Listen Now

I've got a whale of a tale to tell you lads, a whale of a tale indeed, about the guys in the vault and their special guest, a traveling bard by the name of sunset, and they'll watch a movie! You would totally get that if you watched this episodes movie 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. 

Hey wait, where is Crankshaft today? Out and about you say? Well I suppose the show will have to go on without him. In his absense we learn more about Dr. Torg's new play about himself from the actor that is playing Matt in the soon to be masterpiece. They also watch Rob Roy, The Highland Rogue, which they seemed to just want to be more like The Sword and the Rose.

It's just the Vault boys this time, watching a very entertaining movie from the far past. Listen to them discover the sass inherent in the characters, and delight in the fun dialogue as they comment on the fun dialoge. Also Dr. Torg has some big news about his acting career!

You can fly you can fly you can fly! Well not really, but listening to the dulcet tones of special guest Emma Fyffe playing an encrouching warlord queen will have you walking on air, which is basically the same thing. Also the vault crew watched the Disney animated classic Peter Pan. 

Looking for tales of adventure, daring manouvers, and an odd amount of arrow murder. Well the Vault Fellas (not sure if that one will stick) have just the movie for you! The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men. They also find a space boy who is a refugee from the harrowing times of the 1990s. His tribe tried to escape the looming spector of Y2K, but could have have stumbled upon a much worse fate? Yes, the answer is yes because Y2K didn't really do anything... or did it?

Be careful of what you wish for, or not, I'm not your parental unit. Do what you are going to do. Oh, and by the way, if what you are going to do is listening to this particular transmission then you are in for a treat. The Vault gang finally has a guest again, just when things needed to be shaken up some. Their new pal Frankie the cactus is going to remind you about how cool your particular time period is, and make his way right to your heart. Don't believe me? Just listen and find out!

Yarr, it be time for another Vault A113, this time round the Vault Crew watches the classic tale of treasure and islands; Treasure Island. Will they understand the deep themes of the film, or get caught up with a young boy shoots a pirate in self defense? Hard to say. Also there's a little extra treat after the credits.

Been wondering where those vault boys have been, what with their madcap adventures and zany antics? Well wonder no longer because the boys are back in Vault A113, ready to dive into some of life's most difficult questions. They don't actually struggle with any of those this episode, but I imagine those kind of questions are on their way. Either way, it's good to be back!

This week the vault dwellers watch a movie that is well before it's time, Cinderella! They are also joined by an expert on crypto-zoology named Gwendolyn. Dr. Torg is also back... kind of.

This week the vault is visited by a long dormant hyperdimensional cube. He brings with him amazing insight on the multiverse, and how Ichabod Crane is the grand reason behind all life. We also learn about why it's a bad idea to let a frog drive.

Doctor Torg is out and about again, so Matt and Crankshaft decided to catch up on answering questions. They also try a new method of recording that might still need a little polish.

Sorry to say, but this week Doctor Torg is out of comission, too much tainted molerat meat, we've all been there. Elsa is very dissapointed, and can you blame her? That means it is up to Matt and Crankshaft to welcome their guest this week, Dronnie! Dronnie recently left the train that circumnavigates the globe to stretch his legs after a 32 year long trip, and he showed up just in time to watch a Disney movie that is positively a diamond in the rough. That's right, the Disney classic So Dear To My Heart. The classic tale of a boy and his sheep. Trust me, if you haven't already watched it, it is definitely worth a watch, especially because it make the commentary at the end even better.

This week absolutely nothing is out of the ordinary. Occasionally Melody time gets mentioned, but it's pretty much just business as usual.

This week the vault dwellers are visited by the self appointed Elsa, a student at the university, and Doctor Torg's biggest fan. Who knew? They watch the two part movie Fun and Fancy Free. The first half of the film is about Bongo the Bear, who grew up in the circus, but now must try to survive in the wild and use the skills he has aquired performing to make his mark, all the while being literally hit on by a girl bear. We've all been there right? The second story is that of Jack and Beanstalk, but with the classic trio of Donald, Goofy, and Mickey. They learn a little more about package films and try not to explore what may or may not have been some tension.

This week the Vault Dwellers tackle a pretty divisive film; Song of the South. They handle this movie with all of the poise and professionalism that you have come to expect from them. This week they are joined by somebody who can help them empathize with other people Cordon Blue, a fan of the Raiders of Oakland. They share their thoughts on the movie and learn about the raider nation from somebody on the inside. 

This week the vault dwellers meet one of largest and friendliest of the wastelanders, Delilah the enormous bear! She is a ravenous hunter, and her prey is... an education. Well, she is in luck, because the movie this week is Make Mine Music, which is like 4 movies in one. Together they talk about hat based stockholm syndromes and whether or not Heaven is closed for good. Trust me, most of it will make sense. 

This week the vault welcomes royalty... kind of. In the aftermath of X-Mas The king of New New Zealand joins the vault crew to watch The Three Caballeros, which turns out to be a really strange movie. They learn about what is going on with New New Zealand, and find out just how heavy is the head that wears the crown. Or, there might have been a gas leak. Hard to say.

This week Matt learns about the wasteland Decemember holiday of choice X-MAS! (Insert sweet metal guitar riff here) It's a no holds barred bloodsport that draws crowds from all over the wastes. Needless to say Crankshaft is getting into the holiday spirit. They watch the little known but historically interesting interesting movie Victory Through Air Power, a Disney feature about both the history of manpowered flight and the need for more air power in World War Two, there are mixed reviews. Also, no guest this week, just the regular vault boys. Also if you want to shoot us an email the email addess is VaultA113@gmail.com.

This week the vault is visited by Maggie, a wasteland aristocrat who loves shiny things, and hates to be alone. Crankshaft got a new arm and Dr. Torg tries deperately to impress their guest. Matt... probably did stuff too. The movie this week is Saludos Amigos, a semi animated look at life in South America. It raised some interesting points, but it also exposes Dr. Torg's deep disdain for ducks. Will the airplane make it over the mountain? Does Donald survive falling off of a broken suspension bridge? Does Goofy do something, well, goofy? You'll have to tune in and find out on Vault A113!

It's the year 2512 and Matt, a recently thawed P.A. is coming to terms with his new living arrangement by watching his way through the entire Disney filmography. This week we are joined by Gafunkle, a sentient and adorable plush hedgehog, and boy does this toy have a story to tell... I think I'm getting ahead of myself. He joins the Vault Crew as they watch the classic tale of Bambi. I think more things happen on this episode of the podcast than in the actual film, but that's just me.
