Plussin' and Cussin'
Christopher Edwards and Tim Hussein
A couple of hard drinkin', hard livin' men with Disney Plus subscriptions dig into the nuts and bolts of your childhood nostalgia and spew piss, vinegar, and general vitriol all over whatever magic you had left inside. Hopefully we'll all learn a little something along the way too :3
From Marceline to Mowgli Bonus: Dan Viets
On this weeks very special bonus episode Deefy sits down with Dan Viets, the man who literally wrote the book on Walt’s time in Marceline and who is heading up the project to preserve the Laugh-o-Gram studios in good ole KC. Welcome to the Midwest, indeed.

The Doodlin' Newsie: From Marceline to Mowgli III
Extra! Extra! Read all about (or listen to) young Walt Disney's later childhood years in Kansas City, Missouri. From slingin' papers and doing sketches for the local barber to starting a sketch comedy duo to joining the Red Cross near the tail end of World War I, this kid stayed in a pretty much perpetual state of motion. Let's see if we can keep up!

In Which Lin Manuel Miranda is Held Accountable for His Crimes: Unpopular Opinions
We're taking a little bit of a breather from our Marceline to Mowgli series to stretch our legs and grab some beef jerky before getting back on the road. Join us while we talk a little bit about Wish, air out some grievances about Hamilton, and give a cursory look at whether Meryl Streep was based or not when she called Walt a bastard.

Hope Dies Hard: From Marceline to Mowgli II
This week we continue our probe into the origins of Walt Disney, and attempt to unpack the fate that befell Walt's idyllic (at least as he saw it) hometown. We'll find out about the planned park in Marceline, Missouri that never came to be, and watch the deevolution of a hopeful Everytown, USA, into bland Midwest obsolescence.

Straight Out the Grist Mill: From Marceline to Mowgli I
In the beginning of our new series-within-a-series, we go into the primordial ooze of the D'Isigny clan and their dogged progeny that begat the boy who started this whole crazy business that we stan and dissect weekly: Walt Disney. You'll get you're fill of frontier entrepreneurship, bad farming practices, and well-coifed mustaches as we talk about a few of Walt's ancestors, and land in the small town where young Disney had a brief and pastoral childhood before beginning his lifetime as a workaholic.

Chasing Karen: The Watcher in the Woods
We're a day late and the eclipse was a bust in San Antonio (old man shakes fist at clouds), but we've got our super special spooky eclipse episode for you. Let's take a dip into Disney's first attempt at horror! Piggybacking on the "hagsploitation" or "psycho-biddy" genre of the late Sixties and Seventies, we see Disney throwing pasta at the wall to see what sticks, and hiring aged legend of the silver screen Bette Davis to play our resident creepy old (land)lady. Note: You'll wanna catch this one on YouTube, but it's totally free.

You'll Never Make a Mickey Out of Me: Disney Adults
Plussin' and Cussin' is back for a fourth season, and while Tim Q and Deefy are looking a little long in the tooth, our subject matter are looking long in the gums. That's right gang, we're unpacking the phenomenon of Disney Adults! The strange grown ass people who spend fortunes to visit Disney's theme parks for that little slice of happiness to make them feel whole. We could sit here and tear these weirdos to shreds (and maybe we do), but remember: There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and sometimes, the abyss stares back.
