We're doing another quarterly Disney news rewind this week, looking at all the announcements and happenings coming out of the Mouse House over the last few months. From Disneyland's 70th to ride updates to new cruise ships, Mickey has been busy!----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

Disney's live-action Snow White has officially hit theaters… but the numbers aren't exactly what the Mouse House was hoping for. Kristian Harloff and John Rocha are breaking it all down on today's show! Did the online controversy and social media backlash play a role in Snow White falling short of expectations? Was the movie's reception doomed from the start, or was it a case of audiences just not connecting with another remake? The guys discuss the latest reports showing Snow White pulling in just $43 million domestically and $44.3 million internationally, landing the film at an $87.3 million global total—far under the $65M domestic target. We'll talk about Deadline's comparison to Dumbo, the CinemaScore, and the film's polarizing reactions. Plus, did Rachel Zegler's casting really hurt or help in certain markets? And what about those claims that the film overperformed in conservative counties despite the “Snow Woke” criticism? But that's not all! Kristian and Rocha also cover:

(airdate: 2.14.25) Meryl Streep and Martin Short ARE an item, and have been secretly (sort of) for over a year. Between Only Murders In The Building and they each being single the two have become "adorable together." NBC is bringing a new comedy together a la 30 Rock and featuring a bunch of 30 Rock folk, including Tracy Morgan as the star. Daniel Radcliffe joins the cast. Disney's live action Snow White is getting nothing but criticism from the press, and the Mouse House has forgone with a lavish premiere.

Animator, director, and voice artist Stephen Anderson has held a variety of roles with The Walt Disney Company for more than two decades. Perhaps he is best known as co-director of 2011's Winnie the Pooh and 2007's Meet the Robinsons, including as the voice of the eccentric Bowler Hat Guy.

Welcome back to Constellation, the podcast that reminds you that there's so much in life to be grateful for! This week, Lockmort gets the conversation started with a discussion about the seemingly never ending glut of Disney remakes that we' ve all grown accustomed to over the past decade. As the controversial 'Snow White' live-action movie now looms on the horizon, we are once again reminded of the Mouse House's tendency to recreate their older franchises instead of inventing brand new characters and stories. Do we think it stinks? Next, the Dagster wants to speak with the gang about good ol' fashioned chivalry and what these ancient codes of conduct mean to us now in our modern world. Is helping old ladies across the street and holding doors for our fellow man still relevant today, and how has chivalry evolved since the days of old-timey gentlemen and virtuous knights? Last, Matty leads the crew in their reflections of 2024. As we prepare to close out another year, how do we look back on the last 12 months, and what are we looking forward to most in 2025? Also, we know "It's a Wonderful Life" was directed by Frank Capra not Billy Wilder, we were just testing you. Know it all.

Send us a textNo matter what your feelings are on Disney, there's no denying it: the Mouse House is a complete entertainment juggernaut. Movies, TV, video games…you name it, they do it, and well. But there's one aspect of their entertainment empire that — despite being absolutely amazing — often gets overlooked. And that's the music. Disney films have been responsible for some of the catchiest, ear-wormiest, toe-tappin'est tunes in cinema history. And even a couple of grizzled, cynical old-timers like Saint and Jim have to admit as much. From the bouncy “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo” to the calypso-flavored “Kiss the Girl” to more modern classics like “Let it Go,” Disney ditties slap just as hard as any Billboard chart-topper. So in this episode, the boys break down some of the biggest bangers of Disneydom.

New CG half-hour special "Mickey and the Very Many Christmases", from writers Tom Rogers and Rachel Ruderman ("The Chicken Squad"), puts a Mouse House holiday spin on a classic comedy movie. It premieres this Sunday Dec. 1 at 7pm on Disney Jr. and begins streaming Monday Dec. 2 on Disney+.

Jazz has gone some pretty wacky places - Russia, South America, the White House - but believe it or not, sometimes it even invades that princess-industrial complex we know and love as the Disney corporation.  Listen and learn as Mike leads us deep into this heart of darkness and we see how a rainbow of different jazz artists come to terms with the musical productions of that most profit-driven rodent of them all.  Various Artists – JAZZ LOVES DISNEY; Various Artists – EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A CAT; Dave Brubeck – DAVE DIGS DISNEY; Duke Ellington – PLAYS WITH THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SCORE MARRY POPPINS: Kat Edmonson – DREAMERS DO.

Disney...a name that can stir emotions, excite the senses, and bring memories flooding back from anyones childhood. Walter Elias Disney was a man from humble beginnings who, through his love for animation, storytelling, and sheer determination, created an entertainment empire that spans the globe. Mickey Mouse is one of the most recognizable symbols in the modern world. "I'm going to Disneyland" is what every Super Bowl MVP shouts after winning the game. And today the Mouse House has become more than Walt could have ever dreamed. But how did this whole thing start? How did Mickey come about? How did Walt and his team of animators revolutionize animation and the movie making industry forever. Tune in and find out.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton open Monday's show after the long weekend with their favorite co-host Molly Brown. Matt fesses up about why car issues kept him from calling at from Sand Valley at the end of last Wednesday's show, and Primetime tests out some patented verbal hotkeys??? Jim and Matt also get *tactical*, talking about their pit viper sunglasses and dad crocs, respectively. Molly also gets into some of her own car problems, explaining why she's sworn off eating food in her car after finding rat droppings on the floorboards... Jim and Matt try to get themselves out of the "mouse house", asking fans for their best & worst mouse stories, and Primetime asks where do parents waives the white flag when trying to protect their families from animals (in the woods and at home).

It's an animal-themed episode for better or for WAY worse. Sarah reports on a new dinosaur fossil discovered in silica, which preserved its strange, patchy feathers and scaly skin, but made her wonder why the devil he had teeny tiny arms (that make the t-rex's seem like Shaq's), so she's got a theory. We have a mystery in Colorado involving a bunch of women's shoes, a fence, and a lake, and Susie thinks there was an avant garde photoshoot, but Sarah thinks there is a serial killer on the loose. We hope Susie is right. We learn why scientists were wrong about the origins of puppy dog eyes. But the real memorable moment of this episode came when Sarah had to confront one of her worst fears live on the air.

Old time radio fans will recognize some of their favorite performers' voices popping up in classic Disney films, and today we'll hear three of those stars in radio mysteries. Before she was Cruella de Vil in One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Betty Lou Gerson was a faded movie star who plans to marry into money in "The Girl Next Door" from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on August 20, 1947). And years before he menaced Peter Pan as Captain Hook, Hans Conried played Sam Spade's client - a butler whose employers have a house full of secrets - in "The Bouncing Betty Caper" (an AFRS rebroadcast from December 12, 1948). Finally, you can still hear Paul Frees as the "Ghost Host" of the Haunted Mansion, and we'll also enjoy his performance as an eccentric poet in "The Cloak of Kamehameha" from The Adventures of Philip Marlowe (originally aired on CBS on April 23, 1949).

In the wake of the meteoric success of Star Wars (and several decades before owning the franchise) Disney tried their hand at big budget space adventure with The Black Hole. But despite boasting impressive special effects and a promising premise, the movie's dark tone, haunted house shenanigans and muddled science left audiences drifting in a void of indifference. Join Troy and Sebastian as they grapple with questionable physics, proverb pontificating robots and the far out ending to one of the Mouse House's wildest late 70s misfires.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Friday, September 8th, 2023. Armored Republic The Mission of Armored Republic is to Honor Christ by equipping Free Men with Tools of Liberty necessary to preserve God-given rights. In the Armored Republic there is no King but Christ. We are Free Craftsmen. Body Armor is a Tool of Liberty. We create Tools of Liberty. Free men must remain ever vigilant against tyranny wherever it appears. God has given us the tools of liberty needed to defend the rights He bestowed to us. Armored Republic is honored to offer you those Tools. Visit them, at ar500armor.com https://dailycaller.com/2023/09/07/health-insurance-costs-increase-decade/ Health Insurance Costs Projected To Have Highest Increase In Over a Decade Employer health insurance costs are expected to increase significantly in 2024, affecting both workers and businesses as hospital operating costs rise, according to data reported by The Wall Street Journal. Next year, the costs for health insurance coverage from employers are expected to increase by around 6.5%, which could be the biggest increase in more than a decade, according to survey data acquired by the WSJ. Driving the increase in health insurance costs are inflated labor costs for hospitals and a large demand for expensive new diabetes and obesity drugs, which are being passed down to insurance companies in new contracts with the hospitals. Individuals who do not receive insurance from their employer but rather through the Affordable Care Act will see their premium costs rise by about 6% next year, which is comparable to the increase this year, according to the WSJ. https://twitter.com/i/status/1696593061545906458 - Play Video Well at least Joe Biden feels your pain. Workers are likely to pay more out of pocket as employers shift some of the cost of inflation down to employees, according to the WSJ. Despite the shift, a tight labor market may push employers to shoulder a bigger share as hiring and retaining workers remain competitive. Unemployment ticked up in August but remained relatively low at 3.8%, up from 3.5% in July. The U.S. added 187,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in a sign of a slowing job market. In August, the Biden administration released a list of ten drugs that Medicare will negotiate prices with drug manufacturers over in an effort to reduce costs. The negotiations are set to begin later in 2023 but will not go into effect until 2026, with companies being threatened with up to a 95% tax if they do not cooperate. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/09/06/uk-you-may-soon-go-to-jail-if-you-dont-upgrade-your-energy-efficiency-n576157#google_vignette UK: you may soon go to jail if you don't upgrade your energy efficiency It is hardly an exaggeration to say that the Industrial Revolution began in the UK. It was the mastery of energy–replacing muscle power with fossil fuels that fundamentally transformed everything. We still describe an engine’s output as “horsepower” for a reason: for most of human history the fastest anything could travel was the speed of a horse. Unless, of course, you were falling off a cliff. Then you could go faster, but the ride was short. The UK–which is still led by the Tories only because Labour is even worse–is looking to undo the Industrial Revolution. In a ridiculous bid to save Gaia from an imagined threat, the government is proposing to create new criminal laws that would imprison and fine people for not complying with new energy efficiency standards. Soon they will make excessive energy use–and that will be energy use that rises above “Net Zero”–could be a criminal offense. No, I am not kidding. Property owners who fail to comply with new energy efficiency rules could face prison under government plans that have sparked a backlash from Tory MPs. Ministers want to grant themselves powers to create new criminal offences and increase civil penalties as part of efforts to hit net zero targets. Under the proposals, people who fall foul of regulations to reduce their energy consumption could face up to a year in prison and fines of up to £15,000. Tory backbenchers are set to rebel against the plans, which they fear would lead to the criminalisation of homeowners, landlords and businesses. The proposals are contained in the Government’s controversial Energy Bill, which is set to come before the Commons for the first time when MPs return from their summer break on Tuesday. It provides for “the creation of criminal offences” where there is “non-compliance with a requirement imposed by or under energy performance regulations”. People could also be prosecuted for “provision of false information” about energy efficiency or the “obstruction of… an enforcement authority”. Checking in on the Hollywood Strike… https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2023/09/06/report-striking-hollywood-workers-facing-evictions-some-living-in-their-cars/ Striking Hollywood Workers Facing Evictions, Some Living in Their Cars As the dual Hollywood strikes drag on with no end in sight, writers and actors are increasingly finding themselves in dire financial straits, with a growing number of striking workers reportedly facing evictions as they can no longer afford to pay rent. In certain cases, some have resorted to living in their cars. Several charitable organizations that have been supporting striking Hollywood workers with grants said they are seeing housing difficulties impact actors and writers as well as blue-collar crew members, according to an account from The Hollywood Reporter. Thousands of crew members ranging from lighting personnel to makeup artists have been forced into long-term unemployment due to the strikes. For many non-celebrity actors, the strikes have been financially ruinous. “The strike has had a massive impact on my housing situation. I worked one day in May, and since then all the work has stopped,” actor David Baach told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve almost depleted my entire savings, and I haven’t been able to pay my rent the last few months. My building manager and property owners extended me a grace period due to the good social credit I had built up by doing some gardening and landscaping in our building’s common area. However, in early August, I received an eviction notice from the building’s management company taped to my front door.” Leaders of two Hollywood charities — the Entertainment Community Fund and the Motion Picture & Television Fund — told the magazine that people are losing their homes due to the strikes. “People are becoming unhoused, they’re being evicted from their apartments and they’re not paying their mortgages so eventually they will lose their homes as well. We’re talking to people who are living in their cars, in some cases with their families,” MPTF president and CEO Bob Beitcher reportedly said. The MPTF is giving away $1,500 grants to striking workers but the amount doesn’t come close to covering monthly rent in a city as expensive as Los Angeles and its surroundings. The actors’ and writers’ strikes against Hollywood studios show no signs of ending as the warring sides continue to dig in their heels on key negotiating points regarding streaming compensation and A.I. has brought TV and movie production to a virtual halt around the country, putting thousands of people out of work and damaging local economies coast to coast. https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/sound-of-freedom-number-1-latin-america/ ‘Sound of Freedom’ Nabs No. 1 Slot in 18 Latin American Countries “Sound of Freedom” isn’t done quite yet. The summer’s indie sensation finally fell out of the top 10 box office results after earning north of $180 million at the U.S. box office. Those numbers are staggering and would be the summer’s biggest story if not for a certain one-two punch dubbed “Barbenheimer.” “Freedom,” which follows a Homeland Security agent (Jim Caviezel) tracking down a little girl abducted by sex traffickers, is now a global sensation. The film scored 18 number-one slots across Latin America over the weekend, according to Angel Studios. Mexico Guatemala Honduras El Salvador Nicaragua Costa Rica Panama Colombia Venezuela Ecuador Peru Bolivia Belize Paraguay Chile Uruguay Argentina Dominican Republic The film also performed respectively in other nations during its opening weekend: #1 in New Zealand #2 in Australia #2 in South Africa #4 in the United Kingdom Disney infamously acquired the film during its 2019 takeover of 20th Century Fox but didn’t know what to do with the property. So the Mouse House shelved it for five years before Angel Studios bought the rights to the film and released it independently. The mainstream media savaged the film in cruel and unprofessional ways. Reporters attacked Caviezel for his political views and suggested the film addressed an issue that’s based on conspiracy theory more than fact. The most absurd line of attack? Some outlets used one of the 6,000+ people who crowdfunded the movie’s marketing efforts against the project. The person in question is tied up in a child custody dispute framed as “child abduction.” The film’s global revenue is still dramatically lower than its domestic haul. So far, “Freedom” has earned more than $2 million outside the U.S.
