New Pod is up now, this one about our favorite Disney movies, the animated kind. We brought in a couple of younger guest hosts to help us out on this topic as we knew this conversation would veer into the “childhood memory” lane often. Madison and Delainey Ahsbrook were happy to bring their pointed perspectives to this conversation and each brought a more contemporary view to these movies while RJ and Larry leaned a bit more toward the classics….no surprises there. Madison is actually employed by the Walt Disney Company and RJ once was as well, so it felt a bit like we had some insider access on this topic.
We also learned a few things about each other during this episode. One is that Delainey somewhat struggled to be heard over the cacauphany of noise we made during the recording of this episode. Two times she could be heard making statements that no one responded to; unfortunately, we’ll probably never know what interesting factoid she wanted to bring up during our discussion of Lion King. The other is that she stated three times that she never saw Sleeping Beauty never once getting a reaction from anyone!
The other thing we learned was that Robert has missed a LOT of Disney Amimated Feature Films. “I never saw that” could have been the subtitle to this episode!
Finally, we got some good background info on a couple of movies including a brief discussion of the story behind Mulan as well as Robin Williams impact on the color choice for the Genie in Alladin as well as what he demanded of Disney before agreeing to the role. You’ll have to listen to get more details!
You can listen over on our Podcast page or by looking us up in Apple Podcasts and Spotify podcasts.
Anyway, another movies-based topic for your listening enjoyment. Send us some feedback to podhostlarry@whatsyourtop5.com or RJ@whatsyourtop5.com and let us know what you thought of our choices and let us know your own!
