Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Marie and Kate as they discuss if they would let someone else plan their Disney vacation from hotel to daily itinerary, what they think should be the next thing added or changed at Disneyland, why they believe fans aren't going to see original Disney movies in theaters, and what moment they would time travel to in Disney Park history. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: Would you trust someone else to plan your entire Disney vacation “” from hotel to daily itinerary “” without giving you any details until right before you leave? Why or why not? Question 2: What's the next thing Disney should add or change at Disneyland? Question 3: Every Disney fan I know says that they want more original stories when it comes to Disney and Pixar films rather than relying on sequels and remakes, but it seems that there is a trend of original films doing more poorly at the box office than sequels and remakes (eg Elio vs Lilo & Stitch or Inside Out 2). What do you think is keeping people out of the theater for original stories and if you were put in charge of solving this problem, what would your recommendations be? Question 4: If you could time-travel to any moment in Disney Park history, where would you go and why? Bonus Question: What keeps you from going to the parks more frequently AND what could the company do to help bridge that gap?
In our penultimate episode of Season two, we are joined by friend of the pod, Elio Colavito (he/they)! Elio chats with Marcelle and Raimi about their doctoral research on the history of trans community-building and mutual aid. The group chat about the importance of being connected to community from the past into the present. In response to this week's listener voicemail, Marcelle, Raimi and Elio think through how to support kids when someone in their life comes out or transitions, including changing the pronouns used. Recommendations this week include children's musician Susan Salidor, the Digital Transgender Archive, and doing karaoke with your kids!You can find more of Elio at eliocolavito.org or on twitter @eliocolavito.

Apparently sex sells, or at least Michael's gutters are appealing enough to help the pod secure more subscribers. So look out, as Em and Michael ask you to suggest sexy attire for them to wear in an upcoming episode. Then inspired by Michael's gutter reveal, it's onto the celebs revealing they are secretly fit during the week, like Sam Reid's latest pic as ‘Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat' for Season 3 of ‘Interview with the Vampire' and the Men's Fitness cover reveal of Sasha Baron Cohen's glow-up for Marvel's ‘Ironheart'. Then Em reveals everything that happened when she went to the pub with her daughters and their friends for the reveal of Triple J's Hottest 100 of Australian Songs, including her favourite moment EVER with The Veronicas. We also get side quests into Em taking to her extensions with vintage tin cutters, New Zealand's view of Australia, Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry having dinner, Barbra Streisand dating Justin's dad, plus Destiny's Child reforming at Beyonce's concert. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em offers commentary on the World Massage Championships, plus there's an Elio update, a ‘Big Boys' TV series review and hot hunks house cleaning chat too.

Hope for Lebanon: Summer Programs at Hope Evangelical ChurchIntroduction:Join Elio Constantine as he speaks with Bashir from the Hope Evangelical Church in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon. They discuss the current situation in Lebanon and the exciting summer plans at the church, focusing on how people are finding hope in Christ amidst ongoing challenges.Key Discussion Points:Current Situation in Lebanon: Despite a tough season marked by conflict and despair since September 2024, a ceasefire has led to a somewhat improved situation with a decline in shelling and airstrikes. Local elections are taking place, signaling a sense of change and hope on the horizon, though true hope is emphasized to be found only in Christ.Summer Plans at Hope Evangelical Church:Couples Conference: This conference will focus on strengthening family and marriage relationships for both married and engaged couples. The importance of this event is highlighted by the increasing social acceptance of divorce and the church's role in recentering families on the Gospel. Bashir shares a testimony of the church's ministry successfully helping a couple reconcile and stop divorce proceedings.Children's Camps:Sunday School Kids Camp: A three-day camp for 80-100 (or more) Sunday school children, featuring Bible lessons, fun activities like inflatables and songs, and an outing day.HOPE Educational Program Camps: Separate camps are planned for students in the morning and afternoon programs of the HOPE Educational Program.Children at Risk Program Camp: Another camp will be held for children in the Children at Risk program.The hosts emphasize the significant impact these camps have on children's lives, providing a safe and fun environment to learn about the Gospel and find hope amidst difficult circumstances. Elio shares a personal testimony of accepting Christ and meeting his wife at a summer camp when he was 16 years old.Teenagers Conference: A conference specifically for teenagers is being prepared, with many teens saving money to attend. The prayer is that this conference will have a life-changing impact, similar to Elio's experience.Young Adults Conference: An annual conference for young adults is scheduled for the end of August/beginning of September, which consistently leads to people deciding to follow Christ.Church/Family Conference: The church is preparing for a large "family conference." The previous one was held on October 7th, the same day as the attacks in Israel, but was a powerful time focused on holiness.

1959's It Happened To Jane was the rare Doris Day film that didn't hit with audiences at the box office. Columbia attempted a re-release in 1961 under a new title, Twinkle and Shine, with similar results. In the film, Day plays a Maine lobster farm owner pitted against a large railroad company when they damage her reputation and livelihood. The comedy co-stars Jack Lemmon, Ernie Kovacs, and Steve Forrest and was shot on location in towns throughout Connecticut. Dan and Vicky discuss the film along with some recently seen like Elio, Bride Hard, Megan 2.0, 28 Years Later, Unitl Dawn, Sorry Baby, and The Woman in the Yard.

Brian forces Nate to watch two new kids movie trailers... one from Pixar, and one from China. Pixar's new movie Elio flopped harder than anything that's come before. The top-grossing animated movie this year comes from China... it's Ne Zha 2, and it's made 2.2 billion (!) dollars. The guys talk about why Ne Zha 2's trailer is better than Elio's. But it still kinda stinks: The last couple years for children's animation has been very poor. Artificial Intelligence makes you dumber, but it will soon replace this level of bad production. Find out what an AI future might look like on this episode of Stories Are Soul Food.
