405: Disney100 Celebration at Disneyland Feb 02, 2023

Show notes

On January 27th, Disneyland hosted the kick-off celebration for the Walt Disney Company's 100th Anniversary!! New statues & decor, Nighttime Spectaculars, food, merchandise, and a NEW attraction (for Disneyland) debuted and we were there to celebrate. To share in the excitement, Mike Celestino from Laughingplace.com and Who's the Bossk podcast is back to share his experience from the special Press Event held that week. We start our discussion with Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway - the perfect new attraction for Toon Town. Then we touch on some of the surprising missteps and typos present on Disney100 signage. What?!! Have a listen and tell us what you think about all the new, shiny things!

We round out our show with a tribute to Cindy Williams. 2023 hit another low last Wednesday, January 25th, when we lost another big piece of Richard's childhood when Cindy Williams passed away at the age of 75. Her biggest claim to fame was playing Shirley Feeney in Laverne and Shirley, A revolutionary show at the time which ran from 1976-1983, where 2 females lead the cast. Let's reminisce…

402: The Bad Batch Season 2 Review & Press Roundtable - Dee Bradley Baker, Michelle Ang, Brad Rau & Jennifer Corbett Jan 04, 2023

Show notes

2023 started off with a bang on Disney+ with Season 2 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch! Tricia Barr (Fangirls Going Rogue / FanGIRL Blog) and BJ Priester (FanGIRL Blog) join us to review the premiere episodes "Spoils of War" and "Ruins of War".

We were also part of a Star Wars fan site roundtable hosted by Disney and Lucasfilm, which shed fantastic and relevant insight into The Bad Batch from the showrunners Brad Rau (executive producer) and Jennifer Corbett (head writer, executive producer), along with the voice of Omega, Michelle Ang, and the voice of The Bad Batch, Dee Bradley Baker. What kinds of storytelling can we look forward to in Season 2? How does Dee keep all the Clone voices straight in a recording session? How do Michelle and Dee connect during recording sessions? What can we expect from Kevin Kiner and The Bad Batch soundtrack this season?

To hear all three roundtables in their entirety, head to Fangirls Going Rogue, where Tricia and Sarah shared them along with more insight into The Bad Batch:

Thanks to our fellow Star Wars fan podcasters for a great roundtable: Jedi News, Fangirls Going Rogue, Father Son Galaxy, Full of Sith, Skytalkers, Tarkin's Top Shelf, and Fantha Tracks.
