DD48 – Bolt (2008)

If ever an argument were to be made that Disney created a character that was TOO cute, it would probably be Bolt. A canine action star who loves his human more than anything, and establishes an unlikely friendship with a cynical but street smart big-city cat? The Dummies never stood a chance. But they’re up to the challenge all the same, and this week they’ve got a lot to bark about as they howl the praises of one of the most underwoofed Disney films of the 21st century.

130 – Top 5 Movies of 2021

Wait did any movies even come out last year?

The pandemic has made the timing of movie releases weird. Movies endlessly have been getting delayed and it really seemed like nothing came out in 2021. With the Oscars coming up, y’know the most prestigious awards show nobody watches, we once again took it upon ourselves to reflect on if there was anything even worth watching or talking about for this year’s best movie podcast. The answer was YES! Even in a sea of delayed films, there was a number of great stuff that came out last year that supplied that much-needed escapism that only movies can provide, transporting our minds away from the harsh reality of real life and into a world of imagination and wonder. So join Tuong and Movie Lovers Nivala Maharaj, Jesse Anderson, and Alyssa Wooldridge as they binge all the films from last year to bring you a Top 5 Movies of 2021 list!

DD47 – Meet the Robinsons (2007)

It’s another first for the Dummies this week, as we give time travel a go with Meet the Robinsons, a family of quirky characters who are all about celebrating the art of trying – even when it ends in failure. But as we follow our hero Lewis through time and space along with his guide and new friend Wilbur Robinson, we’ve got a sneaking suspicion (or at least, some of us do) that Wilbur might know more about Lewis than he’s letting on…

129 – Top 5 Brunch Menu Items

Brunch: One Meal to rule them all.

Once upon a time, there was (probably) a person who woke up too late for breakfast and thought of the genius idea of combining both the powers of breakfast and lunch into one powerhouse meal full of eggs, pancakes, hash browns, coffee, and alcohol. The beauty of brunch is there’s no judgement. Eat breakfast past noon. Start treating yourself to alcohol in the early afternoon. Go ahead and get the best of sweet and savoury in your dish. The world is a better place because brunch exists! So join Tuong and Pull the Plug’s Justin Godelie, Shannon Godelie, and Dan Foerster as they put on their stretchy pants and feast at the PodCavern Diner while ranking Top 5 Brunch Menu Items!
