Send us a text

Get ready to set sail through space with Jon and Donald as they dive into Disney’s Treasure Planet—a bold, visually stunning reimagining of Treasure Island that’s equal parts nostalgia and sci-fi adventure.

In this episode, the guys:
 🚀 Debate if Treasure Planet deserves its “underrated classic” status
🎭 Geek out over the all-star cast (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emma Thompson, Martin Short… and even a surprise Disney trivia drop)
🎶 Relive the emotional father-son dynamic and that montage that still hits hard
🎨 Break down the film’s unique animation style that blended hand-drawn art with early CGI
😂 Go wildly off-course into back-to-back tangents on Back to the Future, Muppets movies, and fast-food nostalgia
💡 Ask the ultimate question: should this movie finally get the live-action remake it deserves?

Whether you loved it as a kid or are watching it for the first time, this episode is a mix of sharp movie talk, ridiculous detours, and deep Disney appreciation.

🎧 Listen now and join the conversation! Leave us a review, share your favorite Treasure Planet memory, and tell us in the comments: should Disney give this movie the live-action treatment?
