This week we’re talking about one of the most popular Disney movies of all time, starring one of the most popular comedians of all time – by which we of course mean Gilbert Gottfried. It’s 1992’s Aladdin! We talk about the many ways in which this film holds up nearly 30 years later…and the few notable ways in which it doesn’t.
