Mom and Isaac say farewell to the Silver Era, to Walt, and to the podcast (briefly) with 1967’s musical classic The Jungle Book! Does this film qualify as a hangout movie? How does it compare to the THREE Disney live-action reboots of itself? Is Kaa funny or scary? All this and more on our miniseries finale.
