Puny Podians Assemble! Ryan and David are back with another star-spangled episode from our Super Secret Spoiler Show archives—this time, we're suiting up for Captain America: The First Avenger. Before there was an Avengers Initiative, before Cap wielded Mjolnir, there was skinny Steve Rogers—a kid from Brooklyn with a big heart and bigger dreams. We're diving into the MCU's first true period piece, a World War II-set origin story that gave us Hydra, the Tesseract, and one heck of a heroic glow-up. From serum science to shield-slinging action, we're breaking down the film's old-school charm, its pulp-inspired style, and how it set the tone for one of the MCU's most iconic heroes.

The folks over on Scraping the Vault reached out to us, saying they had the perfect idea for a show. Ignoring that email for several weeks, we eventually learned about one of the most magical television specials to ever run ... Ernest Goes To Splash Mountain. It only ever aired once, in August of 1989, and was never seen again, only to be kept alive on YouTube, like any good piece of cultural ... culture. So, Jimmy, Dan, and Audrey from Scraping the Vault came on to walk us through this little-known Ernest content, and to shed some light on the very first person EVER to ride Splash Mountain. ---------------- Support the show!

Being a member of the band at any of the Disney Parks is no joke. You have to know how to read music, play multiple instruments, and be willing to march multiple times a day in any kind of weather. But to lead that band takes something else altogether. Stan Freese is a man who has done just that, in two different Disney Parks. We were lucky enough to have him on the show this week to talk to us about his book, "Music, Mayhem, and the Mouse: My "Tubazar" Life". In it, he details his start in music and how that led him to play in front of crowds from Russia to Walt Disney World and beyond. Stan's book is a must-read for anyone who likes park history, redemption stories - a fair amount of humbling experiences - all blended with a healthy dose of positivity. Basically, we've adopted Stan. ---------------- Support the show! Come watch us on Twitch!

In August of 1941, Walt and a team of composers, animators, storytellers, and directors, went on a research trip to South America on behalf ot the US Government. The goal was to gather enough materials to fill out a couple of projects, with a fair amount of goodwill thrown around, too. What Walt got out of the trip was not one but two great films, a series of weird shorts, and an education for his artists that would change the way the studio made films moving forward. ---------------- Support the show!
