Hold your breath, everybody: this week on Mousterpiece Cinema, we're submerging ourselves deep in nostalgia with 1949's So Dear to My Heart, one of the first hybrid live-action/animated movies from Walt Disney and Buena Vista Distribution. This movie is meant to be a heartwarming story about family, friendship, and hard work, but was Josh's heart melted by So Dear to My Heart? Or did he not properly prepare himself for a movie whose fond look back at the Midwest in 1903 inspired Disneyland itself? Check out this week's show to find out!
Hi there! Welcome to Mousterpiece Cinema, a weekly movie podcast hosted by Josh Spiegel and Scott Renshaw. Sit back, relax, and listen to our spirited discussions of films from all over the Walt Disney Company!

Episode 11: Lilo and Stitch
Sometimes, posting a new episode of a movie podcast is as wild as watching the movie in question! This week may be the wildest of all, as Josh watches 2002's Lilo and Stitch and finds it harder and harder to post the show! Stitch may have gotten into the system, folks! Fortunately, you won't have any trouble listening to the show, as Josh recounts the experience of watching Lilo and Stitch, the laid-back story of a little girl who finds a friend in a small but fierce alien trying to escape to freedom. This week's Mousterpiece Cinema promises nothing short of excitement, that's for sure!

Episode Nine: The Fox and the Hound
Has it really been 30 years since Disney introduced us to Tod and Copper, a fox and hound who become unlikely pals? You bet, and Disney just released The Fox and the Hound to commemorate the anniversary. This week on Mousterpiece Cinema, Josh takes a look back at this unusual friendship. Was he charmed by Tod and Copper, as voiced by Mickey Rooney and Kurt Russell? (Really.) You may be surprised! Check out the show, and make sure to rate and review it on iTunes!

Episode Eight: Tron
Greetings, programs! It's time to get sucked into the world of computers and video games as, for this week's episode of Mousterpiece Cinema, Josh looks back at the 1982 action-adventure Tron. This was Josh's first time seeing the movie, so you may be surprised at what he thinks. Those 80s-era special effects may not be the biggest problem with the world of Tron, but you'll have to listen to this week's show to find out what Josh thought!

Episode Seven: The Rocketeer
It's been 20 years since Walt Disney Pictures released The Rocketeer ("The Rocke-Who?"), and Josh rediscovers it on this week's Mousterpiece Cinema! You'll have to listen to the show to find out his full opinion, of course, but it's a lovefest all around! Watching Cliff Secord don a rocket suit in the Los Angeles of 1938 was so much fun, Josh couldn't help but gush. Check out this week's show for more!

Episode Six: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Josh begins a three-week sojourn into the world of Disney live-action films with 1954's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea! He's never read the book, and this is the first time he's seen the movie. Did he marvel at the Nautilus and the mysterious Captain Nemo? Is he more like the brash Ned Land or the pensive Professor Arronax? Will he be able to properly pronounce the name "Conseil?" (Spoiler alert: probably not.) Check out this week's Mousterpiece Cinema--it's a real whale of a tale! (Easy reference, but it works!)
