God it never ends, does it? Despite wanting a break from Disney stuff for a while, Scott has been bullied by Jillian DiBlasio into talking about how he thinks Disney's 1991 film, Beauty and the Beast, SHOULD have been done. Bear in mind, that film won an Oscar and Scott got a Swimming Certificate of Participation after nearly drowning in the junior pool at the age of 9, his highest achievement to date. Can Scott improve a modern classic? He thinks so, but maybe that's due to the brain damage he got from nearly drowning.Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeEdited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Original and the Remake, Exposition, and The Friendzone - 05:00The Castle, Asking Questions, and Nitpicking - 30:00Stockholm Syndrome, Tale as Old as Time, and Finale - 60:00

It's that time of year once again! Scott is joined by Mark Russell and Alex Mirabal to talk about the very worst Disney has to offer. And this year, it's the dreaded Live Action Remakes! With even the most die hard Disney fans disliking these...lets call them "films"...is this the year when Scott finally gets the recognition he deserves and can deliver the biggest "I told you so" the world has ever seen?Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeEdited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Alice in Wonderland: 10:00Cinderella: 21:00Jungle Book: 30:00Christopher Robin: 35:00Beauty and the Beast: 50:00Dumbo: 1:00:00Aladdin: 1:12:00102 Dalmatians: 1:30:00Alice Through the Looking Glass: 1:35:00Maleficent: 1:43:00Mary Poppins Returns: 1:55:00Lion King: 2:00:00

In a twist of irony, a national lockdown has brought our fearless leader David Molofsky out of hiding to address the most pressing question facing the world at large: What's the best viewing order for a Marvel movie bingefest? David and Scott discuss the various Marvel viewing orders and David presents his unique take with Cape Order, which he believes creates the ultimate Marvel movie marathon experience. Check out the original Cape Order article referenced throughout the episode, plus the original Machete Order article!Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeEdited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Franchises, Tangent Time, and the Chronological Order - 05:00The Phases, The Cape Order, and Themes - 30:00Speed Round, Reasons for Cuts, and Final Thoughts - 60:00

Rise of the Skywalker is officially out on DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming. So what better time to conclude Scott's own "better" rewrite of the much debated finale to the Skywalker Saga. Another time, that's when! Frankly, Scott's not brave enough to tackle that movie yet, so he's settled for a much easier target, Rogue One. With its intense action, superb cinematography, and boring, boring, BORING characters (Except those two. You know the ones we mean.), can Scott write a better story than the one we got?Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeEdited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Characters, to Crawl or Not to Crawl?, and Jyn’s Not Like Other Girls - 05:00K2SO, Saw, and Daddy Problems - 30:00Actually Saying Something, Keeping the Ending...Kinda, Darth Mother 'Effin Vader - 60:00

*Sigh* Really? We're doing this? Alright then. Disney month continues as Scott is joined by Mark Russell to talk about a video game franchise that Scott has only observed from a distance. A long, safe distance. They talk about the origin of the games, the hands on/hands off approach of Disney, and how apparently that guy from the Sorcerer's Apprentice had a name. Did you know he had a name? I didn't know he had a name.Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeEdited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Final Fantasy, Platforms, and Disney Appearances - 05:00Titles, Organization 13, and Keyblades - 40:00Time Travel, Bringing Everyone Back Together, and the Future of KH - 1:20:00

Disney month continues on Podcapers with a review of Pixar's Onward! And since Scott loves both fantasy and Pixar, this film should be great, right? Right? Hooboy, Scott and Jillian DiBlasio have a lot to unpack here, from Pixar's stellar history, to more recent issues regarding LGBTQIA+ representation in Disney media. Seriously, we thought this film would be fun! But it's not! It's annoying how serious we have to take a movie with elves, centaurs, and magic. Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeEdited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Pixar vs Disney, Legacy, and Comebacks - 05:00Scott’s and Coco, The World of Onward, and Macguffin Ahoy - 30:00Lack of Creativity, Does Onward is Gay?, and Final Thoughts - 1:00:00

March is the month of Disney here on Podcapers! We're gonna have the best Disney bashing content on the Internet this month and in order to preserve Scott's sanity we're starting with a recent purchase of Disney's. Scott actually likes Anastasia so it's up him and Jillian DiBlasio to defend its honour against all those who say it just rips off the Disney formula. It's its own thing guys!

Gotta go fast! Sonic the Hedgehog is finally here. So is it the train wreck many thought it would be? It's up to Scott and Sonic super-fan Mark Russell to find out! Because, really, who else is gonna be talking about this movie right now? It's such a low key indie flick with no huge fanbase around it. Frankly, I'm not even sure why WE'RE talking about it.

Podcapers is back from hiatus and we're starting off with a bang! The latest in a refreshingly lengthening line of good DC movies is out! And Scott is once again joined by Podcaper's own DC mega-fan Alex Mirabal, to talk about it. Is Birds of Prey worth the hype? Or do you have something better to do? I mean, maybe you do?

Happy Holidays Capers! To celebrate the festive season, Scott is joined by Alex Mirabal to talk about the finale to the Skywalker saga...although some people aren't entirely happy about it. Some people very much including Scott. With corporate stratagems guiding the direction of the films, and increasing toxicity in the fandom, has Star Wars been ruined forever, or is there still hope? Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeEdited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:No Plan, Pappy-Palps, and Ghost Ships - 03:30Carrie Fisher, Finn the Pointless, and Force Powers - 30:00C-3PO, Rey’s Parents, and Final Thoughts - 1:00:00

The saga continues! But not quite how you remember it. With the last film in the much maligned Star Wars Sequel trilogy on the horizon, Scott is once again joined by Jillian Diblasio to talk about how he could have written a better movie than The Last Jedi. And I'm sure he's the only person on the internet who has said that.Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeEdited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Previously on Re-Script, Rey and Luke, and That Place Where the Evil Stuff is Happening - 04:30Force/Life Lessons, Check in with Classic Characters, and Rey’s Parents - 30:00Phasma, Some Good Gay Stuff, and Looking to the Future - 1:00:00

Scott just won't let it go! The Frozen franchise has reared it's frosty head once more, so naturally Scott must melt it with the unyielding might of his white hot geek rage! Thankfully, Mark Russell is there to temper the flames of Scott's Disney hatred, but is Frozen 2 bad enough to tempt him to the dark side?Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeEdited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Frozen 1, Animation, and Trolls - 02:00New Songs, Exposition, and a Severe Lack of Gay - 30:00Kristoff, Consequences, and Final Thoughts - 1:06:00

She-Ra is back! Disney+ sucks! My world's on fire! How 'bout yours? That's the way I like it and I never get bored! Where was I going with this? Oh yeah, She-Ra. Season 4 is out and it's better than ever! So naturally Scott and Alex Mirabal have to talk about all the character development, awesome plot twists, excellent action, and gay subtext!

October is here! Halloween is on the way! But Scott can't wait, so we're starting this month off with a look at a beloved horror classic...that was brutalised by Tom Cruise. Scott is joined by Heather of The Valkyries Podcast to examine what went wrong for what was meant to be the beginning of the Dark Universe franchise, and also explain why he could have done it better. Admittedly, not a massive hurdle to jump over.Check out Heather on The Valkyries Podcast!Also we apologise for the audio issue throughout the episode.
