A place where cast members carried real status, could build careers, feel part of something truly magical, and the unbreakable pride of being part of Walt Disney's living legacy before the corporate era took over.

Is the Carousel of Progress building at Disneyland worth saving? Is it time for it to go? A building that housed one of the last attractions that Walt Disney personally created and approved contains a lot of nostalgia.

Take a listen and see where your hosts land on this question. 42 Minutes.

Your hosts, and a guest, unpack the horrifying details around the Carousel of Progress. Walt Disney's own 1964 World's Fair gem that has spun tales of technological wonder for over 60 years, is getting its first major "upgrade" in three decades. Imagineering's track record of butchering icons (remember the Splash Mountain purge or the Tiki Room's endless glitches?), the eerie concept art of Walt in his blue sweater spouting pre-recorded optimism, and whispers of even bigger changes to the finale, like slapping in AI smart homes and VR gimmicks, that could turn this nostalgic rotary theater into a dated tech demo faster than you can say "great big beautiful tomorrow." 60 Minutes.

We're exposing which iconic Disney destination has been gutted by an avalanche of intellectual property (IP) overload, obliterating the soul of its original vision. 66 Minutes.

From Marvel's superhero slump to Pixar's identity crisis and those live-action remakes that bombed harder than a villain's evil plan, is Disney's vast empire of IPs (think Star Wars, the MCU, and every fairy tale ever) trapped in a massive "show hole" sucking in billions without spitting out profits? 56 Minutes.
