After watching Prince of Thieves you need to break out some Robin Hood: Men In Tights

I have been curious about that one for years considering how controversial it is and how much Disney wants you to forget about it
There's a miniseries on the movie they just did on You Must Remember This; I'd recommend it. It gives a pretty strong impression of what the movie's about and what's so messed-up about it. It sounds like the movie is backwards in its perspective and the politics it hints at, while the content itself is generic Disney shmaltz. It sounds like racist-grandparent-level offensive, where they're never out-and-out saying something you can put your finger on and reprimand, but you're definitely going to have to sit the kids down and explain why this shit didn't really fly in the mid-20th century, let alone in 2020.

I’ve never listened to that podcast but that sounds interesting. I’ve been distracting myself with even more podcasts lately so this will fit right in.
 
Speaking of, Paul and Amy from Unspooled (podcast where they go through the AFI list of best films) have been sometimes doing live stream chats about other, light movies that maybe should be on the list. I’ve just watched the one for Big, so I’ll share that here. But they’ve also done Clue and Clueless. I really enjoy their conversations, so maybe some others here will too. Also I love the movie Big.

 
I was listening to this for a while, but eventually I had to admit to myself that I just can’t stand Amy.

edit: Paul can be obnoxious too, but I had mostly made my peace with him from HDTGM. The two of them without a Jason or a June, though? Couldn’t take it.
Really? Why? I like them both. I really enjoy Paul on HDTGM too and when he’s a guest on other shows. Amy is good too, but maybe sometimes I don’t find myself agreeing with certain points of view or opinions she has. But I don’t mind that.
 
I don’t know what it is exactly. There’s nothing wrong with her as a person, there’s just something about her presenter voice that sounds very affected and insincere to me. Like she’s trying to match Paul’s energy but it doesn’t sound natural. Plus I didn’t feel like I was getting much insight from them on these films that I couldn’t get from the IMDb trivia page. Sometimes HDTGM is like that too, but at least there’s jokes in between.
I get more disappointed in some HDTGM episodes than Unspooled. But they’re still so light and fun that I don’t hate them. It’s mostly some of their picks for movies just aren’t that interesting.

Unspooled I don’t listen to every episode, but I’ve heard most of them. And just getting some opinions and whatnot on the films is nice. But I can kinda see what you’re saying about her energy trying to match Paul’s.
 
Took me five years, but I finally watched Bridge of Spies.

It reminds me of all the things I love about Spielberg as a director.
