Matilda – ep77 – 1996

“Listen you little wiseacre. I’m smart; you’re dumb. I’m big; you’re little. I’m right; you’re wrong. And there’s nothing you can do about it.” – Parents to their kids during the 2020 quarantine.

Show Continuity – Saved by the Bell to the Max – ep05

“We need Doc Brown to sort out the timelines of this show.” – Jonah Anderson, world’s foremost expert on “Saved by the Bell.” The “Saved by the Bell” continuity is… confusing.

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey – ep75 – 1993

If a “wise” old Golden Retriever tells you to leave the ranch and venture into the wilderness, don’t listen to him. He’s stupid. “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey” is a Disney remake of the 1963 animal adventure, itself based on a book. But who cares about all that? This one has Marty McFly voicing a
