Transcript

Eli (00:02.34)
Hello and welcome to the establishing shot a podcast where we do deep dives into directors and their filmography's I am your host Eli price and We are here on episode 63 of the podcast I have a returning guest from last week Colby Ewart joining us again I introduced Colby last week. So make sure to go check out that hook episode. We had a lot of fun talking about

Spielberg's first 90s film, Exploring Cook. yeah, this week we're taking a little break from Spielberg's and we're going to do a movie draft. And, you know, I thought what better draft to do coming off of a Disney villain in Hook and with one of my biggest Disney fan friends, Colby.

Colby Ewert (01:00.086)
That's right. That's right.

Eli (01:01.796)
We should do a Disney villains draft. So that's what we're gonna be doing this week Me and Colby are we're very familiar with drafts because we we are we became friends kind of through playing fantasy football together and Nine you counted it up. Yeah, my goodness. Yeah So, yeah, we're in a lot of leagues together

Colby Ewert (01:13.236)
Absolutely.

Colby Ewert (01:18.872)
We're in nine leagues together, by the way. I counted. We're in nine.

Eli (01:29.954)
Yeah, Colby thought it would be fun to kind of share some of our fantasy football takes for those fantasy fans out there. Yeah, Colby, who's who's someone that this season you think is really going to break out or maybe a deep sleeper, someone maybe like in the middle rounds that you think people should be targeting.

Colby Ewert (01:52.526)
So there are a few wide receivers that are not priced in the top 24 or that are priced in the top 24, excuse me, that I think that have top 12 upside. The biggest one being Jayden Reed for the Green Bay Packers. So last year he was number eight in fantasy points per route run, number five in fantasy points per target. He was just super efficient with 10 touchdowns last year.

Eli (01:57.613)
Yeah.

Eli (02:05.068)
Mm

Eli (02:09.142)
Okay. Yeah.

Eli (02:21.89)
Yeah

Colby Ewert (02:22.656)
I think he is gonna be the alpha in that offense, even though he is not necessarily an alpha size, his alpha skill level, just the way that he's, his Yak is insane, like legit. He's such a special player. He's one of those players that's like Debo that every time he touched the ball, I do think he could score. So, I don't know, just he has rushing upside as well. I think he's gonna rush this year as.

Eli (02:29.753)
Yeah, yeah Okay

Colby Ewert (02:50.658)
just because they only have Josh Jacobs. So I think he's gonna be like a Devo light, almost.

Eli (02:53.976)
Yeah.

Yeah. okay. I haven't thought about that in that way, but, some people are listening and they're like, what? didn't, I didn't sign up for a fantasy football. Probably always bringing the heat with the analytics. don't, I don't have any of the analytics on hand. I'm just like looking at my teams and I'm like, okay, who did I take? Who do I have several of in different leagues? yeah, I think, so as far as like a breakout,

It's hard to say. Like, I think that, I just had somebody pulled up for one. think, probably keep an eye out on Xavier worthy. the reason being is, he's, he's just, he's super fast. He has the best quarterback in the league thrown to him. it seems like they already had a connection in camp and, I, Andy.

Colby Ewert (03:38.03)
Okay, I like that.

Colby Ewert (03:47.479)
Absolutely.

Eli (03:54.476)
Andrew Reed is just going to scheme him up to like destroy defenses, I think. so I wasn't huge, like I wasn't like super huge on him for a while, but then I was just like thinking about it and like, man, Hollywood Brown is already like dealing with the injury. like, yeah. So I think.

Colby Ewert (04:11.15)
He's always hurt though. I mean, like literally he's hurt 24 seven. He'll be hurt with something else next week. So.

Eli (04:20.004)
I think he's probably a good like middle round target. And I had somebody else queued up too. think Taijay Spears is probably another one that's like going under the radar. I think he could be handling like 50 % of the running back shares with Tony Pollard and be just as good, if not better than Tony Pollard with the ball. So those are two that, that I, I think honestly though, like

Rashi Rice is probably a good target too in the middle rounds. But yeah. And my other one along those lines is Calvin Ridley. DHOP is hurt. Who else are they throwing the ball to there? So he's just going to get a ton of targets. But yeah, what about somebody that you are not big on?

Colby Ewert (04:51.776)
dude, Rashi Rice, his value is insane right now. It seems like he's gonna play, so.

Colby Ewert (05:03.96)
True, true.

Colby Ewert (05:15.202)
so this is just at ADP. Okay. So this guy is a second round pick. and I just think it's insane, but Drake London, so I, so I liked Drake London, but I just think he's a, I just think he's a fatal is ADP. It's insane. He's being taken over over players like Mike Evans, Devante Adams.

Eli (05:18.972)
Sure.

Eli (05:25.196)
Yeah, I'm kind of on board with that. Yeah, same.

Eli (05:34.05)
Yeah.

ADP being average draft position for the the uninitiated fantasy football people. He's he's being basically he's being draft. Yeah, basically he's being drafted in fantasy in the second round and it's going to be hard to like return on that value. Basically. Yeah, I agree. I think somebody I'm trying to it's hard.

Colby Ewert (05:42.316)
Yes. So I mean, you're having to take your take over crystal lava.

Eli (06:05.188)
I'm trying to look because I probably don't have the players that I didn't want to so let me look at, I'm going to look at the ADP to see. I think, man, I wasn't prepared for this part. I think,

Colby Ewert (06:14.766)
That's true, that's true. Look at my team, usually hate my teams.

Eli (06:34.422)
It's going to be hard for, I think honestly, like Chris Olave is someone that like, I think is good, but I don't know that that offense is going to like, cause I mean, right now he is in ADP. is the.

Colby Ewert (06:56.184)
Second round.

Eli (06:59.204)
But he's, he's, yeah, he's second round, but he's the number 12 wide receiver off the board. I just don't think he's going to finish. I don't, I mean, he might finish like maybe he might finish like at the backend of the top 24, but I just don't see him. I don't know. I just don't see him finishing and ties a top 12 wide receiver. I, I don't, I don't, I guess I don't just don't really get it. Like.

Colby Ewert (06:59.244)
He's right around Drake London.

Colby Ewert (07:18.829)
Mm -hmm.

Colby Ewert (07:26.292)
Yeah, so it's it's all about car for me. Yeah, just because can you get into the ball because

Eli (07:27.682)
You don't have a good quarterback. Like they don't have an offensive line. yeah. So that's probably, he's probably one of mine. That's like for a second round pick, I'm just like, I'll pass. and then, yeah. The other one, the other one that I think is like, there's no way he's returning value is Deandre Swift.

Colby Ewert (07:44.248)
Yeah. Give me more stability. Give me Mike Evans.

Colby Ewert (07:55.539)
gosh.

Eli (07:56.184)
He's going like in the third and fourth round and I just like he's not, I just don't think he's gonna be doing it.

Colby Ewert (08:04.494)
Yeah. Roshan Johnson. Watch out.

Eli (00:02.335)
But yeah, Colby and I thought it'd be fun to share a little bit of our, fantasy football love for, maybe some listeners out there that might be interested in that. and it, know, it's appropriate. We're doing a draft on the episode and drafts are a big part of the fantasy world. So, yeah, so it was fun. So we are going to move into our Disney villains draft now. for those of you who have never listened to a movie draft before the

The way I like to explain it for people unfamiliar with drafts is that it's basically like picking your favorite, your, it's basically picking your kickball team out on the playground as a kid. You know, you want to, you want to make sure you have the best players, best, guys that can kick the ball the farthest so that you can win. but you know, every once in a while you're, you gotta pick your best friend. He might not be the best kickball player.

Colby Ewert (00:46.466)
There you go.

Eli (01:01.493)
But, you know, you've got to pick your best friend on the team. And so that happens with the movies drafts a little bit sometimes too. Maybe most people think this movie isn't good, but it's one of my favorites. So I have to pick it, you know? so, yeah, we're doing Disney villains. So that's a little bit different as far as movie drafts goes, we're going to be drafting, the movie and the, but especially the villain from the movie. So the villain is.

Colby Ewert (01:01.517)
Right.

Colby Ewert (01:15.086)
for sure.

Eli (01:31.561)
And so I guess the hiccup that puts in it is even if you like the movie less, it's all about the villain. Is the villain a great villain? And so like, you know, maybe you like this movie more, but you like the villain in the other movie. Well, you want to make sure you have the best villains. And so that's a, I think that's a fun little,

Colby Ewert (01:42.382)
Okay, I hear you.

Eli (01:57.951)
change up to the normal system so that'll it'll be fun. We're basically like picking care drafting characters in this one instead of like the movie in and of itself but the obviously the movie plays into it and makes a bad movie might make an otherwise good villain like not that great so you know it's part is still part of it.

But yeah, so we're gonna go back and forth Colby is gonna have the first pick and we're gonna pick five Disney villains each we're including Pixar on this we talked about that beforehand Most people kind of see Pixar as part of the Disney universe. So Yeah, and it is Whenever I like rank the movies I rank them in separate lists. I rank like Pixar movies against Pixar movies and

Colby Ewert (02:39.616)
It is, it totally is.

Colby Ewert (02:47.843)
Yeah.

Eli (02:50.751)
Disney classics against Disney classics, but you know, that's a different thing. for this we're including any, I, you know, I, I didn't think about live action. you, if you did have some live action stuff on your list, that's cool. I didn't prepare any for mine because I just honestly didn't think about live action Disney. was just thinking about the, animated stuff. So,

Colby Ewert (03:16.717)
Yeah.

Me either.

Eli (03:21.245)
Okay, well we're on the same page then. Okay, sweet. Well, Colby, you have the first overall pick. Who are you going with? Try not to break my heart too much.

Colby Ewert (03:22.712)
Yeah.

Colby Ewert (03:32.162)
You know, I don't know if you're gonna take this character, but you know, sometimes, and similar to fantasy football, you gotta take the most stable player. Just safety net. This is my Christian McCaffrey. I'm gonna take Hades.

Eli (03:46.483)
Yeah, yeah.

Eli (03:52.277)
Okay.

Colby Ewert (03:53.622)
because he's probably my favorite. He's my favorite villain because he's so funny. Just just a hilarious presence, but he's also like pure evil. And so it's just he's just a great villain. He's very entertaining.

Eli (03:58.547)
Yeah. yeah.

Eli (04:05.731)
-huh.

Eli (04:09.956)
Yeah, yeah for sure he's he's one that's like high up He's not like the top but he's like high up on my list Even though like I'm not as big on Hercules as a movie But like as far as villains goes like he's top -notch dude. He's he's hilarious. man Who is it that James Woods? that dude he's like knocks it out of the park with the voice performance

Colby Ewert (04:16.802)
Yeah.

Colby Ewert (04:23.327)
He's a good villain. He's top notch.

Colby Ewert (04:34.661)
yeah.

Eli (04:37.191)
Super yeah, super funny. And then yeah, he's Hades. So, you know, he's evil Okay Hades as her and from the movie Hercules great pick I mean, yeah super solid. I think a lot of people I think a lot of people are really gonna respect that because a lot of people Love Hercules a lot more than I do but I'm gonna go with

Colby Ewert (04:42.606)
For sure.

Eli (05:06.603)
My next pick is whenever I think of Disney villain, this is like one of the first ones that comes to mind. I think she might be like the best one. I don't know. It's, it's always debatable, but I, any Disney villain that has her own song talking about how evil she is, I think deserves to be taken. And I'm going with, Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians.

Colby Ewert (05:34.227)
Do

Eli (05:37.041)
Yes, exactly. So Cruella DeVille, she is pure evil. Her name, she wants to kill puppies. I mean, it doesn't get any more evil than that. Yeah. It's a reason why I didn't really care for the Cruella movie with Emma Stone, because it's like it.

Colby Ewert (05:47.118)
She wants to kill puppies. That's just, that enough, that alone is just, you are just an evil soul.

Eli (06:05.287)
It makes it seem like, she wouldn't like by the end of the movie, kind of like sympathize with her and you're like, she wouldn't really kill puppies. But then like, it's like, yes, it's like, yeah, it's like, yes, she will. She really will kill puppies. I don't understand what this movie wants me to think. so yeah, with, with her own evil theme song, I'm going with cruel.

Colby Ewert (06:11.437)
Yeah.

That's not what this movie's about. Right.

Colby Ewert (06:33.134)
I like that one.

Eli (06:34.325)
So, yeah.

Colby Ewert (06:36.162)
This next one is tough, because I have two that I really, really, like. But I'm gonna go Jafar. I have to go to Jafar, just because, one, I think Aladdin might be my favorite movie of this era, of the Disney Renaissance. And Jafar is just a great villain. Yeah, he's very smart.

Eli (06:44.597)
Mmm.

Eli (06:53.124)
yeah, okay.

Eli (06:57.843)
He is. He's a smart villain. You don't get a ton of those somehow in Disney.

Colby Ewert (07:03.063)
Yeah.

Colby Ewert (07:06.424)
So I'm a fan of Jafar.

Eli (07:08.063)
Yeah, he's got a great, like just character design too. He's like, he's like lanky and he's got like the, flowing turbines and like the color scheme is awesome. And he's got the Cobra staff. yeah, he's, he's a great one. I had, he was one of my top ones too. yeah, great pick Jafar from Aladdin.

Colby Ewert (07:12.59)
Mm

Eli (07:37.935)
My number two, I'm going to go with one of my, villain from one of my favorite Disney movies. And I'm just going to go ahead and pick Scar from the Lion King. Yeah. So I had Scar. I've gotten my top two. These, you know, I'm just going to let you in on these are, these were my top two that I'm, that I've gotten so far.

Colby Ewert (07:50.131)
that was my next pick. I was between Jafar and Scar.

Colby Ewert (08:03.832)
Okay.

Eli (08:07.475)
so I'm really happy with my draft so far. Scar is, mean, he's a great villain. He's, you know, he's just evil. He's vindictive, you know, he's, got a great song to sing. that's, I think that song is underrated in Lion King, soundtrack. Like it's a really good song. be prepared.

Colby Ewert (08:34.978)
Be prepared.

Eli (08:37.577)
Like has some like witty lines in it. So yeah. Yeah, I'm going with Scar. That's my second pick, fourth overall. You're up again. Third pick.

Colby Ewert (08:41.166)
It's good.

Colby Ewert (08:50.358)
Yeah, I'm kind of kind of going in between two options here. I have a sleeper pick that I don't think you're going to take. So I'm going to hold on to him. OK.

Eli (09:02.34)
Ooh, exciting. Yeah.

Colby Ewert (09:08.354)
but I am gonna go Maleficent.

Eli (09:13.237)
Hmm. Yeah. Okay.

Colby Ewert (09:15.134)
So just because if you want to talk about iconic, you know, she's like when I think of Disney villains, she is probably one of the first ones I think of. And they, you know, the Disney parks actually push her a lot on merchandise and just kind of like. Right. Exactly. So and then she is going to be one of the headliners of the new villains land. It's coming to Magic Kingdom in twenty twenty seven.

Eli (09:19.805)
Yes, absolutely.

Eli (09:30.302)
Mm -hmm. Yeah.

He has that iconic look, you know.

Eli (09:42.077)
yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Colby Ewert (09:44.608)
or a eater, I guess. So, excited about that.

Eli (09:46.387)
Yeah. Yeah, that's, that's going to be really cool. I feel like that'll probably be. Maybe like that, that's like a few years down the road and that's probably about where I'll, where I'll probably take, try to like, you know, we want to take our kids and it'll probably be at the point where we would be ready to take them. So yeah, that'd be cool. That'll be cool.

Colby Ewert (09:56.45)
Yeah, several years.

Colby Ewert (10:08.172)
You should wait, you definitely should wait until that's there, cause it's gonna be so awesome.

Eli (10:10.803)
Yeah. huh. yeah. so Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. she, she's one that is like most people is in the top of most people's. She's not one of my top ones. I don't know. I just don't have like a huge connection to the movie Sleeping Beauty. And so she's never, I've never seen like the Maleficent movie.

Like the live action one. so yeah, I just don't have like a strong connection to her as a villain. and luckily you have let me get my top three. and I am taking Ursula from the little mermaid. she is just, she's great too. She's got a great song. I love a Disney villain that gets a great.

Colby Ewert (10:42.798)
That was good.

Colby Ewert (10:54.721)
my gosh.

Colby Ewert (11:00.62)
Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one.

Eli (11:08.681)
you know, a good song, poor unfortunate souls. Like, that's great. And she, you know, and she's, she is just like a evil octopus witch lady. And she's got like, I don't know. She just has, she just has that like classic, like Broadway musical villain, like feel to her. That's really fun. I don't know the

Colby Ewert (11:12.754)
Da

Eli (11:36.341)
The Little Mermaid isn't, is actually like a movie that like I'm lower on than like most people would be. I still like it. I just like, it's not one of the best Disney movies. A lot of people will say like it's a top Disney movie, but Ursula I think is a top Disney villain. So.

Colby Ewert (11:56.558)
Okay, and so we have two more picks after this.

Eli (11:58.667)
Two more, you have, this is your fourth pick out of five.

Colby Ewert (12:01.486)
Okay, okay. And so my next pick is definitely Gaston. So, love Beauty and the Beast. was actually, this is pretty close to home for me because I did musical theater and I played Gaston in a community theater when I was 18. So that was a very fun time and 10 years ago now, which is crazy because I'm 28 at this point. So,

Eli (12:06.479)
Good pick.

Eli (12:17.839)
nice.

Eli (12:22.185)
Yeah.

Eli (12:27.796)
Yeah, yeah.

Colby Ewert (12:30.072)
Kind of cool, just love Gaston, love, you wanna talk about a great song, he has a fantastic song. So, gotta go with Gaston.

Eli (12:35.031)
yeah. Yeah. his song isn't about how evil he is. His song is about how great he is. This was maybe even more evil. yeah. Gaston is a good one. that's why my beauty and the beast is my wife's favorite Disney movie. And it's like, I think it's like my number two or three, like it's just a phenomenal movie.

Colby Ewert (12:44.972)
Yeah, right. Right.

Colby Ewert (13:02.796)
It's up there. It's so good. And the live action is so good too.

Eli (13:06.621)
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So this is where it gets tough for me because my next those I think I had like those those three I have so far Cruella, Scar and Ursula. And then I think I had like Jafar and Hades and like that that same sort of top tier. And then like the next tier down gets a little

Iffy, I'm like, I don't know who I should go with. So.

Colby Ewert (13:41.218)
This is a go get your guy moment.

Eli (13:43.667)
I know it's tough. think what I'm going to do is.

Eli (13:51.519)
man, my wife's going to be mad at me because she, there's a one that she really wanted me to take that I don't think I'm going to end up with. but I'll do it. My top honorable mention, unless you get, you take it. I think what I'm going to do is I think I can save my fifth pick. I don't think you're going to take it. and I'm going to go with syndrome from the Incredibles.

Colby Ewert (14:01.177)
no.

Colby Ewert (14:17.878)
No way bro. I cannot believe you just did that. This is, there's no way. There's no way. So I can't, I was going to take Syndrome with my next pick. This is so sad.

Eli (14:29.323)
He's he he has a great like villain origin story like at the beginning of the movie You know, he's he's Evil in a different way. It's like a pitiful evil, you know It's like but it's like the classic like superhero villain like that has like some beef with the superhero and really

Colby Ewert (14:37.602)
Yeah, yeah.

Colby Ewert (14:47.116)
Yeah.

Eli (14:58.249)
All he wants to do is like get back at the superhero. He doesn't really have any other motive other than that. and, and he's actually like, he's like super smart and capable other than the fact that like, he's a little bit clumsy with both his technology and his plans. Like he doesn't, he, he's too smart for his own good. Probably he doesn't like, he thinks he's got it all figured out. Maybe he doesn't. so kind of the class.

Colby Ewert (15:05.016)
Yeah, that's all syndrome, incredibly.

Eli (15:28.051)
all the classic like villain tropes and then Incredibles is just like a phenomenal movie so yeah so I'm sorry I disappointed you and okay there's all there are a lot of good ones stills

Colby Ewert (15:33.931)
yeah, that's one of my favorites. That's definitely one of my favorites.

No, it's okay. I have another one I like. So, yeah. So this one, you know, this, I really like this one because the twist of this movie was really good. And the first time I watched it, it really did surprise me. But I'm gonna take Ernesto de la Cruz from Coco. Just because.

Eli (15:56.169)
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Now I can say now I can tell my wife that you stole Ernesto Delacruz and I wasn't able to get him instead of that. I wasn't going to take him. He is. No, he really is.

Colby Ewert (16:05.39)
He's a really he's a really good villain he's a really good villain, I mean he's someone that's he's so hateable Yeah, but you don't like it really does kind of hit you in the face because I did not expect it the first time I watched it But just really enjoyed him as a villain because and it's kind of Yeah, no he they's awesome and like this good guy and

Eli (16:15.734)
yeah.

Eli (16:20.595)
Yeah, I didn't either. Yeah.

Eli (16:28.575)
He kind of draws you in too and makes you think he's cool. Yeah.

Colby Ewert (16:35.321)
He ends up not being.

Colby Ewert (17:08.824)
Dude, me too. Bro, it's such a beautiful movie.

Eli (17:33.035)
I want to say like later in 2019. I think it was when Disney Plus launched. Disney Plus launched in late 2019 and my wife, yes. And so my wife and I were like, we thought it would be fun to watch chronologically through all the Disney animated classics. I think there's 63 now. So we were like, we'll start with the very first one. We'll watch through all of them.

Colby Ewert (17:43.916)
Yeah, because it was right before the pandemic.

Colby Ewert (17:55.118)
That's so cool.

Eli (18:03.461)
and we each like made our own like rankings list as we watched through them. and so, I was incredibly surprised of how much I loved this movie. it's like, it's, it looks great. It's got really great, like underrated songs. And then like the plot was just like so deep and interesting and like,

Didn't expect it is like a very actually like pretty adult Like plot and themes and rest and this is this is this is gonna keep you in wrestling with like faith even and so I This came out as like with with that watch through of all the movies as my favorite Disney animated classic and I'm going with

Colby Ewert (18:40.603)
I'm trying to figure out which one you're talking about.

Colby Ewert (18:47.06)
Okay, yes. Yeah, yeah.

Eli (18:59.071)
the villain Frollo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's a phenomenal movie and he's like, he's such a like conniving, just bad dude. Like you just hate him.

Colby Ewert (19:03.224)
Such a good movie. Such a good movie.

Colby Ewert (19:10.114)
Yeah.

Colby Ewert (19:15.05)
He like literally like has a whole song about like lusting over her over. I know it's crazy like it for a Disney movie too, like It's just wild

Eli (19:18.589)
I know. Yeah. Yeah. And like, he's like, know, he's like the kind of classic like manipulating religion to like oppress people. And it's just like gross and like terrible. and so yeah, he's my pick. It lets me highlight my, my new favorite as far as like this new watch through.

Colby Ewert (19:32.909)
Yeah.

Eli (19:48.233)
My new favorite Disney movie of all time, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. So yeah, that's our draft. Before we read back our final picks, let's do some honorable mentions. Who's some people that got left off of our list that you want to give a shout out to?

Colby Ewert (19:53.059)
good one.

Colby Ewert (20:10.382)
You know, I guess Captain Hook, I mean, I think Captain Hook is really great, but just, we just talked about this for, you know, Hook all episodes, so last episode, yeah. So just wanted to give highlights to some other characters, but Dr. Facilier also from The Prince of the Frog is a pretty, pretty great villain. Yeah.

Eli (20:14.865)
Mm -hmm. Yeah, you got to give them shout out

Eli (20:22.995)
Yeah, like two hours of hook.

Eli (20:31.069)
Yes, he was up there for me. Yeah, the shadow man himself.

Colby Ewert (20:38.328)
What about you?

Eli (20:39.218)
Yeah, those are great ones. I had the prospector from Toy Story 2 up there. Sneaky Pete. He's kind of a similar like similar to Dayla Cruz and that like, you know, he's. Yeah, he's like kind of endearing, but then like totally does the flip on you. Yeah, prospector. Great one.

Colby Ewert (20:45.77)
Okay, sneaky P, okay.

Colby Ewert (20:52.834)
Yes, for sure. When he becomes evil, he's really evil.

Eli (21:08.061)
Randall, think is a good one in Monsters, Inc. Even though Waternoose is like mastermind, Randall is still like a great villain.

Colby Ewert (21:16.312)
Right.

Well, he's in bed with him. So yeah, it's like they're together, you know?

Eli (21:20.765)
Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah, for sure. My wife would be upset if I didn't give a shout out to Mother Gothel from Tangled. Great one. Mother Knows Best is a great song. Yes. And then, of course, like, Yzma and the Emperor's New Groove. Great. And Hopper. You got Hopper in a Bug's Life. Great villain.

Lots -o.

Eli (21:50.555)
yeah, so there's a, there's a lot of good ones. lots of really good Disney villains. Those are probably the main ones I would shout out. So yeah. so I guess what we'll do is we'll read back our picks, and, on, the Monday following the release of this episode, we'll get those polls up and let the people decide.

who had the best Disney villain draft. you know, I, I'm, I'm a pretty, I'm pretty confident in my list. I feel really good about it, but I mean, you have the, some top hitters too. it's, it's honestly like looking at our lists, it's like, man, I don't know what people will pick. so yeah. So

Colby Ewert (22:21.006)
Vote for me.

Colby Ewert (22:32.758)

Great picks, great draft. Here is mine. I ended up with Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians, Scar from The Lion King, Ursula from The Little Mermaid,

Syndrome from the Incredibles and Frollo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. So man, we got some good characters. Yeah, that was a lot of fun.

So even more so, and even more so, I think than the new ones, it's got that, it's just got that classic feel to it. You know, the new ones have like the CGI, which is good, but, yeah.
