It's Animonth! Dan and Brian are spending September reviewing pre-1990, non-Disney animated features. First up, Brian tasked Dan with watching the "other" Tolkien trilogy, a series of animated features split across studios from 1977-1980.
In Part 1, Dan and Brian discuss Animonth, their history with Tolkien and his adaptations, and the colorful adaptation of The Hobbit from 1977 by Rankin and Bass (no Christmas songs in sight).

Dan and Brian have a lot to unpack this week on The Goods: the tradition of blockbuster family comedies, cartoon adaptations, Jay Ward, Brendan Fraser, and the Bo Diddley beat. Why are three children with a horse? Did Snidely Whiplash do anything wrong? Is the narrator God? Is Christopher Showerman a real person?
Join as they review three films -- George of the Jungle, Dudley Do-Right, and George of the Jungle 2 -- in an especially silly episode of The Goods: A Film Podcast.

Dan and Brian check back in on two franchises they'd previous reviewed, the first of the show's "Do We Gotta?" topic revisits.
First, Brian talks through the bizarre, campy finale to the Zombies trilogy of Disney tween musicals. Does the film bring proper closure to the supernatural racism metaphorical universe, or is it best avoided?
Then, Dan breaks down "Five Cream," the new Scream movie. They talk through the questionable villain revelations, the themes of toxic fandom, and overlaps with previous Scream entries.

Brian shares with Dan an epic-scale comedy from the mid-60's, a classic "roadshow" style film complete with intermission and pie fight. Join as they parse Jack Lemmon's all-in performance as the Professor Fate, the dated politics, and other memorable examples of the large-scale racing-themed movies. Dan recasts the movie in 2022, and Brian shares the film's prodigious personal influence on him.
