Light bearer named Leary that wants to take your kids on trips. This is where the actual beginning of Mary Poppins Returns starts. Ask about Illuminati sister charting. Is it Disney mind control? Is this MK Ultra Deluxe? I go this day we go from meal to meal I go this day keep me moving no more feel A cook is there Ask her about to move. A co business teacher call to everybody. A co Disney. A wish upon a star A co Disney. You know, got to justify. Oh, a co Disney. Hello, welcome to the Occult Disney Podcast, where.

Oh, my God, she’s coming back. Mary Poppins Returns. It does sound like a good horror title. I still got Scary Mary stuck in my head. The. The fake trailer. I guess that makes the original look like a horror movie, but, yep, we’re talking about it. Matt here, paranoid American there. I’m rambling to myself. You can ramble now. She’s back and she’s more evil than ever. And seriously, this movie solidifies my belief that Mary Poppins is one of the greatest Disney villains of all time. And I don’t mean great in that. Good. I mean, like, one of the biggest Disney villains of all time.

Yeah, I have my. My final note here is. Is Mary going back to hell now? Because. Because she just kind of vanishes and goes off into the sky and, you know, hell can be above. Can it? Well, she is. So I assume that she’s going back to continue her consort duties. And the. The devil in here is. Who is a devil? I don’t know. Let’s get into it or whatever the guy’s name is. Yeah, see, I was gonna say his name and then. Lynn. Lynn Manual. See, I can’t do it. I have to look it up.

I. I know him, you know, but every time I have to look up his name, it’s depressing. Lynn Manual or Manual? Lynn. One of the two. Yeah. Mary Poppins return. See, I don’t even have the thing. What am I doing? I’m not prepared here. What am I doing today? Lynn. Lynn. It’s Lynn Manual. No, it is. I just ended up looking at the page for the original Mary Poppins. Not this one. That was the problem. Lin Manuel Miranda. Okay, there we go. If I really thought about. I get there. But. Yeah, I’ve never seen Hamilton. I don’t trust.

Popular in Japan. Japanese didn’t care about Hamilton. I don’t trust people with two first names, and I don’t trust people with three names. What if there’s one? Three first names? How do you about. How do you feel about Sting Prince and Madonna together. I think that that works fine. Oh, if you use all three names. So there’s a three name. My name is Sting, Prince, Madonna. Okay. That. That works. Yeah, I think I. That works. You would get a pass. All right, so, yeah, I. Having just watched this movie, I think I just have to throw it out on the table that I’m.

I’m not a Mary Poppins fan. I think we talked about. It was a while when we did the first movie, but I was like, that was my first viewing of the first movie when we did it. And somehow this has just never made it into the DNA of my. Of my anything. So the first time we watched the original Mary Poppins, that was the first and only time you’d ever seen it. That’s right. I did grow up seeing Bedknobs and Broomstick several times, which is weird because we watched that movie and it was boring. So I.

I don’t know how that happened, but, yeah, I’ve never seen Mary Poppins. I’m not a Mary Poppins fan, but I do think that it’s superior to Bedknobs and Broomsticks, even though some broomsticks has Nazi skeleton soldiers in it. That’s pretty cool. But there was so much boring between the. And then. Oh, yeah. Julie Andrews would not make a cameo in this, so they ended up getting Angela Lansbury instead, which is I. Who is. She was in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Right. So that was kind of a weird, like, you know, sideways move for a cameo. Fun trivia note, too.

Angela Lansbury’s daughter was one of the very first Manson girls, but she didn’t stick around. Right. She got out before. While it was still. She got pulled out. Yeah. Angela Lansbury was paying attention to her daughter’s life and was like, I need to get this girl out of here. Okay. Good for her. Good for paying attention. I mean, it was. It was an early episode of Murder She Wrote. It was Lanceberry saves her daughter from a murder cult. But I do find it fascinating. Maybe it’s because I’m a boy. I have no siblings. I don’t know.

But Mary Poppin just never entered my development. Whereas a lot of Disney. Disney stuff did. You know, I’d seen plenty of Alice in Wonderland. I’d seen, you know, Pinocchio, Fantasia, plenty. But I just had never seen Mary Poppins until after Mary Poppins Returns came out. I think I’m. I’m on that same page. Except I. I think I saw it growing up when I was babysitting and the family was like a Disney family. So they had, like, all the Disney movies. But yeah, maybe there’s like, a gender aspect to it. I think it’s just a little bit dated.

And even when we were growing up, I think it was a little bit dated. And in fact, funny enough, it just recently, last year, the original Mary Poppins got upgraded from a G rating to a PG rating because of one of the lines that I pointed out in the first movie. Can you guess what. What might have happened to get it a pg? Oh, that was, like, three years ago. You’re just gonna have to tell me. It’s because when they come out of the chimney and they’re all covered in soot, the next door neighbor goes, we’re being invaded by Hottentots.

And then he, like, arms the little battle station. But it’s derogatory reference that they look like black people because they were covered in soot. But then also the word hot and taught. Apparently, if you left the theater and you started saying hot and taught out in public, it might cause problems. So for that specific reason, they upgraded it to a pg. Like, this is within a year or two ago. Okay, that’s fine. And I probably mentioned this when we did that episode because I’m like, oh, I learned about that word from, like a Bloom county, you know, comic strip.

So I guess that’s offensive now, too. I think it always was. I think that was. Yeah, that was probably the point of the comic strip. In the early 80s, you just shouted out. Or in the 60s, you just shout out. Nobody cared. But not. Not now. So I went on a little bit of a tangent. You originally were asking if I was a Hamilton guy. No. Nope. Don’t like musicals. Especially not rapping. Colonial era musicals. Definitely not my thing. Yeah, I’m not a big musical guy. Weirdly, I’ve seen more operas live than musicals, which is strange because I actually like opera less than musicals.

But I found myself in three operas and two music. Oh, no, no, no. I did the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure musical. I’m now three for three. Okay. I can’t. I mean, if I had to, I actually went and saw Book of Mormon, which I think is a. Like, a great musical. That one I would. I would go and watch again, even, because it’s sort of comedy mixed with musical without trying to be silly in the music part. It’s really hard to describe. The only other musical that I think I like are Spinal Tap and the movie Rockstar with Marky Mark.

Okay. I am okay. The director of this movie actually is a pretty big musical guy. He did Chicago the musical, the film version of Chicago. He did like the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie. That’s kind of weird. I. I think he. Let’s see the kind of recent cab. Oh, excuse me, that’s actual theater. He did that in. No, I’m thinking of someone else. But yeah, he did Chicago, so he definitely has. And he did the, the quote unquote live action Little Mermaid, which wasn’t very good. But I, I think I’m at least to the point where I can separate myself that I don’t necessarily have to enjoy the movie if it’s a musical, but I can still pay attention and see if it has merit or not.

Yeah, well, we’ll get into this one. One thing, how did you feel about the animation in this? I think that it looked like Disney Channel style animation. It was very lackluster. The green screen was a lot, very dated. Even some of the 3D perspective shots, they just seemed both over engineered but also under delivering. Yeah, I wonder if it was kind of a. You know, because the last properly 2D animated film was Winnie the Pooh, which at this point was seven years earlier. So I’m wondering if some. And they hadn’t done the. I’m just like the original Mary Poppins blended live action and animation better.

Roger Rabbit certainly did. And here. Yeah, it kind of looked like oil and water with a combination. The original Mary Poppins pulled it off better than this one. I agree. And, and it might just be, you know, like skills atrophying is. Is my case because the actual animation is like, oh, it’s Nice to see 2D again. The designs look cool. The animation itself looks cool. It’s not melding with the images on screen. I. It’s hard because that’s the only real reason that this is in our list is because it had some semblance of animation. So I think we’re allowed to be a little bit over critical on it.

So yeah, this one does not hold up especially in terms of its animation. So then you have to hope that it holds up on either the musical aspect or the story aspect. Well, the music again, I don’t really like. I mean, you know, call me a negative Nelly or whatever. Right. I’m just not into the songs from the original. So these could be perfect follow ups and I still am not going to like them that much. And to make it even better, runtime is over 2 hours. As soon as this pulled up and I looked at the Runtime, and I saw 2 hours and 10 minutes.

I kind of let out a little bit of a sigh like I died inside a little bit. Yeah. Last night. That’s the thing. I’m like, I have the time to watch this. I was telling you, I’ve been working. You know, I had early work days. So I actually have, like, more time than usual at night to watch this. I have plenty of time to watch them. I was like, you know, two hours plus. That’s not, not number one on my evening. I mean, I wasn’t like, bored to death or anything watching it. Just Mary Poppins is not my cup of tea.

Yeah, I, I, maybe I want an Indian tea. I don’t know. I want some. Georgia, maybe you just need some more sugar to cram down some of that medicine. Yeah, I don’t know. I tend to avoid sugar. I lost a lot of weight by not drinking any sugary drinks anymore. I got these weird young Diet Coke things. I don’t know. Those are probably bad for you in a different way. That’s the first thing that Mary Poppins does, though, is that she tries and push Rockefeller medicine on these kids and sugar on top of it. So legitimately, I think she is one of the worst babysitters in cinematic history.

Right next to maybe Christina Applegate. No. And they have her, you know, gaslighting just as hard in this as she was in the first. It’s like, would she do just go to hell for 30 years and come back looking exactly the same as, as the kids from the first movie point out? Right? So she just shows up to screw up your children, traumatize them a bit. These kids are definitely a little bit traumatized too. It took me a more than 10 or 20 minutes to realize that the kids don’t have the mom and dad. It’s actually the brother and sister.

And I was like, man, this brother and sister is starting to get real cozy with each other. Well, dad. Dad was the dad, right? Mom’s gone and then mom’s dead, so aunt is there to fill in as the mom proxy. But yeah, they are, they are blood siblings there. It’s, you know, so it’s not like, oh, you know, my, my wife’s sister. It’s like, no, it’s my sister. Right. So if they’re getting too cozy, that’s, yeah, not, It’s a little weird too, that they went this angle of like, these are the original kids, Jane and Michael Banks, grown up now.

Just because I believe it was the original Michael Banks, that in real life Moved to India and contracted like HIV from doing heroin or something and died. I hope I’m not making that up. Well, I, I was gonna say, did these kids really grow up? Well, from their experience with Mary and well, they’re doing better than the actors. I, I do remember us finding something dark with that actor the first time we, we went over the. That’s pretty dark. Yeah. So Mary Poppins, it turns out that putting your kids on drugs and sugar does not do the best for them in the long term.

Yeah, what is it? They’re losing their house because they just haven’t been paying attention to their finances. And hey, I’m someone that doesn’t pay attention to finances because I don’t want to. So I guess I get that. But. Yeah, well, the dad works for a bank though, so you would expect him to be a little. Have a little more accurate. Oh, we’re losing the house tomorrow. It’s like, how do you get to that situation? Well, the whole premise of this movie is that they’re going to get kicked out of their house because they can’t prove that they own it, that they don’t have the deed.

And spoiler alert, it’s because the son had cut it up and used little bits of the original deed to put on his kite so he could go and fly and kite. So the kid basically makes the entire family homeless temporarily because of course at the end everything comes back together. But man, that kid probably got a severe beating for almost having his entire family get kicked out on the street. They don’t show that part in this movie, but I’m pretty sure it happened. Yeah, especially in the, the 30s. Is it that that was one thing at first I was like, wait, is this maybe that’s, you know, watching from 2026, you’re like, what’s the same time period? Like? No, no, it actually is like what, 20 or 30 years later.

But the modern eye, I guess picking out 1906 from 1936 is not necessarily obvious from the get go. Well, here’s another big difference. Also a little bit dark if you go into it. But there’s no more chimney sweeps anymore. Now I’m just going to call him Hamilton. It’s so much easier now. Hamilton, instead of being a chimney sweep, he’s a lantern lighter. And part of me was thinking, okay, it’s a progression to show that maybe time has been elapsing. But also if you looked into the origins of chimney sweeps, that gets dark too. Because it turns out, you know, who fits really well in tight Little spaces, the clean out chimneys.

Children, you know, who ended up dying a lot inside of tight little spaces. Children. So maybe Disney pivoted slightly away from the chimney sweet aspect just because of that. Who knows? Well, that’s al. I mean, I assume that is like a legitimate, like progression from early 20th century to mid 20th century, you know, and after, you know, 20 years later, the lantern lighters are going to come out. Who, who’s. Who’s in the next Mary Poppins? Is it a electrician? I don’t know. Yeah. There’s so many Disney movies now that we’ve seen that revolve around child labor, like dangerous child labor.

All of the different Snow White and the Seven Dwarves movie date back to actual children being forced to work in mines. The Pinocchio Pleasure island thing dates directly back to Italian or early, I think 19 or early 20th century Italian. Like anti fascist movements where kids were getting shipped off to like work camps. And then even in the original Mary Poppins, chimney sweeping in this one. And there’s so many more. But it seems like a very consistent theme that Disney sort of glorifies these professions in which children were being killed just like every single day due to work conditions.

Yeah. I don’t know why I wrote the note. Children with British accents don’t actually have souls. Maybe I was trying to go with the South Park Japanese people don’t have souls thing, but I had a soul. Similar note that just says it’s not 1970s anymore. Let’s get over British accents and Disney movies. Yeah, yeah, that might be part of it. I got a few prisoner vibes. Maybe it’s because Robert Warner. So I think I just said his name wrong. David Warner. Excuse me. David Warner shows up as the ship’s captain. Right. He’s. He’s on that weird.

He’s just like on his big ship outside, which was a thing on the TV show the Prisoner as well. So it’s just kind of like. That’s a, that’s a weird. I don’t know if that was a specific reference. I also like seeing that one from the first Mary Poppins because that was the hot and tot guy. Oh, that is a hot and. Okay. I, I was blinded by the David Warner. And also, yeah, I did not go back and watch the first Mary Poppins. I am going on my. I watched it one time three years ago.

Memory of that one. So this one too kind of just starts where you’re expected to know who Mary Poppins are. You’re expected to know who Jane and Michael Banks are. Which is kind of weird, right? Because it’s been like 50 plus years since a few moments for James Jane and Michael Banks. But I, even for me, who didn’t grow up with this movie, I mean, we all know who Mary Poppins is, so that. That’s not a problem. We now know her as Emily Blunt in this one, which obviously that’s a difference. How did you feel about the.

The Mary Poppins shift for I. I wondered if she swore as much behind the scenes because that was one of the fun bits of trivia is that in the original Mary Poppins, everyone was concerned that Dick Van Dyke the drunk was gonna just be saying horrific things around kids the entire time. And it turns out he was a pure angel. And it was Julie Andrews. It was swearing like a sailor the entire time. So as I’m watching this one, I did imagine that it was Emily Blunt now swearing like a sailor between cuts. Double surprise too.

Dick Van Dyke the drunk is showing up on screen here at what, like the banker with a heart of gold at the end? It’s fiction. He was like 92 when they did this movie. I think he just turned 100. So, yeah, I guess you can be a wild man in the 60s and make it out okay. Good for him. And collecting royalty checks on the same movie series separated by over half a century. Of course, there’s other people or I, I guess the 50s and 60s Hollywood living didn’t do them so well because, like, yeah, Richard Harris, he was so old when he died.

Oh, he was only 72. Oh my God. Because if you watch those first two Harry Potter movies, Dumbledore looks like he’s 300 years old. That man is only 70. So, I mean, I guess it goes to show that you can, you can be a raging alcoholic for decades and still live to be over a hundred years old. Oh, I just. This is dating the podcast. Whatever. I just happened to come across the. The trailer for the new HBO Harry Potter thing. Have you seen that? The Black Snape series? Yeah, that one. Well, I, you know what? I watched the channel.

I didn’t even notice that until I looked at the comments. What I noticed, it was just like this is. All the designs are the same. They’re just making the same thing again with different actors. It. It’s like, like I thought they at least, you know, tweak the designs or something for things, and they didn’t. I mean, I think it’s, it’s because it’s the same Disney formula of weaponized nostalgia. You just re release the same thing. And even if it’s not as good as the original, it’ll just prompt you to reconsume the original all over again. So now parents bring their kids, or I guess they sit at home and watch it on Netflix or wherever it’s at with their kids, and then they say, oh, this isn’t as good as the original.

Here, let me show you the original. And now you’re. You’re double dipping. Now you’re rewatching all of the original Harry Potter movies back to back to back. Well, one of my co workers brought up, too. It might also be the fact that J.K. rowling just wants actors in the lead roles that don’t talk crap about her. By the way, I. I love listening to Daniel Radcliffe would talk crap about J.K. rowling. That’s great. Love it. So I. I think that it’s noble that whenever someone actually gets to the position in life where they have FU money, that they actually say the fu part.

And yeah, I. I do like a lot of the. The more modern Radcliffe parts. The Lost City. He’s a great villain in there. Do you see a weird. The Weird Al Yankovic quote unquote biopic? That was great. There’s also the one where he’s a dead body on a beach. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. So, you know, plus pluses to his. His more recent career. Emily Blunt. I guess we have to get back to her since we are talking Mary Poppins Returns. What do I know her from? Mostly I think it’s all you need is kill, live, die, repeat, Edge of Tomorrow, whatever we’re supposed to call that movie.

But that’s not Tomorrow, which I actually didn’t hate that. Yeah, Groundhog Day with Tom Cruise and Robot Max and aliens. Exactly. Yeah. I usually think of a Starship Troopers, Groundhog Day. She’s in the Adjustment Bureau. She’s in Looper. Okay, I’ve seen those. Into the woods is a big one, which I have not seen. Oh, that’s another Rob Marshall. Same director. That’s why. Isn’t that also another Disney? Oh, no, that’s a Robin Hood or Red Red Riding. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Into the woods is produced by Walt Disney. So, yeah, it’s another musical, of course, because I guess Rob Marshall’s a big music guy, musical guy, which.

Which he is. Anyway, a little bit against her just because I’m not a fan of Mary Poppins to begin with. So it’s not like her. Her portrayal of Mary Poppins doesn’t really sell it. I just want to say, clearly, if you’re not a fan of the original Mary Poppins, I really don’t know if Mary Poppins returns is the thing that. That puts you over the edge. Yeah. I mean, again, for me putting this on last night, I was like, oh, God, I gotta do Mary Pops for what, two hours? How long is the original? The original’s not actually that short, though, because it’s a lot of live action.

The original is 139 minutes. Oh, it’s longer. Okay, so this one’s actually shorter than the original. So if you watch both Mary Poppins, there goes five hours of your day. Correct. Well, slightly under, but maybe you take a break in the middle. I don’t know. You should. You get. You get a. You snort some chimney dust between the movies or something, and you dance with penguins for a little while. Dance with penguins for a while. I almost had to give up a penguin. I had a little plush penguin on my guitar case. And a kid was like, getting obsessed with, hey, I actually will let them take it away.

But they forgot about in the second half of class, I sold my penguin. The first one is all about her taking these kids out downtown and jumping into a big chalk painting and blowing their little minds. And then as soon as they come back, she gaslights them. I did go back and re watch that scene just to make sure that I remembered it correctly. And 100. She gaslights them. And the beats in the new one are the same, aren’t they? Like, it’s the exact same thing. And in fact, that she even does a nod to the original movie.

She says something about, oh, those things when we were young, that didn’t really happen. Or did they? And she’s talking about with Jane and Michael Bangs. So that’s still like this inside joke that, hey, remember how I gaslit you? Yeah. Isn’t that still funny like that? I’m gaslighting your kids. Or nephews or nieces. Time to come back. First, I’m gonna gaslight your kids. So let me go ahead and drown them in a tub upstairs. And I assume that that’s the premise of this movie, is that we’re watching the final visions of these children as Mary Poppins slowly drowns them in the tub one by one.

But we have the living banks from the previous movie. Like, your theory’s fun. I’m just like it. It seems like, at base, kind of flawed with. Well, how so? I think that this is actually a pretty solid theory. It’s solid that I like it. That’s the problem yeah. Jean’s dead. Michael’s now alive, and Michael. Hey, Michael. Is losing control of the house because the kids. And Mary Poppins comes in to solve the problem. She’s your insurance fraud scheme. Plus murder. Okay? I think so. Because Michael has lost it. He knows that the kids. He doesn’t know which one, but he knows one of the kids and has ruined all of their lives.

And instead of putting up with this even more as his constant reminder, he has Mary Poppins come in and kind of finish the deal. What did you break growing up in your house? What did I break? Yeah. Were you the kid that broke? Everything I got. I got blamed for something that I did not break. But there was a huge glass table in the living room in one of these. The houses that I live, that and I had, like, a few friends over, and we were playing Super Mario or something on the classic nes. And as everyone’s standing around playing this, the table just shatters.

And my parents ran in, and everyone was in trouble. Everyone had to go home. I got yelled at, and no one touched the freaking table. I think it was just, like, a temperature fluctuation. But to this day, I still take heat for that. Yeah, I probably locked the key in the car a few times, like, once on a camping trip. That’s not good. Window out, too. And how to go to the emergency room. Oh, okay. Now, just thinking, like, my daughter never really broke stuff, to my knowledge. And now, hey, she’s in possession of my casino guitar.

So, you know, trust her, that stuff. But Scott, who. Who’s been here a few times, I just remember when. Especially when his kids were younger, like, every other week, like, another piece of technology would be destroyed. So by accident. I don’t think his kids were being hellions. They were just, I don’t know, being clumsy. I mean, that’s the easy rule that each time technology breaks, then you get to live another 10 years in the past. And if you break that thing, it’s another 10 years to the point where you go back to school and you know what a VHS player is.

And then the other kids do, well, hey, I just got. We got a new car last week. And, you know, it’s like, no CD player. I’m like, I have a bunch of CDs. I want a CD player. What’s up with this? So, yeah, and it’s got the thing where it, like, wants to. The car now wants to, like, be friends with your phone. I’m like, no, I don’t want these things connected. So I have a smart Car now. It’s annoying. I’ve. I think that you can actually get a Mary Poppins voice for a lot of the different smart car apps.

So I guess there’s no. I don’t want that. Well, my voices are on Japanese too, so that’s kind of fun. I get Japanese Mary Poppins. Yeah. I assume that this gets dubbed like any other movie does. I wonder what the Japanese, Japanese Mary Poppins sounds like. Probably about the same. I mean, just do they. Do they make the kids scream like Japanese kids usually do in animated movies? Probably. Here’s the thing. Sometimes, like, my daughter will really want to see a movie because it’s like, oh, in the dubbed version, this voice actor I really like did the dub.

So there are like, you know, kind of. We. I don’t think we have them so much in. In America because we. We don’t like them foreign movies. So we don’t need to dub no movies. But yeah, a lot of other countries will have kind of like star voice actors. Okay. No, I like that. It was like, if you told me, hey, there’s this really obscure Japanese movie that’s in English now, I’d be like, okay. But then if you were like, and Gilbert Gottfried is doing the voices, then I’d be interested. Right. Like, Mayjay was a J.

Pop star who. Who did Elsa in Japan and was extremely famous in Japan for doing Elsa. Where Obviously in America from Frozen. Obviously in America. No one would know or care. So. So what did you think of the rap songs in this movie? I go, I mostly got stuck on Tripping the Light fantastic because Paul McCartney put out an album by that title in the late 80s and I just kept thinking of that. Every time they say it, they say a little different. Here. I phrased it like the McCartney album. This one phrases it slightly different.

With Tripping a Light. The. I was just giving someone crap yesterday for phrasing something wrong, so now I’m doing it incorrectly. I’m doing a real bad job finding notes today. Okay. The. The rap song that I was thinking of is something about a book cover. The book is not the COVID I think that was the name of it. Or the COVID is not the book. Can be. If you put text on the COVID and he go. He goes into like a legitimate Hamilton style rap for the portion of this. And I guess if you went into this and you’re a fan of Hamilton’s work, then you probably end up really liking this little bit.

I didn’t. Okay, again, this isn’t a review or anything, but I just thought that it was a really. A strange show. And also while that song is going on, Will Miranda Hamilton. And then Mary Poppins jumps up on stage, and now they’re both, like, singing and dancing together, and the freaking kids that they’re supposed to be watching get up and wander off like. This is literally the only reason that Mary Poppins is in the picture, to keep track of these kids. And the second that she brings them to this alternate realm, she immediately loses track of them.

That’s the alternate realm she. She was hired to keep track of them in the normal human world. Okay, all bets are off. By the way, I. I don’t have specific information I was looking for because my Internet has inexplicably stopped working, although we’re still talking, so I guess that’s cool. But. Well, here you mentioned that the tripping the light fantastic, and that’s probably a majority of my notes, just because the imagery and the. The lyrics of the songs that were going into this and just the origin of the phrase itself. So I kind of have a whole.

A whole breakdown of what all of this means with the tripping the light fantastic means, especially in the context of this Mary Poppins movie. Is she loose for. Is she a lightbringer? Okay. Anyway, I should pass you the. The podium for that, because I’m curious, because that is. That’s the phrase that stuck in my head the most as well. Right. Okay, so. So let’s just get a few ground rules straight. Rule number one, Mary Poppins is a witch. Are we in agreement on this, or do I need to. I think we agree. I think we agreed with that in the last movie, and that’s been stuck.

Okay. For anyone that’s on the fence. She descends from the sky. She appears when summoned. She commands the elements. She can carry impossible objects. She’s able to suspend the natural laws of physics. And then she initiates children into hidden knowledge and. And then tells them not to tell their parents about it. Those are all things that happen in the first two movies. And you can call that magical if you want, but functionally, on paper, that is a witch. She is a witch, and she’s doing witchcraft. That seems pretty straightforward. No? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, again, I.

I had seen the scary Mary fake trailer like, 10 times before I saw the actual movie. So. Okay, so then part two, which is the part that I’ve already harped on a little bit, but that she literally is framing medicine as something that children should be trained to accept. If it’s got enough sugar in it. So not only is she a witch, but she’s also a Rockefeller medicine plant. So that’s kind of two for two. And in the very first one, she introduces the children to Bert the chimney sweep. Right. Dick Van Dyke and the chimney sweep.

He kind of represented this occult nature. It was like shaking his hand was lucky because again, if you survived as a chimney sweep, then you’d be lucky. And also because it was related to sort of bringing light into darkness. And I guess the natural evolution of that is now we’ve got Hamilton as a lantern lighter, who is a literal light bearer. Right. That is what he does. He is a light bearer. He is a lightbringer and he’s. His name happens to be Leary. And he’s talking about taking these kids on fantastic trips. So I just feel like I want to go on fantastic trips.

A light bearer named Leary that wants to take your kids on trips. This is where the actual beginning of Mary Poppins returns starts. So. Well, we had the idea last time that the chimney sweep and maybe all the chimney sweeps were, you know, magical creations by. By the witch, which is Mary Poppins. So that would put Hamilton in this, in the same ballpar. Right. Well, I, I think what she is, what Mary Poppins represents is a medium or like a conduit. She’s like a liaison between going and procuring kids for these occult magicians. Right. So she’s sort of like the madam.

She’s like the Ghislaine Maxwell of the occult world. And if you need kids for whatever reason and you’re doing light bearer stuff or chimney sweep stuff, she’s the one that’ll go out and get those kids for you and then bring them into this other realm. Where do you think she has been for the past 30 years? Because they do make a big deal. You look the same. And we’re adults now. I mean, I feel like weird magic realm. You know, when in Bewitched, whenever the mom would just like blink out of existence, or she’s like, okay, I’m gonna go to Paris now.

And she would just like be there, or she could just sort of be in the ether. I think that’s it. I think Mary Poppins can just sort of blink into the ethereum. Yeah. No, I’m just wondering if she blinks since like 30 years later. If she’s immortal, why would she care if it’s 30 years later? You know, I don’t think she cares about any of these kids again. She. All she does is procure things. She’s kind of like the finders. Yeah. We don’t quite know her. Her base purpose. You know, we don’t. We don’t know the agenda behind her.

Her scheming, I guess. Well, she’s a recruiter. I think that her. The main reason is that she recruits normies into the occult world. And she, for whatever reason, it starts with kids. And then the role that Hamilton plays in this one, the Light Bear. There’s a couple lines in the song of Trip the Light Fantastic, which stood out to me almost like night and day. So, like, the first one is that there’s a line where he says, be your own illuminary. And this one is really interesting because you wouldn’t be your own illuminary, you’d be your own luminary.

Luminary would be like a star, right? Or something that puts out light. There’s no such thing as the word illuminary. There’s luminary, there’s not illuminary. But the word that he says, and it’s in the subtitles, is illuminary. So now we’re talking about kind of be your own illuminated one, not be your own source of light. And as small and tiny and pedantic as like the semantic difference between those two. I think it makes all the difference in the world because they intentionally put in a word that doesn’t necessarily exist and only seems to have one connotation, which would be like self illumination.

Well, while we’re. While we’re doing semantics, let’s look back at the title itself, because both you and I want to be Trip to Light Fantastic. That’s. That’s in the Haram song, right? All that sort of stuff. The actual name of the song is Trip a Little Light Fantastic. It’s. It’s slightly different than the phrase we’re familiar with, which. And then you’re talking about little differences. And the word little is the little change to the title. Here’s another direct quote from the song. In this movie we mimic the moon. Yes, that’s our aim. So again, like this concept of teaching children to worship the false sun.

Right? To. To worship this reflection of a son, which would be occultism. This is like worshiping under the full moon, I guess, with a light bearer and with a interdimensional demon that consorts with the devil. So this is what the two kids are doing. And then they mentioned there’s a. The song gets into. Were keepers of the flame. And this is where all the learies come out. And the learies are all the different light bearers. Well, Keepers of the Flame is actually a reference that I believe Alice Bailey came up with. And if you’re unfamiliar with Alice Bailey, the Lucifer Publishing Company, which was then renamed to the Lucius Trust, but the original name was Lucifer Publishing Company, and they came up with this concept of these keepers in the flame, which were a group of ascended masters, which later got attributed to a maybe fictional, maybe real guy named Saint Germain, about these, like, sort of deities that have servants on Earth in order to keep them as these ascended masters up in the sky.

Doesn’t Saint Germain have disco hits or something? That sounds about right. It’s all. Well, he’s also the head of the Great White Brotherhood, which they don’t reference by name in this movie. Probably just because it wouldn’t sound as good. Well, what it. What is the. What is the animated world of Mary Poppins, then? Is. Is that like, you know, because if we’re calling Mary Poppins from hell or something, that would make the animated world hell, I think that it’s just you’re in perpetual state of stupor from hensbane, which is basically a scopolamine. So I think that when Mary Poppins goes back into her other realm, it’s basically she takes a massive dose of scopolamine.

She’s just tripping balls out there. Okay, so she’s been tripping for 30 years. Yeah, 30 years of tripping. The other reason I mentioned the age thing is, obviously this one’s like, Mary’s right. As you remember her, everyone else’s age. There was sequel talk right after the original because it was a massive success where, you know, they were going to up to 20 years later. They’re like, well, Julie Andrews can still be an older Mary Poppins. One weird thing is, like, maybe after the whiz or something, like, well, Michael Jackson could be Burt in the new one, which I.

I do want to see the 80s. Mary Poppins with the older Julie Andrews and Michael Jackson as bird. And Dick Van Dyke still could have been in that one too. Yeah. Why was Michael Jackson be burned? Dick Van Dyke was perfectly available in the 80s. I imagine he was, what, diagnosing too much murder at the time. I don’t know. They swap out Dick Van Dyke with a black eye and somehow he still gets lighter. Yeah. Really? Yeah. In the 80s for sure. Although I didn’t specifically see that the 80s is when that was projected to happen.

But I just see, like, for a few decades, they were trying to get Julie Andrews back. They were thinking of Michael Jackson. One point. I’m just I’m connecting those dots a little bit. I feel like it would have to be post whiz. Right. You know what? I’m kind of glad that they didn’t involve Michael Jackson in this, because I really do think that what happens. The kids in the Mary Poppins movies is dark, and Michael Jackson doesn’t need any of that shade on him. Like, for, for example, at the end. Other movies for that. At the end of the trip in the light fantastic.

What was the one about the rat, Ben? Anyways, Tripping light fantastic. The very last segment, which I think is. Is even more insidious than anything else in this movie, is that now they teach the kids how to speak in a secret coded cipher language that adults can’t understand. And they basically tell them, you don’t say the words. You mean they’re talking about, like, cockney slang A little bit. But what they’re truly doing is they’re teaching these kids how to speak in euphemisms so that they can openly talk about this occult knowledge that they just got revealed to them by Mary Poppins in the spirit realm.

And if they talk about it in front of normies or in front of adults, the adults and the normies won’t have any idea what they’re talking about. So, like, this last bit of teaching kids to avoid adult supervision through coded language, again, it just like, stacks the deck a little bit against Mary Poppins being a good person. I mean, I remember in high school, my friends and I would. Our conversations were probably like 90 Simpsons References Kind of the same thing, you know? I guess so. Although you were probably talking about Simpsons phrases in school and, like, after school and doing normal things.

We’re talking about you got kidnapped by a black sorceress who taught you about illumination and Gnosticism. And now it’s like. And don’t talk about this in front of your parents. That’s a little bit different than Simpsons references with your friends in school. Yeah, we just had a photography teacher really wants to listen to Thunderclap Newman. So, okay, and then. And then, just to put a feather in the cap of this trip, the light fantastic, it comes from a really old writing by John Milton from Allegro. And in this one, tripping the light fantastic specifically meant going into an altered state of consciousness.

It wasn’t just like, you’re dancing and you’re having a. A fun time. It was a literal enchantment. So the very premise of trip light fantastic, and then one of the people that was heavily inspired by John Milton’s original phrase for that was William Blake. And William Blake ends up illustrating this con, this concept of mirth. And mirth is based on that original Trip to Light fantastic by Allegro. And then William Blake is one of the. The most occultist writers of his era. So you’ve got like all these deep occult direct references to trip the light fantastic, the self illumination, and then.

Hey, kids, don’t tell your parents about what we did today. Yep, yep. Keep it to yourself. That’s. We’re going here. I’m just. I mean, name something that a kidnapper would do that Mary Poppins hasn’t done. I don’t know. She doesn’t break the children’s fingers or anything. That we know of. Yeah, that we know of. Their fingers seem okay at the end. So just since you brought up the question, she could break him in cartoon World. Yeah, that’s fine. In the cartoon world. I don’t know was. How dangerous is the cartoon World Again? I mentioned Roger Rabbit.

Think of Toontown. And there is extremely dangerous for humans. If. If you die in Mary Poppins worlds, do you die in the real world? Is it like Matrix rules? Do the ducks or goose or whatever eat you afterwards? I don’t know. They’re vultures. They are. And. And there is an. An actual kidnapping in this movie, right? Not just from Mary Poppins bringing them into this alternate realm, but once they actually get there. As she’s off gallivanting on stage and rapping with Hamilton and forgetting that she’s literally there to be watching over these kids, Georgie wanders off and he ends up getting kidnapped.

So now we’ve actually got a classic Disney proxy back in the works for the first time in a few movies. It seems like. Well, he’s double kidnapped at that point, isn’t he? Yeah, he got kidnapped within a kidnapping. This is almost like an Inception kidnapping. Yeah, it’s 2018. You gotta get a little, you know, a little more. More concept going in your stuff. And he gets kidnapped by cartoon characters. Boys in the cartoon world. Of course he does. But it’s all funny. What was that again? The Roger Rabbit. Why. Why did you only get out of the handcuffs now? Because it was only funny now and then.

Here’s another weird part, is that after he gets kidnapped, he starts freaking out and she. They basically like wake up and she tells them that none of that actually happened and that you can’t lose what you’ve never lost. And then she asked them, do you ever lie awake at night between the dark and the morning light, searching for things you used to know. Looking for a place where lost things go like this. Sounds like a hypnosis. She’s using NLP to essentially erase these children’s minds. Doesn’t she tell us your prized possessions are all fake or something like that too? She, she is really dismantling these kids understanding and faith in just the material objective reality altogether.

Right. She breaks down their old reality and constructs the reality she wants them to have on top of that. And then lies about it constantly, which is. It still blows my mind that that, that is the most constant theme. That Mary Poppins will reveal an entirely new reality to you and then lie to you about it immediately afterwards. I can’t believe a word. Figure out why there was something. I was thinking about why maybe people like you and I don’t have this in our blood as much growing up. Maybe it was the lack of ride. You know, you put it in the park and that sort of solidifies it as a Disney thing where Mary Poppins has never had like a, a full on theme park attraction.

When they opened Florida, I think the original idea was to do all the dark rides for different movies. So there would have been a. Instead of Peter Pan, it would have been Mary Poppins. You know, you would have been like a giant umbrella or something. But they didn’t do that is to the same one. So those movies get kind of like double shoved into the national consciousness. And this one is, you know, not forgotten. It’s a massive success, but maybe doesn’t quite carry because they didn’t put in the parks. I still struggle to figure out why she is seen as this kind of good guy that would get her own ride.

Yeah, well, I mean think about the original Snow White ride which we mostly still have in Tokyo. That’s mostly just the witch screaming at you. So you know, it’s not like that’s a heroic ride. But who, who like let’s say the first movie. Who’s the villain in the first Mary Poppins movie? Who’s the villain again? I’ve seen the scary Mary trailer too much. Of course it’s Mary Poppins, right. So I’m like the worst person to ask this. I’m like, I’m like more entrenched in this view than you are. I think she’s the bad guy. She’s the bad guy in all the different Mary Poppins movies.

Even in the second one when the kid literally gets kidnapped, she is still the bad guy. And somehow she is seen as. She’s obviously not a princess, she’s be a witch. So are there any other good Disney witches? Does Elsa count as a witch or a mutant? I don’t know. We haven’t gotten to Frozen 2 yet. Maybe we’ll talk about that later. I. I guess that’s a good point. Yeah. But, I mean, in the first movie, Elsa is definitely seen as the villain by the people within that movie, even if the viewer of the movie doesn’t see Elsa as the villain, which they pulled off pretty well, because by any narrative structure.

Yeah. She should be the villain. Right. And it kind of works. There’s also the musical number with. Is it Glenn Close that’s in this dressed up as Meryl Stre. Meryl Streep. Sorry. Very. I confused him all the time. Yes. So, yeah, Meryl Streep is essentially a bohemian, like, sister of Mary Poppins or cousin of Mary Poppins that moved to France to do opium and have sex with Turkish men. Yeah. That’s what Mary should have done instead of messing with children, I feel. Is Mary Poppins and her sister really just gypsies? Well, that takes away from the witches, though, doesn’t it? I don’t know.

I think gypsies do hexes and stuff. I think the. The. The line between witch and Gypsy is a thin one. And by the way, I know there’s, like, a derogatory version of Gypsy. That’s the one that I mean. Oh. Oh. The other reason I was bringing up the rides, because we’ve got, like, the Beauty and the Beast ride, and if you go back to that podcast, I’m pretty sure I had a lot of slack, you know, did not. I don’t like that movie that much. I don’t like the Stockholm Synd drum of it all and stuff.

Love the ride. So that’s. So it’s like, I now have this little affinity for it because I like the ride, you know, don’t like the movie. I like the ride. The bad guy in that movie was Belle’s dad. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. He sells her off to the. To the Beast. Yeah. Which I don’t. I think they leave that out of the ride. The ride. You’re just in a giant bowl, and it’s in this giant room, and it’s swing around. And you’re always thinking, man, if I wasn’t in this ride vehicle, this would be, like, the most dangerous room ever.

And then it just, you know, has all the animatronics and stuff. Yeah. It’s weird. The ride is basically three giant rooms, and you spend, like, three minutes in each room because it’s just like dancing around the room. It’s a pretty cool ride. This is one of those trackless rides, right? Correct. Yeah, yeah, but you’re in a massive bowl. Like the bowl holds like 14 people and there’s like six of them in this giant room. So. And they’re all like moving around quickly and wobbling back and forth. So even besides the ride itself just the mechanics are so impressive that you’re half paying attention to that, not the ride.

Well, I mean, speaking of cool trackless rides, with all this like latest technology, watching this movie, it was also kind of a reminder of. Man, you really had to make do with having fun. Like for example, fun for these kids is literally running around in circles and doing cartwheels for most of the movie. And this is them having the time of their lives. And maybe, maybe we’ve lost something, right? Because I can’t imagine even when I was younger running around in circles and doing cartwheels wouldn’t. Wouldn’t have cut it for me. At a certain point I needed to play my Game Boy at a certain.

I mean it depends on age too. How old are these kids? I have no. Somewhere between 4 and 14. I don’t know. Yeah, exactly. It’s a little. Anyway, I’ve, you know, just in the past week I’ve watched 4 year olds have a fantastic time running in circles for 10 minutes. So it happens. I know when I was in the first grade at my elementary school, I had a grand old time deciding a big. A giant bush was a spaceship inside. So you mean like, like Spaceship Earth or. No. What was Mission Earth? Space. Yeah, that’s. That’s the one that will make that people vomit after.

Or they were. They originally had to change it because the first few people had some like long lasting effects afterwards. Like brain contusions or something. Yeah. Now you choose the, the red team or the green team. And if you do the green team, they don’t spin you around, which I guess is the big problem. And that is an unpleasant ride though. It’s kind of weird that it’s still there, but whatever it’s like. And then we talked about. It’s like the mission to Mars ride. It’s like why did. It’s got Gary Sinise. It’s like why. Yeah, weird.

And it’s still running today, I think. Well, they’re overdue for an update now that we’re doing moon missions again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it’s that it is a Mars mission in that, in that ride. So you got to up Those stakes a bit. Anything else you want to roll off on on this film? I I this one, I, I, this is one of those podcasts where I’m just like, I wake up. I’m like, man, I only. I kind of only halfway remember this movie. I got to read the plot again. And this one just doesn’t excite me.

Sorry for Mary Poppins fans out there. I’m not on Team Mary. You know what? Even if the movie itself didn’t excite me, I feel so vindicated. I feel like this one gives just way more ammo and proof that Mary Poppins is a bad guy. That her entire role. Again, the first movie, she immediately introduces the kids to a drunk chimney sweep and then to her drunk uncle. Right. Like that. Those things actually happen in. In the first movie. And in the second one, she introduces them to a literal Luciferian and then tells the kids to lie about what they learned to their parents afterwards.

So there’s nothing, there’s no redeeming qualities of Mary Poppins that I can come across. And I feel like in the third one, she’s literally going to rip their faces off and eat them like frazzle drip. Okay, well, maybe she’s fun. Is she fun? It’s like when you date crazy, you know, crazy’s fun. You just. It’s not sustainable, that’s all. Would you consider Hillary Clinton fun? I didn’t date Hillary Clinton, okay? I’m just sitting here thinking about dating crazy. And no, she wasn’t. No, she was never fun. She was always, you know. Yeah, I don’t know. I really don’t think Mary Poppins is fun.

I think that she’s kind of terrifying. She puts you into different situations that make you face your mortality again. The. The portal in this movie is drowning in a tub. That you only enter this alternate reality after she pushes you down under the water into this tub. Yeah. Also, I understand it’s because we’re making a movie and blah, blah, but I’m like, it is weird that these kids are all taking a clothed, closed bath. And also, if. If you’re like, the parent or you’re in the mundane world, are you sitting there thinking, like, man, they’ve been in that bath for about 2 hours and 10 minutes now, and it’s been completely silent up there.

What’s going on? Time warps. That’s why Mary Poppins is still in her, like, early 30s or whatever. So does that mean that if she keeps the kids in that alternate realm, then they also don’t age? So if they Stayed there long enough, they could pop back out and everyone’s old again. Like interstellar. Correct. Okay. Actually, yeah. Correct. Correct. That must be the case. That’s because otherwise the parents would notice and the lies wouldn’t matter, would it? No, seriously, you were in there for two hours. What the hell? So that. That’s my theory is that she’s introducing these kids to the occult, and in this particular movie, she brings them close to death.

I guess it’s kind of like. Like scanners a little bit flatliners. Flatliners that explodes. That’s right. Okay, well, who knows? I mean, it’s anything. Three. Wait for three. To popping three scanners. Groundhog’s Day. She’ll do a little nod and then their heads. But it’s already almost 10 years later now. Now, if you use Emily Blunt again, you do have to go with older Mary Poppins, don’t you? I don’t know. With. With not just AI, but with just Botox. I don’t think that it would be that big of a problem. Then get Paris Jackson Bird. The new Mary Poppins just hangs the kids over a balcony.

Y. She does have some balcony hanging energy, doesn’t she? Oh, there’s a little bluebird out there. Okay, this Mary, too. With Emily Blunt as Mary, she is a little more kind of aggro. Julie Andrews, I guess, was able to dance a little more of a line where it’s like, is she too much? Where Emily Blunt actually does kind of seem like, I am doing this. I am a little aggro. Good. That’s actually a really great point. When Julie Andrews did it, it wasn’t obvious that she was a bad guy. In fact, it’s. It still has trick.

The majority of people still think that the original Mary Poppins is a good guy. In this one, though, with Emily Blunt, you can tell that she’s got, like, a nefarious aspect to all the things that she’s doing now. It does come across, as I mentioned, dating crazy. It’s almost fun if you’re in your 20s and having a wild time. Right. So that. That. But yeah, it is. You don’t want to leave your kids with her, and she just hangs out with a bunch of gay guys that dance and sing all the time. Oh, well, okay. That then.

So she’s not a witch. She’s a hag. Yeah, I guess. So do what she wants. But yeah, construction wise, because they. They the idea. This movie is like, oh, we really Mark Scheiman and whatever did the soundtrack, and we really don’t want to be coy about it. We just want to like continue the vibe of the original, which I guess they do with the one depressing bit, of course, being that Disney’s traditional animation skills have atrophied. And this, this is just that that’s the sad thing about this movie. You’re like, oh my God, if they can’t do this anymore, then yeah, they, they’ve lost the skill.

Part of me kind of appreciates though that this isn’t the movie that, that they made a comeback in. Like, if anything, it shouldn’t be the Mary Poppins Returns in which Disney improves their real, real life animation, you know, 2D live action combinations. I think that it’s more fitting that this one’s a little bit sloppy and messy. And also this one has like a tint of like an amateur theatrical play going on. I mean, the, the entire trip. The light fantastic ending song sequence, it feels like a 20 minute song. And they bring out the guys on like ladders.

Like they do things that you would normally only see in a live play, but they do it sort of like here on the screen. It did have a reprise which, you know, makes it. There was. It kind of went away for a while and then came back. So it felt like it never left. Yeah, well, you gotta have your big, you know, musical blowout at the end, you know, which, I mean, this compared to like An American Paris. No, but whatever. I, I, part of me wishes that they should have just leaned all the way in and had this all be Hamilton rap the entire time.

Like, like every song was a rap song, but like, you know, like a, a Disney theatrical rap song for parents and children still set in the 30s. Yeah, sorry, you’re starting to make me think of on Mr. Show when they have Rap the Musical, which it was for the boomer, so it has an advertiser, absolutely no rap music. And they’re just singing about rap. They’re singing musical songs about rap. Bob Odenkirk is singing a song as a giant gold tooth. See now, now I’m imagining if this movie had Bob Odenkirk instead of Hamilton. Yeah. Or as the younger Bob Owen Kirk as, as a, the father, as John Banks or whatever.

That’d be fun too. So I don’t know, put, put Owen Kirk in any movie. I don’t care. So I, I do think that now I don’t think he can sing though that might be a problem. This one has completely shaped whatever Mary Poppins 3 ends up being. I’m going in with a Chip on my shoulder, do you think? I don’t see a Mary Poppins 3 though. This movie was only, like, mildly. I think it did okay, but it, like, underperformed. Oh, there we go. My Internet’s working. I can give you numbers on that. It took a while.

Let’s see how much one. I’ll go. Oh, my God. When I look at the production budget, 130. That sounds big, but I am getting the point where I’m like, 130. Well, I don’t know. Mission Impossible in Indiana Jones, like 300. This movie’s cheap water world did not go towards the animation in this one. I don’t think it did. Made 340. It made 350. So, yeah, it wasn’t a failure by any means, but it wasn’t a runaway success either. So I wouldn’t hold your breath for Mary Poppins 3. Yeah, but that’s only if you assume that Disney’s motivation is money.

But I still do think that they’ve got bigger things at play here. Like, of course turning profit is good, but they also want to keep this, like, IP fresh in the minds of, you know, your kids and then their kids. I could have seen Mary Poppins three hitting like, three years ago when they were. When everyone was really committed for some reason to let’s put original stuff on streaming. I think everyone’s finally starting to realize, oh, that doesn’t actually make money. So. Well, I don’t know. I don’t understand the streaming world, so I have no stream dreams.

I have hope that Mary Poppins 3 will eventually be made. Okay, well, again, wait for the copyright to. To cut out. I mean, well, they had to wait for what, P. PL Travers to die to make this one, didn’t they? Because one of the Reasons Mary Poppins 2 never showed up for a few decades is she, you know, shot down every. Every version that was proposed. Yeah, you know what? The. The overall premise of. Of Mary Poppins style character is not that unique. It’s just. Your babysitter is a witch. The end. That’s. That’s Mary Pop. That’s also bed knobs and broomsticks.

That’s essentially the entire story. See, I guess I just almost miss Doubtfire more growing up where it’s like, oh, your. Your babysitter is your dad in drag. Well, that’s. That will be Mary Poppins 3. It’s actually just gonna be a drag queen. Yeah, RuPaul’s very Poppins. And then, and then she’s gonna gaslight him the entire Time. Like, I’m not a drag queen. Yeah, that’s the defining aspect of her personality, I suppose. You want to wind this one down? I don’t have anything else to pop out on. Well, what. What else you got going on? What other podcasts have you been doing recently? I haven’t, man.

I’ve been working early. But where could you go? You go time enough podcast. We’re talking about the Twilight Zone. We’ve done the entire old series. We are now doing newer versions of the Twilight Zone, the Peel Zone, right now, films. And Phil’s talking about what are supposed to be really good movies and really bad movies. High ratings, low ratings. Mary Poppins does not make it to either list. So what’s going on in your world? I would say if you like occult Disney, you’ll probably also really like cartoon cabal if you haven’t been listening to those episodes.

So it’s basically what we do here. But for non Disney movies, what are the ones that we did recently? Sonic X, the Animatrix, China Illinois episode called Total Validation. We did Yuppie Ducks, the one that says ask about illuminati. And the Ducktales. We did the. The Bush McDonald’s drug propaganda movie cartoon All Stars to the rescue. There we go. I can rock that title out. So, yeah, if you like occult Disney, you’ll probably like that one just as much. Maybe even more, depending on how much you like Disney. Okay, I guess we are going to take our umbrellas and trip the light fantastic off into the clouds.
