So I'm kind of fascinated with "The Black Cauldron". I hadn't watched it in a while, and just the fact that it's so "underground" and the blackest sheep of feature films in the Disney canon, and infamously had 12 minutes edited out after it was already made. I've looked up what little there is on the film in my Disney library of books, and have been watching investigations and reviews of it on YouTube. One guy really got to the nitty-gritty with technical specifics and storyboard comparisons and showing scenes with some cut parts "put back in" in the form of storyboard clips with dialogue. Fascinating.

"The Chronicles of Prydain" (the 5-book series "The Black Cauldron" comes from) is such a good series. With today's sophisticated special effects film wizardry, I really hope another studio gets the chance to develop a tv or film property from it.

Haha I finished it earlier! Great listen, I wont spoil anything for ya this time.

'80sSitcoms · 03-18-2019, 10:40 PM

Haha, thanks! And you already listened to it?? Cool!

It was SO great to hear Tracy, Rob, Brice, and Ilene giving commentary on SIX EPISODES (!) of "Mr. Belvedere" *, but this is SO AWESOME to hear Tracy shine on her own in the spotlight! Especially with the host actually being her best friend from the '80s! That so takes it to a whole new level!

*(can you imagine commentaries on FOL DVDs??? The core four on a classic season, and Felice and the Julies on season 1---that would have been AMAAAAAAZIIIIINGGGGGG!)

Ugh that would be sooooo epic

'80sSitcoms · 03-18-2019, 10:49 PM

This podcast is FASCINATING. I had NO IDEA she danced in a Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial!! Much less with "Carlton" from "The Fresh Prince"! lol---and they said it was all boys, and just 1 white girl and 1 black girl, wow---I've got this cued up to watch later!

'80sSitcoms · 03-18-2019, 10:53 PM

OMG the bullying she went through when her career got started...

'80sSitcoms · 03-18-2019, 11:00 PM

Okay, on a lighter note, I had no idea she did an episode of "Growing Pains"! I watched that while it was on, I'll have to check out which episode that was.

OMG she auditioned for "Facts of Life"!!! WHAAAAAA??????---!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if she auditioned for Kelly?? I hope not!! LOL!!

Whoooaaaa, did you hear her say under her breath that she and Alyssa Milano "don't really get along"?? (and she didn't say "didn't", she said "don't") Awwww, I'm sorry to hear that. I really like WTB. I wonder what the story is...

Oh neat, it turns out the two " '80s Tracys" became friends, and still are! Tracey Gold and Tracy Wells---cool, I had no idea they were friends back then.

I'm so happy we've gotten what we've received over the years, but yes: it would have been so cool to have BOTH Julies (instead of just one; what was with that?) on the DVDs, and of course Felice AND Molly. And of course, to your point, they should have been in the commentaries themselves.

I didn't say there were commentaries. I said they should have been in the commentaries!

'80sSitcoms · 03-19-2019, 12:05 AM

AH, I see, I was taking "THE" too literally, meaning there were commentaries that existed. You meant it in the figurative "they should have recorded some"! sense, lol.

'80sSitcoms · 03-19-2019, 12:12 AM

Speaking of the Michael Jackson Pepsi commercials, I don't know if I realized there was more than one---but I Googled, and it was really cool to see young kidsters Tracy and Alfonso in theirs!
