From Walt Disney World to Hawaii, Bryce and David have traversed the globe for this week's episode of Mouse House Weekly. First David gives us a much anticipated review of Disney's Jollywood Nights at Disney Hollywood Studios. Bryce then discusses everything Aulani as he recaps his honeymoon at Disney's Hawaiian Resort on Oahu.

They say to be careful for what you ask, because you just might get it. In “The Star Beast”, both Donna Noble and the 14th Doctor may have to learn that the hard way. With David Tennant as the 14th Doctor, Catherine Tate reprises her role as Donna Noble. And straight from the Baker era […]

This is another great episode on this roller-coaster of Fringe episodes as we near the incredible season finale! This time, we are returning to the topic of Cortexiphan subjects as we meet a new one - James Heath, and we are joined by Marianne this week as we discuss this episode so obviously inspired by the board game and film Clue! We discuss the references to Clue as well as the amazing performances in this episode, especially from Anna Torv who we all seem to agree is the MVP of this episode. We also share our enthusiasm around Sam Weiss and how happy we are to see him again, while also lamenting that his enigmatic lines in this episode about his origins are never satisfactorily explained.

In May of this year the final installment of the original Star Wars Trilogy, Return of the Jedi, turned 40 years old. We've previously taken a look at A New Hope when it turned 45 and The Empire Strikes Back when it turned 40. So it's only proper that we complete our trilogy on this beloved trilogy. We talk about our first memories, the legacy of the film, favorite moments, the use of music, special effects, and so much more!

Over the years, numerous talented actresses have provided the voices for these beloved Disney Princesses. These actresses have not only lent their voices but also contributed to the characterization and emotional depth of the Disney Princesses, making them memorable and cherished by audiences of all ages. But what do we know about the amazing women who have brought to life these beloved characters?

We are so excited to finally be talking about this phenomenal episode of Fringe - the highly anticipated episode in which we finally get the story of how and why Peter was abducted from the Redverse. When last we left our heroes, Olivia’s “glimmer” ability kicked in just before she and Peter went on their very first date, leading her to realize that Peter is originally from the Redverse. Walter pleads with Olivia to not tell him, and in this episode (which features a fun, synthy ‘80s rendition of the theme music), we are taken back to 1985 as Walter sits down with Olivia to tell her the story.

The Disney parks are arguably the most popular and successful theme parks in the world, but the question is, why? What makes these parks stand out among the others to make them so popular? In this episode, both Blake and JJ are discussing their reasoning for why they believe Disney parks stand out amongst other theme parks similar to them. They discuss cleanliness, Disney’s properties, their technology, and some more specific reasons.

Do you love fan theories as much as we do? If so, this episode is for YOU! The internet is full of fan theories about Disney films, so we decided to choose a few of them and share whether or not we think they could be true. Is Boo from Monsters, Inc. the witch from Brave? Do all the Pixar movies take place within the same universe? Did Nemo and Moana actually die near the beginning of their respective movies? Does Magara become Mother Gothel? Is Jaffar the true hero of Aladdin? We tackle these theories and MORE in this week's episode!

Many Hollywood legends spent time in The Twilight Zone, and this month we look at two of the largest legends in Hollywood history with Robert Redford and Dennis Hopper. Redford's season 3 appearance with Gladys Cooper has him portraying the role of the death angel escorting her character to the afterlife. Meanwhile, Hopper's season 4 role is one of an angry young man under the influence of Hitler, who is raising up his own all-too-familiar brand of hate. It's easy to see in these performances what will make these men legendary, and each of these stories gives us a lot of meat to chew on for discussion.

We have finally arrived where Fringe is arguably at its absolute best, a block of episodes that even the showrunners referred to as a “rollercoaster.” Olivia’s Cortexiphan ability comes back into play in this episode when she travels to the titular Jacksonville, Florida where the Cortexiphan trials took place. She must confront fear on so many levels, ultimately temporarily saving the day but making a horrifying discovery.

Bryce and David are back to talk about two recent Disney projects. Once Upon a Studio was released last week on Disney+ and premiered on The Wonderful World of Disney. This phenomenal short showcases the worlds of Disney Animation and Bryce and David discuss all the easter eggs and emotional beats of the short. During their second segment, Bryce and David discuss all the holiday happenings at the U.S. Disney Parks. The brand new Disney Jollywood Nights hosted at Disney's Hollywood Studios harkens back to the great themed nights at Disneyland in the 60s. Jollywood Nights begin November 11th at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Disney has been remaking their cinematic classics for many years now. These remakes have gained popularity in recent years and are part of Disney's strategy to capitalize on their extensive catalog. Disney remakes serve several purposes. They allow Disney to introduce classic stories to a new generation of audiences, often with updated visuals and contemporary themes. They also provide an opportunity to monetize existing intellectual property and expand the Disney brand. But the remakes have faced criticism for being overly reliant on nostalgia and not offering much that is new or innovative. But are there movies that Disney would not remake? 

Join us this week for our discussion of “The Bishop Revival” as we unpack a little bit of the Bishop family history in this very purple episode about a Nazi scientist who somehow has not aged since the 1940s and is carrying out deadly experiments to advance the Nazi agenda. It’s an episode with a fascinating fringe science behind it, and we dive into the colors that we see in this episode as well as the several lines of dialogue that are so multilayered on rewatch. We also share some truly awesome feedback from several listeners.

One of Disney fans’ favorite parts of the Halloween overhaul at Disneyland is the Nightmare Before Christmas retheme for Haunted Mansion. There have been a few other attraction rethemes, but what if there were more across the parks? In this episode, both Blake and JJ are discussing potential rethemes for different attractions across Disneyland and California Adventure, including classics such as Pirates of the Caribbean, or some newer rides such as WEB Slingers. They also discuss what Disney could also do more with in terms of their Halloween events they put on every year.
