instagram!Feel free to write in at disneyreeltoreel@gmail.com!

I absolutely had to put this out before the year of our puppet boy comes to an end. Friend Tasha and I made our way through this chaotic odyssey, and even began forming a list of the top corporate zaddies of past and present (Bob Chapek never made it in). After throwing tomatoes at the Dis+ remake, we end on a note of emotional resonance and lightly touch on the ways in which we dis/agree with the novel's take on morality and being a good person. ... Happy Holidays!P.S. Don't waste your time ...
This month, two animation legends enter the ring. Only one shall leave victorious... Well, history decided on a winner, but Miss Abigail (@onceuponafine) and myself may have different thoughts on who deserved the crown. Along the way, we discuss which Disney Princess we each identify with, the early lives and careers of Miss Reiniger and Mr. Disney, and Walt's near-mythical name brand legacy. This was all accomplished before the stroke of midnight. So strap in, besties! We bout to go from rag...
Birthday episode in the hizzouse!!!Joining me for this jam-packed SW extravaganza is fellow Dis fangirl, Ree (@lazyree)! We cover nearly everything pre-Disney, from the Grimms to lil' Walt as a 15-year-old newsboy in Kansas City, Missouri. All this passionate verbal diarrhea couldn't possibly reveal what my fave Disney film is...You can find the show @disreeltoreelpodcast and host Wyatt @goldenafternoon51 on Instagram!Feel free to write in at disneyreeltoreel@gmail.com.References:Denecke, Lud...
Our second adventure in the pre-Disney world takes us to 1908 France, where a princess lies in slumber for a hundred years. Joining me is friend Abigail (@onceuponafine), and we cover a looooooooot of ground in terms of the fairy tale's history, the life of Charles Perrault, and our own ideas for a modern Sleeping Beauty.You can find the show @disreeltoreelpodcast and host Wyatt @goldenafternoon51 on Instagram!Feel free to write in at disneyreeltoreel@gmail.com.References:Basile, G.

When this podcast was conceived, explicit material was not in mind whatsoever. But this month, Anni (@Of Mice & Princesses) and I talk SEX, DRUGS, and WONDERLAND. That's right; what started as a focused discussion on the 1903 Alice later dissolved into a talk about the 1976 X-rated movie musical of the same name. It remains a fun, informative time, but uh... just know we are not above adult content here at DRtR.You can find the show @disreeltoreelpodcast and host Wyatt @goldenafterno...
We come back with Disney's centennial flop... and boy, did it make a nose dive.

When a tale as old as time is retold... for the pedants of Cracked dot com. With the help of friend and @shoottheflick co-host Frankie Sparks, Wyatt trudged thru the swamps of 2010s live-action remakes. Boy, are you in for a wild ride.References:Abramovitch, Seth. “Original ‘Lion King’ Screenwriter Apprehensive of Remake: ‘I Wasn’t Thrilled with “Beauty and the Beast.”’” The Hollywood Reporter, The Hollywood Reporter, 3 Dec. 2018, https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/linda-wool...
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Long time no hear, but I return with the archetypal romance of 1950's Cinderella. With the help of friend/fashion historian Marley Healy, we break down the lewks of the Royal Ball, as well as the depiction of romance in early Disney films. In this case, it helps if your Prince Charming's a Christian Dior stan.

It may not be the end of the world as we know it. But with 2005's Chicken Little, we uncover an earth-shattering moment in Disney animation. It's a tale of corporate upheaval, creative fatigue, and artistic change which Raeley is poised to recount for everyone... to Wyatt's disgruntlement.References:Animation Compendia. “Chicken Little - Teaser Trailer #1 (March 30, 2004).” YouTube, YouTube, 4 Sept. 2022, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ymn_XI2GdU&list=PLfQnigF_xmZHXuz6_V-7nVIlG0qRZvGDM&...
Back at it again with the magic mirrors! Apologies for the runtime, but Dr. Bee Eldridge joins Wyatt to discuss the rivalry between Queen Grimhilde and Snow White.

Happy Halloween, daaaarlings! To celebrate this annual tradition, Wyatt and Raeley turn the clock back to 1929. We witness the birth of the Silly Symphony cartoon, the shady business practices of a Mr. Pat Powers, and share our thoughts on the best country music stars of 2023.

We (and by "we," I mean me, Wyatt) at Disney Reel to Reel love a good guilty pleasure movie. High School Musical: The Concert: All Access Pass is more than that. It's a time capsule, in all its uncomfortable, sparkly glory. Frankie Sparks of @shoottheflick joins me on this trip through 2006-2007 pop culture.You can find the show @disreeltoreelpodcast and host Wyatt @goldenafternoon51 on Instagram!Feel free to write in at disneyreeltoreel@gmail.com.Send us a Text Message.

The stars shine bright this Saturday as Wyatt is joined by fashion history writer, Marley Healy (@bastion_of_fashion), to discuss the iconic sequence in 1940's Pinocchio, where Ginger Rogers brings a doll to life and appoints little Fred Astaire as the doll's conscience. Well, that's my head-canon, at least.
