Mother Goose Rock ’n’ Rhyme (1990) with Box Office Gross

Chris is joined by Brian and Rob from Box Office Gross to talk about the Disney Channel oddity, Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme (1990), including how they each encountered it (or didn’t), why it works better as nostalgia than as a feature-length watch, and how its music video look reflects director Jeff Stein’s background. They run through standout bits and cameos from the stacked cast (Shelley Duvall, Little Richard, ZZ Top, Bobby Brown, Simon & Garfunkel, Cyndi Lauper, Woody Harrelson, and more!) plus the existence of multiple cuts with major pacing and scoring differences. The episode also includes a short side segment on Simply Mad About the Mouse (1991), a VHS/LaserDisc compilation of celebrity Disney song covers.
