Dusty Plus: Exploring the Dark and Dusty Corners of Disney Plus

Episode 78--Jingle All the Way

Kristine and Bill tackle 1996's Schwarzenegger vehicle "Jingle All the Way." COME for the weird intro sketch that is basically what gets us into this movie! STAY for Bill confusing the bands Sleater-Kinney and Rilo Kiley! WRAP YOURSELF IN important financial figures regarding both movies and holiday toys.

Episode 77 -- Olaf's Frozen Adventure

A lot about snowmen and traditions--surprisingly little about the Mediterranean Monk Seal! Bill and Kristine talk the not terrible, but disastrously marketed and placed, "Olaf's Frozen Adventure."

Episode 76 -- A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa

It's a bite-sized episode for a bite-sized movie, as we watch a Christmas special from the Muppets dark ages, just three years before Jason Siegel came riding in to save the brand. Celebrity cameos, utterly forgettable songs, and all the Muppets things you're used to except for the heart! Come be kind of vaguely sad with us.

Episode 75 -- Babes in Toyland

What. A. Week! We're back right on schedule with a new episode, on the 1961 film Babes in Toyland. Also, we're learning a new space, so we're sorry for the not-great audio quality! But please join us as we discuss a truly weird, why-does-this-exist sort-of-holiday classic.

Episode 74 -- Heavyweights

Fat kids at fat camp, but their fatness isn't the joke, and that's so great! Also Stiller and Meara, and Paul Feig! Kristine and Bill visit the weird Judd Apatow Disney comedy they missed in 1995, "Heavyweights," and reminisce about a summer camp life they themselves only sort of ever had.
