The UK/Australia-exclusive Twisted Tales have done it again. But this time, we have to settle a much bigger question: Are the UK books actually better than the US ones?For Episode 188, Sam and Kaitlyn read Be Prepared by Farrah Rochon, the fourth Twisted Tales release that has been published in the UK/Australia but isn't getting a US release.And at this point, we have evidence.Mari Mancusi gave us Princess of Thieves, which we absolutely loved. Jen Calonita gave us a UK/Australia Twisted Tale after her US books didn't exactly win us over. And then there's Farrah Rochon, who already wrote the Lion King short story for the Twisted Tales anthology and we hated it.So here's the deal: if we like Be Prepared better, we're finally going to have to admit it...The United States is being robbed.Sam and Kaitlyn break down this Lion King retelling, how it compares to the other Twisted Tales we've read, and whether this fourth UK/Australia-exclusive book is enough to settle the debate once and for all.New episodes every Monday at 8 AM EST ✨Next week: Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie⏱️ Time Stamps00:00 Intro02:24 Background06:40 Age Level & Content Warning09:17 Judge a Book by Its Cover11:19 Discussion47:01 US or UK?51:20 General Thoughts52:50 One Question for the Author55:51 Rating58:20 Read Again?58:37 Favorite of the Series so Far59:11 Outro

Buc-ee's Legal Battles, Birthday Wishes & The Quiz Showdown

Nothing says happy birthday quite like Jeremy Piven telling Rizz he's really, really glad he was born.And nothing destroys that warm birthday feeling faster than immediately discussing aggressive beaver litigation.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show.Rizz recently made his first pilgrimage to Buc-ee's in Springfield and came away with a glowing review: it was okay. It was fine. It was big.Take that, travel influencers.But while Rizz may not be ready to dedicate his life to the beaver, Buc-ee's is apparently extremely dedicated to protecting it. The crew discusses a legal battle involving apparel company Born United, which the show says used the Buc-ee's beaver logo on military-style merchandise and continued selling it after receiving cease-and-desist letters.The result discussed on the show: an $850,000 settlement involving trademark infringement, unfair competition and false advertising.That launches this comedy podcast into the larger debate over Buc-ee's aggressively defending its brand, especially when smaller businesses are involved.Lern brings up John Oliver's campaign trolling “Big Beaver” with parody merchandise featuring Mr. Nutterbutter and the phrase “Buck Off.” Instead of simply poking the bear — or beaver — the merchandise is raising money for charity, while Buc-ee's apparently refuses to take the lawsuit bait.Lern and Tim even bought the socks.Naturally.The crew debates where legitimate trademark protection ends and corporate bullying begins. Lern compares it to protecting station branding when somebody blatantly rips off a logo versus going nuclear on some random tiny business that happens to use something vaguely similar.Basically: protect your beaver responsibly.Then it's time to give away concert tickets.And any remaining faith in the American education system.Welcome to the Rizz Quiz.Six callers get 45 seconds of rapid-fire trivia. No skips. One wrong answer ends the run. Highest score wins their choice of concert tickets.These are not impossible questions.That becomes important.Curtis starts the festivities by correctly identifying the colors of a yield sign before saying the main ingredient in butter is oil.Score: one.Rizz then accidentally hangs up on him.Honestly, mercy killing.Brian looks like an early trivia powerhouse when he correctly identifies Garfield as orange, Madrid as the capital of Spain and six as half a dozen.Then he says the planet with the Great Red Spot is Mars.Jupiter would like a word.Score: three.Justin steps up and starts absolutely cooking.A baby kangaroo? Joey.Sapphire? Blue.Girl with the red hood? Little Red Riding Hood.Quarters in two dollars? Eight.Crushed peanuts? Peanut butter.Which ocean borders California?Atlantic.NOOOOOOO.Justin still posts the best score so far with five, but geography has officially entered the building and chosen violence.Next comes Zach, who asks the show to wish his son Jameson a happy 11th birthday.Rizz explains they don't do shout-outs while immediately wishing Jameson a happy birthday and giving him applause.Perfect.Now Dad has to win for Jameson.Unfortunately, Dad does not know how many years are in a millennium.Happy birthday, buddy.Daddy got you 100 years instead of 1,000.Mark is next and nearly gets taken out immediately by Scar from The Lion King. After what feels like a complete psychological journey, he finally remembers the villain's name and battles his way to five correct answers, tying Justin.Then Aaron arrives with the opportunity to avoid a playoff entirely.His first question:What is the bottom color of a standard traffic light?Red.Game over.The answer is green.Aaron scores the day's first zero, and somewhere every DMV employee listening quietly locks the doors.Now we have a playoff.Justin returns first and answers six inches in half a foot.Correct.Bruce Wayne's superhero identity?Batman.Correct.What country is directly north of Mexico?Alaska.ALASKA.The comedy podcast has officially abandoned geography and entered experimental theater.The room absolutely collapses.Not only is Alaska not directly north of Mexico, it is — and we cannot stress this enough — not a country.Justin finishes with two.That leaves Mark needing three correct answers to win.Football safety? Two points.Shape with no corners or straight sides? Circle.Famous New York statue holding a torch?Statue of Liberty.We have a winner.Mark takes the Rizz Quiz crown and chooses Breaking Benjamin with Chevelle tickets, bringing one of the most educationally concerning contests in recent show history to a merciful conclusion.But Rizz has one final question.He reveals the closest-number tiebreaker they could have used: How many floors are in the Empire State Building?Now everybody in the studio gets involved.Devon guesses 54.Lern lands on 88 after changing her answer.Another guess rockets all the way to 224.Rafe goes with 150 — while admitting he almost said 400 before realizing that might make him “sound like a real dumb ass.”Good save.The actual answer according to the quiz?Lern's 88 is closest.Somehow, after an entire segment of listeners getting publicly destroyed by elementary-school trivia, Lern walks away the intellectual champion.So this episode has everything: Jeremy Piven birthday wishes, Buc-ee's trademark warfare, Big Beaver, John Oliver trolling, concert tickets, Garfield, Jupiter, a child learning his father doesn't know what a millennium is, California apparently relocating to the Atlantic Ocean, Alaska declaring independence from the United States and a group of grown adults trying to estimate the height of the Empire State Building.It's trivia.It's chaos.It's The Rizzuto Show.And please remember before getting behind the wheel today:Green is on the bottom.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.showThis week: the Lindsay Clancy murder trial jury hung 11-1, ending in a mistrial. We discuss how judges press juries to agree, and why they maybe shouldn't. And the Tate brothers — one of whom has possessed a fake Mexican passport in the name of “Vladimir Scorpius” — unsurprisingly failed to convince a judge to give them bail pending extradition. We also discuss UEFA, the European soccer body, seeking help from American courts with a criminal investigation of FIFA's effort to sell an equity stake in world soccer to a group led by Jared Kushner's brother, Josh Kushner.Free listeners get our discussion of those cases. Upgrade your subscription to hear about:* Indiana prosecutors have decided the woman who falsely accused Pete Buttigieg of being a risk to his children is too insane to face criminal charges.* Former ICE agent Christian Castro wasn't extradited to face criminal charges in Minnesota, but somewhat surprisingly, he's now under a federal indictment.* Trump won't get to revive his birthright citizenship restrictions, but he can proceed with building his ballroom, as Ken and I discuss who has the least plausible theory of aesthetic standing.* Marco Rubio faces a blow to his efforts to deport non-citizen left-wing student activists.* The alienation of affection lawsuit against former senator Kyrsten Sinema will proceed in a North Carolina federal court, to the apparent annoyance of the judge who will have to preside over it, and* Lebohang Morake, the guy who wrote and performed the Zulu chant at the start of The Lion King, owes legal fees because of a dumb lawsuit he filed against a comedian who offered an incorrect story of what the lyrics mean.

This week the guys kicked things off talking scary childhood movies, from Kate's surprising pick of E.T. to Fitzy's throwback to Aussie slasher flick "Houseboat Horror." Movie chat continued with a debate over the greatest bank robbery films (Heat and The Town got shoutouts) before Fitzy pitched the wild true story of Andre Stander, the cop-turned-bank-robber whose life sounds like it's already a movie (turns out it is). The team also celebrated The Lion King musical with a visit to Taronga Zoo, complete with live performances from the cast and a head-to-head animal trivia battle between producer Oli and real-life zookeeper Wren. Kate introduced the group to the term "boomerang" (someone who only asks questions to talk about themselves), the school drop-off line sparked a hilarious tangent about Kate's homemade "available" light and Wippa confessed his secret dream of being a judge on The Voice.

Corey Reynolds is one of the most versatile performers working in the business today. From his breakout Broadway debut as "Seaweed" in HAIRSPRAY (nominations for Outer Circle Critics Award, Drama Desk Award and the prestigious Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical), to seven seasons playing "Sgt. David Gabriel" opposite Emmy Award- winning actress Kyra Sedgwick on TNT's smash hit series THE CLOSER (five SAG Award nominations, two NAACP Image Award nominations and two Vision Award nominations) Reynolds has been honored for both his comedic and dramatic work. Reynolds recently starred in SYFY's "Resident Alien." The series, which ran for four seasons, follows an extraterrestrial who crash-lands on Earth with the intent to destroy the planet but develops a moral dilemma. He plays "Mike Thompson," the local sheriff who runs the town with a chip on his shoulder, a cowboy hat on his head and an iron fist. He is currently reprising his role of "Cliff Mosley" on season 8 of The CW's ALL AMERICAN. Reynolds has starred in Universal's critically acclaimed film STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON directed by F. Gary Gray. The film chronicles the rise of rap group N.W.A. and has Reynolds playing "Lonzo Williams", the rap group's former nightclub boss whose unwillingness to support their vision sets the stage for N.W.A.'s eventual rise to stardom. He has also starred in THE RUNAROUND starring Emile Hirsch and JK Simmons, and THE MEDDLER starring Susan Sarandon and Rose Byrne. Reynolds can also be seen in the Academy Award-nominated Paramount feature film SELMA, directed by Ava DuVernay and produced by Harpo Films. Reynolds plays the pivotal role of civil rights activist and Martin Luther King confidant, "Rev. C.T. Vivian" opposite David Oyelowo, Tim Roth and Oprah Winfrey. He was born and raised in Richmond, Va., beginning his professional career at age 16 performing around his hometown.  He went on to perform in the national and international tours of the Broadway musicals Smokey Joe's Café and Saturday Night Fever, as well as regional performances of Parade and Avenue X before his work on Broadway and his eventual move to Los Angeles. We chat about what a psychic told him, writing + his Green Lantern spec script, his love of Resident Alien, being emancipated at a young age, gut feeling and leap of faith, choosing Hairspray over The Lion King, working on cruise ships, generosity of spirit plus plenty more!   Check Corey out on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coreyreynoldsLA/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@coreyreynoldsla ------------------------------------------- Follow @Funny in Failure on Instagram and Facebook https://www.instagram.com/funnyinfailure/ https://www.facebook.com/funnyinfailure/

He was also a man whose private life was shrouded in mystery, and for the average person our familiarity with him begins and ends in the one or two plays we are forced to study at school, along with The Lion King and an awareness of crackpot theories surrounding all of these plays being written by someone else (suspects include another playwright with a completely different and humourless style, a tyrannical lord who kicked a pregnant lady in the stomach and a man who died ten years before Billy Shakes stopped producing plays, so it was good of him to leave such a ready supply). Here for you folks now, kicking off Shakestember, we discuss with Willow, a dozen film adaptations, many of which you will definitely want to seek out. Romeo + Juliet (1996) Much Ado About Nothing (1993) Hamlet (1996) The Tempest (2010) The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) Othello (1995) The Merchant of Venice (2004) A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999) Richard III (1995) Twelfth Night (1996) King Lear (2008) Titus (1999) This week's After School Club: The Dark Tower (Part I) Next week: Romeo + Juliet

Well… surprise. I'm pregnant with baby number four.After taking about a month and a half off from the podcast because I've been exhausted, nauseous, and generally useless, I'm finally back with a solo episode and a lot to catch you up on.I'm sharing the very unexpected way I found out I was pregnant, why this pregnancy has kicked my ass compared to the others, how we basically survived the summer on The Lion King, and why by your fourth kid you realize you probably don't need 90% of the baby crap people try to sell you.Then I get into something else I've been talking—and admittedly ranting—about for a long time: school.Last year I pissed off quite a few people with my opinions about homework, summer packets, overscheduled kids, and the fact that young children desperately need more time outside and more time to just be kids. I was told to calm down, be patient, and understand that change takes years.Well… some things actually changed.Mac's school implemented TimberNook, homework is now optional, and I want to talk about what I learned from the whole experience—because sometimes being the squeaky wheel works.I also talk about why family dinner matters so much to me, my ongoing hatred of how insane kids' sports culture has become, why I'm considering keeping Cooper home until he's six, and some of the parenting decisions I wish I could go back and do differently.This one is basically a very honest life update on pregnancy, motherhood, school, advocating for your kids, admitting when you got things wrong, and refusing to accept “this is just how we do it” when you genuinely believe something could be better.- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production

Comedian, actor, and writer Billy Eichner built his entire career by refusing to wait to be chosen. In this conversation, he and Rachel Cooke get into how you bet on yourself when the path doesn't exist yet, how to keep going through constant rejection without letting it paralyze you, and why the wish to be chosen never fully goes away, even after you've made it.Billy is the force behind "Billy on the Street," a co-writer and star of "Bros," and a familiar face from "Parks and Recreation" and "The Lion King." Here he opens up about his new audio memoir, "Billy on Billy," the parents who built his confidence by never instilling shame in him, the artists like Madonna and Barbra Streisand who taught him defiance, and his belief that success can come from love rather than trauma.

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?

Support my Show Sponsor: Best Godaddy Promo Codes Get 1Password Full Summary Chris Cochrane opens the show and explains why this episode breaks the usual format. 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. Chris signs off with the usual mentions: GNC Insider at geeknewscentral.com/insider, email at geeknews@gmail.com, the newsletter, and modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com. He also thanks GoDaddy for over twenty years of support. The post Huge Announcements From D23!! #1873 appeared first on Geek News Central.

Episode 682 — Dream Disney Weekends, Golden Girls & Disney This or ThatThis week, Cousin Heather Stone Capelle is back, and we're having one of those conversations that feels like hanging out with friends and geeking out about Disney for an hour.We start by designing our dream Disney weekends with friends.Heather builds the ultimate Golden Girls getaway with her daughter and her Disney friends, complete with a Beach Club stay, an EPCOT fireworks cruise, a VIP tour, pool time, Victoria & Albert's, wine pairings, and plenty of time to slow down and enjoy being together.Then I start building my own guys weekend with lounge crawls, burger challenges, bourbon, live music, and a possible four-park VIP challenge.And after that…things get competitive.We jump into a big round of Disney This or That, debating everything from resorts and attractions to food, lounges, and Disney traditions.We geek out about:Beach Club vs. PolynesianBoardWalk area vs. Animal Kingdom LodgeContemporary vs. Grand FloridianSkyliner vs. MonorailRope Drop vs. Magic Kingdom at nightHaunted Mansion vs. Pirates of the CaribbeanSoarin' vs. Spaceship EarthRunaway Railway vs. RatatouilleFestival of the Lion King vs. FantasmicCharacter breakfasts vs. signature dinnersNomad Lounge vs. Trader Sam'sDole Whip vs. Mickey Premium BarsBig group trips vs. traveling with one close friendBut some of the best parts of this episode aren't really about choosing one Disney thing over another.Heather and I talk about how much the people you travel with shape the entire trip, why the best plans still need room for spontaneity, and how special it is to spend time at Disney with people who understand why this place means so much to you.Sometimes the best Disney moments aren't the rides or the reservations.They're the laughter, the strange little moments, the pictures you didn't plan, and the friends who make you say:“We've got to do this again.”

What was the filmic movement called mumblecore? Jemma Decristo and dee(dee) c. ardan offer an abridged history of the post-college-centric genre that went mainstream in the early 2000s. One of few mumblecore movies with a Black director and Black leads is 2008's indie romance Medicine for Melancholy by Barry Jenkins, before he did Moonlight If Beale Street Could Talk, and the 2024 Lion King sequel. In the movie, girl living in the Marina hooks up with boy living in the Tenderloin, and a meditation on gentrification ensues, replete with a cameo by anti-gentrification activist Tommi Avicolli Mecca. Return to the time of "violently heterosexual" hipsters on fixed-gear bikes as we talk MOAD vs. MOMA, the influence of Criterion, Awkwafina's blaccent, and why being the solitary blerd or gaysian in an otherwise white clique should never be the goal.

In 1984, the Walt Disney Company was worth more dead than alive. Disney Animation — the heart of Walt's famous flywheel — had stagnated for years, bleeding away talent while corporate raiders circled, salivating over offers to sell off the film library to MGM and offload the parks to hotel operators. But what followed instead was the greatest turnaround in media history under Michael Eisner and Frank Wells. Beauty and the Beast. The Lion King. Broadway. Bringing the Disney Vault home on VHS and DVD. And the greatest media acquisition of all time — ESPN.And then... it all almost fell apart. Again. Euro Disney turned into a money pit. Boardroom and executive infighting ran rampant. Animation descended into a dumpster fire. (Remember Chicken Little? Us neither.) Comcast — Comcast!! — tried to steal the company via a hostile takeover. Out of the chaos, a new generation of Disney management emerged under Bob Iger to stage yet another epic comeback with Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm, creating the defining media empire of the 21st century…until the tech companies came along.

It's Friday, which means absolutely nothing makes sense anymore.Today's comedy podcast somehow manages to connect Guns N' Roses recording new music, Green Day launching a 24/7 YouTube channel, Perez Hilton's heartbreaking situation, a Nicolas Cage John Madden movie, Robert Pattinson becoming Chris Hansen, and perhaps the strangest movie trailer any of us have ever seen... Wicker.Yes. A movie about a man literally made of wicker.Naturally, the show spends way too much time trying to figure out why half the internet suddenly wants to date a decorative patio basket. There are jokes about Pier 1 Imports that absolutely shouldn't work—but somehow do—and the crew completely loses it imagining the logistics of dating someone who probably needs to stay away from open flames.Meanwhile, Slash says Guns N' Roses are finally writing new music again, and for longtime fans that's almost as unbelievable as hearing Axl and Slash are actually getting along. The gang dives into what that reunion means, why Chinese Democracy still feels like it took several presidential administrations to arrive, and whether this album might finally become reality.Music nerds also get excited over Green Day launching a nonstop streaming channel full of concerts, music videos, and rare footage, sparking an entire conversation about why every legendary band should basically become their own MTV.On the celebrity side of the world, things take a much more serious turn as the crew discusses Perez Hilton's recent hospitalization and how public perception changes when someone who built a career covering celebrity meltdowns experiences one of his own. It's thoughtful, honest, and still unmistakably The Rizzuto Show.Movie fans get plenty to chew on with Super Troopers 3, Grown Ups 3, Madden starring Nicolas Cage, Jurassic production drama, and one of the creepiest trailers of the year featuring Robert Pattinson transforming into Chris Hansen. Somehow that's still only the second weirdest trailer discussed.Then, because no Friday is complete without an argument nobody asked for, the crew debates the greatest Disney animated films ever made. Beauty and the Beast? Lion King? Toy Story? Aladdin getting snubbed? Feel free to yell at your speakers along with everyone else.It's packed with rock news, pop culture commentary, ridiculous observations, bizarre movie discussions, celebrity gossip, nostalgic music memories, and enough sarcastic nonsense to carry you into the weekend.If you like your mornings loud, weird, funny, and just a little unhinged, this comedy podcast delivers exactly what you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show... and probably several things you never saw coming.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lern prepares for a family getaway to Table Rock Lake that quickly turns into a debate over golf carts, caves, spas, and whether anyone actually wants to leave the house. The gang dives into the strange pressure of family vacations, why everyone wakes up before sunrise, and whether it's okay to disappear for a solo adventure just to save your sanity.Meanwhile, Rafe makes an emotional confession about falling back in love with cheese after attempting a dairy-free experiment, leading to one of the funniest conversations about comfort food you'll hear all week. The crew also argues over the greatest fast-food burgers in America, gives Dairy Queen's food menu the respect it deserves, and somehow ends up discussing Sonic-related trauma that's apparently lasted decades.Moon continues his streak of bringing the internet's strangest lists, including the world's best food cities, the worst drivers in America, the most romantic cities, and a collection of Victorian slang words that quickly derail into pure nonsense. Somehow "Cupid's kettle drums" becomes a legitimate on-air discussion.There's plenty of classic Rizz Show chemistry throughout as the crew bounces from travel stories to family drama, awkward Airbnb experiences, summer spending habits, childhood freedom, and everything in between. It's exactly the kind of organized chaos listeners expect from a daily comedy show that never stays on one topic for very long.Guns N' Roses recording new music, Green Day launching a 24/7 YouTube channel, Perez Hilton's heartbreaking situation, a Nicolas Cage John to play King Scott in a new movie, Robert Pattinson becoming Chris Hansen, and perhaps the strangest movie trailer any of us have ever seen...

Are dark beers actually stronger? Is draft beer secretly responsible for your hangover? The gang debates science versus "trust me, bro" logic before somehow ending up discussing functional beers loaded with vitamins, probiotics, adaptogens, and enough wellness buzzwords to confuse your local brewery.Rafe returns with another legendary In Memoriam segment featuring everything the show managed to completely derail throughout the week. We revisit the listener email that somehow sparked the now-infamous horny pilgrim ghost conversation, proving once again that The Rizzuto Show audience has a very specific line between "too weird" and "perfectly acceptable."The crew also pays tribute to thousands of dollars worth of stolen Little Debbie snack cakes, because apparently organized crime has moved on from cash and drugs to Cosmic Brownies and Oatmeal Creme Pies.You'll also hear discussions about bizarre new baby names like Chaos, Rooster and Gatorade, King Scott embracing both silk bonnets and fixing appliances, Jimmy Buffett versus Warren Buffett confusion, Taco Bell settlement drama, dangerous Q-tip habits that may or may not unlock another dimension, and Moon's passionate defense of Guinness Zero.As always, Rafe wraps things up with his hilarious rapid-fire memorials before ending on heartfelt tributes to several notable figures who passed away this week, balancing absurd comedy with genuine respect in a way only this crew can.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.How much are Americans spending every weekend on summer activities?Habit Burger's Double Char crowned America's best burgerWorst Drivers in America (2026 Data)NYC ranked most romantic US city despite shaky reputation for singles - whiles a surprising Deep South city cracks the top 5Green Day launch 24/7 YouTube stream 'GDTV' featuring unseen archival footage, full gigs, backstage action, studio sessions and moreHow to Ignite an Internet Frenzy?
