Disney's Hollywood Studios is just a "junk drawer" of mismatched IPs like Star Wars, Toy Story, and Monsters Inc., according to Disney fans. 42% of the "pixie dusters" on Disney Food Blog seem to be turning on Disney, and it'll only get worse once Epic Universe opens. Disney's Hollywood Studios is a "junk drawer" of mismatched IPs like Star Wars, Toy Story, and Monsters Inc., with 42% of Disney Food Blog readers believing Disney is quietly ruining the park. The Star Wars area in Hollywood Studios is described as ugly and boring, with a hodgepodge of elements that don't fit together cohesively. Current Disney CEO Bob Iger is criticized for not being creative, chasing out creatives, and prioritizing his own celebrity status and profit over Walt's Vision. Disney's over-reliance on acquisitions, especially Star Wars, is causing their parks to become unrecognizable, losing their identity and culture. Epcot is being particularly ruined by the addition of IP-based attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy, which critics argue doesn't belong in the park's original concept. Disney's focus on building more cruise ships (13 by 2030) is seen as a distraction from failing parks, with smaller ships introduced to charge more for less. Disney's decision to repurpose existing parks and attractions instead of building new, well-planned ones like Epic Universe is viewed as a major mistake. The removal of the Backlot Tour and Sound Stage in Hollywood Studios years ago has left the park with attractions that don't fit together cohesively.

We chat about the passing of the iconic dancer Cat Glover and her work with Prince on Sign O' the Times and Lovesexy and welcome special guest Michael Dean from Podcast Juice who extensively interviewed her twice. Then we share 7 tracks of new funk music artists that we feel should be added to your playlist. NOTE: There is an 8 minute tribute video for Cat that has been removed from the audio version here due to the highly visual component. To view the video tribute, visit Funkatopia's Facebook, Youtube or Twitter page for the live video.

Host Jorden Guth is expecting another child with his wife. Producer Dennis Burger has a few written reviews to catch up on for the SoundStage! Network. As a result, we decided it is a good time to take a quick break before we resume season 3 in a couple of weeks. But we're not going to leave you hanging with nothing to listen to. Jorden Guth went through our archives and thought this was a good change to revisit the 12th episode from season 2: "Anthony Grimani on Speakers, Rooms, Acoustics." If you have not listened to it, we think you will enjoy it. If you have listened to it, you might want to listen again because there is a good change you will pick up on something that you didn't pick up on before. Enjoy!

This week, host Jorden Guth is joined by the loudspeaker legend himself, Dr. Floyd Toole, whose research at Canada's National Research Council (NRC), followed by his tenure at Harman International, resulted in arguably more improvements to the fidelity of audio we hear at home than anything attributable to any one person. In this first of our two-part discussion, Dr. Toole discusses his path from university to the NRC and right up to the onset of the Athena project, where we'll pick up in the second part.

As announced in this episode, MOPARTY 2024 is officially on the calendar! Join is there Sept 13-15 and get registered at https://moparty.com. See you there! ======================================== Forever Young K&F Movie Summary from Episode 145: This is a full review of the 1992 Mel Gibson movie, Forever Young. This is the one where Mel is a test pilot in 1939, gets cryogenically frozen for a year to avoid the pain watching his girlfriend die in a hospital slowly, and then waked up over 50 years later to find out he was abandoned by everyone he knew and loved. Only he wasn't.....and if you love history, romance, flying, and Chargers you'll absolutely love this movie. The audio alone is with your time. Yes....we believe the last "Sound Stage" General Lee is the car in this movie, and yes, that's the primary reason we reviewed it. However, this movie gets a Perfect 10 from ALL OF US for just being a great, fun, enjoyable story to watch and enjoy! OK....with that said, the deep dive on the Chargers in this film is somewhat exhaustive and definitely sickening. We can absolutely say FOR SURE that there were two Generals used in the movie, as documented in the episode. Remember, Warner Brothers kept the "Sound-Stage" car as well as one Hero car.  The Sound Stage car was a '68 Charger faked to look like a '69 (grille and taillight changes), and the Hero car was a '69. We feel pretty certain that the '68 was used for the bulk of the movie....except for two interior scenes. Remember these words: DOME LIGHT.  ======================================== See you soon.

Coming to America for their first tour is a big step for Royel Otis, and even bigger since all of their shows are sold out! I talked to the boys in the DC101 Soundstage about what they like so far about America, festivals that they're looking forward to playing, keeping it just between the two of them when it comes to making music and how quick the cover of "Murder On The Dancefloor" actually came together!

The conversation covers Halloween Horror Nights 1999, also known as Halloween Horror Nights 9 Last Gasp. The event featured a mummy theme and a backstory centered around the antagonist Imhotep. The ticket prices were relatively affordable, with options for Florida residents and vacation packages. The commercial for the event was a compilation of prior years' scares. The event had one scare zone called Midway of the Bazaar, which captured the carnival atmosphere. There were also two experiences: Club Cadaver in Monsters Cafe and Soundstage 54, which showcased mummy props and replicas. The Deadly Delusions show featured illusions and magic tricks. In this part of the conversation, the hosts discuss various attractions and mazes from Halloween Horror Nights in 1999. They cover topics such as potential shows at the Animal Actors stage, the Trick or Treats show at Mel's Driving stage, the Festival of the Dead Parade, Bill and Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure, Universal's Creature Features in 3D, and Doomsday. The conversation covers the houses Blood Moon Dark Offerings meets Descendants of Destruction, Insanity in Fairvale Sanitarium, Psycho through the mind of Norman Bates, and The Mummy in the Earthquake queue. The hosts discuss their thoughts on each house and the scares they provided. They also touch on the concept of fear and the impact of real-life events on Halloween Horror Nights houses. Overall, the hosts express their excitement for the event and their desire to see certain houses return.
