308: The Good, The Bad, The Mandalorian Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

This episode is a smorgasbord of comments and thoughts from you and us about The Mandalorian S2E1: The Marshal. Din (F105 Music) joins us as we give our thoughts, go over Easter Eggs and debate if Dank Farrick is the new "I have Spoken!" We recorded this episode live, so we have several Skywalkers weighing in with their thoughts, as well as great comments from our Facebook Group discussion. And yes there are plenty of spoilers ahead!

The last several episodes lead up to Halloween because we wanted it to feel special this year, virtually. So we discuss our Halloween 2020, and also premiere a brand new video: Virtual Trick Or Treat 2020! Several Skywalkers shared creative ways of trick-or-treating, and Richard Woloski compiled them in a spectacular celebration of this Halloween tradition:

307: The Halloween Holiday Special Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

It's a Halloween Holiday Special!! Will we be doing most of this in Wookiee grunts and growls? No. Will there be a 7-minute erotic interlude from Diahnn Carrol? Most likely not! Will we be singing about a day of peace and a day of harmony? Nope! But we will be going over some of the most compelling Halloween questions from our childhoods and beyond. We recorded this episode live on Facebook and YouTube, which means we have plenty of your responses as well! So let's find out those deep, compelling Halloween mysteries like:

Favorite Monster Cereal?
Candy you eat vs. Candy you toss?
What is the horror film that's kept you awake most nights?
What's your #1 Halloween tradition?
What are you doing this year to make Halloween special?

On this episode, we also announce the Skywalker of the Month! Composer and bandleader Rob Dehlinger composes these amazing jingles. Make sure to check out what he's doing next by following Alpha Rhythm Kings.

306: Catching Up With Rusty Miller Oct 22, 2020

Show notes

Do you remember The Jedi Master's Quizbook (1982), by Rusty Miller? At 11 years old, this boy penned a New York Times Bestseller! Rusty, who now goes by Matt, will take us back 38 years and tell us how an 11-year-old had the foresight to publish this book, the envy of all Star Wars-loving kids.

Our good friend Chris Alexander just had a book birthday! Star Wars Origami 2 is now available for sale, and we speak with Chris about his 20-year journey to get both Star Wars Origami and Star Wars Origami 2 published. And yes, George Lucas was involved!

The Mandalorian Special Look Teaser Trailer is here! So of course we share our thoughts and opinions, as well as those of you Skywalkers who watched our live wrap-around recording.

03: Beetlejuice and Kissy-Face! Oct 19, 2020

Show notes

In honor of Halloween, Max and Kevin discuss Max's work on the 1988 Tim Burton film, Beetlejuice. So many in-depth behind the scenes stories about the numerous practical effects that went into the making of this film. Stories you won't hear anywhere else!

Questions are answered such as, when Adam and Barbara ran outside and were attacked by those giant sandworms, what planet was that supposed to be? What cast member from the original Night of the Living Dead makes a cameo? ...And who is this Kissy-face?

Show notes

Welcome to the Neverland Clubhouse! Here you leave today, and venture into adventure, excitement and nostalgia. This is the Disney podcast where two sisters, Kelly and Courtney, take you to different park lands to share Disney adventures, stories, news and so much more.

First the sisters whisk you off to Fantasyland to introduce themselves to all of you! They answer important questions like, Which Disney villain would you be and why? On a bad day, who is more like a princess and who is more like pouty Tinker Bell? What do you disagree on?

Then it's off to Adventureland to share a visit to the Disney Exhibit at the Bowers Museum in Anaheim, CA. Inside the Walt Disney Archives: 50 years of Preserving the Magic contains memorabilia, movie props, costumes, ride vehicles & over 400 more pieces that tell the story of the Archives, The Walt Disney Company and Walt himself.

Kelly and Courtney welcome Richard and Sarah Woloski (Skywalking Through Neverland) to the show as all 4 discuss their experience at the world premiere of the Disney+ Original Series, The Right Stuff at the Disney+ Drive-In Festival on 10/5. The sisters were among the first to hear about this new series, because they attended a panel and photo op at 2019's D23 Expo.

Tomorrowland = Disney News! Here are the topics discussed:

Disneyland prolonged closure leads to 28,000 layoffs.
PIXAR's Soul will release directly to streaming on Disney+. Look for it on December 25, 2020.

304: The Scariest Disney Attractions Oct 08, 2020

Show notes

We bring HalloweenTime to You!

It's HalloweenTime! We can't go to the Disney Parks to celebrate, so we'll bring the season to you. This week we'll share the truly chilling Haunted mazes found at Hong Kong Disneyland. They took the horror mazes found at Knotts Scary Farm and Universal Horror Nights and Disneyfied them. It makes us deeply jealous that we don't have these in the US.

We also talk about our favorite scary Disney attractions, and reminisce about a certain terrifying dragon in her lair underneath a castle…

Things We Talked About:

Sarah is donating AND selling face masks! For all the details, click here.

303: Live from the Space Stage - A HALYX Story! Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

In the summer of '81, Disneyland featured a band that mashed up KISS and Star Wars that sang about "Jailbait"! It was called HALYX, formed by Disney Record execs to play at the Space Stage in Tomorrowland and hopefully capture a bone fide record deal. On this episode, we speak with Matthew Serrano, the director of the documentary, Live From the Space Stage: A Halyx Story. You can watch the documentary on YouTube.

This fascinating piece of Disney history lives on in the DeFunctland YouTube Channel. Matthew also directed the mini documentary, Remain Seated Please about two guys and their passion for boldly going where no guest had gone before - backstage of the EPCOT attraction Horizons.
