On November 15, 2021, it was announced Mickey’s Toontown would be closed until 2023 as part of an "ambitious reimagining project”. The new Toontown would include the exciting new ride Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. Additionally, the long-closed Chip and Dale's Treehouse was removed, and a new park space, CenTOONial Park, was created adjacent to Goofy's Playhouse near the land's entrance. CenTOONial is now home to a new fountain of Mickey and Minnie and a Dreaming Tree inspired by the one Walt Disney sat under as a child in Marceline, Missouri. This new and exciting Mickey’s Toontown opened on March 19th, 2023 and Rachel and Jeremiah were there to take in the new imagined themed area.

This week's show would be approved by Dom Torreto because it is all about family. A wealthy father passes away leaving his inheritance to his three triplet daughters, but not without a catch. They must learn to work together to solve a riddle revealing the passcode to the family fortune. The Hyena is hired to help one of the sisters solve the mystery but Red and Robert Vesco are also hot on the trail. 

Star Wars is a very action-packed and fantastical series, so it was about time Disney produced an anime series with stories that take place in the Star Wars universe. Blake and JJ, in light of the second volume of Star Wars: Visions coming out this year, are here to discuss the first volume of the anthology series, discussing each episode individually, and discussing the series as a whole and its quality. They’ve also ranked each individual episode, talking about each episode based off of their placement in the rankings. Blake and JJ discuss their experience and opinion on anime in the past, the art styles and their different varieties, and the stories and characters in each episode, and how memorable and well-written they are.

Cynthia Panabaker is on the campaign trail for re-election for her Virginia Senate seat, however some others have plans to take her down for her comments about her opponent. Patriotism is in the line of fire once more on this week as an ex-secret service agent looks to get revenge and save the sanctity of the nation.

Unearthed from Fringe’s first season is this bonus episode which is, well, an episode. While it is a complete standalone story and really nothing all that special, it does give us a tiny bit of insight into some of the characters’ mindsets and their beliefs, and we both agree that the acting from guest star Alice Kremelberg is really great. We share what we think some of the episode’s most memorable moments are, and we also get feedback submissions from Geoff (xforce11), Michael, Rory, and Patty from Canadia! If you would like to be part of the feedback section in the future, be sure to hit us up via one of the contact methods listed below. We would also love to have you as a co-host for a season 2 episode, so sign up to be a co-host by visiting the community portal!

Toy Story 5 is now in production, and that announcement got us thinking...which Toy Story toy is the best?  Put differently, if we found ourselves at a garage sale at Andy's house and all of the Toy Story toys were in a box, which toy would we choose? It is March madness season, so that means we had to settle this question with a bracket! Who will come out victorious? We're quite certain it's not who you think! Grab your travel buddy, fill out your own bracket via the link below, and let's find out which toy reigns supreme! (Is that a Zurg hint???)

Ahoy matey! There be sharks in these here waters, card sharks! But it isn't the sharks this week's blacklister is after. She is looking for the whales to join her largest game yet in Sydney Australia that will not only benefit her, but a special friend as well.        

Quantumania brings the Quantum Realm to the big screen to blast off Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Bryce is joined by Ben to discuss the latest film in the MCU. They look back at Phase 4 and discuss what they are looking most forward to in the future of Marvel films and tv shows. Ben and Bryce give their opinions which may or may not agree with the critics.

Season 5 of The Twilight Zone brought us two episodes handing out poetic justice to the lead characters. In "A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain," an aging businessman drinks from a fountain of youth in order to satisfy his much younger, demanding wife. His plan backfires, leaving both of them to deal with life-altering consequences. In "Sounds and Silences," a toy boat manufacturing executive forces everyone in his life to be constantly subjected to loud noises. His life is turned upside down when he develops hypersensitive hearing, and he's forced to live his life with highly compromised hearing.

It is the final season of The Blacklist and Red already looks like he has retired. Taking the train, taking naps, no security detail at all, and that is a bad thing cause Wujing and his merry band of former Blacklisters are coming for revenge.

There’s more than one of everything, and that include our hosts this week. We have not two hosts talking about the climactic first season finale but once again we have three! This time, Chris and Darrell are joined by a voice that listeners of the original run of The Fringe Podcast will definitely recognize - the one and only Clint! In Fringe’s first season finale, Olivia notices a connection between The Pattern incidents while Walter and Peter retrieve the only thing that can stop Jones from his ultimate plan.

There are so many decisions to make when planning a Disney vacation, but choosing when to go may have the most impact on your trip. Ben and Erica are tackling the best month to visit the three major U.S. Disney destinations: Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disney Cruise Line. Crowd levels, pricing, weather, offerings, and more are important factors in knowing which month makes the most sense for you and your family. Ben and Erica rarely agree on their Disney takes, but could that change on today's episode?

We all love the many fantastic characters that Disney animation has created. Characters like Elsa, Woody, Simba, Maleficent, Gaston are all fun to watch and offer something special. But would you date one? It’s an interesting question. Sure Woody is an adorable doll, but his snarky attitude may be too much to handle on a first date. Jeremiah and Rachel put the names of many of these beloved characters into a hat, then pull two and discuss which one they would rather date.

Indiana Jones Adventure is one of the most beloved Disney rides in any of the parks. A classic, memorable, and thrilling ride. However, over the years, some things have changed on the ride, and as some more changes are sure to approach with it going through some refurbishment until sometime in Spring, Blake and JJ are here in this week’s episode to discuss the state of the ride right now, and praising what they love about it, as well as some of the criticisms to some of its issues from before it going into refurbishment.

All Aboard! Last month we set sail on the Disney Dream for our first EVER cruise! Darrell is very prone to motion sickness and Kari hates traveling, so how did the trip go? We opted for a cruise instead of a visit to the parks because we wanted a relaxing vacation where we could unwind and not have to worry about going from place to place.  We've heard others talk about how great cruises are, but did it live up to the hype?
