In this episode, Chris Cochrane guest-hosts for his brother Ray and devotes the whole show to one event: Disney’s D23 2026 fan convention in Anaheim. Friday night delivered Marvel’s new X-Men cast, Adam Driver as Mister Sinister, a fresh Avengers: Doomsday trailer, and a release date for Frozen 3. Saturday turned to the parks, with Villains Land, an Indiana Jones dark ride, the long-awaited Expedition Everest yeti repair, and a Monsters Inc land opening in 2027. – Want to start a podcast?

Instead of six or eight unrelated stories, the entire episode covers Disney’s D23 convention, which he compares to Apple’s WWDC. For newcomers, he notes that D23 is Disney’s official fan club, named for the company’s founding year of 1923. This year’s event ran two nights at the Honda Center: Friday for movies and television, Saturday for the theme parks. Marvel Finally Casts the X-Men Friday’s headline was the X-Men. The Associated Press put the crowd near 12,000, and Marvel Studios used that stage to name its rebooted team. Christopher Abbott plays Professor Charles Xavier, Inde Navarrette plays Rogue, and Maya Boyd plays Storm. Adam Driver rounds out the group as the villain Mister Sinister. Meanwhile, Samara Weaving, Kit Connor, and Sadie Sink were already known as Emma Frost, Cyclops, and Jean Grey. Jake Schreier directs, and the film arrives May 5, 2028. Chris calls the lineup spot-on casting. He singles out Weaving as a perfect match for the comics, and he points out that Sink already appeared as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Navarrette is the least established name, coming off a breakout role in an indie horror film. Boyd, meanwhile, was the name he knew least, with what he believes is a Broadway background. Above all, Chris hopes Marvel does the team justice, and he recommends the animated revival X-Men ’97 on Disney+ as the best place to start. Frozen 3 Gets a Date and a Chaotic Reveal Frozen 3 lands November 24, 2027. That is the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, the same slot the first two films used. The story centers on Anna and Kristoff’s wedding, which a new villain, an evil Ice Queen, disrupts. Jennifer Lee returns to direct with Trent Correy, and the full voice cast is back. However, the reveal itself fell apart. Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel performed a darker arrangement of “Frozen Heart.” Meanwhile, the audio failed, the video failed, and a set of doors never opened. Menzel asked the crowd whether they should try it again, and Bell simply narrated everything that was supposed to happen. Afterward, Josh Gad sang “Oooh, Samantha,” a new love song for Olaf. Chris is here for it, since Olaf is one of the franchise’s best comic characters. Pixar, Disney Animation, and the Rest of Friday Night Pixar chief Pete Docter laid out a packed slate. Incredibles 3 hits summer 2028 and follows Violet and Dash sneaking out at night to fight crime. Chris hopes that finally shows a grown-up Jack-Jack. Coco 2 follows in November 2029 with Benjamin Bratt returning as Ernesto de la Cruz. That has fans puzzling over how a villain already in the Land of the Dead comes back. Additionally, Pixar showed an original called Ghost Market and a Venice-set cat film called Gatto. On the Disney Animation side, Zootopia 3 is confirmed. The live-action Tangled arrives March 31, 2028 with Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel. Chris considers that casting perfect after her turn in Agatha All Along. A live-action Lilo & Stitch sequel, a new Simpsons movie, a Bluey movie, and a Kingdom Hearts anime series round out the list. For Star Wars fans, Ahsoka returns January 20, 2027. Chris also offers a hot take: he prefers Rogue One to the entire sequel trilogy. Consequently, he welcomes original stories like Ryan Gosling’s upcoming Starfighter. Adam Driver Is Mister Sinister Driver appeared by video rather than in person. He told the crowd that he and Kevin Feige had talked for years about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then he announced he would play Magneto. After a long pause, he corrected himself to Nathaniel Milbury, which is Mister Sinister’s human alias. The gag landed because fans had floated Driver for Magneto for years. For anyone new to the comics, Chris explains that Mister Sinister is a geneticist obsessed with mutant DNA, a manipulator rather than a brawler. The cast met backstage only minutes earlier, so Chris is curious how their chemistry develops. Notably, Christopher Abbott previously worked with Driver on HBO’s Girls. The script comes from Beef creator Lee Sung Jin and The Bear co-showrunner Joanna Calo, two prestige-television names that have Chris excited. Why the X-Men Took Thirty Years to Reach the MCU A business story underlies the casting. In the 1990s, a financially struggling Marvel sold film rights to raise cash. Fox ended up with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, and Sony took Spider-Man. As a result, Marvel Studios built its connected universe from 2008 onward without some of its most famous characters. The Hugh Jackman era of X-Men films belonged to Fox, with a separate continuity and no crossovers. That changed in 2019, when Disney closed its $71 billion purchase of 21st Century Fox’s film and television studio. Most coverage framed the deal as a streaming play, but it also brought the X-Men home. Chris sums it up neatly: Disney signed the paperwork in 2019, cast the film in 2026, and audiences see it in 2028. Ryan Gosling’s Starfighter, Ghost Rider, and VisionQuest Lucasfilm dated Star Wars: Starfighter for May 28, 2027. Gosling plays Kade Auberon, a pilot from the wrong side of the galaxy tied to the fastest starfighter ever built. Before he walked out, Disney played clips of him as a kid on The Mickey Mouse Club. Gosling said the company changed his life then and is changing it again now. He is also playing Ghost Rider in the Marvel universe. That thrills Chris, since Nicolas Cage last carried the character on the big screen. Meanwhile, the Disney+ series VisionQuest arrives October 14. Paul Bettany returns as Vision and James Spader as Ultron, and the trailer drops the two androids into oddly mundane human situations. Bettany joked that Vision has “rather inconveniently died several times.” Chris agrees the character has been through the wringer since WandaVision. The Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18, with Joe and Anthony Russo directing. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Hayley Atwell introduced the new footage. It offers the clearest look yet at Downey as Doctor Doom, who fights off Thor and takes his hammer. Evans appears as Captain America holding a baby, and Ian McKellen shows up as a haggard, long-haired Magneto. One quieter shot has Doom staring at a portrait of a lost wife and child. That frames him as a grieving avenger rather than a world-ender. He also commands an army of comic-accurate Sentinels. The cast pulls from the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the legacy Fox X-Men, including Patrick Stewart. Hugh Jackman also appeared on screen to say he is willing to return as Wolverine, though that was not a confirmation. Chris, a self-described Marvel nerd, closes with a theory. He suspects the MCU’s Tony Stark was actually Victor von Doom, adopted by the Starks, which would explain the Downey casting. He also predicts the Fox-era X-Men die off in this film and that Thor may be the major casualty. If it happens, he wants credit for calling it.

Disney Parks Around the World Saturday’s Disney Experiences showcase covered parks, resorts, and cruise ships, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting. Hong Kong Disneyland gets an Avengers pavilion that reshapes its Stark Expo skyline. Shanghai Disneyland is building the first land devoted entirely to Spider-Man, complete with a new coaster. Since Spider-Man is his favorite hero, Chris hopes to visit once it opens. Closer to home, Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is doubling in size with two rides opening in 2028. Avengers: Infinity Defense brings back Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Chris Hemsworth, and Downey, while Stark Flight Lab adds Brie Larson. A Coco boat ride into the Land of the Dead is also coming, with no height requirement. Chris admits he prefers California Adventure to Disneyland because the rides are better. Overseas, Disneyland Paris will retire its Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain overlay at the end of 2027 and restore the original Jules Verne theme. Paris also gets the first ride ever based on The Lion King. Tokyo Disneyland adds Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue, the first Wreck-It Ralph ride, plus a Space Mountain launch sequence designed with YouTuber Mark Rober. Finally, Disney Cruise Line announced three more ships, including the Disney Believe in 2027 and an entirely new class in 2029. Back in Anaheim, Tomorrowland is getting reimagined, which Chris welcomes because the land badly needs an update. The Magic Happens parade and the Remember Dreams Come True fireworks are both returning. For the tech crowd, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run now has a Fortnite crossover, where in-game missions unlock content on the real ride. Every New Walt Disney World Ride and Land Chris ranks the Florida parks Hollywood Studios first, then Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom leads the announcements with Villains Land, now the official name. It features a Maleficent coaster through an enchanted briar and a boat ride through the Evil Queen’s catacombs. Reporting puts its scale near Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Glenn Close appeared in character as Cruella to announce it. Piston Peak, the Cars area replacing Tom Sawyer Island, adds two more rides, though their exact names remain unsettled. Additionally, the Carousel of Progress gets new scenes and a recast. Jamie Lee Curtis and Bryan Cranston will voice Mom and Dad starting late spring 2027. Chris, invoking Heisenberg, calls Cranston the GOAT. At Animal Kingdom, the Indiana Jones ride now has a name: Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent. It tells an original 1950 story inside a Maya temple, and Harrison Ford personally served as the physical model for the animatronic. Nearby, the Tropical Americas land brings Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, with more than fifty animal animatronics and no height requirement. Then comes the fix park regulars have wanted for years. The Expedition Everest yeti broke soon after the ride opened. Rather than fix it, Disney lit it with a strobe for over a decade, earning the nickname disco yeti. Now it is being repaired and returned to full motion. Chris rates Everest among his top five rides anywhere, and he suggests riding it before the fix so you can compare. Over at Epcot, Spaceship Earth gets its first major story rewrite in nearly twenty years, shifting from communication history to human connection. Dreamfinder also returns to Journey Into Imagination, and Disney Experiences chairman Thomas Mazloum introduced that news with two words: “we heard you.” Mazloum added that Disney has more projects underway than at any point in its history. After this rundown, Chris believes him. Monsters Inc Land Opens in 2027 Monstropolis begins opening at Hollywood Studios in early 2027, but in stages. The headline door coaster will not be ready on day one. It is the first suspended coaster in any Disney park. It also uses Disney’s first vertical lift, hauling riders about forty feet straight up before launching them into the door vault. Instead, the land opens with the Glob Theater’s “Welcome to Monstropolis” show and Harryhausen’s, a working sushi restaurant lifted from the first film. The stage show features an original song by Randy Newman, his first ever written for a theme park attraction. Chris also notes that the restaurant name honors stop-motion legend Ray Harryhausen. Wrapping up, Chris names the X-Men casting and the Doomsday trailer as his favorite moments of the weekend. He hopes to cover more movie news on future shows, and he plugs Dune: Part Three, which also opens December 18.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.At D23 last week, Disney's fan event showcasing much of their upcoming film and tv projects, we were at last treated to a full trailer for VisionQuest, which will debut October 14 on Disney+. The third and final installment of the trilogy that includes WandaVision and Agatha All Along, VisionQuest looks like it will send us on a trippy ride with The Vision, played by Paul Bettany. Those of us angsting for Avengers: Doomsday story crumbs were also treated with a special look presented for the December blockbuster. The shorter trailer, which was first shown at San Diego Comic Con, starts with dialogue from Sue Storm, indicating our MCU Fantastic Four team is connected to Robert Downey, Jr.'s Victor von Doom.One of the most anticipated announcements in MCU history took place at D23, when Marvel Studios exec Kevin Feige announced the cast of the upcoming X-Men film. The cast includes Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Christopher Abbott as Professor Charles Xavier, and Maya Boyd as Storm. Adam Driver will be playing the villainous Mr. Sinister. The movie will be released on May 5, 2028 nearly 10 years after the Disney acquisition of Fox Studios and will kick off the three MCU movies coming out in 2028. The other big nerd-dom announcement at D23 was the release of a first trailer for Ahsoka season 2, which will premiere on January 20, 2027, on Disney+. Lars Mikkelson's Thrawn returns as the big bad for the Rebel Alliance, while in a galaxy truly far, far, away, Ahsoka and Sabine battle themselves and mystic threats while coming face to face with what it means to be a Jedi. This look at the show may clue us in as to why the debut date got pushed to next year. Shawn Levy and Ryan Gosling were also at D23 where a clip from Star Wars: Starfighter was shown, but has not yet been released publicly.Peacock has released the first trailer for season 2 of The Office spin off The Paper. The full season drops on September 9. At D23, Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed to Deadline that Johnny Depp is in early talks to reprise his role as Jack Sparrow in an upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean reboot. Sources also emphasize that Depp will serve as a side character, not a central character in the upcoming film. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has passed the $2 billion dollar mark after just 3 weeks in theaters, becoming the eighth film in history to hit the benchmark. The film is the second fastest to hit this mark only behind Avengers: Endgame. At D23, Disney offered up the first look at the live action adaptation of Tangled, which stars Teagan Croft, Milo Manheim, and Kathryn Hahn. The studio also announced a release date of March 31, 2028. Hayden Panettiere, known for her roles on shows such as Heroes and Nashville has died at the age of 36. At D23, Pixar showed off some very early concept art for Incredibles 3 and Coco 2. Incredibles 3 will debut on June 16, 2028 and Coco 2 is currently set for a November 2029 release. HBO has announced a season 2 renewal for It: Welcome to Derry, the It prequel series from Warner Bros. Television and executive producers Andy and Barbara Muschietti. At D23, Disney showed some early images of the live action Lilo & Stitch 2, which currently has a release date of May 28, 2028.

Message from Church at the Creek ©2026 Updated Every Monday Afternoon Our Vision: Where ANYONE can BELONG before they BELIEVE. Our Mission: Share Jesus. Build Believers. churchatthecreek.com/ Church at the Creek's YouTube channel: bit.ly/400WOqA Listen on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/3wB6nQG Listen on Spotify: spoti.fi/3LyMe5M Listen on Soundcloud: @churchatthecreek

What if the very thing the world calls a mistake is exactly what God calls chosen? In this message drawn from the beloved story of Lilo and Stitch, we explore what it truly means to belong. Through the lens of two outcasts finding each other, we are reminded that God never creates accidents. No label, no rejection, no painful history disqualifies us from His love. The key scriptures anchoring this message come from Psalm 139, where we are reminded that God knit us together with intention and that His thoughts toward us outnumber the grains of sand. We also look at Romans 5:8, which tells us that God demonstrated His love by sending Christ to die for us while we were still in our mess, not after we cleaned up. The parallel between Stitch being chosen by Lilo despite being called a monstrosity and the way God chooses us despite our flaws is both striking and deeply personal. The message challenges us to stop agreeing with the accusations of the enemy and start receiving the truth of who God says we are. If we have ever felt like an outsider, forgotten, or written off, this message speaks directly to that place and invites us into something far greater than we imagined.

What's going on everybody?! Got a really interesting topic here for us today. It's the story of Daveigh Chase.. You may know her from The Ring, Donnie Darko or even the voice of Lilo in Lilo and Stitch. She's got a pretty fucked up story and has passed away this year at age 35. Let's dive into what could have possibly happened to Daveigh. Hate the Ads? Join Patreon! PATREON (ROOM 237)!⁠https://www.patreon.com/Cosmicpeachpodcast⁠Want to reach out? Ghost.peach@outlook.com

Family movie night sounds simple — but Bret Eckelberry, managing editor and movie reviewer at Plugged In, makes the case that it's one of the most powerful tools in a parent's toolbox. He joins Brian From to talk about why shared screen experiences matter, how to get resistant kids on board, and what movies actually make for great family nights. His picks span the decades: Inside Out for its remarkable ability to give families a shared emotional vocabulary; Toy Story 5 for its surprisingly timely take on screen addiction and the value of real-world friendships (when it hits streaming); and The Rookie, the 2002 Dennis Quaid film about a high school teacher who gets a second shot at his baseball dream — really a story about a man growing into his role as a husband and father. Brian and Bret also tackle the deeper question of whether family movie night always needs a discussion point (short answer: no — sometimes laughing together is the whole point), and Bret confesses the classic family movie he's always been happy to skip. His pick for a family with 8 and 10-year-olds this weekend: the original Lilo and Stitch.

🌺👽 ¡LILO & STITCH! 🏄‍♂️💙 Esta vez ponemos rumbo a Hawái para reencontrarnos con una de las películas más especiales de Disney. Lilo & Stitch nos hizo reír con un experimento alienígena completamente caótico, pero también nos enseñó que la familia no siempre es la que te toca… sino la que decides cuidar. Una historia divertida, emocionante y llena de corazón que sigue emocionando igual que el primer día. 🌊✨ En este programa hablamos de la magia de su animación, de su inolvidable banda sonora, de Elvis, del significado de "ohana" y de por qué esta película fue diferente a cualquier otra de Disney. Un viaje directo a los 2000 para recordar una de las historias más queridas de toda una generación. 🎶🌴 Para acompañarnos en esta aventura nos visita Jordi Cruz, el inolvidable presentador de Art Attack, alguien que despertó la creatividad de miles de niños y que forma parte de la infancia de toda una generación. Con él compartimos recuerdos, risas y mucha nostalgia mientras descubrimos por qué Lilo & Stitch sigue ocupando un lugar tan especial en nuestros corazones. 🎨💙 👉 Dale al play y acompáñanos a redescubrir por qué Lilo & Stitch sigue recordándonos que "ohana significa familia, y familia significa que nadie se queda atrás... ni se olvida." 🌺🚀✨ 🔔 Este episodio cuenta con la colaboración de O2.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. With the live action remake of Moana coming out on July 10th, this week we are covering other live action remakes of animated films. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “Lilo & Stitch” from 2025 starring Maia Kealoha, Sydney Agudong, Chris Sanders, Zach Galifanakis & Billy Magnussen.

One year after Disney announced the live-action Lilo & Stitch sequel, we're checking in on everything we know so far. The biggest news is that Chris Sanders is directing. He co-created the original 2002 animated film and has voiced Stitch from the very beginning, so this property is in the hands of someone who truly knows what ohana means. Disney has also locked in a release date of May 26, 2028, the same Memorial Day window where the first live-action film opened to $183 million on its way to breaking $1 billion worldwide.We also cover what's coming next: filming starts this year, likely back on Oahu, and the sequel will be a completely new story rather than an adaptation of Stitch Has a Glitch. That fresh start opens the door for some repair work after the first film's divisive ending that separated the sisters. Plus, star Maia Kealoha is pushing for Angel, Stitch's female counterpart, to join the cast, and a new Lilo & Stitch short featuring Lilo adopting a cat could hint at where the family dynamic goes next.Timestamps:00:00 Chris Sanders tapped to direct the sequel00:20 Release date locked for May 26, 202800:29 Filming starts this year, likely on Oahu00:36 A brand-new story, not Stitch Has a Glitch00:47 Repairing the first film's ending and reuniting the sisters00:57 The case for Angel and the upcoming Lilo & Stitch shortKey Takeaways:Chris Sanders, co-creator of the 2002 original and the voice of Stitch, is directing the live-action sequel.The release date is set for May 26, 2028, hitting the same Memorial Day window where the first film earned $183 million on opening weekend.Filming begins this year, likely returning to Oahu.The sequel will tell a completely new story instead of adapting Stitch Has a Glitch.The first live-action film crossed $1 billion, which is why the sequel got fast-tracked.Maia Kealoha wants Angel, Stitch's counterpart, in the sequel, and a new short featuring Lilo adopting a cat could set up the family's next chapter.Memorable Quotes:"He knows what Ohana means.""They got to get the sisters back together again. That's crazy. They separated them. That's nuts.""It broke $1 billion. It's the reason we're getting a sequel to this one."Call to Action:If you're excited for Lilo & Stitch 2, make sure to subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines so you never miss an update, leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, and share this episode with a fellow Stitch fan using #LiloAndStitch #Disney #MovieNews.For all the latest geek news, head to https://geekfreakspodcast.com/Follow Us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegeekfreakspodcastThreads: https://www.threads.net/@geekfreakspodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcastListener Question:Do you want Angel to show up in Lilo & Stitch 2, or should the sequel introduce a brand-new experiment?

This week on The Chino and Homeboy Podcast, the homies enter another unhinged Sacrilegious Sunday and somehow turn looksmaxing, Filipino spider battles, fake sex science, OnlyFans drama, big girl content houses, hygiene rules, aviation disasters, and Drake fans into one long bad decision.We get into “maxing” culture, why Filipino spider fighting is basically real-life Pokémon, whether nose shape predicting sexual compatibility is peak pseudoscience, if tall dudes are speedrunning life, the AR-15 vs M16 argument, the weird gray areas in the Paradise documentary, whether OnlyFans counts as cheating, why some people still need shower instructions, and why Drake fans need to calm the hell down.This is comedy, chaos, culture, bad advice, good questions, and three grown men absolutely refusing to stay on topic.18+ comedy podcast.

An example of why this podcast is called "Hardly Focused" - a discussion about Faith No More reuniting turns into reminiscing about The Great Mighty Poo from the Nintendo 64 game Conker's Bad Fur Day. Jack and Nate try their best, but staying on-topic remains a regular struggle. Hey, at least Mike Patton and the boys are back together! Also in this installment of Hardly Focused: What does one formally call a podcast with video? Jack once again injures his right hand. The America 250 concert is everything the Great American State Fair isn't. Louis CK has a new Netflix special, and it's going to do just fine. Remembering Daveigh Chase, whom everyone forgot voices Lilo in Lilo and Stitch. That insane video of the bungee jumper in Brazil who wasn't attached to anything.

Looks like we should stay dry today with no rain in the forecast. A bit warmer than yesterday, too. It's "Hypothetical Thursday", so we asked each other hypothetical questions. Brian's question for Jean was: "If you were going to bury a time capsule that won't be opened for 250 years, what would you put in it?"
