RTM 271 - Brother Bear (2003)

Tell everybody we're on our way with 2003's Brother Bear. Can the music of Phil Collins strike a second time? Does this movie handle bears better than Brave did? And why is the Wolf of Wisdom such a doofus?

RTM 270 - To Be or Not To Be (1983)

Mel Brooks heils himself in 1983's To Be or Not To Be. A remake of the 1942 film of the same name. We compare both films. And find out why this remake never reached the comedic heights of the original.

RTM 269 - Frozen II (2019)

We journey Into The Unknown with 2019's Frozen II. How could Disney follow-up on the runaway hit that was the first film? Was this film The Next Right Thing? Or did it leave us Lost In The Woods?

RTM 268 - The Absent-Minded Professor (1961)

Happy New Year! We kick off 2025 with some old school Disney, 1961's The Absent-Minded Professor. A rare black-and-white Disney movie. Will the power of Flubber raise this film to great hights? Or should this be forgot in days of Auld Lang Syne... Insurance.

RTM 267 - The Sound of Music (1965)

The hills are alive with 1965's The Sound of Music. One year after Julie Andrews was practically perfect as Mary Poppins, she does it again to tell the story of the Von Trapp Family Singers. A story of love of family and country as the 1938 German occupation of Austria happens around them.

RTM 266 - Jingle All the Way (1996)

Merry Christmas! We're dashing through the stores trying to find a Turbo Man toy with 1996's Jingle All The Way. Does this still hold up as a satire of the over-commercialization of Christmas? And what do an unmade Planet of the Apes movie and a plagiarism lawsuit have to do with this?

RTM 265 - The Lion King 1½ (2004)

As Disney releases their Lion King prequel, Mufasa, we dive back into the direct-to-video movies to look at the first time they attempted it. 2004's The Lion King 1½ shows how Timon and Pumbaa met as well as their adventures alongside those of the events of the original film.

RTM 264 - While You Were Sleeping (1995)

There are many Christmas-themed romantic comedies, it's time we discussed one. 1995's While You Were Sleeping features Sandra Bullock at the height of her "girl next door" era. Does this succeed where so many other holiday romcoms fail, or will this leave us in coma?
