This week on Thumb War, Jason & Rachel dive into Alien: Earth Episode 6, “The Fly.” From Joe's patronizing dialogue to Wendy's unsettling xeno-conversations, we unpack whether this mid-season episode holds up—or tanks the momentum. We also detour into plenty of entertainment news: the Degrassi TIFF doc, Alan Ritchson & Shailene Woodley's Motor City, Sydney Sweeney's boxing drama Christie, Emmy buzz for Survivor, and Andrew Santino's Disney-edited comedy special.
We're recording poolside at Disney's brand-new tower at the Polynesian Village Resort to talk all about the best Disney staycation resorts across several categories. Most people think of Walt Disney World as a place where you have to be in the parks from sunrise to fireworks, but we believe some of the very best Disney vacations happen when you never even step foot inside a park.For us, a Disney staycation is all about slowing down, relaxing, and enjoying everything the resorts have to offer. These aren't just hotels — they're destinations on their own. We're talking pools that feel like mini waterparks, restaurants that rival anything in Orlando, lounges with unbeatable theming, and hidden corners where you can kick back and unwind. Each resort has its own atmosphere, and some truly transport you to another world.In this episode, we're breaking it all down across several categories — from best pools and dining to most relaxing resorts, family favorites, and even a few hidden gems that often get overlooked. Whether you're planning your very first no-parks Disney getaway or you just want to know which resorts we think make for the perfect staycation, we've got you covered.

This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, September 7, 2025! Mike and Scott were together for the hour with some fun Disney talk! Tonight was another great show because of our callers! We start by hearing a few highlights from Scott's 3-night Disney Dream cruise out of Fort Lauderdale over the Labor Day Weekend, where he had an extended aft-facing verandah! We got into a conversation over if a 3-night cruise "scratches that itch" for a sailing or if it just goes too quickly. We had some great calls as well discussing upcoming sailings, including a Halloween on the High Seas cruise, paired with a Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom, a call about ground transportation to a cruise, and some fun Disneyland discussion as well! This and much more on today's show! Come join us in the BOGP Clubhouse this week at www.beourguestpodcast.com/discord. Please visit our website at www.beourguestpodcast.com.

It's no secret that Disney is struggling creatively. The entertainment giant is still very profitable, but in many ways, it feels like it's running on borrowed time. Marvel and "Star Wars" were legacy properties that the company acquired to boost its box-office domination, but a drastic drop in quality and an exhausting release schedule have tarnished the brand. Disney's once-vaunted animation studio now relies heavily on sequels or releasing live-action remakes of classic films. But what is far more dangerous is the devil's bargain the company has made by creating the "Disney adult." By catering to the childless consumer, Disney has locked in large short-term gains but ensured that there will be no next generation to buy into its nostalgia-based market.

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Tony Gilroy to discuss his work on Andor, the hit Disney+ series that's a prequel to Rogue One but has ambitions beyond telling the backstory of the Death Star. It is, in a very real way, a TV show about our moment and the mounting tension felt throughout the political order: from Imperial troops on the streets of civilian cities attempting to provoke conflict to Luthen Rael's (Stellan Skarsgård) campaign of violent resistance, one can't help but draw parallels to this increasingly fraught point in American history.

On this episode of **Remy's Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast**, the Roundtable is packed with fun, updates, and a little bit of nerdy lightning science as **Remy, Jen, Mike, and Nicole** all come together for a lively discussion. This week is extra special because **Nicole is officially back on the Roundtable**, bringing her energy, insight, and her fan-favorite segment to the mix.The episode begins with **The Latest Theme Park Updates**, where Remy and Jen dive into the newest happenings across Florida's parks. From attraction announcements to construction progress, the big headline of the week is all about **the awards season for theme parks**. Listeners will hear which rides and attractions stood out this year, and it turns out that **Universal's Epic Universe dominated the competition**, walking away with the majority of the honors. Remy and Jen break down exactly what made those attractions stand out and why Epic Universe is already shaking up the industry even before its grand opening.Next up, **Jen takes us back in time with her beloved segment, This Week in Disney History**. She pulls fascinating stories, key milestones, and unforgettable moments from Disney's long and magical past. Whether it's the opening of a classic attraction, the release of a legendary film, or an important turning point for the parks, Jen always manages to bring the perfect blend of trivia and storytelling to give Disney fans their history fix.After that, it's time for Remy to shine with the **Ride of the Week** segment, and this week he takes us under the sea with **Journey to Atlantis (JTA)** at SeaWorld Orlando. Remy not only shares details about the attraction's history, theming, and thrill factor, but he also brings in his own personal experience—because he actually **worked on Journey to Atlantis during his time at SeaWorld**. From behind-the-scenes stories to Imagineering-style details about the hybrid water coaster/dark ride, this segment offers listeners a ride-through both as a fan and as a cast member who got to see the attraction up close every day.Normally, this would be the spot for **Mike's Munchies**, where Mike highlights a theme park restaurant and breaks down the menu, but don't worry—it's only on pause for this episode. Instead, since Nicole is back, we decided to move her signature segment, **Getting Nerdy with Nicole**, up in the rotation. And she didn't disappoint! Nicole digs into the fascinating (and slightly scary) topic of **lightning in Florida's theme parks**. If you've ever wondered about how lightning affects attractions, guests, and even some of the most iconic park landmarks, this is the segment for you. Nicole even shares the shocking story of **August 5th at Magic Kingdom**, when **Cinderella Castle was struck by lightning**, reminding us just how powerful Florida's weather can be.From **epic award winners** to **lightning strikes on castles**, from a **mythical SeaWorld adventure** to the **quirks of Disney history**, this episode has it all. So grab your headphones, settle in, and get ready for another electrifying, magical, and fun-filled ride with the crew on **Remy's Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast**.
I've covered digital and practical effects in film and TV, but creating special effects for live theater is a whole other challenge. J&M Special Effects has been up to the task for 40 years. Their crew has worked on shows from Hadestown to Harry Potter and The Cursed Child to Disney musicals like Frozen and Aladdin. I get a behind-the-scenes tour of their Brooklyn warehouse, where failure is part of the process in figuring out how to make the magic work. I talk with partner and designer Jeremy Chernick, along with pyrotechnician Bohdan Bushnell, about how theatrical effects have evolved with new technology -- and why they can sometimes be too good at their jobs in making the impossible seem possible.

Can a Disney song really cure car sickness? That's just one of the unexpected questions JB and Sandy tackle in this wildly entertaining and unpredictable episode of The JB and Sandy Show. From viral TikTok bait bike pranks to Austin's gym locker theft epidemic, this episode is packed with laughs, local insight, and a touch of dark humor. Tricia shares her personal war against motion sickness—complete with barf bag heroics and a legendary mid-flight save by Sandy. JB reveals his latest obsession: rust-dissolving magic for car parts, and the trio dives into Austin nostalgia, recalling iconic landmarks like Holiday House and the old Austin Bolarama. But things take a turn when Sandy and JB explore their shared talent for revenge planning. From disabling intruders to forming a fictional revenge-for-hire company (“Revengers Incorporated”), their banter is equal parts hilarious and unsettling.
This week's episode is a grab bag of fun updates—from upcoming Gay Days at Disneyland to our spooky Halloween plans and more! Plus, stick around as we dive into a playful bi-lingual musical game!

Could Disney's empire be more than just innocent cartoons and theme parks? Could it be deeply tied to government intelligence, propaganda, and even mind-control experiments?”We share the associates Walt Disney and his company had with the government agenda, and how ex-Nazi scientist Von Braun connected to Disney. Also we will bring suspicion to the programming Disney uses in its theme park, movies, and celebrity stars coming out of their experimentation. Disney may have more in common with mind control than we realize.
Walt loved New Orleans and from day one he sought to incorporate the essence of the French Quarter into Disneyland Park. While New Orleans Square wasn't opened until 1966, there has always been since day one a New Orleans Street. It stretched from the Golden Horseshoe down along the Rivers of America. It was a contrast to the Nature's Wonderland with its mine train, pack mules and stage coaches. It was one of the key dining points in the park, and Walt loved this stretch, where he often enjoyed a weekend morning breakfast watching the ships along the Rivers of America prep and ready for the day's activities. But he wanted more and in time he built New Orleans Square, and with it came two of perhaps Disney's greatest attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion, benchmarking each end of the square. They sandwiched an unusual twist of streets with shops and restaurants, with his beloved train passing through. And all of it was tied together by the legendary Mark Twain Steamboat. It is quintessentially one of the most unique spaces in any Disney park. And with it come some wonderful inspirational lessons in business and life. So in celebration of Disneyland's 70th anniversary, we explore all of this and more in today's podcast which celebrates the charm of both New Orleans Street and Square. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

If you've ever heard the dreaded words, “I love you but I am not in love with you,” or, more bluntly, “I want a divorce,” you know what follows is a mental and emotional rollercoaster of epic proportion. But what you probably don't know is what to do if that day comes and what your rights might be when it comes to protecting yourself, your money, and your relationship with your children.

Hey Betrayal listeners, Andrea here! To celebrate the release of Season 3 of the docu-series Betrayal: Under His Eye, we’re doing something a little different. In this bonus episode, I have an exclusive conversation with a few of the people at ABCNews Studios who helped Betrayal become a hit TV series on Hulu. Once you’ve listened, check out the series we all brought to life. Betrayal: Under His Eye is available to stream NOW only on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. All three episodes are available to binge! On this bonus episode, I’m joined by ABCNews Executive Producer Muriel Pearson, Head of ABCNews Studios Mike Kelley, and Glass Entertainment Group's Executive Producer Jon Hirsch to talk about how the Hulu docu-series came to be as well as some behind-the-scenes details of how the show is made. We also discuss how my guests decide if a podcast would work well for TV, the importance of bringing these stories to a broader audience, and how the true crime genre has evolved to let women tell their own stories — not just as victims, but as survivors.
