This episode is being posted later than was planned, so let’s get right to it:

Originally, we’d planned to split our Franchise Look-back on the Disney Renaissance films (nine of them!) into two episodes.  Unfortunately, scheduling issues forced us to combine them both into one monstrous episode (coming next week).  As such, we had a free week and a spontaneous topic arise within the last couple days prior to the recording of this episode. 

The chosen topic was a top five list: Active Directors.  You’ll have to listen to hear each participant’s particular criteria for what that means, but you get the gist.  On hand was Nick Powell (in his first hosting gig), Pat, Kristen, and Jay.

Also on tap:

* Rants and Raves of the Week
* Name That Film Times Five (tentatively titled)

A few notes:
