Hyuck!! This week Raven and Campbell discuss animated food, road trips, and possibly the best soundtrack from the 90s in the 1995 animated film, A Goofy Movie.
Where to watch: Disney+
 
The Goof Recipe*:
- 1 3oz packet orange colored jello
- 1 3oz packet yellow colored jello
- 1 3oz packet red colored jello
- 1.5 cups vodka
- 3 cup boiling water
- 1.5 cups cold water
 
*Each packet makes 1-2 dozen jello shots depending on container size. You will not need all of this jello to construct the pizza (wink wink).
 
For each jello color, pour 1 cup of boiling water and 1 jello packet into a heat-proof bowl and stir until combined. Add ½ cup cold water and ½ cup vodka. Pour into a mold or container** and allow to set in the fridge, preferably overnight. Cut and shape different jello layers (e.g., orange for the crust, yellow for the cheese, and red for the pepperonis). 
 
**Note: thinner layers will set more firmly; recommend no more than 3/4 inch thick.
