Delicacies Destiny - Episode One

In this episode, just in time for the World Series and a new football season, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2019 to pick the first ESPN "30 For 30" sports documentary we've ever had to cover on this podcast! Specifically, a documentary about multi-hyphenate 90s superstar athlete Deion Sanders, aka "Prime Time," which is a nickname he gave himself, presumably for reasons. Sanders gained fame for playing professional baseball AND football at the same time, and once in October 1992, he attempted to play in an NFL game in between two postseason MLB games in a different state, all within a 48-hour period. Will this bold sportsballer successfully sportsball multiple sportsballs, or will his sportsball-related hubris destroy all sportsballs forever? Join Tony Goldmark, Haley Baker Callahan, David Ganssle and Gaby Tyrrell as they attempt to break up DEION'S DOUBLE PLAY!  Check out my guests' stuff!

In this episode, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2021 to pick an example of everyone's favorite subgenre of Disney+ content, that's right, another NatGeo documentary! Only this time, it's NOT one of those wretched disposable televised NatGeo specials that's exactly the same as every other NatGeo special, it's a full-fledged NatGeo-branded theatrical documentary feature film from the Oscar-winning directors of Free Solo about the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue, an inherently compelling true story of unlikely heroes triumphantly overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds in order to save human life, which unfortunately is primarily known to westerners as "that one time Elon Musk called a guy a pedophile on Twitter for no good reason" because everything is dumb and the world is broken.

In this episode, we return following an unanticipated long hiatus as the randomizer goes all the way back to 2022 to pick the first episode of a Chinese romantic comedy streaming series from China's video-sharing site Bilibili. In this period piece set during the Ming Dynasty, we follow a woman's journey from humble beginnings to her position as head chef for the crown prince at the imperial palace, all while the show's aesthetics combine mouth-watering culinary footage, Hanna-Barbera sound effects and jokes about turning kidnappers into eunuchs until it gets to the point where you really have to wonder, "what even IS Disney+ anymore?" Ah well, at least you'll probably be able to sue Disney if THIS chef accidentally kills you.

DISCLAIMER: This minisode was recorded and released prior to the arrest of one of its guests, Kyle Carrozza. We at Escape From Vault Disney strongly condemn Mr. Carrozza's actions and offer our deepest sympathies to his victims, and we will not be inviting him on this podcast again in the future. That said, rather than attempt to rewrite history, we have decided to leave this episode online and intact as a time capsule of when it was made. In this special minisode, we combine the last two theme "months" together by assembling eighteen regular guests to give brief synopses on all 36 theatrical movies released by Disney during the What Would Walt Have Done? era that are NOT available on Disney+!

It's the ludicrously-belated fifth and final episode of WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? "MONTH" on Escape From Vault Disney! And to wrap up this batch of episodes on the most awkward time period in Disney history, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1976 to cover an example of Disney's most reliably lucrative (or at least, least reliably un-lucrative) genre at the time, the dumb-as-rocks slapstick-heavy live-action comedy! And what a comedy it was, assembling more exclamation-point-worthy TV stars than a primetime variety special - Ed Asner! Don Knotts! Tim Conway! Tom Bosley! Bob Crane! Dick Van Patten! Dick Butkus! The Guy Who Voiced The Cat From Outer Space! - and then casting them all in a motion picture where the REAL star is a dumb mule who somehow gets drafted as an NFL placekicker through the use of Air Bud logic twenty years before Air Bud. Ah well, at least he's not Harrison Butker. Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Zach Hurst and Cassie Shima as they all get kicked in the head by GUS!

MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney just keeps on lumbering along! For our fourth and penultimate episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1971 to cover a made-for-TV movie produced for NBC's weekly "Wonderful World of Disney" showcase, with a daring, I dare say even avant-garde premise: see, there's this horse who - get this - doesn't want to be ridden! Even though he's a horse! Crazy, right? I mean, if he didn't want to be ridden, why'd he become a horse in the first place? Why not instead become some other creature, like an alligator? Or Mitt Romney? No one's ever ridden Mitt Romney! Silly horse thinks he's Mitt Romney. I'm laughing already and it's not even remotely interesting. Join Tony Goldmark, Kyle A.

It continues to be WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our third episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1981 to pick an animated would-be classic that seemed to have everything going for it: a beautiful nature setting in the Bambi mold, a timeless parabolic story about the irrationality of bigotry, and a once-in-a-lifetime animation crew loaded with literally dozens of future directors. How could they possibly screw that up? Welp, dull dialogue, a meandering story, muddled character motivations, instantly forgettable songs, an inept fumbling of the anti-bigotry message, a side character who should've died inexplicably living, a pointless B-plot where two birds and a caterpillar do third-rate Tom & Jerry shtick, and what the hell, why not throw in some incompetent studio mismanagement that drove about a dozen animators to resign and form their own studio while we're at it, that's how. Meh, at least the furries got something out of it. Join Tony Goldmark, Dave Cobb, Charley Marlowe and Jacob Martin as they try to schedule a disastrous playdate for THE FOX AND THE HOUND!

It's still WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our second episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1976 to pick an ambitious misfire released just in time for America's bicentennial, a would-be epic treasure hunt adventure set in the Reconstruction-era American South that aims to be Budget Mark Twain by way of Budget Robert Louis Stevenson, depicting America as a chaotic lawless hellscape where former slaves run back to their plantations, snake oil medicine can be refashioned into Molotov cocktails, impromptu hoedowns turn into attempted gangbangs at the drop of a hat and we're supposed to take the big evil frightening villain seriously even though his name is "Spangler." Also the guy who voiced Prince John is in it but he doesn't suck his thumb even once.

It's WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney, as we devote March 2024 to movies, featurettes and/or TV specials produced by Walt Disney Productions during that odd, awkward inbetween time from 1968-1984, after Walt died but before Eisner took over! And for our first episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, we're joined by the man who literally wrote the soon-to-be-released book on that era, Meet the Robinsons director Stephen Anderson! And for our topic, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1977, the summer when Star Wars had the unmitigated audacity to dominate the box office 35 years before Disney owned it. The only competition Disney had that summer was a Herbie sequel and an animated talking mice movie, so the Disney execs thought "Hey, y'know what Walt would've done? He would've paired the animated talking mice movie with 48 minutes of documentary-style footage of a bear and a raccoon in the woods just kinda wandering around, narrated by an obscure country singer who, for thoroughly unclear reasons, is named 'Mayf Nutter.' That'll steer audiences away from Luke Skywalker blowing up the Death Star for sure!" Are you starting to understand why Disney struggled in the 70s?
