Send a textf you're planning a Walt Disney World vacation in 2026 and feeling overwhelmed by Lightning Lane pre-booking, this episode is for you.Lightning Lane is not random. Sell-outs are not random. Mini drops are not random. And standby wait times are definitely not random.In this episode, I break down Disney World Lightning Lane strategy using real data — including pre-booking rules, Multi Pass vs. Single Pass differences, and what actually sells out first in each park. We go park by park — EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios — and separate the highest demand rides by category so you know exactly what to prioritize when your booking window opens.We cover:• Lightning Lane pre-booking windows (7-day vs 3-day access) • On-site vs off-site booking advantages • The difference between Multi Pass and Single Pass attractions • The highest demand rides at each Disney World park • How Lightning Lane tiers impact your choices • What “mini drops” are and when additional inventory tends to reappear • The lowest average standby wait times by hour • Why the final hour of park operation is often the smartest time to rideIf you've ever wondered: What sells out first at Magic Kingdom? What's the best Lightning Lane strategy for Hollywood Studios? Is Test Track still the hardest Lightning Lane to get at EPCOT? When is the best time to ride Flight of Passage without Lightning Lane? Does rope drop still matter in 2026? Is staying on property really worth it for booking access?We answer all of it.Instead of panic booking at 6:59 AM, this episode teaches you how to pre-plan strategically. Instead of refreshing the app all day, you'll understand when mini drops typically happen and how Disney adjusts availability throughout the day. And instead of assuming rope drop is always best, you'll learn how standby wait times actually behave hour by hour across all four parks.Every Disney park behaves differently. EPCOT rewards evening strategy. Animal Kingdom rewards early mornings and park close. Magic Kingdom rewards staying late. Hollywood Studios demands intentional planning. When you understand those patterns, Lightning Lane becomes a tool instead of a stressor.If you want a Disney World Lightning Lane pre-booking strategy for 2026 that is calm, clear, practical, and data-backed — this episode is your starting point.This episode is designed to give you clarity before your booking window opens, so you can make confident decisions and enjoy your Disney vacation without second-guessing every tap in the app.For more tips on minimizing parental stress at the Disney parks, follow @wellhellomagic.Support the showHey Welcome to Well Hello Magic!

K-Pop Demon Hunters K-Pop Demon Hunters sounds like a joke title, but this action packed adventure/romance/musical/ martial arts action film… is really something different! The surprise animated hit of the year which has been not only smashing streaming video records (thats Netflix for ya), but also demolishing the music charts (Golden hitting no. 1 on Spotify!) is something nobody saw coming, but now that it’s here we may never be the same! Its a heady mix of Korean mythology, flying swords-person action, heartbreaking romance, radical self acceptance and all with a K-Pop soundtrack that lets be clear… absolutely slaps. We have a special guest for this show, with our beloved Ardella (Bec) chiming in to profess her undying love of this unexpected gem! Dion may have his demonic grump on, but Jill and Quinny both are singing from the hymn-book of hon-moon creation. Synopsis K-Pop Demon Hunters” tells the story of a K-pop girl group, Huntrix, who are also demon hunters, tasked with protecting the world from demons and their king, Gwi-Ma. They use their music to maintain a magical barrier called the Honmoon and work towards strengthening it into the Golden Honmoon, which would permanently banish demons. Their mission is complicated when a rival demon boy band, the Saja Boys, emerges, stealing their fans and weakening the Honmoon. https://youtu.be/gsMp_Oq-_mY As always, a musical magical thank-you to the K-popping demon hunting divas who join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT. And an especially huge thanks to any of the glow stick waving uber fans who are kind enough to support us by programming a tip in our jar via Ko-Fi, or subscribing on twitch… every bit helps us to keep the honmoon strong and if not golden, a bit bronzed… If you feel so inclined drop us a sub we really love them, The more subby mc-sub-faces we get, the more Emotes You get! https://youtu.be/3JTVQTk36R8?si=CPEwLl_mx84YG1Iw https://youtu.be/yebNIHKAC4A?si=ImoyGFkIO-pC3a99 https://youtu.be/983bBbJx0Mk?si=_B-EAl_rChUeZ8c0 WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK!

Well, we’re getting on to this Tuesday night, going down the good old road of something Netflix. Are you related? Hello. Yes. Quinny Hello, we’re going down. And we’re going down, down, down. Speaker 3 I know. Quinny What, John, why aren’t? Dion You singing. I don’t understand the concept. What the **** is happening? This is not a regular. Hi. My name is Dion. I’m joined tonight by Queenie and I’m joined by Jill. And I’m joined by Beck. Pop. Hello, pop. It’s been a while. Thanks for joining us. This one. Quinny Hey, welcome back. Dion Because yeah, for your viewing pleasure, you’re helping us talk about K pop. Ardella I am. I am this cultural phenomenon has been on repeat in my household for the last month, so I’m thrilled to talk about it. Speaker Hi. Jill Oh. Dion Oh. Ardella On the Internet. Dion A month. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Ardella OK, we are late to this party. Dion I am but I I’m 100% late to this party only because. Yeah, sorry. Quinny All right. Dion Good to you. Quinny No, no, no. I like I said, I actually talked about it. I don’t know the weekend it came out or the like. I watched it because I had nothing else on. I was sitting on the couch and I was like, that looks entertaining. I’ll just put that on in the background. And was then kind of like this is ******* cool. And then when in the next episode, I’m like Jill, Jill, Jill, you gotta you gotta check it out. You gotta check it. And she’s like. Jill Like, leave me alone. Otherwise I won’t watch. Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah. And then the. Quinny It was like Jill, Jill, Penny, Penny, Penny, Penny, Penny, and she’s like, leave me alone. Jill Next, let’s do yeah. Sorry, it’s it’s the Aries. You can’t tell me what to do. Quinny Yeah, the license. Ardella Can I just say though, despite being one of the longest bloody trailers in the world, I. I’m so impressed by how little it manages to give away, and I wonder if we can manage to give away a similar level of not spoilers. Jill Yeah. Quinny Yeah, we can. We can. I mean we can. We also do a. Spoilery bit after we’ve done the thing, but. Ardella I remember how this works. Quinny OK, OK. Ardella I also remember that we often suck it, not giving too many spoilers in the free spoiler bit. Quinny This is a good point. Well made. Jill OK, we’re going to be as vague as. Quinny Possible. Yeah. So how did your come to it? Did you just find it on Netflix? Did did somebody recommend? Jill It to you. I know. Yeah. Somebody annoyed. Me to watch it, yeah. Dion No, Quinn. He made me watch it. Ardella Yes. Yeah. Did he tape your eyelids open and struck you to the chair? Yeah. Dion Yeah, it’s 100% Clockwork Orange, me. For this but but I’ve got this. Speaker 1 Yep. Quinny And I’m not sad. I’m not. I’m not. Embarrassed about that? Dion I’ve got this weird. Sort of tick now that I have to keep kind of doing this and I feel like I need to do choreographed dances every now and again. So I don’t know what’s happening. I don’t know anything about. Jill Can teach you. Quinny See, I don’t think we were fully aware that Beck was as into this as not as until like you you posted a video to us. You’re like look at. Dion Excellent. Speaker 4 This did you dance? Dion Like ohh OK, you know, we’re gonna talk about stuff that, like quite blatantly. I have absolutely no ******* idea what’s going on. Jill I mean. Dion We might as well open the floor up to people who do know what the **** is. Ardella Going on, but have you watched it dear? Dion Yes, I watched it from the start to the last song. Ardella Great. How? How the **** do you still? Have no idea what is going on then. Dion Have you seen the film? Ardella It’s a very cromulent storyline. Speaker 2 No wonder. Dion Here’s what’s going on. They’re just doing things on screen and singing songs and going. This is good. Yeah. And you’re watching it. Jill Yeah, pop music is a part of Concepto dialog. OK, yeah. Dion Sure. Ardella Dion should never go and see a. Jill Thank you. Speaker 13 Musical is what? Ardella We’re hearing this is an even musical. Quinny No, no. Speaker 13 Devil story. Dion No, this isn’t far off though. Speaker 13 Season. Dion This is it. Musical level storytelling and I watched it. And I’m not saying like things are bad or weird or out of my comfort zone. It’s just it’s not really for me. Speaker 3 Dion And that’s OK, you know. Ardella You’re allowed to be wrong. Jill He often is. Quinny Also I I will point out that that Dean had had a very, very long bad day by the time that this came onto his screen and I kind of get the feeling that it was like. Speaker 4 Oh. Quinny Is that a reasonably accurate description deal? Dion Look, you know I’m not. I’m able to separate church and state here. I can understand the value of something even though my personal opinions may have coloured it slightly. That being said, I still don’t really know what’s going on in Capot demon. Jill Would you? Would you like this is not. Speaker 4 Let’s let’s have us. Dion I mean, sure, if you think I’ve got it, I wonder if I’ve got any music somewhere. Hang on a second. Quinny Yeah. Yeah. OK. K pop. Hang on. What voice am I doing? Speaker 13 Nothing, right? Quinny Well, that’s it. Somebody else better do. Dion Ohh no. Quinny OK, K pop demon hunters tells the story of A K pop girl group called Hunt Tricks, who are also demon hunters tasked with protecting the world from demons from for their king Guimar. They use their music to maintain a magical barrier called the honeymoon, and work towards strengthening. Hit into the golden Hon moon. Which would permanently vanish. Ardella Day and age of Tik toking. And if you’re my age, Instagram, reeling a week after it’s appeared on TikTok. We’ve basically have a a huge collection of people who’ve basically seen half the movie through real. Or tick tocks and then go. OK, I may as well go and watch this movie now. So I think that a lot of people have had that experience when Quinny mentioned it. I then was like, let’s watch the trailer for this and was on board after watching the trailer and. Speaker 1 Mm-hmm. Ardella My partner and I sat down and. Watched it over Friday night. We were amazed by the number of layers that this movie has that you do not get from the trailer, and I was on board just with what that surface level stuff was already. Quinny Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was the thing that surprised me. It was just the the like from a trailer, like or because I didn’t even see a trailer. I just saw it pop up on Netflix, as you know, the the, The little preview that starts playing. And I was like. Ardella Yeah, that’s the trailer. Quinny Well, but it I didn’t even watch the whole thing like it was just sort of there in the background and I was. I don’t know what that is. But **** it looks cool. Dion Did you just hit it like a fricking pokie machine button? As soon as it popped up, you were like chin, let’s do this. Quinny My good addition. Yeah, sorry, Jill. You’re gonna. Jill Say something. Yeah, I think at the time, quinny, when you said. Hey, Jill, have you watched K pop demon hunters yet? I think my best friend had also watched it and had, like. Posted a story about it and all I heard all over Instagram was the the main song from it Golden. It was on everything and not just like animated clips of the movie, but like just people’s reels. They’re using that song. And so I was like, oh, no. Speaker 4 Hmm. Jill This is the hype zone. Jill doesn’t like being. Speaker 4 5th. Jill In the hype zone. Jill wants to avoid ever watching stuff that gets into the hype zone. I still have not watched Everything Everywhere, all at once because it got too hyped, so this was heading in that direction and went. Queenie, when you said to me, have you watched it yet? I was like, I’ll get to it. Ardella Was interesting that you mentioned that Jill, because there are theme crossovers. Jill Yeah. So I don’t push me. But then I. Kept hearing the bloody music. I’m like ****, this is a catchy song and then I think it got to like the following weekend and I’m like, I’m not gonna talk to anybody about this, but I’m gonna watch. Speaker It. Jill And I was like, oh, that’s great. Quinny Because I’ve seen so many people who, like, have watched it, and then it’s just become their whole personality. Jill Ohh yeah, I mean that was on heavy rotation like the album it was. It became a hyper fixation for a. Quinny Yes. Jill Week. Dion Wait, so can I just get this one like coming into this just a little bit blind, you know, from this whole stuff. So you’re telling me that there are real people in the real world that saw the small part of this and it’s become a hyper fixed? Speaker 4 Yeah. Dion Which is mirroring the fact that the fans of this band in the fake world have a hyper fixation problem. Ardella So interestingly, interestingly, the soda pop song by the Demon Boy Band for a very long time there took over the charts from the actual you know, K pop boy band of the moment BTS. Quinny You say? Speaker 4 Oh yes. Dion The soju boys. I love the soju boys, they’re great. Speaker 4 Ohh I love some soju. Quinny Beck, how do you feel about this? Pineapple surgery. Speaker 1 What? Dion Soulja boys. Jill I like the lemon one, it’s. Dion Delicious. Jill Kind of funky, but it’s good. Dion Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like the one with the six pack. Ardella But what’s what’s really interesting about the soundtrack to this as compared to a traditional musical, is in a traditional musical, you’ve always got that one song that everyone skips or tunes out goes to the bathroom during it’s usually the one that the token old man sings. Jill Ohh OK. Speaker 13 But. Ardella If you think about it, is. Quinny It’s the talk singing 1. You give it to the guy who can barely sing. Jill Ohh yeah yeah. Jeff Goldblum. Number in wicked. Yeah, exactly. Ardella There are no low points in this soundtrack and. Quinny In new tiles. Ardella I think even. The one song that when I was watching the movie for the first time I was like, this is kind of my bathroom breaks on. When I went back and listened to the soundtrack. Speaker 13 Through by. Ardella Wolf it was still a banger. I was still singing along. I was still fully on board. I was finding all the hidden messages in the lyrics. I don’t think there is a a dud on this soundtrack. Quinny Nope. And as of 2 days ago, Golden went to literal #1 on the Billboard chart like it’s ******* stupid. Ardella Something that’s really cool about the creatives behind this entire movie is that the movie has so many authentic South Korean cultural elements to it that it has become huge in South Korea as well. And many, many people there. Speaker 3 Hmm. Ardella Absolutely love it, which is so wonderful because there have has been a lot of outcry in the past about South Korean culture being misrepresented. And this is a wonderful example of cultural appreciation rather than appropriation, and one of the reasons behind that is that they have actually included many South Korean genuine K pop stars and producers, writers, and the singing voice of. The main main individual from home tricks. She was a K pop star in training who went away to go to school and stopped Kpop training. And when she came back to try and be a K pop star they told her she was too old and couldn’t do it. Anymore. And so she became a writer and a producer. Of K pop music instead, and now is singing on this and has gone to the top of the charts so incredibly hard. And I think that that lends this incredible authenticity to it, but also is kind of like a stuff you to the industry at the same time, which is amazing. Dion Because it’s look, it’s a curious thing about the the making of it, because actually, yes, I did. I watched the whole thing and then I even watched the credits where they showed all the behind the scenes bits of the people in there. And I thought that was really interesting. And then reading more about it and trying to find out more about it. I was like, oh, that’s interesting that they have. A bunch of Korean American. Others. Doing the voice work, but then a bunch of South Korean singers doing the song work and I was just a little bit like oh, oh, OK like why, why the need for the split like? Ardella They’re two different skill sets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Quinny You you don’t find that many actors who can sing that ******* well. Like who can sing to the level that is required of. Ardella Yeah. The vocal range in golden is outstanding. That is like 3 octaves of belting. That’s insanity. Dion I’m asking the question to not because I’m attacking the I’m not asking the question because I might. Why? They have to get more. You know, why is it a whole bunch of different sort of people in there? Jill Deon, Every Disney musical movie had a talking voice actress and a singing voice actress as well. It was. Dion I’m pretty sure John Oliver did all the singing for his parts as Zazu, right? Ardella Not all. Yeah, not all of them. I think the more recent ones like Moana, the. Dion Of course I know. Jill Yeah. The more, yeah, I mean, the classic ones, I mean the ones from the. Ardella Voice actor sings as well. Jill 90s when we were kids. Ardella Yeah. Speaking of which. Dion Sure. Jill Yes, the travesty of casting Leah Salonga in this movie. Ardella Yeah. And then giving her 30 seconds of background vocals to do. Leah Salonga was the singing voice of Jasmine and Mulan, and is an incredible musical theatre. Jill Yeah, crazy. Ardella Actress and amazing singer and is in there as like the the main mentor character for the Huntress Girls. And has no real singing. It’s so background that I didn’t even notice when it happened. Jill It’s devastating, but. Quinny Yeah. Yeah. Like, like putting, I don’t know. One of the. Yeah. Mariah Carey is a background character. Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah. Like what? Ardella Mariah would never let that happen. Quinny No, no, absolutely not. So what was it about it that that sort of caught your eye? Immediately because I know what put me on the back foot straight away and made me go. That’s different. But I’d love to. Know what you guys thought? Dion What? What? Yeah. So there’s two. There’s two parts in that which which caught your eye. And there was a bit that caught you on the back foot which. Quinny Was your question what? What caught your what? One you were talking about excited you, really. Grabbed you. What? Dion Was that what put you? What put you on the front foot? Linked you into this show? Quinny The. What? Yeah, yeah. Jill The music I think, like I I enjoy the odd K pop. I’m. I’m not a die hard. I’m not a I don’t have a bias. I’m not like fully into the K pop culture. But I do enjoy the music peripherally, and so I thought like the songs were so catchy. And then when I saw, like, some of the animated stuff, I’m like, ohh, that’s very reminiscent of the spider verse animation. And then I realized it was a Sony thing. And then I’m like, OK. Well, this is probably going to be good. Ardella Yeah. I think the thing that put me off was the time. Speaker 4 Well. Ardella What the hell is that? Title K pop Demon Hunters makes me think that this is trash and it is trash, but the best kind of crack trash. It’s amazing. Jill Quinny MHM. Jill OK, you know what? It’s 100% tapped into for me was the female power story, but based in music like. I was one of those kids that was like ohh yeah, I wanna be in a girl band like that was like one of my fantasy things when I was. A child, but. Also, like yeah, being a superhero too. And like Sailor Moon. Is so intrinsic for me. It really had those kind of vibes of like, you know, magical girls that can save the planet. Quinny Yeah. Yeah, that’s one of the first things I why I was like, ohh you would love it. Just for the magical girl factor. Like the the costume changes the. Speaker 4 What’s this? Quinny The that that very Sailor Moon kind of vibe. Ardella What’s so interesting for me about? The introduction, just the opening sequence was that. Speaker 2 Hmm. Speaker That. Ardella Funky kind of intro music. The the K pop music that it starts with reminds me a lot of earlier K pop when I was into it and some of my South Korean friends just roll their eyes at me because I think that my idea of K pop is like someone. These days, being like my favorite band is the Backstreet Boys. You know, it’s like ohh sweetie. Jill OK. Ardella There we go. Yeah, you’re you’re the the shush now, grandma. Everything’s fine. Because my my favourites were like the Wonder Girls. And you know quite quite early K pop. I think, you know, compared to what’s in today, but. Dion You can. Ardella It’s just so funky and fun, and the fact that. It immediately started with the classic K pop mixing of Korean lyrics in with English lyrics, and then the flip to rap in there as well, and the rap being in both Korean and English, it really grabbed me in that I was like, OK, this is. Actually K pop it, it’s not just in the name, they are actually going with it and I found it really interesting learning afterwards that the K pop element was the last thing to be added into this storyline. Dion Yeah. Ardella Interesting. Yeah, that that was the last kind of piece of the puzzle when they were developing this movie was creating it as a K pop story. Dion Which is very strange because I think the thing that made me. Sort of get on board a bit with it. Like a bit more was the fact that it was self aware enough to understand some of? The. Insanity behind massive mass market fandom? Not that anyone is immune to it, like it’s all around when you go looking hard and you know the West. The West has borrowed from the that that world very heavily in the past. Our last Spice Girls etcetera, etcetera. Quinny Not that hard. Dion Was the ability for it to just to be self aware take a bit of fun, have a bit of fun with it, and then continue on go like, yeah, we acknowledge that there’s this there is there is some weird **** that happens in that world and we’re just going to lean into it and understand that it’s part of it. And then move. For with the rest of it, you know, apart from the animation is great and the characters were somewhat likeable. Quinny There, there, there are two things that got me straight up. So initially looking at it, I thought oh, wow, this reminds me of what, KD A yeah, which, you know, is the the League of Legends K Pop group. And I was like, OK, we’re obviously kind of gonna. Yes. That’s the thing there. Dion Thank you. You’re not like you’re saying things like Katie and I’m like, wait, is it three letter acronym? Should I know? What the **** is going on here? Kill. Kill, death, aggression. Quinny K/BA. Dion Right, OK. So just just help me with. This it’s a foreign territory. Quinny They they are a a AK pop group that was done by the animation company that did League of Legends. So they’ve they’ve got a couple of songs that I actually have no idea how many songs they have about that. And I looked at that and I thought, OK, there’s a touch point. But the thing that and I have the same thing. Hip hop demon hunters. What a stupid ******* name. But watching it, I got to about 5 minutes in and the moment that they’re on the plane and. And they allowed their characters to be ugly and to do stupid faces. And they’re beautiful characters who are fully, you know, gorgeous and made-up, and everything are burping and, like, eating ramen and fighting like ******* demons. But at the same time, they are. Very, very comedic and and I was like oh. ****, this is really kind of like as as soon as I watch it. I was like, this is gonna play to a a female crowd so. Well because it’s not saying look at these perfect, you know, pristine things. These are people who just want to have snacks and lie on the couch and you know relax and be ******* normal. Humans, but at the same time, they want to be super powerful. You know, warlocks that are protecting the world from demons and **** like that. Like this is every little girl’s ******* dream combined and. I was like, holy ****. Jill Yeah, like women can be multifaceted. They’re not just put into one box. Quinny The power of that. Jill As one thing. Ardella They can, but there’s absolutely no way an actual K pop band would be allowed to pig out on. Speaker 4 Junk. Yeah, that’s the thing. It’s. Ardella That’s not happening in the real life world, I’m sorry to say. That is. I mean, when we think about. Dion But but but. The dropping in out of a plane? Sure. Speaker 4 Just. Ardella Kind of disbelief there. Day on. Yeah, carries through. It carries through. But I do think that it’s interesting having that acknowledgement of. I mean it, it’s it’s an an issue, an underlying issue. I think the treatment of pop stars and this isn’t just a problem in South Korea with K pop or in Japan with J Pop, although it’s a very similar kind of culture from my understanding, yeah, in the their K pop J pop. Machines that churn out these bands that are designed and kind of almost bread to create hype and money and. All of this, we see it in like Dan was saying in. The Spice Girls. Quinny Yep. Ardella As well, we see it in these manufactured bands that have been created to take our love and to take our money, OK. Quinny The eagles. Jill There’s literally another program on Netflix right now called building the band. Ardella Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And I think it’s really interesting then to look at our K pop demon band. And see that they are. They’re they’re saying the quiet part out loud with with the demon boy band here. But the reality is that that is what all K pop bands are. They are there to take the love to take the energy and to take the money of their fans. And they’ve been created. Expressly to do that. And so I I just find that really interesting to have. That kind of duality on display where we’re saying no hunt tricks are the the good guys when the reality is that. All K pop bands are there to do exactly what the Demon Boy band are doing. Dion Yes. Quinny And that duality is also encompassed in the lead character as well that, yeah, there are so many elements of things that she is not comfortable with. There’s elements of her public perception that she’s not comfortable with and. You kind of like the stories of the three characters. You know that that one of them is the bad girl who doesn’t get on with her family. The other ones come from, you know, America and is is a a rapper, but she’s also really sweet. All of these things are. Prepackaged they’re made to make them assailable, you know, definable feature. Ardella A personality. Quinny Yeah, yeah, that people can latch on to, but then you’re also watching and going. Yeah, they’re really funny. And they’re really cool. And I like them. And, you know, they’re they’re little horn dogs. And they, they, they just turn into popcorn and. Dion Thank, thankfully. Yeah, I mean, thankfully, you know, they they expressed all those lessons and of course that was the end of it. And this is all we have when. There’s one. Oh, no. That’s why there’s going to be sequels and a TV show and a live stage show. And it’s like, oh, oh, no, the demons won. Ohh no. Jill That’s one thing that I I would like to talk about a bit more is like the actual structure of the story. I know we’re not gonna give anything away, but I was interested that it was a movie. TV and not a TV series because I felt like there could have been a lot more character development actually happened throughout a TV series. I wanted more about the back story of the girl’s mentor. I wanted a little bit more time with the Saga boys in the demon. From in general, yeah, just a little bit more fleshing out of story I thought would be great. Ardella Apparently it was originally 3 hours long and I. Saw. Someone, I think it might have been tally in the in the chat mentioned that earlier. Jill I’d watch 3 hours of this. Quinny Yeah, I’m there for, I mean. Speaker 3 Actually really. Ardella Joined a 90 minute movie though. Speaker 4 We have so many long. Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah. Ardella *** films coming out these days and the pacing in this felt great. I would much rather be left wanting more than be left sitting on my couch, scrolling Instagram halfway through because I’m like, this is a this is a. Speaker I wanted. Jill Sure. Ardella Dull bed. Quinny Yeah, yeah, this is the song that I’m not into. And that’s the reprise of the song. I’m not. Into. Speaker 13 It’s the old man song again. Speaker Ohh. Quinny It’s something I did like though is is while I was watching it. I you know the first number I was like ohh yeah, this is pretty cool. And then within the 1st 13 minutes, there were three, you know, musical numbers, completely different songs. Like I was watching, and I was like, oh ****, this is a secret musical. It’s not that secret, but it’s a proper musical and that, I mean, for me, for my, my taste, that was ******* great sick. Amazing and like to your point, Dion, I immediately then go totally see. This is a stage. And to your point, Beck. Ohh one of you. I’m not sure who was. Yes, I could see it working as a series because there’s a lot more to explore, and while Dion, I know that you’re like the capitalist pigs, they’re just trying to make money out of the kids sometimes. That’s OK. Because this is a ******* cool story. Speaker 4 Yeah, I I mean. Ardella If you do like everyone wants our money, it is a we live in a society. Speaker Oh. Jill Here at the in the high points of the capitalism, my friend. Ardella Yeah, but I think that there is a a way that feel feels friendly and genuine to do that and this is hitting that nail for me. And there’s a way that feels inauthentic and. Speaker Hmm. Ardella Cash grabby and that’s not this at the moment. We’ll see how many spin offs they try and squeeze out of this and when it tips that line. Speaker Sure. Ardella But I think at the moment it still feels. Dion And in 15 years, when Netflix rolls back around and makes a live action version of the K pop Demon Hunters franchise, we will know hey. Yeah, now. Ardella Warm and flat. Quinny Ohh, so he said. They’re not doing it. Dion If you’re talking about. Quinny They they they got, they got absolutely ******* pilloried on the Internet when the initial run of things that they announced was live action. Make stage show and ongoing series. Everyone said do not ******* do this live action they. Dion Quinny. Went OK. Producers don’t care. It’s just that now there’s a lot of complaints. They’ll wait till they’re less complaints and then they’ll do it anyway for a tax break. That’s how the system works, quinny. Speaker 4 That. Quinny So you’ve got another K pop. Dion People. Speaker 6 Exactly. Speaker 3 For me. Speaker You know like. Dion Stuff will happen that way, unfortunately and sometimes, fortunately, anyway, philosophically. Ardella Well, the sequel has already been greenlit by Netflix, which is unsurprising given that this is apparently in the couple of months that it’s been out a month and 1/2 that it’s been out. It has already topped all other animated movies on Netflix for the most watched. Dion Yeah. And we’re a good time behind as we have already. Explain like in in terms of the pickup of this is that came out in June, you know and it’s now **** me, August. Quinny Yes. Speaker Yeah. Quinny That’s the official date. Dion Yeah, yeah. Every time I look at the calendar these days. Ardella It is now **** me. Dion I’m like ****. Anyway. Quinny I’m Jill. I want to know on your your new rating system, how many? How many tips have you got less after this? Speaker 4 ****. No. I think that’s a good. Jill 2 tips off. Dion Ohh no **** left. Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah, I it it. Yeah, it. Put my ****. Jill Off I enjoyed it a lot more than I. Dion Jill is Jill is untited. Jill Was expecting to because like. I know Queenie loves animation and so his glowing review was like Oh well, it’s gotta be good. And then also my friend who loves K pop and and animation as well and even her husband who enjoys animation like both raved about it. So I’m like, OK well. This has got to be good. That kind of got me in to watch it, but it’s so strange that like. I then convinced my other friend group to watch it and they were all like, oh, this is very kiddy and every everybody else thought it was. It was quite junior, but I didn’t really. Get that read. Quinny No. Jill They were like ohh it seems like a bit of a teen bop kind of thing and I’m like, well, I am 15 years old. Guys like, that’s why I like it. Speaker 4 I think this. Ardella Is very Shrek adjacent in the figure. Pitch the kid. TV like category if you want to put. Jill Yeah, but there’s. Ardella It there, but it’s so grown up. Jill This was the stuff for the horn bag older women like. Speaker 4 Is that what you say, Shrek? Yes. Quinny She’s not. Dion Shrek can get it. Speaker I mean. Dion Shrek can’t get. I mean, sorry. Before we go into the ratings, which we should do soon to try. Speaker 4 Yeah. Quinny No, no. We need to talk about so. Dion And keep in time. Quinny Many more things. Dion Yeah, there are many things to talk about. The the Quinny, you did raise a point to me the other day talking about K pop demon hunters, which is going. Yes, it’s an interesting comparison, like an interesting comparison film to perfect blue, which we talked about recently too and. Speaker 2 Yeah. Dion I was like. You may have a point. Jill Maybe not a companion piece. Dion There. Quinny I don’t know. I think I think they’re a fantastic companion faced 11 after the other and just. Dion Thematically. Thematically, it’s it’s somewhat similar in in in certain ways, not not the same way, like let’s they’re too. Jill Ones are very dark and twisted version. Dion Exactly, but they both. Quinny Yeah, what’s when’s the demons we met. Along the way. Dion But they both talk about fandoms. They both talk about the some of the crushing nature of conformity and having to represent yourself as something you may not be, and the damage that that could do. And. And let’s be honest, yeah, it diverges. Very, very different. But there are interesting themes and it’s really interesting to me to think about that. That film made back in the 90s was like working out these problems then and how far we’ve come and how we relate to it. Now, how creatives are relating to that now in this space with, you know, capable demon hunters is like, yeah, look at all these. Things that are still pretty much a problem, but we’re going to acknowledge that they have been a problem and that, you know, these are the things and but we still keep going because we have good messages that we want to try to put out. And if we could all make some money, that’s. Great. But if we have competition, we will crush. It that’s one take away I got from from like K Pop bands is they crush each other. Speaker 1 Also. Dion As they can. Jill In the charts in the. Dion Yeah, it’s in the chat, but literally. Quinny Charts that I think you know differentiate some really very differently is that in perfect blue fandom is seen as being toxic and dangerous and bad. In this one fandom is is the beautiful glowing. Power of house that will save the world and die on your face. Is telling me that you ain’t buying any of this. Dion I think that’s a stretch. Ardella Ship, haven’t we all been in a a stadium watching a band that you love and just all singing along at once and just felt that that vibe? I mean, it’s what gets people into cult. So you know that it can be used for good or for ill. Quinny I was we we we both watched 11,000 with 11,000 other people. People rolled dice. Speaker 14 Yeah. Speaker 1 Yeah. Dion I mean I. Speaker 3 Yeah, it’s. Dion Went I went to the Jared Leto 1 and that was fine. I’m normal. Ardella It’s a powerful thing, is what I’m getting at, yeah. Quinny Yeah. Dion I get. Speaker Quinny You and in the chat a couple of people mentioned that there’s a comparison with the Puss in Boots, the last Wish, same automotive. Ardella I thought his favorite movie of all time. Dion I still haven’t. I still haven’t watched it. Even though you keep telling me I. I know. I know get that ***** kids. You know, like there’s only so many. Quinny Fine. Ardella Come here. We will. Clockwork Orange you again. Dion Alright, time to go to my friend’s house and be forced. Watched it or something. Quinny Yeah. Ardella That’s how I feel about the drunk DC. Watches that we’ve. Dion Oh yeah, we still gonna. Do that one. Quinny Hmm. Dion I still haven’t seen Aquaman 2. Can we bookend it? Which? One should go first, is it? Speaker 2 Oh. Speaker 13 I didn’t even know. Ardella There was an Aquaman. Ohh yeah. Speaker 4 Yes, ******* all. Dion Yeah. Anyway, OK, think of your think of your ratings. Yes, rate, rate and rate and spoil. Speaker 4 Should we right and then spoil? Yeah, yes, yes, yes. Quinny And if you have seen it in the chat, drop me some numbers so that I can put them into the thing I love. I love keeping an eye out for them. Dion Look, OK, I’ll look. I’ll start. Cause Get Me Out of the way. Why? Not. RIP the Band-Aid. Off, yeah, I look, I had a fun time because it was quite poppy and exciting and the animation is actually quite flawless. I like the characters all had a bit of humanity in them. They weren’t that way. U. Kind of. Everyone kind of worked. There’s definitely a saleable marketable thing going because that blue cat is why is that not a plushy already? Speaker 4 Oh yes. Quinny Going to tell you about the blue cat. Ardella Derpy is his name. Dion Derpy is great. Yeah. OK, all the like. It’s good. I can see the the bit of the franchise there. And I can also see. Speaker He loves derpy. Dion Me having to scream when I hear the song again after the yeah, yeah. Yeah. 100% not for me, but I will give it 75. Because yeah, like, I think it’s good. Like if someone said, hey, you know, should I watch K pop diamonds? I’m like, yeah, like, you know, I recommend it to people with small kids. I don’t recommend all the way up to people who are 75. Yeah. I was the whole gamut. You can get something out of it. There is a good message in there. Ardella 75 yeah. Dion And I think it’s quite a little hidden gem or. Unreleased jam, even if you don’t particularly like K Pop. Quinny Fair, Jill. Sorry. Jill Yeah. Look, I’m so excited to say that I have no tips after this film. It’s been a while. It’s been a while, but I am going to give it a 90. Speaker Off. Quinny We yellow. Jill Been a while since we’ve hit the nines for me, but I love that animation. There were just some moments where I was like. What am I watching like? This is just like the textures and everything were so ******* beautiful. There were moments where I’m like Christ, that looks almost realistic. Speaker 1 Mm-hmm. Jill Loved how everybody had a personality. Everyone was like, different. Had their clerks had their faults, like had their beautiful moments. The only reason why it’s not getting more is because there were just some like small unresolved story things that I wish had been explored a little bit more, but. Other than that. We loved it. Quinny Heck, do you want to drop a number? Ardella Quinny Nice. Ardella I’m a harsh marker, but what can I say? It’s interesting that you mentioned the animation, Jill, because one of the beautiful things that I’ve learned is that the hunt tricks characters our protagonists are animated in a very traditional way, which means that every second frame they move. Whereas our demon Boy band animated differently where they move every single frame and there are certain times at where it’s poignant in the movie where they swim. Speaker Which? Ardella Ohh and so there’s there’s lots of super cool things that happen behind the scenes that we don’t consciously recognise, but it’s doing stuff to our brains and I think it’s really, really cool. So yeah, I think the more that I learn about this movie and the work that’s gone in behind the scenes, the more I love it. And that’s why it’s really reaching those top numbers. Quinny Oh. Dion You gotta respect a bit of filmmaking. Quinny Yeah. Dion Bit of craft work in there. Ardella Exactly. Quinny And and that’s very much like the first spider verse. Yes, where like they were animating different characters on different frame rates and you know the the attention to detail. And one of the things that gets me about this is the. The absolute love for Korean culture, but also Korean mythology, and it’s also going to be very, very interesting down the track. Seeing people cosplay from it because already there have been people who have gone to do cosplays of the Soulja Boys and so forth and have had to. That that question of appropriation or appreciation. Is very difficult around certain parts of costumes because the hats are an actual part of a very specific part of Korean culture that you really can’t **** with. Yeah. So like the fact. Ardella Historical Korean culture, not even current really Korean culture as far as I’m aware as well. Quinny Yeah. Hmm. So yeah, whipping one up out of warbler is is kind of not. Not cool, not kosher. And that kind of. Ardella Derpy is my next cosplay. Yeah. Quinny Thing. And when we come back from the the and everything, I will talk about Derpy because that’s another piece of amazing Korean history and culture right there. My rating is 95. I ******* watched the **** out of it and love the **** out of it. The like the music aspect of it, I I’m not a big K pop fan or anything like that. I I don’t listen to a lot of that music, but I didn’t care because it was super catchy. The vocals were insane. I love that mix of of like the three different voices and the three different styles. Of the girls like that, you know, one will drop into really American style rap, but they’re all capable of rapping. They’ll all take, you know, high parts, low parts. But at the same time, then mix it with a bunch of really cool choreography and and martial arts. Mix in some extra mythology, add some cute characters. I love the fact that you know secondary characters are given a bit of love to like. The band’s manager is. Not a ********. You know how ******* lovely is it that that you know, you’re not just going? Yeah. The traditional ******** band manager? No, he ******* loves. Dion Them. Did you not learn anything from Jersey and the Pussycats? What the? ****. Speaker Yeah. Quinny Yeah, I I just, I mean, as I was watching, I just kept thinking, Oh my God, this is this is a thing for a generation of of girls to watch and. And relate to and want to be and emulate and I suddenly understood that whole thing that all the girls in primary school would go off and learn dances. And then to tie that whole thing that that you know, people want to do of of singing and dancing with, like, spiritual power and empowerment and protectiveness. I was just like, **** me. So yeah, I got a little love for it. I really don’t have much bad to say about it, which is, I mean, I don’t want to give it 100 because that would be ridiculous, but ****** really enjoyed. Dion It you can give it a. Speaker 13 100 and that’s just the surface story. Quinny I know we haven’t even talked about what it all means. Dion Can’t wait for you to review the stage musical 350,000 out of. Quinny Review it, I’m going. To direct the. *******. Dion Which would you like to go? Would you like to meet the? Boys or yeah. With that one, we see who, who we. Talking about here, who are the Sargent boys? Sounds weird? Speaker Yeah. Speaker 3 Look normal. Speaker 5 Ohh yeah. Speaker 6 Come on. Take your time. Yeah. Speaker 14 Just like. Speaker Yeah. Speaker 2 Ohh hot. Speaker 3 You guys are so gross. Speaker 6 No, yet you go hot. Then we’ll go. He. Dion Ohh that is just harsh. No helping hand there whatsoever. So the Sarja boys are a bit of * ****, really, aren’t they? They’re just *****. Hot *****. Speaker Yes. Jill Yeah, but they’re hot. They’re hot. Speaker 4 Hot *****. Dion Yeah. Yeah, Jesus. Jill I’m going to tell you like we went to smash. What was it like 3 weeks ago? The artist Alley was chocolate block of K pop demon hunters. Art anything? Right with that tiger on, it was sold. Quinny Oh. Dion Right. Jill Out. Yeah, right. Good. There were. There’s a scene in the film where the both of the bands are Hunter Eggs and the Sergeant Boys are doing a meet and greet with fans. Quinny Oh my God. So. Jill And Abby, the gentleman with the. Tabs instead of signing a piece of paper with his name, he runs like pencil against a piece of paper on his ABS, and that’s his signature. There were drawings of that in the artist Alley for sale. The insanity. Dion I love Jesus. Yeah. I mean, OK question here. I don’t understand why I have questions now and spoil the logo is up and we’ll talk about spoil everythings if you like. Yeah, it’s been a month. It’s been out for quite a long time. I get derpy the thing. Jill Of this movie. Speaker 14 Yes. Dion But what was with the strange Game of Thrones crossover with the Three Eyed Raven? Speaker Quinny Do you want the? Speaker 4 It’s not a Game of Thrones crossover deal on. Dion Everything’s a Game of Thrones crossover. Ardella It’s. Quinny Heck, do you wanna take it? Ardella Quinty no quinny you take this, you are so keen. Quinny No, I was so keen. But I I mean, I’m guessing we’ve probably watched the same explainer videos and stuff. Speaker 13 No, I I read I don’t. Watch. Quinny Ohh God, within you actually. Jill Jesus, she’s an intellectual. Speaker 13 Exactly. Where’s my glasses? Quinny Just need to take these things off and becomes derpy. The ******* yeah, well. Dion You’re on. You’re on. Jill Stick your tongue out. Dion New media now not only this traditional lofi media that you may try. Speaker 2 Oh. Quinny Yeah. So OK, it’s not a Raven, it’s a magpie. And in Korean culture, the A, this is a it’s a historical joke. So the, the, the, the tiger and the magpie is the punchline of a historical joke. That tigers were traditionally shown as being the representative of the upper class and of rich culture, and specifically the governing class, and the magpie was the symbol of the lower class, the worker. Pass whatever and the hat which I’ve got to remember the name of. Thank you. If somebody wants to look it up for me, that’d be great. The hat is essentially a symbol of power. And so there’s a joke, or there’s a moment in there where the sorry. Dion It’s called a gap. It’s called a get, yeah. Speaker 4 Yeah. Jill Yeah, ginu ginu. Quinny So. Jill Said he made it for the tiger. Quinny So yeah, that’s the joke is that it’s a symbol of power that was meant for the tiger, but the magpie keeps stealing it. Speaker Ah. Quinny And so it’s the it’s a symbol that the lower class will always get one up on the upper class because the upper class is ******* stupid and that’s why he’s derpy. And you’ll see in a lot of Korean art, tigers are always drawn slightly cross eyed or just a little bit dumb looking. Jill Quinny And it’s because essentially, they’re just going upper class. The stupid look at the smart magpie with three eyes, you can see everything. Dion So this is exactly like parasite. Ardella Yeah, that’s what we’re saying. Speaker 4 Yeah. Dion No, just that that character representation of the blue cat and the magpie is just parasite as a metaphor. Quinny Yeah. Jill Yeah. Yep, yeah. Quinny And and it makes that sequence where where Derpy comes out and knocks over the plant and then just can’t get it to stand up way too long. Like ohh you stupid. Speaker Yes. Thank you. Dion But it’s good to know, you know, like, I like those little trivia bits. It’s fun. It’s fun to. Ardella Learn. Feel like I I was so. Impressed that for the first time I think ever. Speaker Hmm. Ardella A Netflix trailer. Managed to intrigue and make me want to watch more and actually get me invested in the story without giving away the actual plot. Yeah, there is. There is a very surface level plot being shown out there and I think now that people are, you know, watching more of the clips on TikTok and Instagram and that sort of thing and watching even the golden video clip, they’ll, you might get spoiled. Quinny Hmm. Ardella Before watching the movie, if you’ve seen all of that, but for me my first tip popped off in the opening in. Quinny In the you’re missing how many sticks are you missing? Ardella Well, I have lost the second hit for me when the pattern reveal. Speaker 7 Hmm. Ardella Happened in the. Speaker Ah. Ardella There was. It is very rare that any movie, a movie directed for adults with high levels of intelligence, they rarely get me with the whoa. What happened there was seeing that coming. This movie did that, I gasped. At that reveal, there were. There was nothing in me that thought that that was coming and that is so rare these days. I am so impressed that this movie called K Pop Demon. And so kind of surface level, you know, just fun on top, managed to have this flip. It had this beautiful level of depth to it. I just really loved that so much. I would have enjoyed, I think, a movie where it was just a, you know, magical girl. Banned fighting demons. I would have enjoyed that anyway, but this went a step further. Speaker Hmm. Quinny So in when we’re talking about the patterns and we’re talking about that, that reveal and that question about Rumi. What are the? Different like so I think that there are so many different layers of what it could mean. And I think one of the things that’s really smart about the film is that. It. Doesn’t specifically say it means any one thing. But what? What did you guys? Ardella Because they’re they’re waiting for the sequel or the spin offs or. Jill Yeah. So we’re gonna get the story that gives you the back story about, like who roomie’s father was and what happened to her mother and the the what were they called the Sunshine Sisters or whatever. Quinny Yeah. Speaker Yeah. Jill The. Quinny Yeah. Jill Band. Was and then we also need to have Gino come back because that was unfair how he went. Out. I know it was a beautiful sacrifice, but no, I want Ginyu back. Ardella He’s now in the blade, though. If you if you watch the sequence, you can see his spirit get pulled into the blade, which is an actual thing in Korean. Quinny Oh no. Ardella Mythology. Spirit blades. I believe. I believe I’m not Korean. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Jill OK, well I love. I love me as sexy anthropomorphize spirit coming out. Of the sword. So I’ll take. Yeah. Speaker 3 And then the grade. Ardella Changes once his spirit is absorbed into it, so you can see the two different forms of the the blades are. Jill I need to ******* watch this movie again. Don’t. Ardella Very, very cool. Speaker 13 I let’s go right now. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Dion Let’s see. We’re doing a watch along right now. Speaker 4 It’s. Jill Now become a live stream. Quinny So damn, what was your you? You had some different takes on on what, some of that meaning may have? Been. Dion Which what do you mean the the meaning of which the whole? Quinny Thing of the past. Dion There’s a lot going on me was there? Did I say something that I’ve I’ve undoubtedly forgotten since yesterday? Quinny On. Yeah, well, quite possibly. So, I mean there there’s, there’s that whole thing of like being, you know, intergenerational trauma, like of this is the Korean trauma. Of what? Their history is the split of the country, North and South Korea, which you can read into that. You could also read into it an LGBT thing of this thing that you have to keep hidden about. Yourself. And whether or not she’s allowed to be, especially in K pop, the idea that is she allowed to be who she actually is. Because that is not appropriate like that whole thing of you wearing marks on your. That. You have to keep hidden. I think it has a lot of meaning for a lot of different people for probably a lot of different reasons. Speaker 1 MHM. Ardella Yes, I would agree. I would hesitate to say that this is implying that Ruby is LGBTQIA plus at all, but I have 100% think that people who are LGBTQ a. Quinny No, not necessarily. Ardella Us could find a lot of parallels there. Quinny Yeah, I think that that’s sort of like that X-Men kind of thing. It’s like, yeah, no, we’re not saying that these characters are gay or whatever, but they are a fantastic. Ardella Except the ones that. Quinny Are. Yeah. So my my best X-Men guy. Ardella I think it’s really interesting. We’re seeing a lot of this storyline coming out in a lot of Asian and Asian American stories over the last decade especially, I’ve noticed a a real through line in a lot of the media that I’ve seen, at least. Where these cultures seem to be very much from an outsider perspective. Very much about conforming and not rocking the boat and being being part of a whole community that works well together because everyone kind of assimilates and and doesn’t step outside of the mold or make anyone uncomfortable. And I think yeah, exactly. I think that there is a lot of media coming out these days. Jill Yeah, homogeneous. Ardella And it’s interesting, Jill, that you mentioned Everything Everywhere all at once earlier, because that’s definitely part of the story behind that movie and and a real message in that movie is. Is that we need to allow the newer generations to be a little bit more unique and individual and celebrate that as something that is wonderful and and adds colour to our cultures and our societies, rather than being something that we should squash. Or avoid and to me, that’s what the patterns were and that’s what you know, was a a real underlying message behind this story is it’s not about conforming, it’s about celebrating what’s unique and individual about each of us. Jill Yeah. Quinny Yeah, I I did just check and and the reason I brought it up is because of the writer did say that the the intent was that it was a. Bit like coming. Out to your parents? Ohh, so she was. She was. It was a very deliberate piece to say hey, it’s like that. She’s not saying that Remy is, you know. Dion So coming out. Ardella I mean, could be you go off in your head cannons out there. Dion To your friends. Also coming coming out to your friends who have literally been trained to murder. You. Speaker 13 Your your partner. Quinny Yeah. Dion For the whole thing. Speaker 4 Yes. Dion Look, I like the little bit of the sort of Buffy the Vampire Slayer chosen. Ones. You know, how do we do this? We just kind of go and kill these faithless demons which there are thousands and thousands and thousands of them, apart from the very special one. Quinny Yeah, very. Dion That ohh wait. Yes. Yes. So you know I got that sort of storyline. Ardella Although I do think that there is a pot, I mean obviously we see Janus. Progression where he was genuinely villainous. He was * ****. Wow, what * **** we learned. Dion Sure. What is it again with? Absolutely ancient men and young women. Jill That’s like type. Speaker 4 Being like can. Ardella You I I just want to be rich and wealthy at the expense of my family. What a ******* nightmare, human. But then. Speaker And. Ardella Obviously evolves and become someone who we can genuinely sympathise with, I think, but I feel like we also, especially in that scene, I think Jill, you mentioned the the signing scene, we see a lot of the other members of the Demon Boy Band of the Sargent Boys. Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah. Ardella Have a little bit more personality and a little bit more empathy, I think, than I was expecting and I I would be interested to see that explored a bit more. As well, yeah. Speaker 1 Hmm. Quinny One thing I do love is also the the historical mythological context of it too, that the the idea of the the Singing priestess is is quite a a long history in Korean culture. So the moon or mudang not mudang. Are a an offshoot of of Korean shamanism who their their whole thing was, you know, singing to keep their people safe and, you know, reach out and and bridge the world between gods and humans and so forth. And you see that at the at the very start, like there’s the flashback to the original ones. They’re they’re all traditional like priestess outfits. But then the fact that they’re, you know, really latching into the the Korean singing group thing. You know that there was another group in the 50s and the 60s called the the Kim Sisters. Who group of three well known all around the world, appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. Did like 22 shows over the years on Ed Sullivan. Like that kind of thing. We’re going. Yes, we’re gonna do it. I love the idea that we could have, you know, stories told in different time frames. Ardella Yeah. And before the Kim’s sisters, there was the Jair Gory sisters. I think it’s pronounced and they were also a three piece girl band who we assume is kind of being referenced in that introduction as well. Dion Can can we just make sure that we even if we go across different time periods they still kill demo? That’s right. Yes, as long as there’s still some demon hunting and killing going on in there. I’m fine. I’m on board with it. Ardella Like. Quinny 100%. Speaker 4 Absolutely. Ardella 100 percent, 100% yeah. I also need to mention I’m sure many of us already know this, but Saja as the name of the Saja boys also has multiple meanings. It means lion. Dion Yeah, yeah. Ardella But it is also a kind of slang term for the grim Reaper. So there’s that duality there. So that’s that’s why they have the lion like logo. That’s what they’re saying. That’s the that’s the loud part. They’re like, we’re the Lion Boys essentially, but. Speaker 2 Oh. Quinny I didn’t know. Dion That, and also dark and mysterious. Quinny And. Ardella It’s also. Through. Yeah, slang for the grim Reaper in South Korea. Quinny And I don’t think I would have understood or appreciated this film if I hadn’t for the past couple of years had an awful lot to do with idol culture like, yeah, but I I’ve learned a lot in the past few years of working for idol festivals and, you know. The whole idol scene and. And. Something that I find fascinating and is really like key to the film, but it’s sort of unless you’ve seen the crowds doing their thing in person. The relationship between crowd and band. Is incredibly intense. Like and the crowds at these events are not. Just, you know, observers, they’re part of the show and they see their role really importantly, you know, all of the glow glowing sticks that they’re holding up all of the colours that they choose to wear, the fact that they, you know, stand a particular singer or whatever and will then change the. Ardella They’re bias. Quinny Yeah, yeah. You know, they will do all these things and like, you’ll see them during songs. Like I watch them at smash people climbing up on each other’s shoulders just so that they can. Performatively go. You know, I’m not actually singing at you. I’m just showing you how much I appreciate what you’re doing. Is like if you don’t know about it, you’re gonna think it’s ******* weird as ****, which I did for a while, but then when you see it, you go ohh. OK, I get it. And now I watch this film and you realize why so much time is spent with the fandom as well, like. They they spend a lot of time, you know, looking at the the kinds of fans who have latched on to these people. Is it the the sex starved older ladies? Is it the preteen girls who are just utterly, you know, smitten? Is it the big boofy guys who will cry at the drop of a hat? You know, all of that is. Ardella I think it’s interesting, though, to suggest that it’s just a AK pop thing or a J pop thing or something like that where you have these biases when you think about, you know, kiss people would wear their specific band members makeup style to go to a kiss concert. It’s it’s a similar. Quinny Oh, not at all. Speaker 4 Yeah, it’s just all. Jill About finding community and the things that. You love, yeah. Quinny Yeah. Really. And. And it’s also like I remember I wanted to write a ******* paper on this at one point. It’s the the concept of avatar rism that you wear the thing that you want to take on the, the, the, the feeling of you know, so. Jill Dude, I’ve done it for 20 years doing cosplay. Speaker 13 Exactly. Hello cosplay? Yeah. Quinny And cosplay is cosplay is like the the the doing it out loud and doing it at the biggest possible way. But for other people it’s that whole thing of wearing your favorite band T-shirt or wearing a Superman T-shirt or wearing, you know something. It’s that thing of. Jill Yeah. Quinny This gives me all these feelings. And I want to then wear it so that I can try and, you know. Jill Yeah. Now, name five of their. Songs. Ardella Jesus. Speaker 4 Yeah. Ardella And when you bring that all together, it really is. Powerful and I. Quinny Hmm. Ardella Think that that’s what they’re they’re tapping into on both sides here where you know that it can be used for good or for evil. Quinny Yeah. And. And the idea that a golden home moon only comes when, like, everybody’s actually being true about who they are, you know, that’s a it’s a pretty powerful ******* feeling. Yeah. Speaker Beautiful. Dion Yeah, beautiful. Speaking of powerful feelings. What are we doing for the rest of? The month, I don’t know. You don’t. You don’t know. Even though you you know exactly what it is. We’ve got a few things. There’s a lot going on in the month of the Merry, Merry month of August. We’ve got lots of movies that are out there. Things like nobody too. Quinny I do have a do in front of. Dion And one that we’re gonna see tomorrow night, which is. Weapons. Quinny Yeah. Dion You need the weapon. Give me the yeah. OK. Ardella I saw an ad for weapon the other night which just said 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and it was a print ad and I was like that. That’s a that’s a strong choice. Dion Yeah. Speaker 1 Hmm. Jill From the team that brought us barbarian. Dion Yeah. Jill He ******* loves barbarian. Dion Yeah, that was. That was one that came out of left field w

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?

Hello and welcome to Bill vs the MCU! Each month your hosts Pop Break Podcasting Director Alex Marcus and Pop Break Editor in Chief Bill Bodkin are taking another step into the wider Marvel Multiverse as the MCU dives deeper into their Multiverse Saga. Bill & Alex spent all of 2022 rewatching the first four phases of the MCU, and they just spent 2023 covering the first phase of Netflix's The Defenders Saga and the first four seasons of ABC's Agents of SHIELD. This year, they journeyed into Fox's X-Verse with their X-Treme X-Watch. Now they are back with their Defenders Disassembled miniseries, where they take a tour through all the final seasons of every Marvel Netflix series as they get ready for the triumphant return of Matt, Karen, Foggy, and Frank in Daredevil: Born Again this spring. First, a new MCU show is here! Agatha All Along is out and blowing up Disney Plus. Alex & Bill will give you their customary season rewatch treatment of the show in a few months, along with a look back at Echo, but, with this being the tenth Marvel Studio's TV series of the Disney Plus era, the guys thought it might be fun to take a quick tour through the last three and a half years by ranking every Disney Plus MCU series so far. After that, stick around for an in depth discussion of the surprisingly improved second and final season of Iron Fist, wherein even Danny Rand slowly comes to realize he kind of sucks and Jessica Henwick's Colleen Wing is the true star and we meet yet another Marvel TV Ward. Watch along with us! Next episode's title is Daredevil S3 (available to stream on Disney+), which will be covered in our episode later this month.

Brad and Jake tackle, but Brad hasn't seen any movies from 1943, so he recommends the acclaimed The Life & Times of Colonel Blimp. This unconventional epic spanning the Second Boer War and both World Wars was helmed by the Archers (Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger), and starred Roger Livesey, Anton Walbrook, and Deborah Kerr in knockout performances. Jake, with little in his 1943 arsenal, asked Brad to watch Disney's Saludos Amigos. But since it's more of a tourism ad than it is a movie, Brad took the opportunity to rank all 61 Disney Animated Features released at the time of this recording, from Snow White to Strange World. Other movies mentioned in this episode: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940), Dumbo (1941), Bambi (1942), The Three Caballeros (1944), Make Mine Music (1946), Fun and Fancy Free (1947), Melody Time (1948), The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949), Cinderella (1950), Alice in Wonderland (1951), Peter Pan (1953), Lady and the Tramp (1955), Sleeping Beauty (1959), One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), The Sword in the Stone (1963), The Jungle Book (1967), The Aristocats (1970), Robin Hood (1973), The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977), The Rescuers (1977), The Fox and the Hound (1981), The Secret of NIMH (1982), The Black Cauldron (1985), The Great Mouse Detective (1986), Oliver & Company (1988), All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989), The Little Mermaid (1989), The Rescuers Down Under (1990), Rock-a-doodle (1991), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), The Lion King (1994), Pocahontas (1995), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), Hercules (1997), Mulan (1998), Tarzan (1999), Fantasia 2000 (1999), Dinosaur (2000), The Emperor's New Groove (2000), Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), Lilo & Stitch (2002), Treasure Planet (2002), Brother Bear (2003),Home on the Range (2004), Chicken Little (2005), Meet the Robinsons (2007), Bolt (2008), The Princess and the Frog (2009), Tangled (2010), Winnie the Pooh (2011), Wreck it Ralph (2012), Frozen (2013), Big Hero Six (2014), Zootopia (2016), Moana (2016), Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018), Frozen II (2019), Raya and the Last Dragon (2021), Encanto (2021), Strange World (2022)

But for the sake of reviewing the monorail resorts, we're playing Preserve, Refurb, Demolish: our version of Kiss, Marry, Kill.

Bippity Boppity Business: A podcast for Disney Enthusiasts and Business Professionals.
Every Disney movie, show, park ride, and themed entertainment experience starts with an idea… but what really brings that idea to life is a writer and storyteller. Imagine a story you've created and developed over time being shown to thousands of people. Imagine them in absolute awe, falling in love with the characters and the storyline. That's so incredible, it gives me goosebumps! As a writer of both books and immersive experiences, Stacy Barton loves hearing, seeing, shaping, and sharing stories. She also values how stories come to life with an audience and how that experience impacts them, no matter what age they're at. So, what is it like to be a freelance writer that has worked with companies like Seaworld, Ringling Bros., and Disney? How does someone become a successful creative writer and storyteller? Listen in as I welcome Stacy Barton, writer, and award-winning author, to have a magical discussion about impactful storytelling and connecting with your audience through immersive experiences the “Disney Way.” In this episode, Stacy and I discuss: - Stacy's journey to becoming a writer for Disney, SeaWorld, Ringling Bros., and more! - Tips for aspiring Disney writers. - How to connect to your audience and speak to their heart in the age of digital pollution. - The challenges and most fun parts of being a contracted writer or creative. - What the collaborative creative process is like for Disney's themed entertainment. - Why is hope a theme people are searching for right now? - The connection between business, marketing, and storytelling.
