Is there a bigger sin than animal cruelty? Nicole, Rolando AND Eddie Z get into this week as they discuss one of Disney's most notorious villainesses, Cruella De Vil. But is she really all that bad? What makes her so "hated?" How did Cruella's character evolve between 1961's animated-feature, "101 Dalmatians" and 1996's live-action remake starring Glenn Close. And, in retrospect, is Cruella as evil as we make her out to be. Then they pivot to the 2021 Disney reimagining, "Cruella" starring Emma

The fight you've all been waiting for is finally here. Rolando versus Nicole? Nope - lower those expectations. It's Godzilla versus King Kong. Or just Kong as he's been dethroned or something. We don't know. We never saw "Kong: Skull Island." But before we talk about 2021's "Godzilla Vs. Kong," Rolando and Nicole go way back in time and discuss 1933's "King Kong" and 1954's "Godzilla." One of these films would change filmmaking forever. The other will spawn a Kaiju craze. But what is the depth
