You may know J. D. Hansel from his Muppety podcasts, "Eleven Point Collar" and Let's Talk Muppets," but now he's expanded into all new podcast projects that are all about... well, anything! Visit www.JDHansel.com for more information.
A few months ago, JD and Nicholas were attempting another project focused on animated films and the works of Walt Disney, and they recorded a conversation with puppeteer Noel MacNeal (Bear in the Big Blue House, Between the Lions, Last Week Tonight) about one of his favorite Disney films, Pinocchio.

In their first holiday episode, JD and Nic try to unpack not only the beloved story of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, but the odd legacy of its first major musical adaptation, Scrooge, starring Albert Finney and Alec Guinness. This episode may or may not contain shirtless executioner demons covered in oil.
It’s Nic’s choice this time, and he’s making JD watch Academy Award-winning auteur Guillermo del Toro’s wacky comic book movie about a demon, a fish, some elves, tooth fairies, and a German gas man. JD tries to convince Nic that this beloved cult favorite is actually not a very good movie.
In their first episode, movie nerds JD Hansel and Nicholas Lemon discuss an obscure ’80s Disney fantasy film with animatronic dragons, great British old people, and *gasp* female nudity?! Is this one of Disney’s underrated “Dark Ages” classics, or is it best left in the vault? JD and Nic, as usual, see it very differently.
