In the sixty-first episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes James Gruenberg, Andy Atherton, and Mirandia Berthhold to discuss which Disney Animated Films deserve a place on their respective lists. Is the Lion King a no-brainer? What about Aladdin? Does the Princess and the Frog grab a spot? Does Beauty and the Beast and Peter Pan deserve a place?   After that, they discuss which Pixar Films will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Toy Story shouldn't get a spot? Will WALL-E be included? Is Finding Nemo in the conversation? What about Up or A Bug's Life?

In the final chapter of our Disney Trilogy, we step into the glory days — the Renaissance era that gave us The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, and more. It was a decade of unforgettable music, groundbreaking animation, and cultural dominance that made Disney feel unstoppable. But what happens when a studio (or any empire) grows too big for its own good? From direct-to-video sequels to mega-franchise acquisitions, we explore how Disney's growth brought both triumph and trouble — and what that teaches us about pride, purpose, and faith. Join us as we celebrate Disney's brightest moments, reflect on the dangers of bigness without depth, and connect it all back to the biblical call to faithfulness over fame.

Davy Liu, former Disney animator (The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan), walked away from Hollywood at the height of his career. In this episode, Davy joins Jim Mason, HSLDA President, to discuss how leaving Disney fueled his passion to launch Kendo Films, an animation studio to create high-quality, biblically based films for kids. Learn how Davey is inspiring homeschool parents to nurture creativity in their children, why every child is a “diamond,” and get a sneak peek at his upcoming film, The Giant Leaf. “Davy Liu, as a kid, he was a troublemaker because he loved to scribble on textbooks. Now he grew up and found his creativity; his innovations, and he's able to connect his faith with his Maker. I just want to give parents hope, saying that your kids at home [might not be able to] sit still, and that doesn't follow the perfect rhythm of academic studies. There's hope.”—Davy Liu

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Gemma Marinus, founder and principal of Stageworx School of Performing Arts, and 12-year-old scholarship student Simphiwe Ndlovo, as Born to Perform 2025: The Future Takes the Stage prepares to light up Montecasino’s Teatro this September. Far more than a theatre production, the show is a vibrant celebration of South Africa’s next generation — young singers, dancers, and actors stepping into their power. With over two decades of experience mentoring youth through the arts, Marinus has created a platform where talent meets opportunity. Simphiwe, already a standout performer with experience in The Lion King and an invite to the BRICS Young Songwriter competition in Russia, is proof of what happens when potential is nurtured. Born to Perform isn’t just a show — it’s a movement of hope, inspiration, and the belief that the future of South Africa is already centre stage. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Rylend, what drew you to Evel Knievel as a character for a comic, and how did you approach blending historical fact with fictional storytelling?3. The series is set during the lead-up to the Caesars Palace fountain jump. How did you decide which real-life events to keep and which moments to fictionalize?4. For readers who may not be familiar with Evel beyond the stunts, what do you hope The Last Gladiator will teach them about who he was as a person?5. The comic promises high-octane action and a modern-day Western feel. Can you walk us through the visual and narrative choices that give the series that unique tone?6.

This week on Sweet or Savory, we're joined by the incredibly talented Ashley Argota Torres — actor, singer, writer, and producer.Ashley takes us back to the very beginning of her journey in entertainment, from competing in talent shows to booking her first national tour in The Lion King at age 11, where she even met Kobe Bryant. She went on to star in Nickelodeon's True Jackson VP alongside Keke Palmer, Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures, Disney Channel's How to Build a Better Boy, and is now writing and producing her own projects.We talk about the differences between life as a child actor and navigating the industry today, and Ashley opens up about her exclusive People article, where she shared the truth about her toxic relationship with her mom.

Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey take on the outrageous 2002 spoof comedy Austin Powers in Goldmember, the third film in the beloved spy parody franchise directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, The Campaign). Mike Myers (Wayne's World, Shrek) once again delivers multiple hilarious performances as Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard, and the eccentric villain Goldmember. This time, Austin teams up with Foxxy Cleopatra, played by Beyoncé (Dreamgirls, The Lion King), to stop Dr. Evil and Goldmember from using a time machine to take over the world. The ensemble cast includes Michael York (Logan's Run) as Basil Exposition, Robert Wagner (Hart to Hart) as Number Two, Seth Green (Family Guy, Robot Chicken) as Scott Evil, and Verne Troyer as Mini-Me. The film also features memorable cameos from Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Danny DeVito, Steven Spielberg, Britney Spears, and Kevin Spacey in the iconic opening sequence. Packed with over-the-top humor, outrageous disguises, the hilarious "Hard Knock Life" rap with Dr. Evil and Mini-Me, and plenty of pop-culture references, Goldmember cemented itself as one of the most quotable and absurd entries in the Austin Powers series. Whether it's Austin's awkward reunion with his father Nigel Powers (Michael Caine, The Dark Knight, The Cider House Rules), Beyoncé's stylish spy antics, or Goldmember's bizarre obsession with gold, the movie remains a nostalgic comedy trip and a defining parody of early 2000s pop culture.

Have you ever given yourself a deadline to make a dream come true? For singer and actress Rashada Dawan, that deadline was one year. After being laid off and with bills piling up, she made a 12-month commitment to pursue her art full-time before turning to a more “practical” career. Just days before she was set to take an exam to become a police offer, she received a life-altering phone call.  In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Rashada Dawan to talk about her journey from Chicago church choirs to national stages.

Marq is back on the show this episode and ready to get down to business and discuss Disneyland Paris with Beth. (You thought he was going to defeat the Huns, didn't you? We too were hoping for a dramatic, Mulan-style entrance where he defeated a villainous horde, but we'll take what we can get). Rémy Gets a Remake, kinda: Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy is closing soon for a major refurb. We discuss the new queue scene, technical upgrades, and the controversial move to 2D. Is it a smart practical choice or a loss of identity? We break it down. Merch Madness:We cover the two hottest (and most contrasting) ways to lighten your wallet: the timelessly elegant souvenir spoons vs the impossibly elusive Toy Story Playland key. May the odds be ever in your favor (they won't be). Feel-Good Magic: A quick, nice note on Disneyland Paris's wonderful long-running partnership with Secours Populaire Français. THE BIG ONE: The permits are granted! The Lion King plan, codenamed "Project Sun," is officially a go. Listener Mail: A Grand Tour We help out Barb from Manitoba, who is planning an epic around-the-world trip from Canada to India and wants to squeeze in some Disney magic. We answer her questions on: The best time to stop at DLP to end jet lag fast. How many days you need to see the resort without rushing. Which hotel offers the best bang for your buck (or loonie). And we tackle the ultimate question: is it even possible to add the three Asian Disney parks to this already monumental itinerary? (Spoiler: We have thoughts.) All this, and we manage to keep the podcast coup attempts to a minimum. It's good to have you back, Marq.

This is because if he was, there'd be no story for the kids to take care of -- BUT... there are a few exceptions... - Brian and Nate search for those elusive MG/YA unicorns: the good and present father. - What about To Kill a Mockingbird's Atticus Finch? Jeremiah Land from Peace Like a River? Guido in Life is Beautiful? In these stories, the good dad becomes the protagonist. - Uncle Frank in 100 Cupboards? Nate explains why he'd never call Uncle Frank a good father figure. - Heading further afield: what about Mustafa from The Lion King? Bandit from Bluey? Gomez Addams??
 - Finally the guys turn to real life: Ralph Moody's father, Pa Wilder, Bible characters including Nate's pick for best dad in the whole Bible: Jesus's earthly father, Joseph.
