Fine!
I did it!
I was weak and backsliding, like Carrie’s fanatical mom, and subscribed to Disney+ so my sister and I could finally catch up on Doctor Who!
Have we been watching Doctor Who though?
Nope.
We immediately started watching The Muppet Show (1976-1981). It may even be funnier and more outrageous than we remembered, and it also proves Disney doesn’t have a clue what to do with these wonderfully sardonic, violent, sexual and irreverent characters in the 21st Century! My only concern is being triggered with nightmarish childhood flashbacks when we get to the episode horrifyingly featured in An American Werewolf in London (1981)! Next we were going to watch Bride Hard (2025) because it stars Rebel Wilson. Ugh, it was so painfully unfunny that we gave up after 10 or 15 minutes. Instead, we watched Freaky Friday (1976), the one with Jodie Foster, who is always worth watching, and we still enjoyed this classic. Sure, allegedly savvy, modern audiences might find the original dated now, but you just can’t beat the absolute charm of the opening credits! I learned from Gill at Realweegiemidget
Reviews that “I’d Like to Be You for a Day” is sung by stars Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster! Then, I guess to prove my sister and I are not stuck in the past, we started watching and actually finished A Very Jonas Brothers Christmas Movie (2025). For the sake of this post, and to take away any boy band blackmail power from Dave of My Gay Opinion, I confess that, for a very brief moment in time, I listened to the Jonas Brothers and may even still have one of their CDs. So, of course we had to watch their Christmas movie. The plot is completely ridiculous, but some terrifically funny guest stars, such as Will Ferrell, Laverne Cox, Andrea Martin, Billie Lourd and Randall Park kept us entertained. However, I kept thinking the movie needed less singing and more of whatever this is… |

In conclusion…Maybe for such a fun, trippy Disney+ experience, my soul was worth the price of admission…so far!
Now on to Doctor Who and more of The Muppet Show!
Freak Out,
