I'm on a Disney podcast. The reason I even thought I had a chance at making a one of a kind show is because for the longest time I could not find a single Disney podcast that analyzed the Disney films. I figured that since there was no Disney podcast out there that I knew of (or didn't bash Disney the entire podcast), I'd start my own. How I was ignorant to so many Disney podcasts I can't comprehend. Suddenly after I began a Disney podcast of my own, Disney podcasts flooded my twitter feed and iTunes recommendations. In a way, I'm glad I didn't see or listen to any before Talk Magic to Me. If I had, I may not have gone through with my idea and I'm so happy to have a podcast of my own.
End rant.
My recommend this month is The Disney Film Project and it is one of the podcasts that I came across on iTunes in the early weeks of summer. I listened to the first episode about Beauty and the Beast and immediately fell in love! Since then I have been catching up on all of their shows and always look forward to letting them help me get through the work week! The show is hosted by Ryan along with Brie, Rachel, and Todd. I've only listened to early episodes thus far (I just got to episode 90 although I haven't listened to all 90 episodes since some films the hosts discuss I have not yet seen. The reason I say this is because I listened to their most recent episode, Holes, and there is a host I am not familiar with named Rachel so I am assuming she came onto the podcast and Brie left. I guess I will find out!). The show is produced by Cheryl who also puts in her two cents during recordings! The group is a lot of fun to listen to!
The show is a five star spectacular! Each host and guest host has their own unique take on the films and facts that will always hold your interest. The conversation can get into some really deep and critical territory which I love. I have a great deal of respect for the hosts because many people treat Disney films as below them or containing zero intellectual value which is completely not true and these hosts seem to feel the same way. They look at these movies and their history and compare them to other stories and the company's history and point out all the little nuggets the creators place in their films and I enjoy this very much. It's great to hear people breaking down these movies and seeing them for what they are because a film made by Disney doesn't make it necessarily bad or necessarily good. It is a film that is just as valid as any other film. There are times when the audio isn't the greatest but the way I see it, if the content is good than I will listen through thick and thin.
I would highly encourage every Disney fan (or any film buff really) to go and listen to this show. It is a lot of fun and a great way to get a weekly fix of Disney awesomeness. Check them out at the links below.
