Welcome to the very first meeting of the Grown-Ass Kids Club. This week, Andrea and Ryan kick off the new era by revisiting Dirty Dancing — the movie that taught us about love, classism, illegal abortions, and the undeniable sainthood of Jerry Orbach.
We talk nostalgia, unpack the social issues hiding in plain sight, take a character quiz to see who’s Baby and who’s the real villain, and spend an appropriate amount of ...
It’s that magical time of year when people trample each other for TVs and Ryan and Andrea trample each other for limited-edition Mickey merch!

In honor of the Wicked frenzy sweeping the world, Ryan and Andrea revisit Oz the Great and Powerful—Disney’s ambitious, slightly sparkly attempt to make their own Oz universe. Ryan’s defending it with his whole heart. Andrea’s still processing her trauma. Michelle Williams is serving Glinda realness. And James Franco's wizard… might need HR training.

Ryan and Andrea time-travel back to the '90s to revisit the Family Matters two-part Disney World episode—and they’ve got thoughts. Was it good? Not exactly. Was it magical? Debatable. Did it feature peak MGM Studios and a whole lot of awkward blocking near Cinderella Castle? Absolutely.
This episode is part critique, part nostalgic squeal, and 100% brought to you by the ghost of TGIF.

Move over NBA—this is the draft that really matters. Ryan and returning guest/sports writer Reid enter the royal draft zone to assemble their elite Disney Princess dream teams. Andrea hosts, moderates, and provides sideline commentary with the authority of a Fairy Godmother with a clipboard.
With scoring based on the brutally honest opinions of children under 7, this is less about stats—and more about sparkle.
