Plussin' and Cussin'

Plussin' and Cussin' is back for a fourth season, and while Tim Q and Deefy are looking a little long in the tooth, our subject matter are looking long in the gums. That's right gang, we're unpacking the phenomenon of Disney Adults! The strange grown ass people who spend fortunes to visit Disney's theme parks for that little slice of happiness to make them feel whole. We could sit here and tear these weirdos to shreds (and maybe we do), but remember: There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and sometimes, the abyss stares back.

After technical difficulties in Lubbock and a couple of goosebump-inducing Halloween episodes, we return with the conclusion to our longest series ever, Mary Poppins! Who among you would go back into work so that they could fire you? Bring your kites and inside-out umbrellas and join us as we ride the West Wind and bring this baby into harbor

Deef and Timmy sit down for a spell with Tim Jacobus, the illustrator behind all of the iconic covers of RL Stine's children's horror series, Goosebumps! No tricks up our sleeves here, this guy was a real treat!

For our FOURTH (wow) Halloween Spooktacular, we're covering the new Goosebumps series on Disney Plus. Gonna come right out and say that I thought this was going to be a garbage fire, but it turns out this thing is kinda good? Also Deefy and Timmy Boo talk about their past with the iconic book series, and drop a teaser for a special guest.

Click-Click, Boom! Time to blow on in to Number 7, Cherry Tree Lane and get a load of this Banks family! That's right, Deefy's finally finished talking about PL Travers so we can watch the movie and talk about it in classic PnC fashion! We've got movie trivia, boner pills, dem Island Boys, and Saliva on the docket for discourse! Hope you love to laugh, cause this tea party's happening up in the rafters! You ever hear the one about the guy with a wooden leg named Smith?

The breaking winds of change are blowin' in, which means trouble's a brewin,' and we're about to begin.. to actually start watching Mary Poppins. But first we'll finish hammering out the details of Pamela Travers's strange life, just like Walt managed to hammer her inexhaustible will down to a nub in time to finish making this movie. Find out how with Timiny and Deef Van Dyke!

Here come Dick and Bob, Here come Dick and Bob, right down Dick and Bob Lane! (Okay not that funny or clever but I've had it stuck in my head ever since Deefy sang it at the end of the last episode). We're talking about Robert and Richard Sherman, the musical powerhouse who were Disney's unseen but much-heard musical engine during the Sixties. Since Mary Poppins is arguably their best work, we're gonna get to know these guys a bit. If you didn't prepay for your tickets, it's just tuppence at the door!

We begin our exhaustive coverage on the world's greatest emotionally withholding nanny by examining her problematic creator, an enigma of a woman who would end up calling herself Pamela Travers. You're gonna need more than a spoonful of sugar to wash the medicine down, 'cause this lady's a real pill.

Haloo my bonnie bairns, and have we got a cracklin' yarn for ye today! Last year was for the dogs, but this year the cats come out to play! We're kicking off 2023's Pussin' and Cussin' series with a Scottish banger from 1963: The Three Lives of Thomasina. Now that I think about it, they really should've used a Scottish Fold for the cat.. Anyways, this episode gets a little loose in the cage after awhile, and meanders a bit, but that's just Timmy and Deef enjoyin' the beautifol Scottish weather! [Preemptive further apologies to the Romani peoples are probably in order, js :( ]

Hope you showed up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, because it's time for some sexy squirrels! TH Half-White and Archimedeez-Nuts return to give you a walkthrough of 1963's Sword in the Stone. We're covering time travelling, shape-shifting wizards, and egregious voice-cracking displays of puberty. So let's get a grip on that hilt and give it 'ell!

Grab your snorkels and O2 tanks and get your Logitech controllers ready, cause we're goin' on a good ol' fashioned Deef Dive behind the scenes of Disney's 1963 romp through medieval England, The Sword in the Stone! This ep focuses on TH White (the writer of the source material), and the writers, animators, and musicians who brought the magic together. Part 2 will focus on our coverage of the movie itself.

Halloooooo out there to all you Pooh-heads in your XXXL Pooh pajama pants! (And by the way, you really shouldn't smoke indoors). Today we get to the big stuff-and-fluff bottom of a tale of a bear of very little brain and all his dumb animal friends. We bust out the honey and condensed milk and jump headlong into the Hundred Acre Woods of Disney's sixties-era adaptations. So grab yourself a "little something" and hunker down, cause it's gonna be a blustery one!

To all you faithful plussers and cussers who've been grinning and BEARing it for the past few episodes, we thank you. But your wait for audio that is actually BEARable to listen to is finally over. That's right, Timmy the Q talked to somebody smarter and we've finally got Deefy coming through in dulcet tones on his own mic out of his own Lubbock masturbatorium, as opposed to squeaking out of a tinny phone speaker. Deefy unveils his new Lubbock-based podcast, "Show Me Yer Haboobs," and we do a little history lesson on A.A. Milne, his literary love letter to his son Christopher Robin, and their complicated relationship as time went on.

For the conclusion of our series on Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, we dig into this opportunistic piece of crap and see it through to its (very short) credit sequence. Seriously, this movie was made by like thirteen people. Doesn't mean I hate it any less. But that's a little bit impressive. Also, Deefy mentions the company who made the masks for Pooh and Piglet. They also deserve some props. Our coverage of the movie is perhaps even lazier than the movie itself, but here it is folks..

It's 2023 and the copyright on everybody's favorite silly old bear has expired, hurtling him into the public domain like the time Christopher Robin uncorked his fat ass from Rabbit's doorway. What better way to commemorate this momentous occasion than watching a lazy, low-budget slasher set in the Hundred Acre Wood? How could this abomination be allowed to see the light of day? Deefy gives us a good ol' fashioned PnC deep dive into copyright law and Disney's diligent efforts to protect all of its IP's to the ends of the Earf.

Did you know you can't spell "down" without DOW? Tune into our Disney news segment for this and other pearls of financial wisdom. Tonight: Disney cancels a billion dollar development deal in Orlando, and everybody's got their theories as to why. Also, more layoffs at Disney, and some clarification on the Parental Rights in Education Bill a.k.a the Don't Say Gay Bill

We make our way into the focal point of our season 3 debut, a right-wing documentary created by the Catholic League called Walt's Disenchanted Kingdom. Most of the time, I would encourage you to watch the source material that we're covering. This is not one of those times. I will spend the rest of my life atoning for the two dollars that I paid to rent this diabolical piece of shit.

They tried to keep us apart, but we found our way back to the virtual masturbatorium known as the Internet to bring you season 3 of Plussin' and Cussin'! Just a little disclaimer: Deefy's a little different since he moved to Lubbock. You'll see.. Also, we dive into the political and literal swamps of Florida to sort out what the hell's been going on between Disney and ol' Meatball Ron. Welcome back!

Kevin Corcoran joins Tim Q Mouse to hammer out another installment of Little Mouse on the Airie AND round out the saga of the Coates family and their canine companions. You've heard of dogs wrangling with rabies, but dogs wrangling with.. Native Americans? I'm sure that Walt Disney's 1963 Western will take a fair and balanced look at frontier life in all of its nuances. So send your squaw to fetch some firewood, stuff one cheek full o' chaw and chomp down on some mule jerky, cause it's about to get Savage in here!

It's got Toyland in the name, but we ain't playin' around! For our final recording session in the stooge, long time listener/long time lurker Jack Spratarie joins the boys (aka Deef Be Nimble, Deef Be Quick and Little Boy Blown) for an exhaustive (and exhausting) tour of Mother Goose's village and its surrounding metro area. Colors! Schemes! Math! Mimes! Sheep! Choreography! And apparently something about Christmas somewhere in here? Tune in for Deefy's last in person episode!

We begin our last session in the Masturbatorium with special guest/long time lurker/first time caller Natarie Braulick. Some announcements regarding the future of our ignoble endeavor, and a lengthy and harrowing account of what Deefy left behind in a Schertz, TX, Valero for the carnies to clean up. Also, we touch briefly on two holiday programs that we DIDN'T cover: The Santa Clauses and The Hip Hop Nutcracker.

Long overdue, but big things are happening in the houses of Mouse and Deef. This here's our Thanksgiving DizDat where we dish out the stuffing and the gravy re: the changing of the Bobs and what exactly it takes for a middle class family to go to one of these astronomically priced parks in this foul year of our Lord. Folks, we're serving up the whole back end of PnC's 2022 in a walloping three-parter for your listening pleasure and leisure. Bon appedeef!

Wouldst thou like to live.. Fergaliciously?? It's 2022, and the witches, the witches, the witches are back to vape kids and kill Mayor Forky. (He just wants a caramel apple, for Pete's sake!) We get kiddie witches, millennial wannabe witches, savvy Gen Z witches, and the Sanderson sisters guzzling lotion in a Walgreens. Find out whether this relic from 1993 was worth digging up and reanimating on part two (boo?) of our Halloween Spooktacular! Power up your Rhoombas, cause it's about to get salty!

Grab your candy bags and hop on your Hoovers for a spooky flight to Salem, Massachusetts circa 1993, with your hosts Billy Bonerson and Thackery Deefs! We're gonna dig up and dissect your beloved Hallow's Eve favorite, Hocus Pocus! What happens when you turn three of the most talented actresses of the times into spooky three stooges? You parade them on Katie Couric's Good Morning America, that's what you do. God bless Kathy Najimy.

The PnC Crew fills you in on unruly children at the park, and the Puritanical censorship of newly-released season 3 of Bluey on Disney Plus. Also, stick around for Deefy's plan to go live at the library or something and the men's adventure at the indoor waterpark. Up next: Hocus Pocus.

Are you getting as dogged by the Dog Days of 2022 as we are? Timmy Q and Thunderbutt 2600 embark on a remarkable escapade of sorts, mashing up two extraordinary outings into one voluminous voyage for your listening pleasure. That is, if watching some cute animals running from point A to point B is your idea of a good time. That's right, we're doing 1963's The Incredible Journey, the precursor to 1993's Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (which we're pretty much covering in its entirety as well.) So hunker down and let these animals do the walkin' while we do the talkin.'

Let's get together (yeah, yeah, yeah) for the most famous Haley Mills vehicle of all time, 1961's The Parent Trap! This is the progenitor for the one-kid-playing-two-kids movie and Haley Mills is the proto-Michelle Tanner. We also get a hot mom and a Steve Zahn meets John Wayne dad rekindling their toxic relationship at the behest of a couple of manipulative, albeit mind-fucked teenagers. Find out about Susan the Duckster, Mills' doppelganger, and a couple of rites of passage that happen for Haley on set. How much does a sprawling ranch with hundreds of acres in Monterrey, CA, go for in 2022 money? This gruesome twosome is here to real estate speculate! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

This was supposed to be part one of our Parent Trap coverage, but it ends up being Deefy talking about the Run the Jewels and Dethklok concerts he went to in Philly and Tim Q Mouse telling Deefy about the South Park 25th Anniversary show at Red Rocks. I opted to cut out that part just because it didn't make for entertaining listening if you weren't in the room. Catch the whole thing on Paramount Plus if you want. Stay tuned for the Parent Trap on the upcoming episode.

BRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNGGG!!! Class is in session for a couple of daft pupils! That's right, it's your boys Tim Q and Deefy boldly going where tons of people have gone before. Namely, a mediocre movie from 1961, The Absent-Minded Professor! If you've been needing that sweet sweet Tommy Kirk fix, look no further. Because guess what? He's in this! So's the saggier-faced analog of Andy Griffith, the lovable (maybe just likeable?) Fred McMurray! It's not Robin Williams, but this is the origin of the 1998 remake of Flubber. It's... fine. I guess. But who better to lead you through a sea of mediocre scientific pseudo jargon than a couple of seasoned Diz vets armed to the teeth with Malort? Nobody, says I! Sit back and lube up, cause we're about to flub the shit outta you!

"They're warm. They're wet. Just suck!" Perdeefa and Q-ella get all sooty in the conclusion to 1960's stylish masterpiece this week! Meet Disney's first fully fleshed out (if relatively emaciated) lady villain, Cruella DeVille and her henchmen Horace and Jasper, a.k.a. Guy Ritchie's Wet Bandits. Dodie will school us on how to punch a dog just right, and we'll learn where Rob Zombie got his inspiration for Dragula when Cruella gets behind the wheel. Grab a bag of Canine Crunchies and get ready to chow down on this tasty 'sode!

We continue our coverage of 1960's 101 Dalmatians with one of Deefy's deep dives into the artists who made this banger really hit the spot! Find out about Ken Anderson, Bill Peet, and Ub Ikeman, and discover how Walt started a years long feud by handing Ub a napkin at a party. It's a production ep!

Ok, so we're not the best at staying on a schedule, but we've missed all you Plussers and Cussers out there, so here's the first installment of our three part series on Disney's first animated feature of the swingin' Sixties, 101 Dalmatians! Some lady named Dodie wrote a book about some dogs who like snacks and a lady who likes pepper. It's.. fine. But hubba-hubba, homina-homina, wait till you get to the Pongos and their spicy liver-spotted unicorn, Perdita! Doggie thrupple? Don't mind if I do, AWOOOOOO! Lest you'd forgotten, its the Dog Days of 2022!

Hoooooo mannn.. It's been awhile! I had forgotten everything in this episode, but if anyone still gives a shit, it's worth a listen! So do it. Listen. Even if we don't deserve it, Haley Mills does. Also, Deefy talks about how he might need to add a hims subscription to his Lexapro regimen. Fun stuff!

Let's play the Glad Game! I'm glad that there's a new installment of Plussin' and Cussin' with your old pals Dr. Chill-Tim and Jimmy Deef! We're getting all hot and bothered in our petticoats over the unveiling of Disney's darling of the 1960's- Haley Mills- in her Oscar-winning debut as the plucky and lovable Polyanna. And we're gonna have a Zach Morris time-out to find out why Bayside High owes their existence to her. BRRRIIINNGGG!!!!

We put the come hither on ye last week with part one of Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Now take a load off as we polish off the poteen, ensnare an immortal in a burlap sack, and try our hand at the early twentieth century version of Irish rap battling. Not gonna lie folks; at some point or another in this episode, the spirits take over and take the wheel, and I'm not talking about leprechauns or banshees!

Har T-tar, T-Tar! Come me lovelies and join Timmy O'Husseinegan and Deefy O'Gill of the Little Penis as we pin on our clovers and kiss our blarney stones for our St. Patty's Day Special (only two months late) of Disney's Darby O'Gill and the Little People! We swap out Malort for Irish Whiskey and talk about how Walt Disney thought that he could convince viewers that he actually recorded a bunch of real life leprechauns for this film. Looking at the citizens of Florida, he might not have been too far off the mark! Bonus content: a little Diz News, Dat News, where we hear what atrocities the Governor of that wretched Mordor of the Americas is up to lately, as well as get a long awaited usurper to Elton John's throne!

We dust the fleas off and whip out our red rockets for this next installation in PnC's Dog Days of 2022 with friend of the show and registered poonhound Cody McCafferty! It's time to slobber over Annette Funicello and some hot French chick (unless you're IRL Tommy Kirk) in 1959's Cold War comedy, The Shaggy Dog! It's that one scene in Mrs. Doubtfire but with a dog, kind of!

Hoard your runes close to your chest and don't stray too far from that last site of grace, because it's about to get downright Maleficent up in this bitch. Tim Q Mouse has been playing too much Elden Ring and it's coloring his perception of everything. Deefy has been drinking Malort and smoking weed, so business as usual. Here's the part where we watch the movie. What kind of PnC episode would it be if Deefy didn't have an emotional breakthrough about Maleficent reminding him of his withholding late grandmother? I swear, I need to start charging this motherfucker by the hour. This edition of PnC is admittedly a bit chaotic due to us getting sidetracked by having the movie we're describing playing in the background on a big TV in the background--which I have since decided is actually not a good idea. Hindsight is 20:20.

Rise and shine all you sleepyheads! It's time to wipe that muck out of your eyes and get ready for a heapin' helpin' of history as we get into the origins of Disney's 1959 visual masterpiece, Sleeping Beauty. Deefy settles into the hot seat for the PnC duo's first heavy hitter recording within the House of Mouse.

We've been foaming at the mouth to get this one out! Plussin' and Cussin' presents a Deefless and whiskey-fueled romp through the wild Texas frontier of Santa Clarita, California with Kentucky's native son, Kevin Corcoran. We bare our canine incisors and rip into the meaty flesh of a film that traumatized an entire generation of Boomers, 1957's Old Yeller. Let's get grit and grime smeared all over our feral faces as we discover what you call a group of pigs and why Jesus Christ hated them so much, as well as why you should maybe reconsider going into a Burbank swimming pool with Tommy Kirk. PnC's Dog Days of 2022 continues!

Strap on your snorkels and slap on some powd,' cause the buoys of PnC are about to flood your basements! The high seas (or low seas?) await this motley crew of a slightly senile French academic, his sycophantic (but cute as a button) sidekick, and a problematic alpha male harpooner who can't get enough poon. They end up on a boat what can go UNDER the water, captained by a guy who played a charismatic pedophile in another movie and his crew of cult followers. What could possibly go wrong? If you want to find out then just sit back, relax, and let us wriggle our briny tentacles into your earholes!

Avast, me hearties! Be that whale cum in yer flagon? Take the plunge with Captain Timo and Coral Reefy as we dive deep on the origins of the acclaimed 1954 mariner's yarn, 20,000opp00p0 Leagues Under the Sea! Maybe we'll learn a little French along the way!

Hop aboard the Bark Bus with Tim Dear and Deefy Darling as we watch and learn all things canine in the second installment of our coverage of 1955's Lady and the Tramp. How long could one keep a live puppy in a hatbox? How is there a New York City alleyway outside of an Italian restaurant in Missouri? What was it that Trusty's grandpappy Old Reliable actually used to say? We follow our noses like a couple of bloodhounds to get to the bottom of this question, and many more! And in true canine spirit, we might even sniff a few asses along the way.

We begin the PnC's Dog Days of Winter series with a lil peek into the origins of 1955's Lady and the Tramp. But first, Tim and Deefy catch up on what's been going on in the downtime. Hear about Timmy's adventures in Vegas and having Covid (don't worry, it was just wimpy little Omicron). We also talk a bit about Encanto. I'm gonna be honest here: only about fifteen minutes of this podcast really has anything to do with Lady and the Tramp. If you're a history purist, skip to about the 30 minute mark. Welcome to Plussin' and Cussin's debut ep of Twenty Twenty T-AWOOOooooo!

Look what we did, you little jerks! It's Plussin' and Cussin's second annual Christmas bash. This year we're doing the newest addition to the Home Alone franchise, starring the fat little British kid from JoJo Rabbit, the funny guy from Twitter, and the College Humor chick who wants to give you the driest blowjob ever. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

Time for a deep dive into the foul year of our Lord, 1955! Walt hates commies and needs to make a movie about a red-blooded, hard-nosed and hard-dicked American. Enter Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier! This is one of America's first rock stars, and an illustration of what happens when one man's legend becomes bigger than the man during his own lifetime. We swim around with crocodiles, grin down some 'bars and 'wrastle 'em into table meat, and get into some grisly (and rather disappointing) truths about the Alamo.

On a very San Antonio-centric episode, we talk about the man, the myth, the legend: Davy Crockett. Find out how one of Texas's patron saints made his bones killin' 'bars and slingin' tales about killin' 'bars all the way to Washington and beyond. Put on your coon-skin caps buckaroos! (Sold at Alamo gift shop for $18.95 USD).

Strap yourselves into your Doom Buggies, cause it's time to go on a spooky ride.. that's a movie.. that's based on a ride.. that's sixty years old. Sounds like a great idea! Deefy prattles on about his love for the Haunted Mansion while Timmy pines for the days of higher quality Muppet content. Yes, all the stars are here! Arnett! Sajak! Bargain Bin-Manuel Miranda! Find out how Iron Maiden broke Deefy's fridge, and why Timothy Boo Mouse thinks king prawn should be forever stricken from the Muppet menu. We're gonna be a couple of real Statler and Waldorfs today. Boooo!!!

Set your engines for the second star to the right and straight on till morning! Here's the part where we cut to the chase and talk about the actual movie. Take our respective hands; we're off to Never Never Land

This here's the part where we talk about the MAKING OF stuff, for all you film buffs out there. We talk about the heads that came together to make PP, and then get into the short, sad tale of the actor who portrayed Peter Pan. He's essentially one of the first children that Hollywood chewed up and spit out as a ruined husk. THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS

We're starting a four part series on a sociopathic little fairy boy with all of his baby teeth who took the world by storm in the early Twentieth Century by doing a little digging into the strange little man who created him. Trying a little something different here, this is the first part of our Peter Pan series, focused exclusively on JM Barrie and his stories that gave birth to Disney's masterpiece nearly a half century later.
