Chegamos ao fim de 2025 com a sensação de que o cinema passou por um ano de ajustes decisivos. Entre retomadas, reavaliações e mudanças de rota, a indústria audiovisual parece ter entendido que repetir fórmulas já não garante o mesmo impacto. Este episódio propõe uma retrospectiva de um ano marcado menos por euforia e mais por reposicionamento: artístico, industrial e cultural.Ao longo da conversa, Rafael Arinelli, Edu Sacer e Claudio Gabriel, analisam como, após a recuperação iniciada em 2024, o cinema mundial passou a investir com mais cuidado em produções regionais, autorais e de nicho. O mercado global voltou a crescer, com aumento expressivo de público impulsionado sobretudo pela América Latina e pela Ásia. No Brasil, 2025 foi simbólico: pela primeira vez desde 2019, o cinema nacional ultrapassou a marca de 25 milhões de ingressos vendidos, mostrando diversidade estética e força em gêneros como terror, animação e filmes híbridos entre apelo popular e experimentação.Na no papo de retrospectiva também houve debate sobre o evidente desgaste dos grandes blockbusters, especialmente dos filmes de heróis. Títulos aguardados como Superman, Capitão América e Thunderbolts ficaram abaixo das expectativas, reforçando a percepção de saturação desse modelo. Em contraste, o topo das bilheterias foi ocupado por apostas mais seguras, como animações, remakes como Lilo & Stitch, Zootopia e o fenômeno chinês Ne Zha 2.Falamos ainda sobre o excesso de lançamentos nos streamings, a sensação de efemeridade do catálogo e como isso tem tornado o público — inclusive nós — mais seletivo na ida ao cinema. Para fechar, comentamos o Oscar de 2025, a histórica vitória brasileira em Melhor Filme Internacional e compartilhamos listas pessoais de destaques, surpresas e decepções do ano.Um episódio essencial de retrospectiva para entender o que 2025 revelou — e escondeu — sobre o presente e o futuro do cinema.• 03m49: Pauta Principal• 1h20m43: Plano Detalhe• 1h34m45: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Flavia Sanches• Gabriela Pastori Marino• Guilherme S.

How The MERRY Rule Can Prevent Social Burnout During The Holidays: Feeling booked, broke, and burnt out this holiday season? Same. This episode dives into the MERRY Rule, a five-step check-in designed to help you avoid festive burnout. From protecting your bank account and social battery to making space for rest and doing what you actually want to do, we unpack how Money, Energy, Return, Recovery, and You can guide better holiday decisions—without turning you into the Grinch.  Get These Work Things Done This Week to Unplug Over the Holidays: Consider this your end-of-year work reset. We're talking about what to get done now so future-you can enjoy the holidays guilt-free: closing out major projects, organizing your digital life, refreshing your resume, and celebrating everything you accomplished this year. Less chaos, more peace.  What's Trending: From festive concerts to fanfiction becoming real life, this episode is all over the place—in the best way. We're diving into iHeartRadio Jingle Ball happening tonight, the new Girl Scout cookie drop, Zootopia 2's character Gary, and the bizarre rise in blue pit viper sales (yes, the very dangerous snake). Add in BART delays caused by a car crash and Olivia Rodrigo living out a One Direction fanfic moment, and you've got a classic chaotic catch-up.  Second Date Update: Tyler met Brooke on Hinge and thought their dinner date in the city was magic. They shared great laughs, real spark, and genuine connection. But after a quick hug goodbye, she disappeared. What happened?  TSA's Guide To Which Holiday Gifts Won't Make It Through Security: If you've ever had to unwrap a present at the TSA checkpoint, this one's for you. We're talking about TSA's holiday travel tips, including why gift bags beat wrapping paper, which electronics need extra screening, and why eggnog and snow globes might not make the cut. Save yourself the hassle and travel smarter this season.  Good News: From heartbreak to hope. We talk about Tangi, a dog abandoned in a taped-up box outside a Pennsylvania shelter, the compassion shown by shelter workers, and the moment her story turned into a happy ending with adoption.

December 10, 2025 marked our final live show of the year, and it was a packed one. From park construction updates and major Disney milestones to box office records and streaming news, the conversation highlighted just how much Disney packed into 2025. Monsters, Inc. Funday Football Returns We kicked things off with Monsters, Inc. Funday Football, which continues to blend sports and storytelling in a way only Disney can. The crossover remains a fan favorite and adds another layer of fun to ESPN's football coverage. Construction Updates at Magic Kingdom Over at Magic Kingdom, construction walls remain in place as work continues across several areas. Most notably, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad scaffolding has come down, signaling visible progress as the attraction moves closer to its planned spring reopening. Each update brings the park one step closer to a refreshed Frontierland experience. Santa Returns to Swan and Dolphin Santa is once again set to vacation at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, continuing a popular holiday tradition at the resort. Seasonal décor, special appearances, and festive surprises make it a favorite stop for guests during the Christmas season. Walt Disney World Steam Trains Turn 100 This week also marked a major milestone as the Walt Disney World steam trains turned 100 years old. These historic locomotives remain a beloved part of Magic Kingdom, offering both transportation and a living piece of Disney history. Festival of the Arts Details Revealed New details were shared for EPCOT's upcoming Festival of the Arts, including the return of Brush with the Masters. The fan-favorite living art experience once again brings classic paintings to life, adding creativity and charm to the festival. Zootopia 2 Crosses $1 Billion At the box office, Zootopia 2 officially crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide. The milestone confirms the film as one of Disney Animation's biggest successes and reinforces the franchise's lasting appeal. Blockbusters Return to Theaters in 2026 Disney also announced that Star Wars: A New Hope and Avengers: Endgame will return to theaters in 2026. The re-releases give fans a chance to experience these films on the big screen once again. Streaming & Media Highlights On Disney+, Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 officially arrived, expanding the growing franchise. Over on Apple TV+, Fraggle Rock welcomed its first snowfall in a new holiday special, adding to the seasonal streaming lineup. Meanwhile, Hallmark confirmed it is producing a holiday movie set at Walt Disney World as part of its 2026 lineup. Bluey Hits the Road Family audiences have even more to celebrate as Bluey's live stage show begins touring across the United States. The popular series continues to grow beyond the screen, reaching fans nationwide. Popcorn Buckets & Muppet Magnets No year-end show would be complete without collectibles. New popcorn buckets continue to appear, including a SpongeBob-themed bucket generating buzz. And of course, the collection has grown to nearly 70 Muppet Magnets, closing out 2025 on a familiar and fun note. A Holiday Goodbye As we wrap up an incredible year, we want to say thank you to everyone who tuned in, commented, and shared the show. Sam and Greg will be taking a holiday break and will return live on January 7, 2026. Until then, we wish you and your family a happy holiday season and a magical start to the new year. Watch the Replay You can catch the replay of our December 10 episode now. Join us live every Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. Eastern for This Week at Walt Disney World when we return on January 7, 2026.

Drew Taylor and Jim Hill kick off this week's show with a genuinely wild media landscape where holiday releases, awards season, and corporate maneuvering are all colliding at once. From a brewing battle over Warner Bros. Discovery to Disney's latest tech-flavored swing, the first half is a rapid tour through what's breaking (and what might be breaking next). Then Jim takes the wheel solo for a longer, history-packed trip over the rainbow, tracing how animation veterans, studio deals, and a certain pair of feuding cartoon animals keep finding their way back to Oz. NEWS • Netflix and Paramount Skydance are reportedly lining up competing bids for Warner Bros. Discovery, with the situation edging into hostile takeover territory • Disney signs a three-year OpenAI licensing and investment deal, reportedly tied to short-form character content and platform experimentation • Zootopia 2 clears the $1 billion worldwide mark, adding to a renewed “WDAS is back” narrative after recent holiday stumbles • The trailer drops for Andy Serkis' Animal Farm, with Seth Rogen voicing Napoleon and Angel Studios handling distribution • A quick remembrance of animator Tony Benedict, whose career path traced the industry's mid-century churn from Disney to TV animation FEATURE • Why Chuck Jones left Termite Terrace, briefly detoured to Disney, then later set up shop at MGM • How Disney's MGM licensing deal and the later Turner-Time Warner corporate shuffle complicated who “owned” what in the Oz rights maze • The surprisingly effective mash-up of MGM legacies in Tom & Jerry and the Wizard of Oz (and why it was successful enough to inspire a return trip) • A lightning round of other animated Oz side-quests, including costly misfires and international oddities HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Drew Taylor - IG: @drewtailored | X: @DrewTailored | Website: drewtaylor.work FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.

Power outages are rolling across Colorado's Front Range (thanks, Xcel Energy), and Connery is deeply concerned about the real victims: local strip clubs. Meanwhile, Zootopia 2 has accidentally inspired chaos in China, as a character named Gary leads young people to start buying venomous pit vipers. Aussie DeHuff weighs in on whether a deadly snake makes a good holiday gift (spoiler: probably not). Merriam-Webster crowns its Word of 2025 as “slop,” a not-so-subtle jab at the flood of AI-generated garbage taking over the internet — including, potentially, this sentence. Colin Cowherd of FOX Sports shows unexpected love to Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos, and Broncos Wire breaks down exactly how Denver can win the AFC West and snag the #1 seed this weekend. And finally, a reminder for humanity: wear clothes when you work out at a public gym. We shouldn't have to say it, but here we are. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We got more controversy y'all...but we gotta let it slide this week because it was Arsene's birthday

We're wishing stoners young and old out there a joyous Season's Greetings with our BONKERS HOLIDAZE SPECIAL. Philena still hasn't seen WICKED: FOR GOOD but we got more than enough witches and weirdness for her with THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ from 1910, a silent wonder which condenses Dorothy's entire journey into just 13 baffling minutes! What this early (but not first) version of THE WIZARD OF OZ lacks in coherence, it more than makes up for with stoniness. Glinda turns Toto into a strange dog-beast, and the flying monkeys are replaced with a bat-winged frog nightmare! We not only tell you what to smoke with this one but also what to put on your playlist while you enjoy the confusion. THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ is public domain so it's streaming on YouTube, Archive and even TikTok! And speaking of barely coherent, our main feature is SANTA CLAUS, a brain-melting oddity from Mexico in 1959 where Santa Claus and Merlin must stop a pantaloons-clad Devil from wrecking Christmas. If you put this fantasia on at your family holiday gathering instead of LOVE ACTUALLY or whatever the normies watch this time of year, grandma will feel like she's stoned even if she doesn't have a medical marijuana prescription. This psychiatric experiment was directed by René Cardona, who later gave us such gruesome classics as NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES (1969) and the cannibalism epic SURVIVE! (1976). Another public domain gem, so it's streaming everywhere but the print that's on Tubi is the best. We suggest watching with a crowd, but if the male loneliness epidemic has you down, here's the MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 episode that Cory watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTWs3zvz1z4 We also talk about the Netflix merger with Warner Bros (but recorded it before the Ellisons got involved), the short-lived CASABLANCA TV series from the 80s, Greg watching BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS (1980) on his new mammoth 4K TV and ZOOTOPIA 2. Happy New Year's everybody and see you back in February 2026!

DM Dilemma's: You gave them a car. They keep asking for rides. Now what? We debate whether gifting something big automatically signs you up for more than you intended.  Getting Vulnerable: It started with an unflattering photo of Marcus—and turned into a conversation about vulnerability. This episode is all about embracing imperfections, laughing at ourselves, and inviting listeners to join us by sharing their own unflattering photos. Bad angles welcome.  What's Trending: The Powerball jackpot is out of control, Zootopia 2 is dominating the box office (again), and Oreo clearly woke up and chose chaos with eight new flavors. We're also freaking out over Mariah Carey performing at the 2026 Olympics opening ceremony, celebrating National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day, and unfortunately explaining how Marcus got caught lacking in a photo we posted online. Some episodes just write themselves.  Second Date Update: After a wine bar date in Palo Alto, Grant felt optimistic. Olivia was stylish, engaged, and genuinely curious about his life. The conversation flowed from travel to pets to stand-up comedy, and everything about the night felt solid. Grant assumed he'd see her again—until he didn't.  How The MERRY Rule Can Prevent Social Burnout During The Holidays: Feeling booked, broke, and burnt out this holiday season? Same. This episode dives into the MERRY Rule, a five-step check-in designed to help you avoid festive burnout. From protecting your bank account and social battery to making space for rest and doing what you actually want to do, we unpack how Money, Energy, Return, Recovery, and You can guide better holiday decisions—without turning you into the Grinch.  Good News: A tiny home made a huge difference. In this episode, we talk about a Missouri-based program that helped a U.S. Navy veteran regain custody of his two-year-old daughter after years of recovery and instability. Once he received stable housing through a veteran-focused nonprofit, everything changed—from reunification with his daughter to building a new career and a supportive community. This is a story about second chances and the impact of safe, permanent housing.

Marvel fans may need to head to the theater sooner than expected. New reports suggest Avengers: Doomsday could be dropping FOUR different trailers, each focusing on a different character — and none of them releasing online. We break down the reported trailer descriptions, what makes this strategy so unusual for Marvel Studios, and whether this signals something bigger for the MCU heading into Doomsday. Also on today's show, we discuss major headlines across entertainment and pop culture. WWE legend John Cena has officially retired from wrestling following a submission loss, potentially closing the book on one of the most iconic careers in sports entertainment history. We reflect on Cena's legacy and what this means for WWE moving forward. The film world also mourns the loss of filmmaker Rob Reiner, who has passed away at age 78, leaving behind an incredible legacy of classic films. Plus, Zootopia 2 continues its box office dominance, becoming the highest-grossing movie of 2025 so far. We also dive into Andy Muschietti's renewed interest in creating an "IT" supercut, combining both films into one definitive experience, and discuss new comments suggesting Star Wars may need a creative shake-up to move the franchise forward. All that and more on today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show. SPONSORS: AURA FRAMES: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/KRISTIAN.

Zootopia Better Zoogether opened at Disney's Animal Kingdom in November 2025. Featuring characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios' films Zootopia and Zootopia 2, the attraction invites guests to attend the Zoogether Day celebrations at a watch party happening at the Tree of Life. This show replaced the former "It's Tough to be a Bug" 4D show at the Tree of Life theater. It was designed by Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney Animation Studios, and it features original character voice actors Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman reprising their roles as Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. In this episode, we discuss what you can expect from Zootopia Better Zoogether and share an interview with Walt Disney Imagineer Danny Handke and Walt Disney Animation Studios Chief Creative Officer Jared Bush, both of which were recorded at a media event at Walt Disney World.
