Oh god, I can already hear Ryan trying to throw down.
I'm serious, you can't beat me when it comes to Disney knowledge. Just remember how quickly I answered all of the Muppets questions, but faster.
You know what, Ro, I challenge you to a duel of Disney knowledge. I have my white glove ready to commence said duel.
(Listening to the episode now) Ha, Ro. I can name practically all of the numbered Disney movies almost exactly in order of release. Also, Matt, the compendium Disney films of the 40's were not them trying to capitalize on the success of Fantasia. Fantasia was a colossal financial failure when it was first released, the films of the 40's were incredibly cheap to make and were made to just make as much money as they could because Disney was hurting for money.
It's true, I did teach him that - The reason it's called Hungry Jacks is because there was already a Fast food chain here by the name Burger King in Adelaide, and after a lengthy court battle, they won the right to the name, and Burger King had to change names to operate here, opening up as Hungry Jack's in 1971. Most of them are 1950s styled on the interior, with various memorabilia and other thematically appropriate shite hanging on the walls.
Random trivia - We also have the shadiest named fast food franchise, namely, Fast Eddy's.

Congrats?
I never said I was better than you. I'm sure you can probably name more and know more about Disney, but I can still hold my own.

I'm well aware of that because I too have done my studying on Disney as well. Ego-strokes aside, I know he made those package films because it was cheap. I left that part unstated because it would have bogged down the flow of the show and I wanted to quickly just say my piece. In all honesty, I'm pretty sure Walt (and his career for that matter) was never really the same after colossal failure of Fantasia because the fact that both the critics and the audience hated it really shattered him into pieces. I like to think of the movies I mentioned in the episode as further attempts at trying to make more "concert feature" type movies that would hopefully find a better audience (especially considering many of the modern pieces in Melody Time and Make Mine Music).
My offer of a delicious ham sandwich STANDS, Jason.
I am sorry, my friend. You were a little late to the table (with my sandwich). I already have commitments. This week's panel is Omar, Ro, Ryan, and Dimitri. As usual, we record at 8:30 p.m. EST.

Joe, you're quite the odd awesome old geezer.
Also, if that second recording taught me anything, it's that I need to broaden my sci-fi horizons. Damn.
We will always need to broaden our horizons when it comes to knowledge and geekery.
That was good fun. I'd be glad to get in on the next recording if you guys will have me back.

EDIT: Ah; I listened to the first episode again; it seems they're chosen from a large list.
I'm going to repeat something I said in tonight's recording, so it's on record in the forums: I claim the Pixar category, if there ever is any.
