In the season finale of our 1604-part series ranking every film on Disney Plus, Shawn, Bob, and Rob discuss 1961’s 101 Dalmatians. We’re taking a break for the summer, but don’t go too far. We’ll have a few surprises for you before we return for Season 3 in September.

Every few weeks we try to switch up the theme song for The Podcast Wore Tennis Shoes. For our episode on the film Master and Commander, I finally got to try my hand at a Sea Shanty

Ya’ll want to go for a ride? Let me take you on a journey called “The Starlight Barking”— Dodie Smith’s original literary sequel to The 101 Dalmatians.

SPOILERS FOR THIS INSANE PLOT

- The book opens with every living thing on Earth falling into an unwakeable sleep—except Dogs (that’s right, we’re going fantasy with this one).
- In addition to being the only living thing awake, Dogs discover that they can a) communicate telepathically; b) open locked doors and gates with their minds; and c) fly
- In response to this new status quo, Pongo’s daughter appoints herself Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
- Her first decree is to send a squad of elite Dog Assassins to murder Cruella De Vil (because they assume this is all her doing).
- They are shocked to discover Cruella was not the one that put the planet to sleep and gave Dogs the ability to fly
- Instead it was a SPACE GOD FROM THE PLANET SIRIUS. This SPACE GOD invites all Dogs on Earth to come with him back to Blisstonia/Sirius, known for its high levels of Bliss, and live with him because he just really likes Dogs.
- The Dogs think about it and then go “thanks, but nah”
- THE SPACE GOD THEN FLIES BACK TO HIS OWN PLANET AND THE BOOK ENDS.

Thus is the canonical sequence of events that follow the narrative of 101 Dalmatians.

In episode 72 of our 1603-part series ranking every film on Disney Plus, Shawn, Bob, and Rob discuss the Disney Channel Original Musical, Teen Beach 2. Yes, it’s another Rob pick. Le sigh. The good news is we’re going on a break soon so none of us will have to deal with another Rob pick for a while. Got any thoughts on Teen Beach 2? Let us know.

That’s a lot of Dalmatians

Little trivia for you: the tagline “Be afraid. Be very afraid.” was conceived by Mel Brooks—most famous for playing Paul Reiser’s Uncle Phil on Mad About You

Want more Mad About You trivia? You’ll have to listen to the new episode of The Podcast Wore Tennis Shoes. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

We’re talking about 1986’s The Fly in this week’s episode, but we don’t have the 1957 Pl***oy containing the original Langelaan short story.

So Commander Cody decided to read the closest “oh no! I’m a bug” he could find.

Hey! It’s a good movie. Finally!

In episode 70 of our 1595-part series ranking every film on Disney Plus, Shawn, Bob, and Rob discuss the ultimate Dad Movie — Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. It’s the last episode in our month-long Listener Request Week. Thank you Andrew for this week’s request! If you’d like to be part of our next Listener Request Week, get in touch!

In episode 69 of our 1595-part series ranking every film on Disney Plus, Shawn, Bob, AND Rob discuss 1991’s Hot Shots! — the prequel to Hot Shots! Part Deux. It’s like Airplane, without the comedy (i.e., Leslie Nielsen). It’s yet another Listener Request as part of our month-long Listener Request Week. (Thank you Don!) Want to take part in a future month-long Listener Request Week? Or disagree with our take on Hot Shots!? Let us know!

Update: I gave up on Moby Dick and switched to another nautical tale about a Great White Beast.

Still very few Napoleonic Wars though.

15/04/2024

In episode 68 of our 1594-part series ranking every film on Disney Plus, Shawn, Bob, and Rob discuss 1997’s Con Air. It’s yet another Listener Request as part of our month-long Listener Request Week.

Thank you Cody for this request!

And like so many films before, one of us liked it a lot more than the other two. Which one? Well... I’d say listen to this show but unless this is your first episode, you probably already know.
Want to be part of a future listener request week? Or think we got Con Air wrong? Let us know!

14/04/2024

This week we’re covering Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a copy of the Patrick O’Brian novel. So I pulled the closest thing from my library.

Spoiler: There’s fewer Napoleonic wars than I was hoping

08/04/2024

In episode 67 of our 1591-part series ranking every film on Disney Plus, Shawn, Rob, and Bob discuss the Disney Channel Original Musical: Descendants.

The Month-Long Listener Request Week marches on! Thank you for this week’s request!

Want to be part of a future Listener Request Week? Reach out and let us know what we should cover.

Or, if you happen to disagree with our Descendants take (as I suspect many of you will) let us know why we’re wrong.

Surprise! It’s another Marvel Minisode!

In this very special Marvel Minisode, Shawn, Rob, and Bob discuss X-Men: The Animated Series, and its new continuation X-Men ‘97. Yes, we are aware that these aren’t movies. That’s why this is the first episode in our spinoff series: The Podcast Wore TV Shoes! Will we ever do another? You tell us! As Captain Planet always says: The Power Is Yours!

25/03/2024

*sigh* Yes.. that’s the promo art of this week’s film…

In episode 65 of our 1588-part series ranking every film on Disney Plus, Shawn and Rob are joined by very special guest, Canadian Indie Folk Musician (Shawn William Clarke)! And they’re discussing not one but TWO Mr. Boogedy films: Mr. Boogedy and Bride of Boogedy.

You demanded it, we did it.
