Julio Torres and Martine Gutierrez share a knack for building worlds and characters that operate on their own wonderful, absurdist logic. Throw them together, add some sea water, and you get Marina, their new performance commissioned by the Whitney Biennial. Marina begins with a construction worker tossing a smartphone into the ocean and ends with a sea wench possibly discovering the internet. It's like the Little Mermaid, but filtered through the flights of imagination that Torres and Gutierrez have become known for. Torres first came to prominence as a writer for Saturday Night Live, but has since carved out one of the most distinctive creative paths around. He created the TV shows Los Espookys and Fantasmas, and made his feature debut with Problemista, starring Tilda Swinton. His comedy specials, My Favorite Shapes and Color Theories, are less stand-up than windows into the idiosyncratic way he sees the world. Gutierrez, meanwhile, has spent her career transforming identity into an expansive artistic practice. In her series like ANTI-ICON and Supremacy, she uses performance, photography, and self-portraiture to inhabit a range of personas—from Aphrodite to Lady Godiva. It is work that challenges conventional ideas of femininity while celebrating reinvention and fluidity. Marina won't be the first time that Torres and Gutierrez are collaborating. Gutierrez has appeared in both Los Espookys and Fantasmas, where she played the mysterious Vanesja. The pair also share a rapport that is immediate, playful, and unpredictable, as you'll hear in our conversation. Here they are, talking about Marina, first meetings, fictional personas, and for reasons that will soon become clear, the first half of Speed.

Joshua Noel and Christian Ashley dive deep into the often-overlooked mobile games of the Kingdom Hearts series in this episode, all in the lead-up to the franchise's big 25th anniversary next year. They kick things off by exploring the narrative significance of titles like Coded and Union X, revealing how these games fill in crucial lore gaps while also poking fun at their often convoluted storytelling. Both hosts, being self-proclaimed Kingdom Hearts aficionados, share their thoughts on the games' mechanics and how they connect to the larger franchise, even if they admit that playing mobile games isn't everyone's cup of tea. As they banter about the future of the series and the long-awaited Kingdom Hearts 4 announcement that's just around the corner, listeners are treated to a mix of insightful analysis and cheeky humor. So, whether you're a die-hard fan or just dipping your toes into the Kingdom Hearts waters, this episode is packed with plenty of geeky goodness to keep you engaged! Diving into the Kingdom Hearts universe, Joshua and Christian kick off their exploration of the franchise by discussing the often-overlooked mobile games that chronologically set the stage for the entire saga. They reflect on their own experiences with these titles, which many fans only know from cutscene compilations rather than actual gameplay. The conversation flows naturally as they express their excitement for the upcoming 25th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts, teasing about the potential twists that might arise in the next installment, especially with fan-favorite characters like Donald and Goofy possibly venturing into Hades. They cleverly weave in anecdotes about their latest geeky obsessions, like Christian's foray into classic sci-fi short stories and Joshua's comic book adventures with Godzilla. Amidst the banter, they delve into the plot mechanics of mobile games like 'Coded' and 'Union X', pointing out how they expand the lore and introduce pivotal characters that impact the overarching narrative. With a mix of nostalgia and humor, they critique the awkward transitions in gameplay, such as the rhythm game mechanics in 'Kingdom Hearts 2', and ponder the philosophical implications behind the Master of Masters and the unfolding Keyblade War. The episode is not just a recap; it's a heartfelt celebration of a beloved franchise, with laughs and insights that resonate with fans old and new.Takeaways:Joshua and Christian are on a nostalgic journey through the Kingdom Hearts series, gearing up for its 25th anniversary in 2027, and they've got plenty of thoughts to share about the mobile games that kicked things off.The mobile games, though often overlooked, carry significant lore that connects the dots between major titles in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, showcasing the intricate web of storytelling.Christian highlights the importance of character development and backstory in the mobile games, emphasizing how they enrich the narrative experience for fans of the series.The banter between Joshua and Christian adds a fun layer to the discussion, making it clear that while they are serious about their fandom, they can still poke fun at the sometimes convoluted plot of Kingdom Hearts.Listeners are reminded to check out D23 for new Kingdom Hearts announcements, suggesting that the excitement around the series is only going to grow from here.Joshua expresses his disdain for the Little Mermaid world in Kingdom Hearts 2, illustrating the passionate opinions fans have about different aspects of the game series..Be sure to check out our merch, find extra content, and become an official member of Systematic Geekology on our website:https://systematic-geekology-shop.fourthwall.com/.Check out all of our Disney episodes:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/09b1c796-b409-4cfe-bbd0-8b7a8032f846.Listen to our other gaming episodes:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/409f2d81-9857-4426-b1f0-d8a02e58b150.Listen to all of our Kingdom Hearts episodes:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/91eb2808-3652-46d5-9377-d0ff6a9cc354.Check out other episodes with Joshua:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/642da9db-496a-40f5-b212-7013d1e211e0.Listen to all of Christian's episodes:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/ebf4b064-0672-47dd-b5a3-0fff5f11b54cMentioned in this episode:Systematic GeekologyOur show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective.

You'll also learn what this movie has to do with picture books, the 95 Pride and Prejudice, and Cassie's production of The Lightning Thief; which change from the animated movie causes the most heated debate; and perhaps most importantly, how many times Cassie accidentally calls Triton "Trident."The main discussion starts at the 7:50 mark.You can find Maddie on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/atthehearthwithmaddieJoin our community!

The brand new Minions movie is out, this one titled Minions and Monsters, as the Minions conjure up a little guy named Goomi. But before the yellow Minions ever made audiences laugh with jokes about séances, magic, and the occult, Hollywood had already spent nearly a century weaving witchcraft, paganism, ghosts, sorcery, and the supernatural into family entertainment. From Disney's first animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and its spell casting queen and enchanted potions to Lonesome Ghosts, Fantasia, The Sword in the Stone, The Black Cauldron, The Little Mermaid, Moana, and now the latest Minions movie, the occult has often been presented as humorous, harmless, or even heroic. How did witchcraft and occult themes become so normalized in children's entertainment? Is it simply innocent fantasy, or has generation after generation been conditioned to laugh at, celebrate, and embrace ideas that Scripture repeatedly warns believers to avoid? We'll trace the fascinating history from the earliest days of animation to today's biggest family blockbusters, looking at the recurring themes of magic, mediums, séances, pagan gods, ghosts, spells, and supernatural power, and we'll examine how these themes have not only evolved, but why filmmakers continue returning to them, and what the Bible says about distinguishing fantasy from reality.

Eden and Peter talk about what they've been consuming lately — Peter is deep on Meshuggah's newly remastered catalog while Eden is watching way too much seasonal anime. The main event is a deep dive into Of the Devil, a stylish cyberpunk visual novel where you play a defense attorney who is also the serial killer. They also wrestle with the state of the games industry, why they're buying indie games over AAA behemoths, and why "shorter games with worse graphics" is a genuine consumer philosophy.Show NotesOf the Devil is a cyberpunk visual novel / Ace Attorney-style game where you play Morgan, a defense attorney who may be more than she first appears. Episodes  0, 1, and 2 are out now.Eden finished Long Awaited Feelings, a ~2,600-page web novel from the Feelings series — time loop, yuri romance, creatively titled author.Peter is playing Forza Horizon 4 and 5, catching up on Modern Family and cautiously warming to Community.Meshuggah released 30th and 20th anniversary remasters of Destroy Erase Improve and Catch Thirtythree — the former sounds so ahead of its time that the thin production is the only tell it came out in 1996.Haken released their first music since guitar/bass departures earlier this year — leaner, stripped-down British prog.Psycroptic dropped The Pulse of Annihilation, a tighter, leaner technical death metal follow-up to Divine Council.Protest the Hero released Within — a 30-minute tight blast of chaotic post-hardcore/prog.Science Saru's Ghost in the Shell (2026) adaptation leans into the manga's goofier, flirty tone — first episode looks like a bajillion dollars, episode three already showing budget strain (reminiscent of the Uzumaki adaptation's notorious one-episode budget collapse).Eden is also watching: Chainsmoker Cat (a gross-out comedy about addiction and poverty in Japan wrapped in a big-titty catgirl body), A Witch's Life in Mongol (historical fiction set in 12th-century Central Asia, animated by Science Saru), I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day (dark fantasy about child soldiers who can't die), and original anime Goodbye, Lara (a Little Mermaid reincarnation story by Kinema Citrus).Eden visited Newbury Comics in Providence and was devastated to find it's no longer a real comic shop — four times as many Funko Pops as comics, no back issues, and a still-priced Thundercats Valentine Special from February.East Bay Comics was the opposite problem: all back issues, none of them organized, mostly vintage junk.The conversation on indie vs AAA gaming: Peter and Eden both bought Of the Devil episodes 1 and 2 sight-unseen to support small teams, echoing their broader philosophy that consumers should put money behind the kind of games they want to see made.PowerWash Simulator 2 Star Wars DLC dropped — Eden is currently cleaning an AT-AT on Hoth.

This summer's Toy Story 5 is unique among Toy Story movies in that it's a direct continuation of the story of Toy Story 2, so we decided it was a great time to take a second look at Toy Story 2! Originally conceived as a direct-to-video sequel, Toy Story 2 opened November 19, 1999, bringing in $487 million worldwide and going on to become the 3rd-highest grossing movie of the year. The film brought back Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Don Rickles, Jim Varney, Annie Potts, Laurie Metcalf, R. Lee Ermey, Estelle Harris, from the first film, adding Joan Cusack, Kelsey Grammer, Wayne Knight, and Ariel the Little Mermaid herself, Jodi Benson as Barbie, and this time Randy Newman brought in Sarah McLachlan to help craft the most famously devastating three minutes in the whole series.

Welcome back to another unfiltered, heavy-hitting installment of The SIDEBAR PODCAST, steered this week by your lead host, Royce, alongside co-host Leise Winny. The crew kicks things off with an absolute whirlwind of a check-in, tracking the massive national shockwaves following the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham and the ongoing, secretive health mystery fueling rumors that Mitch McConnell might be next. They weigh in on global conflicts, a bizarre public health scare involving a widespread outbreak of explosive diarrhea, and the fallout from the latest Jay-Z concert. The opening conversation strikes a sharp legal chord as the hosts dissect the shifting lines between protected opinion and actionable slander across modern media and podcast platforms before addressing the latest updates in the Big Tigger drama. From there, Royce commands the room to unpack a controversial cultural shift—asking if outrage over race-swapped Hollywood casting and the hyper-fixation on figures like Caitlin Clark proves that racism has officially become the new "sex sells" for corporate algorithms. Meanwhile, Leise takes the mic to steer a vital discussion around the viral "Voice Note Guy" controversy, forcing a real, unfiltered dialogue about the true boundaries between consent and psychological coercion. Finally, the duo explores why a woman's intuition is so widely framed as a mystical gift before debating the ultimate relationship stress test: whether taking a solo travel trip is a healthy boundary for maintaining independence or an absolute dealbreaker in a serious relationship.Here is the full breakdown of topics the crew hits this week:Opening welcome: Gathering the community and locking in the weekly energy.The DC Shakeup: Reacting to the sudden death of Lindsey Graham and the wild internet speculation surrounding Mitch McConnell's prolonged hospital absence.Global and Local Chaos: Unpacking ongoing global warfare alongside a very real, stomach-churning public health alert.Jay-Z & Big Tigger: Catching up on major music events and the continuous legal updates in the radio world.Opinion vs. Slander: Where does podcast commentary end and character defamation legally begin?Racism is the New Sex Sells: How media spectrums, sports rivalries like Caitlin Clark vs. Alyssa Thomas, and boycotts are heavily monetizing racial division.Hollywood Race Swapping: A critical look at the casting decisions behind the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series, The Little Mermaid, and Helen of Troy.The Voice Note Guy Controversy: Breaking down the viral modern dating drama to analyze the psychological differences between eager consent and subtle coercion.A Woman's Intuition: Questioning why society treats female instinct as an extraordinary gift rather than standard human logic.The Relationship Solo Trip: Evaluating when solo travel crosses the line from personal autonomy into an active relationship problem.Outro & Wrap: Final reflections, a quick recap of the dense topics, and Leise's closing remarks.

Justin has one free movie pass left before the month ends and needs to use it tonight,  so Doug helps him choose between Supergirl, Disclosure Day, and Masters of the Universe. This somehow turns into a 45-minute deep dive on everything happening in Hollywood right now, and honestly, it's one of the best movie conversations they've had in a while. First: the online hate for Supergirl is examined, dissected, and found to be exactly what everyone already knows it is. Same goes for the discourse around casting in The Odyssey, the Little Mermaid live action, and Dune. The pattern is not subtle and Doug has words. Then things get genuinely interesting. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is coming and Doug is all the way in — Greek mythology, massive ensemble cast (Matt Damon, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Elliott Page), and the first narrative film ever shot entirely on IMAX cameras. The IMAX conversation goes somewhere unexpected. Spider-Man Brand New Day gets the full breakdown: the Punisher's role, what the One Last Kill special means for his arc, and why having Frank Castle in a PG-13 Spider-Man movie is either brilliant or insane depending on how you look at it. Then: Avengers Doomsday. Are Doug and Justin cautiously optimistic or quietly terrified? Both. RDJ as Doctor Doom, the Jonathan Majors pivot, what the comics actually did with colliding dimensions, and why the Magneto limited series is the template they should be following. Plus, Marvel forgot Shang-Chi exists. It has been four years. Someone needs to answer for this. Also: Jared Leto — what happened? A genuine conversation about acting as a craft, why celebrity corrupts the thing that made people good at it, and how a handcrafted maple dresser at a consignment store connects to all of it somehow. Then: Doug and Justin review Backrooms (A24). Justin gives it three stars. Doug is closer to three and a half. They agree the production design is stunning, the acting is strong, the jump scares land, and the story leaves too many character motivations unresolved. A making-of documentary is urgently needed. Also also: Million Dollar Nannies on Hulu is a show that exists. Beth found it. They did not make it past the intro. And a brief, uncomfortable look at Love Island, reality TV, and why some people unwind by watching train wrecks. Movie audio clip guessing game: Justin goes three for three on Hook, Elvis (Baz Luhrmann), and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective — including a line from Ace Ventura that lands very differently as an adult than it did at age ten. This week's recommendations: Justin — Backrooms (A24). Not perfect, but worth seeing. The environment alone justifies the ticket price. Doug — Mecha Chameleon on Steam. Six dollars. Prop hunt where you paint yourself to blend into the scenery. Alpaca wants a professional digital artist league.

She's bringing the production to select cities nationwide this year, and I'd love to set up an interview for Mandy to speak about the show and collaboration with Lin! Everything I Know is a symphonic concert experience celebrating Miranda's iconic music—from Hamilton, In the Heights, Moana, Encanto, and The Little Mermaid to rarely performed gems like 21 Chump Street and “Delivery.” As one of Miranda's earliest collaborators, Mandy brings a uniquely personal perspective and emotional depth to the material. It won't take long to understand exactly why Lin-Manuel Miranda praises Mandy Gonzalez as “...one of the greatest singers on earth.”Mandy and Lin first met in 2004 and have collaborated for over 20 years. After years of concert performances, Mandy saw growing audience demand for a full symphonic experience of his work and partnered with Lin to create this show.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Mandy Gonzalez Sings Lin-Manuel Miranda.A Broadway powerhouse known for her starring roles in Sunset Blvd, Wicked, Hamilton, and In the Heights, Mandy debuted this show at Carnegie Hall to a standing ovation and rave feedback from both audiences and Lin-Manuel Miranda himself (see attached). She's bringing the production to select cities nationwide this year, and I'd love to set up an interview for Mandy to speak about the show and collaboration with Lin! Everything I Know is a symphonic concert experience celebrating Miranda's iconic music—from Hamilton, In the Heights, Moana, Encanto, and The Little Mermaid to rarely performed gems like 21 Chump Street and “Delivery.” As one of Miranda's earliest collaborators, Mandy brings a uniquely personal perspective and emotional depth to the material. It won't take long to understand exactly why Lin-Manuel Miranda praises Mandy Gonzalez as “...one of the greatest singers on earth.”Mandy and Lin first met in 2004 and have collaborated for over 20 years. After years of concert performances, Mandy saw growing audience demand for a full symphonic experience of his work and partnered with Lin to create this show.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Think Scar from the Lion King, Jafar from Aladdin, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Miss Trunchbull from Matilda, Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the Lambs.

This week on Geekin' on Walt Disney World, I'm joined by two good friends from the Disney podcasting world — Scott and Karen from the Mickeyphile Podcast — for one of those conversations that feels like hanging out in the parks with your Disney pals. We start with a fun day we shared together at Epcot, including time relaxing in the DVC lounge above Figment, catching some live music, and getting a special early look at Soarin' Over America. And yes… there were gasps. Big ones. Scott and Karen bring a ton of Disney experience to the table. They're in the parks often, Scott is a cast member, Karen is deep into the travel planning world, and together they have that perfect mix of Disney knowledge, food opinions, cruise love, and geeky little details that make these conversations so much fun. Planning a Disney Vacation? If you're thinking about planning your next Disney vacation and some Epic Universe… My wife Margita and our good friend Auntie Judy are the Travelin' Tiaras — your trusted Disney travel planners. Whether you're booking Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Universal, or beyond, they'll help you plan a smart, stress-free vacation from start to finish. Already booked? You can transfer your reservation to us and still get expert tips, strategy, and support — and it's a great way to support the show. TravelinTiaras@gmail.com Or reach out on Facebook Messenger. In This Episode We talk about: Our spoiler-light reactions to Soarin' Over America Why the DVC lounges are such a great hidden perk Favorite current Disney experiences, including BoardWalk, Chefs de France, Citricos, and fireworks cruises Underrated gems like Tiffins, PeopleMover, Little Mermaid, and the Fort Wilderness Segway tour What cast members do behind the scenes to create unexpected magical moments Why Disney Cruise Line feels like “Disney at its best” Palo brunch, cruise fireworks, ship horns, and emotional embarkation moments Planning advice from Karen, including why flexibility matters and why choosing a resort only by price can backfire One of my favorite parts of the episode is hearing Scott talk about cast member pixie dust — those little surprise moments that can turn a guest's day completely around. We also get into what cast members appreciate from guests, and it's a really sweet reminder that kindness goes both ways in Disney World. Then the conversation shifts into Disney Cruise Line, and you can hear how much Scott and Karen love that experience. From Palo brunch to fireworks at sea to the moment your family name is announced when you board the ship, they explain why cruising with Disney hits people emotionally in a way that's hard to describe until you've done it. But the heart of the episode comes near the end. Karen shares that Disney is the place that helps her forget about everything else for a while — the place that brings her true happiness. And I think a lot of us Disney Geeks understand that feeling. It's not always about riding every ride or having the perfect plan. Sometimes it's sitting on a balcony at BoardWalk while it rains. Sometimes it's hearing the Disney Cruise Line horn. Sometimes it's walking under the Disney World sign and feeling your shoulders drop. And sometimes it's just spending time with friends who get it. Join the Geekin' Family What Disney experience keeps calling you back? Is it a resort, a restaurant, a ride, a cruise, or a simple little moment that just feels like home? Come share it with us in the Geekin' on WDW Facebook group — we'd love to hear your story.

Is Disney quietly using live-action remakes to cheat the copyright system? What if every single Disney live-action remake isn't about “reimagining classics", but a calculated, multi-billion-dollar strategy to keep Mickey, Simba, Elsa, and the entire empire under lock and key forever? In this explosive episode, we look into the theory that Disney's remake machine (The Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, etc.) is less about creativity and more about copyright protection warfare. Are these soulless cash-grabs actually a brilliant legal hack to reset the clock on beloved characters before they risk falling into the public domain? Or is it all just corporate greed disguised as nostalgia? 51 Minutes.

When Three Men and a Baby opened on 25th November 1987, few could have predicted that a low-budget remake of a French comedy, shot in Toronto, starring two television actors, a comedy star and a baby girl, would become the highest-grossing film of the year in the US and a genuine turning point in Hollywood history. Yet that is precisely what it did.The film arrived at a specific cultural inflection point. More women were entering the workforce, the feminist movement was reshaping assumptions about domestic labour, and the recession of the early eighties had nudged more fathers into caregiving roles. Against that backdrop, watching Tom Selleck's broad-shouldered leading man coo helplessly over a baby carried real comic charge, and tapped into something the culture was quietly working through: what modern fatherhood might actually look like.But the film's off-screen legacy is arguably more significant than anything on it. Disney in 1983 had nearly gone bankrupt on the catastrophic failure of The Black Cauldron. The creation of Touchstone Pictures and its low-budget, high-concept adult comedies was the rescue plan. Three Men and a Baby was its greatest proof of concept: the studio's first ever $100 million domestic grosser, crowning Disney as the number one studio in Hollywood by the end of 1987. The revenue that film and its Touchstone stablemates generated bought the animation department enough time, talent, and resources to complete The Little Mermaid two years later, and triggered the Disney Renaissance.A film about three hapless bachelors and an abandoned baby, made cheaply and quietly in Canada, may be one of the most consequential comedies Hollywood ever produced.Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?
