New York is suing Zelle. Another IPO pop has me raising my eyebrows. Maybe Perplexity really was serious, at least about getting a browser. Does Apple want to make basically that Pixar lamp?

This week... a classic ep from It's confession time... Mikey, Pinky and Dave have things to get off their chest, secrets (or not so secrets) that they have been hiding down deep... but confession is good for the soul. It's time to talk about these things out loud so the healing can begin. And what better way to bare the soul than to do it with friends... Terrance Malick apologist, Witt Stillman fan and movie historian Dr Earl comes into talk about what is weighing on him, and Friend of the Show and Miss Independent Jeremy Burgess joins the group as well to discuss his movie confessions. The state of Pixar! Hating on The Rock! Hating on The Snape! Hating on Costner! Loving on The Cage! Becoming a Bronie! Hallmark lovin! And so much more... Movies... actors... actresses... genres... tropes... these are the things that only a few people love... or things that everyone loves that only a few hate... or that everyone knows about that hasn't been experienced... These are our confessions. Also, our first Cepheus reference, as well as Ginuine's "Pony Find the original episode listing here
A Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!

In Predator Kills the Marvel Universe, you've teased a meditative tone as much as a brutal one. Can you talk about how you approached giving emotional weight to what could easily be a pure spectacle series?2. We know Frank Castle is at a low point in Punisher: Red Band, but you've also said it's a story about who Frank becomes when he has nothing left. What's the most surprising aspect of Frank you think readers will discover in this series?3. We here at AIPT have covered the use of the Punisher symbol via 3rd party swag outside of Disney, we even saw its use in the recent Daredevil show, what's your take on the Punisher logo and its use?4. With both Red Band and Predator Kills launching this year, you're leaning into stories with serious ultraviolence. As a writer, how do you decide when violence is meaningful versus when it's gratuitous?5. You mentioned in the Predator Kills the Marvel Universe press release that some heroes are more “killable” than others. Without giving anything away, was there a particular Marvel character that was the hardest to write a death for—either logistically or emotionally?6. You've done a lot of work balancing character legacy with reinvention—especially with Hellverine and now Red Hulk. How do you decide what to preserve and what to explode when you're writing these kinds of legacy figures?7. Spider-Man and Predator is a wild matchup. Can you tease what their conflict reveals about Peter Parker that we haven't seen before?8. Both Red Hulk and Hellverine feel like "dark mirror" characters—but wildly different in tone and execution. Do you see thematic overlap between them? How do you avoid them becoming just monstrous versions of other heroes?9. You're clearly building (or helping shape) a kind of hyper-violent sublabel within Marvel between Red Band, Predator crossovers, and these monstrous anti-heroes. Would you want to keep expanding this “Percy-verse”? And if so, who would you tap next?10. (Fun one): If Predator could take on one Marvel team in a cooking competition, who would it be—and what's Predator's signature dish?Short novel as a newspaper - subscribe - start November - post-apocalyptic “The End Times” Station 11 meets our townbadhandbooks.com

Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Marie and Kate as they discuss if they would let someone else plan their Disney vacation from hotel to daily itinerary, what they think should be the next thing added or changed at Disneyland, why they believe fans aren't going to see original Disney movies in theaters, and what moment they would time travel to in Disney Park history. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: Would you trust someone else to plan your entire Disney vacation “” from hotel to daily itinerary “” without giving you any details until right before you leave? Why or why not? Question 2: What's the next thing Disney should add or change at Disneyland? Question 3: Every Disney fan I know says that they want more original stories when it comes to Disney and Pixar films rather than relying on sequels and remakes, but it seems that there is a trend of original films doing more poorly at the box office than sequels and remakes (eg Elio vs Lilo & Stitch or Inside Out 2). What do you think is keeping people out of the theater for original stories and if you were put in charge of solving this problem, what would your recommendations be? Question 4: If you could time-travel to any moment in Disney Park history, where would you go and why? Bonus Question: What keeps you from going to the parks more frequently AND what could the company do to help bridge that gap?

Surprisingly, many older adults approaching retirement feel a sense of dread – even when they have sufficient financial security and are reasonably healthy. In a project sponsored by Harvard Business School, Teresa Amabile's research team spent a decade researching retirement to understand people's attitudes toward, decisions about, and experiences of retiring. She and her colleagues, Lotte Bailyn (MIT), Marcy Crary (Bentley University), Douglas T. Hall, and Kathy Kram (both of Boston University), interviewed 120 knowledge workers in successful companies, including some who were still working, some who had retired, and some who were about to enter the retirement transition. The 14 people approaching retirement in the near term became the “Stars” of this research because they agreed to be interviewed multiple times as they finished their careers, officially retired,In this episode, you'll discover: The “work” of retiring and how to approach the necessary tasks in a way that increases the likelihood of a smooth transition into a satisfying retirement life. The major identity challenges people face in retirement, and some creative ways you can meet those challenges.

In our exploration of Disney Animation and Pixar, we seek to uncover the underlying virtues embodied by the parental figures within these beloved narratives. Throughout our discourse, we will delve into the complex depictions of parental roles, from the malevolent step-parents often portrayed as antagonists to the nurturing figures who, despite their flaws, provide significant emotional support. We will highlight the evolution of these characters over time, reflecting societal changes and the increasing recognition of the importance of nuanced portrayals in storytelling. Amid our examination, we will also celebrate the redeeming qualities found in many of these characters, ultimately affirming the enduring relevance of family bonds in animated storytelling.In this episode, the discourse centers around the intricate and often contentious portrayals of parental figures in Disney and Pixar films, particularly focusing on the prevailing themes of step-parents, deceased parents, and overbearing guardians. The speakers, Joshua Noel and Pastor Will Rose, embark on a comprehensive analysis of these archetypes, tracing their evolution from early depictions characterized by antagonism and neglect to more nuanced portrayals in contemporary narratives. This thematic exploration reveals how animated narratives not only reflect societal changes regarding family dynamics but also serve as vehicles for moral and ethical lessons for younger audiences. For instance, the episode scrutinizes the transformation of the step-parent trope, highlighting its shift from the stereotypical villainous stepmother to more supportive and complex figures, as exemplified by characters in films such as 'Big Hero 6' and 'Lilo & Stitch'. Moreover, the discussion delves into the pervasive trope of deceased parents, a hallmark of Disney storytelling that has resonated deeply with audiences. The speakers elucidate how the absence of parental figures catalyzes the protagonists' journeys towards self-discovery and resilience, drawing parallels with films like 'Bambi', 'The Lion King', and 'Coco'. These narratives not only evoke emotional responses but also foster discussions about loss, grief, and personal growth, thereby providing young viewers with a framework to navigate their own experiences of familial disruption and emotional turmoil. The episode culminates in a reflective examination of the overbearing parent trope, wherein characters like King Triton and Marlin are critiqued for their excessive control, which often undermines the autonomy necessary for their children's development. This critical analysis invites listeners to consider the balance between parental protection and the essential freedom required for growth, ultimately encouraging a deeper appreciation for the narrative complexities within these beloved animated films.Takeaways: In this episode, we explore the parental tropes prevalent within Disney and Pixar films, analyzing their impact on storytelling. The discussion emphasizes the evolution of Disney's portrayal of parents, transitioning from traditional portrayals to more nuanced narratives. We delve into the significance of step-parents, dead parents, and overbearing parents within animated films, highlighting their roles in character development. The hosts express their personal reflections on how these parental figures resonate with their own experiences and parenting philosophies. We share in harmony the catchphrase, " We love you, and there ain't nothing you can do about it.".Check out the rest of our 'Finding the Good...' series:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/37fa0c3f-55f4-4cd4-b112-ca5476583ffa.Listen to all of our Disney episodes:

Do you really need animals for something to make sense in Disney's Animal Kingdom? This week, Stephen explores that question with a proposal inspired by a Pixar movie you might have skipped. While it did not make a huge cultural splash, Elemental has more in common with Animal Kingdom than you might think, thanks to its themes of nature, balance, and environmental connection.Set in one of the park's most overlooked areas, this concept reimagines the space with color, creativity, and just the right amount of chaos. The Idiots weigh in with their thoughts, reactions, and a few puns along the way. It is the final full pitch of Season 3, and a great reminder that even the quieter corners of the Disney universe can spark big ideas.Send us a textSupport the showDon't forget to check us out on Instagram!

Send us a textWhat do you do when the meanest voice you hear is your own? For independent filmmaker and Pixar artist Masha Ellsworth, that question became the most important creative challenge of her life. After a decade of professional success, she found herself feeling stuck, fearful, and creatively paralyzed—until a message inside a fortune cookie gave her a new mission: "Silence the critic within."In this vulnerable and deeply relatable conversation, Masha takes host Lira Ndifon on her journey to understand and tame the inner bully that was holding her back. She reveals the psychological origins of the inner critic, how it can be a distorted echo of parents, teachers, and even our heroes, and why its ultimate goal is to keep us "safe" by keeping us small. This episode is a powerful exploration of how to reclaim your authentic self from the grip of self-doubt.This is a must-listen for any creative, perfectionist, or anyone who has ever felt like they weren't good enough. You will discover:The Fortune Cookie That Started It All: The simple, profound moment that sparked an entire film and a journey of self-healing.Taming Your Inner Bully: Why fighting your inner critic doesn't work, and how to build a new relationship with it through self-compassion and understanding.Practical Tools for a Quieter Mind: Masha shares the surprising, non-meditative techniques she uses to take a break from negative thought-loops—from simple puzzle games to doodling.The Inner Critic vs. The Inner Child: How nurturing your inner child's sense of play and wonder is the most powerful antidote to the critic's voice of perfectionism.This isn't just a conversation about filmmaking; it's a practical guide to making peace with the most difficult parts of yourself, so you can finally get on with the business of living a full, brave, and creative life.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

Brian forces Nate to watch two new kids movie trailers... one from Pixar, and one from China. Pixar's new movie Elio flopped harder than anything that's come before. The top-grossing animated movie this year comes from China... it's Ne Zha 2, and it's made 2.2 billion (!) dollars. The guys talk about why Ne Zha 2's trailer is better than Elio's. But it still kinda stinks: The last couple years for children's animation has been very poor. Artificial Intelligence makes you dumber, but it will soon replace this level of bad production. Find out what an AI future might look like on this episode of Stories Are Soul Food.
