Have you ever noticed that many of the most iconic evil-doers in movies seem, well, pretty gay? 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. We have often regarded this as a problem to fix, a literal villainization that has hurt the queer community's public image. For this Pride episode, however, entertainment journalist and co-host of the podcast This Ends at Prom, BJ Colangelo, explains to us that there may be a more interesting way to look at it.

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?

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to imagine something bigger? In this Christy's Corner episode of Small Business Success Talk, Christy shares an unexpected lesson sparked by a morning at Walt Disney World—and a little girl experiencing pure wonder on the Little Mermaid attraction. That moment led to a much bigger question: What happens when entrepreneurs stop using their imagination? Somewhere between deadlines, payroll, marketing plans, and putting out daily fires, many business owners lose the very thing that started their journey in the first place: the ability to dream, create, and imagine what could be. From Walt Disney's vision to Thomas Edison's inventions, every innovation that has shaped our world began as an idea in someone's imagination. The same is true for your business. In this episode, Christy explores:• Why imagination is essential for business growth• How creativity impacts confidence and belief• The connection between innovation and childlike wonder• Why entrepreneurs need time to play, think, and dream• How guided reflection can unlock new possibilities• The role imagination plays in leadership, invention, and success If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in the day-to-day demands of running a business, this episode is an invitation to step back, think differently, and reconnect with the ideas that once inspired you. Because every breakthrough starts as imagination. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
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.
Hour 3 full 00:00 Welcome back to the program. Let's go to the phones and talk to Wes in Greer. How you doing, Wes? Doing good, Charlie. know, real quick, I did not catch the ad that the person was absolutely pointing out the truth of Lindsey Graham. Why did he wait so long for that ad? That ad is brilliant. That is that is everything. The only thing he left out, he should have put in there, hey folks, 00:29 You want to know who was instrumental in the Russian hoax? Lindsey Graham. That's right. Hey, you know what is so funny because I think it was John, producer John said yesterday when that ad came on, he said, where was this ad two months ago? I like, right? I mean, please. 00:50 believe that man has got to go. If smarmy had a picture beside it in the dick 00:59 You're right. It's how we forgot him walking around Disney World with the Little Mermaid bubble wand. Yeah, Tinkerbell's wand. that. Yeah. What's up, Quick story. Thank God for Pete Hexas and Trump. But I'll tell you something, Charlie. It wasn't just the schools doing this, okay? I have a very good friend of mine that went in the Army in 1990, okay? An enlisted man. He excelled. 01:28 He absolutely excelled. took the Kandahar airport the first night of the war. Okay. He took that airport, his squad. You know how vital that airport was to our operations? Okay. guy, this guy's a patriot. This guy is a smart fella. You know, he came from a bad situation, family wise. Okay. He went into army and he made something of himself and he told me, said, I want to fly helicopters. And I said, well, 01:58 Wow, you know, won't that be an uphill climb? He said, yes, it will. So he went over a period of time. He was able to, you know, pass the test, get in there. He was on track. They had him actually flying old school Vietnam style Huey. Yeah. Okay. He comes home. He's excited. He's telling me all about it. And right as he's getting towards the end of it, I say, you know, when he comes back, say, you know, how'd you do, buddy? I'm out of it. And I said, why? 02:28 He looked at me and he said, well, I'm white. No, no. He said, said the instructor told me that right now they're taking others quote unquote. Yeah. That that score well below where he was. Yeah. And unless he could get in the top 10, he would not be selected because he was white. And I swear. 02:57 on my life. That's word for word what he told me. Yeah. Well, those days have come to an end under Pete Hicks. Well, but I'm sitting there going, wait a minute. Our lives are on the line here. The army is job, as Rush Limbaugh famously said, is to blow stuff up and kill people. Yeah. And when you lose track of that, you've lost it. OK? Yeah. It's that simple. I mean, I was like. 03:25 In our army? Yep, in our army. Wes, I appreciate it, buddy. Got to run here, but thank you. Let's go to Bill and Inman. Bill, welcome. Hey, Charlie, how you doing? I'm doing good, man. What's up? 03:55 So what did you, just regular or diesel? Regular, regular gas. What did you pay for it? 04:05 Oh wow. Yeah. 04:21 Well, I do. I know absolutely he cares about Americans. He cares about Americans by protecting us from Iran getting a nuclear weapon. That's how he cares about Americans. Listen, how long have we been in this war? What, eight weeks now? Ten weeks? 04:36 This isn't like this thing is dragged on for years. We're talking about weeks, not years. So, I I think we can hang on a little bit longer, Bill, and hopefully something will be done today. President Trump was in the Situation Room all day reviewing this plan with Iran. He has put out some just absolute hard lines here. He says they got to get rid of the enriched uranium. 05:06 no nuclear weapons, they've got to allow the US to come in and remove it, they've got to, if they do have any more mines in the Strait of Hormuz, um they got to get rid of those. It's just a laundry list and there is, and here's what's going to hang people up because he mentioned some ... 1798 Fri, 29 May 2026 22:05:00 +0000 djO36XWUEOt2jBFOUdWMrOZiueH1TDWg news The Charlie James Show Podcast news Hour 3 The Charlie James Show originates from News/Talk 989 WORD, The Upstate's #1 Talk Station, weekdays 3-7pm.

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?

Ron Clements was the keynote speaker in 2025 for our Writers and Illustrators of the Future Gala.

Ron has been an animation director, screenwriter, and producer for Disney for four decades. Along with co-producer John Muster, he is the creator of Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Moana, Princess and the Frog, and one of my favorites, Pete's Dragon. In this interview, we discuss his journey to become one of the most successful animated movie producers of today and the process of creating animated movies. The story of how Robin Williams was brought on board for Aladdin was amazing!

Did you know Disney almost turned Spaceship Earth into a golden roller coaster? Join Morgan and Jake on Neverland Navigation Radio as they take a deep dive into "Project Gemini," the canceled early-2000s overhaul that would have radically changed the front half of Epcot.In this episode, we explore the wild $500 million plans to transform Future World into "Discovery Land". We're talking a massive "Time Racers" coaster gutting Spaceship Earth , a Little Mermaid ride in the Living Seas , a suspended rainforest coaster at The Land pavilion , and a brand-new Junior Autopia right in front of Test Track!Why did this massive project get scrapped right before its planned 2006 opening? We break down the turbulent Michael Eisner era , the financial disaster of Disney's California Adventure , and what few pieces of Project Gemini actually survived to become part of the Epcot we know today (like Soarin'!). Plus, we compare these abandoned plans to Epcot's most recent "World Discovery, Celebration, and Nature" transformation.Planning a Disney trip? Morgan is a free-to-you travel agent!

From singing her way into our hearts with her sister Chloe to becoming the Little Mermaid — and now leading a brand new rom com, ‘You, Me and Tuscany' which is in cinemas now— Halle Bailey is proving she's just getting started. In this chat with Josh, Halle opens up about learning to balance a thriving career with new motherhood, the strong women who shaped her, dealing with hair inequality and why she's a firm believer in speaking things into existence. She also reflects on what it meant to step into the role of Ariel — and how she rose above the wave of criticism that came with it. Of course we also talk about Halle's new movie, ‘You, Me and Tuscany' too, the white washing of rom-coms, why it shouldn't be a surprise to see two Black leads in a rom com and what made this project extra special: it was her first time ever working with a woman director. P.S If you are looking for even more Great Chat, Josh Smith's audiobook ‘Great Chat: Talk To Anyone, Make New Connections, Improve Your Relationships' is available on Spotify, free for premium subscribers.

Hour 2 brings the laughs, the gossip, and the exclusives as Gary With Da Tea breaks down explosive reports surrounding Cardi B and Offset — including leaked court documents, paternity questions, and whether reconciliation is even possible.

Things shift from messy to magical when Halle Bailey and super‑producer Will Packer join the show to talk about their new film You, Me & Tuscany, love, motherhood, and Hollywood growth, plus Halle addresses Little Mermaid sequel rumors. The hour rounds out with trademark RSMS comedy, wild storytelling, and over‑the‑top fun that reminds listeners why no morning show does entertainment quite like this one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finally, two movies hitting screens this weekend: the anime romance Chao, a Little Mermaid-adjacent story that's a little harder to explain than it sounds, and You, Me, and Tuscany, a new rom-com starring Halle Bailey that Brian is very much already on board for.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Winston lives in Air Strip One, formally London, and is unsettled. He has feelings of discontent and that cannot be tolerated. A world that is filled with double speak, Big Brother, and the perpetual state of War Winston finds himself seeking out love, freedom, and revolution in a world that is constantly watching you. A book that is filled with ideas that have become too real for 2026, 1984 shows us that we must know our past, our selves, and our minds because history is editable.

After an unexpectedly long hiatus, we are back with a new episode in which the randomizer goes all the way back to 2023, to one of the seemingly hundreds of times Disney has taken one of their beloved awe-inspiring unforgettable animated masterpieces and reimagined it as a tolerated "meh"-inspiring live-action blockbuster that costs more than the GDP of most countries and completely leaves your memory before you even find your car in the parking lot. This time, they got around to remaking the film that changed animation forever, the era-defining fairy tale classic that revitalized the company and kicked off the Disney Renaissance. So naturally, for the remake they slathered everything in exceptionally ugly CGI, hired the "My Vag" lady to imitate 70s porn music (twice!) and got an oceanload of semi-deserved free publicity by angering the worst people on the internet when they dared to cast a (gasp!) b-b-b-b-b-b-BLACK woman as the titular fish-assed protagonist.

Gay men over 40 have been watching themselves disappear from screens, from conversations, and from their own community's narrative for decades. Rich Burns got fed up and built the antidote. The Humanitas Prize-winning creator and star of "The Disappointments" turned personal professional failure, romantic wreckage, and the specific ache of gay male invisibility into a series with over 4 million views and a global audience that stretches far beyond the LGBTQ+ community. Rich and Rick go deep on why older gay men are still being erased, what it actually costs to tell the truth on screen, and why humor is not a coping mechanism but a weapon. Key Takeaways: Why gay men over 40 are still invisible in media and what one man did about itHow Rich used personal humiliation and career setbacks as creative rocket fuelThe financial reality most gay men live with that Hollywood keeps airbrushing outWhat 4 million views taught Rich about the universal power of gay male experienceWhy humor is not softening the blow but telling the whole truth About Rich Rich Burns is the writer, star and creator of the Humanitas Prize-winning digital series The Disappointments. He also created and serves as the head writer for the Netflix original series Mermaid Magic which debuted August 2024 at #1 on Netflix Kids, with a second season coming.

The story of Alexander von Zemlinsky's The Mermaid begins with a passionate love affair and ends in heartbreak of the most unabashedly big-R Romantic kind. In 1900, the young, fabulously talented, and famously beautiful Alma Schindler came to Zemlinsky's home to study composition. Wildly passionate feelings soon developed between them, and Alma wrote the following in her diary: "I would gladly be pregnant for him, gladly bear his children. His blood and mine, commingled: my beauty with his intellect. I would gladly serve him in his professional life, live for him and his kith and kin, breathe [for him], attend to his every happiness, serve him with a gentle hand. God give me the strength and the willpower to do so." The relationship lasted a little over a year, until one night when Schindler attended a party that happened to be frequented by a brilliant conductor and composer twenty years her senior: Gustav Mahler. The rest is history. Zemlinsky was devastated and poured his energies into a tone poem based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. The source may seem surprising, but as we'll see later on, it proved to be the perfect vehicle for Zemlinsky to exorcise the tortured memories of this turbulent relationship. For a long time, however, the score was lost. It wasn't until the 1980s that the full work was reconstructed, and it has since become one of Zemlinsky's most frequently performed pieces. And it's not hard to see why. The Mermaid is a forty-minute tone poem that, from start to finish, overflows with fin-de-siècle romanticism, very much in the vein of Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night). It is a work of irresistible beauty and passion, and it is being played more and more as Zemlinsky's name begins to take its rightful place in the standard canon of composers. Today on the show, I'll tell you a bit more about Zemlinsky in case you're not familiar with him, read more of the unbearably passionate letters and diary entries from both Zemlinsky and Alma Schindler, and, of course, walk you through the heartbreakingly beautiful music of The Mermaid, showing how Zemlinsky balances narrative and abstract form, and how he created this opulent, lush, and profoundly moving score.
