Disney's obsession with constant celebrations is an exhausting farce that has visitors collapsing from overload and swearing eternal vengeance. It seems like every year it's another "epic" blowout – 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th, 60th, 65th, and now 70th. It's all just a scheme to rinse your bank account dry while recycling the same tired fireworks, parades, and merch mountains until you're numb! 66 Minutes.

Your hosts, and a guest, unpack the horrifying details around the Carousel of Progress. Walt Disney's own 1964 World's Fair gem that has spun tales of technological wonder for over 60 years, is getting its first major "upgrade" in three decades. Imagineering's track record of butchering icons (remember the Splash Mountain purge or the Tiki Room's endless glitches?), the eerie concept art of Walt in his blue sweater spouting pre-recorded optimism, and whispers of even bigger changes to the finale, like slapping in AI smart homes and VR gimmicks, that could turn this nostalgic rotary theater into a dated tech demo faster than you can say "great big beautiful tomorrow." 60 Minutes.
We're exposing which iconic Disney destination has been gutted by an avalanche of intellectual property (IP) overload, obliterating the soul of its original vision. 66 Minutes.
From Marvel's superhero slump to Pixar's identity crisis and those live-action remakes that bombed harder than a villain's evil plan, is Disney's vast empire of IPs (think Star Wars, the MCU, and every fairy tale ever) trapped in a massive "show hole" sucking in billions without spitting out profits? 56 Minutes.

Are Mickey Mouse and co. panicking over their "boy trouble"? We unpack why Disney's struggling to connect with this elusive demographic, what it means for the future of blockbuster filmmaking, and whether their strategy is a genius move or a recipe for cringe-worthy flops. From superhero fatigue to TikTok trends, we're spilling the tea on how the House of Mouse is trying to win back the bros—and if they're doomed to fail. Tune in for hot takes, insider scoops, and a few laughs at Hollywood's expense! 64 Minutes.
