On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, we're doing another QA Q&A. Andy is out and we can't do any of the shorts without him so this is what we got! But it's a good one because we got Lin-Manuel Miranda (fellow Quaid) to send in an unreleased demo of I Am Moana from the film...Moana. He's setting the record straight on the misheard lyrics. Also, for all you theater rake fans, we've got some killer talk about title sequences in films. Plus a jizz story, a correction and a sincere apology for misspelling Pee-wee last week (my bad), and a big happy birthday to Tyler!

Netflix animation is having another monster year, with Nathan Greno's body-swap comedy “Swapped” racing up the platform's all-time rankings behind “KPop Demon Hunters.” Jim Hill and Drew Taylor also examine Disney's uncertain live-action remake strategy, the return of “Hotel Transylvania” and a new theatrical Looney Tunes short. Plus, Drew shares highlights from his conversation with Greno about the making of Netflix's latest animated hit. HIGHLIGHTS • “The Odyssey” dominates the worldwide box office while Disney's live-action “Moana” suffers a steep second-weekend decline. • Disney moves ahead with “Tangled” and a possible continuation of “The Princess and the Frog” despite uneven remake results. • “Toy Story 5” approaches the billion-dollar mark as “Minions & Monsters” falls short of franchise expectations. • Sony and Amazon MGM prepare “The Haunting of Hotel Transylvania” for a theatrical release in 2027. • Disney Junior tests a YouTube-first launch strategy with the new animated preschool series “Ozzy Fox.” • Director Nathan Greno discusses the creation and unexpected streaming success of “Swapped.” • “Daffy Season” brings the Looney Tunes back to theaters with a modern spin on the classic rabbit-season-versus-duck-season routine. • Titmouse joins Meow Wolf's upcoming Los Angeles exhibition as an animation and creative-design partner.

Hour 1: In conclusion, The World Cup ruled. Congratulations, Spain. Vinnie has mild thoughts on the halftime show. How much money do the teams make for winning? Sarah thinks the game could use lions. Vinnie passed his big test! Plus, he's doing hard-hitting journalism this morning with two contradicting stories: Santa Fe is the best, but New Mexico is the worst. Hour 2: Let's catch up on TV! Sarah and Matty are loving House of the Dragon, but Bob is over it. Big Brother has kicked off. Anya Taylor Joy's new show isn't horrible. Matty is watching ‘Little House on the Prarie'… lol. Sarah got totally scammed by AI. Can you guess the most watched seasons of Netflix in the last 4 years? Speaking of Tucker, Sarah is playing matchmakers with Marci. Plus, the biggest story of last week has been solved - supposedly. Hour 3: The first ‘Avengers: Doomsday' trailer is here. Robert Downey Jr is back, but Iron Man isn't. ‘The Odyssey' had a tremendous opening weekend. ‘Moana' is disappointing after its second weekend. Sorry, The Rock. Is he joining this list of celebrities whose careers are hanging on by a thread? Messi crying is in the news. Vinnie reopens the lettuce controversy. More to come. What would you do for a Mountain Dew? Not much. America's taste in ice cream is vanilla. BTW, Vinnie is afraid of sharks. Hour 4: Evanescence is in town today! Will they ever be able to top that big hit? It's Hello Kitty night at The Valkyries. Flock of Seagulls are at the Castro Theatre. Speaking of music, Apple is raising their prices. Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo already finalized their divorce. Willy Nelson in a turtleneck? Cigarettes are cool - Sarah is quitting. World cup travelers are sharing what they liked about America. Grab a taco, it's not so bad here! Plus, the great return of How Old Is That Guy?!

We are now halfway through the year and Mike defines his Top 10 movies of 2026 so far. He shares what made these movies stand out, where you can watch them and what is left that’s coming out that has the ability to make the list. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Moana starring the Rock. It’s Disney's live-action version of the animated movie we've all known and love. Moana answers the Ocean's call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her home island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui. Mike shares why he was reluctant to see it but ultimately what this live action remake is actually a good thing! In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Nimrods which is a movie based on the early, real-life touring adventures of the punk rock band Green Day. Mike shares the mid-budget music movies it reminds him of and why we don’t get movies like this anymore. New Episodes Every Monday!

Join Lafayette and Carlos as they bring you another week of entertainment news, movie talk, television reviews, and plenty of laughs.This week, we dive into the surprising box office struggles of Disney's upcoming live-action Moana. With a cast featuring Catherine Laga'aia as Moana, Dwayne Johnson returning as Maui, John Tui, Frankie Adams, and Rena Owen, the film seemed destined for success—but audiences don't appear to be rushing to theaters. Has Disney's live-action remake formula finally run its course? We discuss why these remakes may be losing their magic.Our old friend Joey Valentine is back behind the microphone! After returning with The Joey Valentine Show, he dedicated part of his latest episode to talking about Nerds Talking. We share our thoughts, react to the discussion, and reminisce about our long history together in podcasting.Meanwhile, the proposed Paramount/Warner Bros. deal continues to hit roadblocks. Is this blockbuster merger ever going to happen, or is it destined to become another Hollywood "what if?" We break down the latest developments and explain why we don't think this deal will ever cross the finish line.We also pull back the curtain on how Nerds Talking is made. Contrary to what some listeners might think, we don't write scripts or rehearse our conversations. Every episode is completely unscripted—we simply turn on the microphones, shoot from the hip, and let the conversation go wherever our nerdy passions take us.Finally, we review the final season of The Bear, starring Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson, and Oliver Platt. Did the acclaimed series stick the landing? We discuss the emotional moments, standout performances, and whether the finale lived up to the hype.Whether you're a movie buff, TV fanatic, gaming enthusiast, or simply love great conversations about pop culture, this episode has something for everyone.

[School of Everything Else 2026] This is a commissioned show for AJ. We recorded it several months ago, but banked it until the long-awaited release of Christopher Nolan's Odyssey. It is an independent, serialised concept musical, released across nine digital EPs from December 2022 through to December 2024 by Jorge Rivera-Herrans (who also plays Odysseus, amongst others). And this took a certain portion of the Internet by storm, garnering fan projects to animate each of the songs, all of which you can find assembled here in one 2h 22m work of collaborative passion made on one iota the budget of Nolan's IMAX titan. Willow showed this to us on Christmas day and the music and handling of the many characters really stuck with us. This is the most excited I've been about a musical since Hamilton and the original Moana. Statistically, almost none of you have heard this, so we specifically crafted this show to introduce what Jorge and company achieved here and hopefully get a bunch of new people with these catchy-ass songs bouncing round their heads. This is DreamWorks' Prince of Egypt and Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas to Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods & Kings and his Robin Hood.

"Young Washington" was spectacular! Go see it as soon as possible, and no, I wasn't paid to say any of this. Bring everyone you know. No one could not love it. I was able to talk to the director of the movie and learn how important it was to them to be historically accurate. The movie also celebrates the truth that God protected George Washington and is intimately involved in the affairs of this nation.
Burnie and Ashley discuss kid logistics, Austin weather, Utah heat wave, the weird American box office, Moana flops, Spain soaring, Black Flag breaking records, Big Red vs Irn Bru, and being in Rome.

Join Drew and Jim to discuss the latest news in animation and check in on the box office of a live action adaptation that didn't do quite as well as Disney may have hoped. They also take a close look at the career of actor Sterling Holloway and how his role as a tree in a Shirley Temple film The Blue Bird led to a call from Walt Disney. NEWS • Reflections on Sam Neill and Disney Legend Don Iwerks after their passing • Disney's live action Moana underperforms at the box office • The internet is in an uproar about the upcoming Tangled because of the sets FEATURE Jim discusses the career of actor Sterling Holloway who voiced many classic characters including the Cheshire Cat and was also the original voice of Winnie the Pooh!
