TV & Film

Welcome to A Disney Nerd Talks A Lot, the podcast where your favorite childhood classics get a major reality check! Hosted by a total Disney nerd and teenager who spends way too much time falling down internet rabbit holes, this show dives deep into the real history, dark origins, and bizarre folklore behind the animated movies you love.
Have you ever wondered what actually happens at the end of the original Little Mermaid fable? Or just how messy the true history of Pocahontas really is? Each week, we are breaking down the whimsy, the weirdness, and the massive creative liberties Disney took to bring these stories to the big screen. Expect plenty of fast-talking, tangents, and a constant stream of "wait... WHAT?!" moments as we strip away the fairy dust and reveal the shocking, fascinating, and sometimes creepy truth behind the magic. Grab your Mickey ears, unlearn everything you think you know, and let’s talk a lot! Stay Nerdy!

    Show notes

    Welcome to episode 2 of A Disney Nerd Talks A Lot! Today, we are tackling Pinocchio: The Wooden Menace, and trust me, the 1940 Disney movie is a cakewalk compared to the original 1883 novel by Carlo Collodi. Get ready for some unbelievable "wait... WHAT?!" moments as we expose the real Pinocchio—who wasn't a sweet little puppet, but a chaotic, aggressive menace who actually gets rid of the Talking Cricket in chapter four. Hit play to find out how a story meant for kids turned into a bizarre, dark cautionary tale!

  2. Snow White & The Choking Hazard

    Season 1, Episode 1

    Show notes

    Welcome to episode 1 of A Disney Nerd Talks A Lot! Today, we’re breaking down the movie that started it all: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Disney framed it as a sweet fairy tale, but the original Brothers Grimm story is a total horror movie. Get ready for some major "wait... WHAT?!" moments as we expose the Evil Queen's brutal original punishment and explain why the original plot makes the poisoned apple a literal choking hazard. Hit play and let's get weird!
