Welcome, everyone, to the final episode of GMWKS. For six years and five seasons, we’ve had the privilege of sitting down with you to talk about family movies—from both a narrative lens and a parental perspective. What started as a simple idea grew into something we’re incredibly proud of, thanks in large part to all of you who listened, shared, and kept coming back. Over time, it’s become harder for us to maintain the consistency this show—and you—deserve. Rather than stretch ourselves too thin, we felt it was important to close this chapter with intention and gratitude. We don’t see this as a goodbye, but more of a “see you later.” Thank you for tuning in, for spending your time with us, and for being part of this community. It’s meant more than we can fully express. As always—stay crispy.

“This… is Berk.” We’re rewatching How to Train Your Dragon (2010), talking first flights, forbidden friendships, and why this movie still hits like a fireball to the heart.

It’s the finale of our Holly Jolly Jingle Jangle Extravaganza! We’re closing out the season by diving into The Christmas Chronicles, rating the holiday hijinks, debating Kurt Russell’s extremely specific Santa energy, and asking the big question: does this one earn a spot on the annual rewatch list—or belong back on the shelf until next December?

Holly Jolly Jingle Jangle Extravaganza rolls on with episode three, featuring a deep dive into That Christmas. We explore its storytelling choices, holiday messaging, and overall effectiveness as a modern Christmas movie, all while keeping things festive and fun. Is it destined for yearly rewatch status—or a one-and-done? We give it a rating and let the ornaments fall where they may.

In this week’s episode, we unwrap The Nutcracker and the Four Realms—and, well… let’s just say the wrapping paper was the best part. Join us as we dive into Disney’s baffling holiday fantasy, question every creative decision, and try to figure out how a movie with this cast and this budget still managed to crack under pressure.

This week, we’re carving into Free Birds (2013), the animated Thanksgiving oddity that sends two turkeys back in time to rewrite holiday history. We talk festive vibes, surprisingly wild plot turns, and whether it truly earns a spot in the seasonal movie rotation—before giving it our official Thanksgiving rating.

This week we crack open Newsies (1992), the Disney musical that raised an entire generation on the power of child labor… but make it jazz hands. We revisit Christian Bale’s “please don’t make me sing” era, the aggressively earnest choreography, and the movie’s bizarre journey from box-office flop to nostalgic comfort blanket. Extra! Extra! We’re roasting—uh, reviewing—it all. Join our Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/GMWKS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a voice message by going to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/moonstreet⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Questions or Comments?
