On this very special episode of Mousterpiece Cinema, Josh and Michael rejoin the many exploits and misadventures of Herbie, the Volkswagen with a mind of its own, as he finally goes racing with Jim Douglas in Europe, in Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. But this is no average podcast; you’ll find out, just as Josh did, some important information about his co-host. What torture did Michael suffer at the hand of his three sisters? How does anime or manga relate to Herbie the Love Bug? Plus, you’ll also hear about the hideous fashion faux pas on display in Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. Yes, it’s another silly, wild episode of the show; when Herbie’s involved, this podcast comes alive! Check out the new episode right now–you won’t regret it!

Josh isn't just a Disney buff, a film buff, or a TV buff. He's a pop-culture obsessive, through and through. His long journey began in Western New York and has taken him to the American Southwest, where he resides with his wife and six--count 'em, six--cats. His favorite Disney movie (non-Pixar) is Beauty and the Beast, but his favorite Pixar movie is Ratatouille, and he thinks the latter is at least five times better than the former. 
Overall though nice podcast, I really enjoy the parts where illogical things are questioned like not noticing a huge diamond in a cars gas tank for an hour or so, heck for several hours!
I think that the diamond thief stuff was shoe-horned it at some point thanks to the success of the “Pink Panther” films of the time, it more so detracted from the Monte Carlos momentum overall.
