Episode 12: So Dear to My Heart
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!

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!
