Happy day everyone!
I apologize for not getting something out yesterday. It's not too often I have a fourteen-hour day with no breaks from beginning to end. However, we've had some interesting developments that required attention.
One interesting development is that Black Girl Gamers had threatened legal action against That Park Plac...
2024-03-28 14:45:47 +0000 UTC View PostHow many of you heard from so-called "experts" that Disney would absolutely win their lawsuit against Florida? How many of you heard that Disney was doing the obvious, 100% correct step of fighting Florida over DEI initiatives and state-sponsored curriculum aimed at bedroom issues for small children? Well... those who told you Disney was on the ...

A games pundit backed by UK government funds and appearing on the BBC is making some very incendiary remarks. Jules Hardy is claiming that she wants to "purge the hate" from gamers who essentially disagree with Sweet Baby. That's couched in the idea that a toxic contingency of gamers just won't evolve w...

Calling Former Disney CFO Jay Rasulo out-of-touch, analog and a failure at his next business ventures has not proven highly successful for Bob Iger. The ISS institutional firm has endorsed Nelson Peltz, meaning that 1/3 of institutional investors will likely back Peltz in next week's proxy fight. That puts Peltz in line to possibly win the vote....
2024-03-25 13:32:09 +0000 UTC View PostStarting next week, we're thinking about adding a new Patreon Perk where paid members can ask me direct questions based on videos that have released. This might happen twice-a-week. Is this something you would find meaningful?
2024-03-22 20:44:50 +0000 UTC View PostAs I said in the video where Steven and I reviewed X-Men 97's debut, there is a clear effort by some to destroy Marvel. The way that you can do that is by making it be a show set in the 90s that tackles extremely divisive issues of today. You retroactively have the characters talk about issues that hadn't even been invented in the 90s, you make ...
2024-03-22 14:29:10 +0000 UTC View PostNot often someone goes to such effort to relay this for our Patreon members, but a close friend of the channel has this to say regarding what's going on behind the scenes regarding the toy industry:
The new Haslab announcement comes only 7 months after their previous project successfully funded (The Ghost spaceship from Rebels and...
According to information sent our way via a contact in the toy industry, Hasbro now fears the total loss of Star Wars as an Evergreen Product. The reception of The Acolyte with the dislike ratio is the cherry-on-the-top after Hasbro already had great fear of ANOTHER mostly female Star Wars effort.
According to the source, any additional A...

Disney Parks recently sent out a survey of cast members to have them select their favorite ride, existing or gone. But they left out the attraction which has been voted the most popular attraction in any park in the entire world.
Splash Mountain.
This gets even worse when you realize that they're using this for data collection yet ...

If they won't buy them for normal price, why let the theater sit empty? That must be what. AMC is thinking as they run a promo to get families in for Luca at just five dollars. Lucky for theaters this month... Kung Fu Panda will draw families regardless!
2024-03-20 19:59:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe Walt Disney Company has a mess on its hands, even if it's hard to see at the moment. I'd like to remind my dear friends here on the Patreon that I have consistently said that Nelson Peltz was unlikely to win the proxy battle this year. I've also said that if he stays in the fight for another year, his chances go up dramatically (and for more...

So I just watched your Acolyte video. You got it...but you missed it. The BIGGER issue, in my not-so-humble-opinion, or rather the TWO are: (A) Leslie Hedlund LIKES Villainy--she thinks people, causes, and actions we "normal" people find...
2024-03-20 03:06:52 +0000 UTC View PostThere are many out there today questioning or gloating when it comes to George Lucas and his backing of Bob Iger in the Disney proxy war. But there are a number of things which need to be taken into consideration... and in doing so, the truth might be better revealed as less sanguine for those who want a victory.
First, one might question ...

I hope everything is okay in your world this evening. I thought it would be nice to share something with you that I am working on apart from what I do on YouTube and the typical Pro persona. I am, in my private time, working with an effort to provide a new type of homeless shelter concept that might actually help pull people ...

It's like having a souvenir shop called Yoda's Sodas... and instead of it being a place where soft drinks are sold, it's just a conve...
As quickly as it seemingly started, the conflict between Geeks and Gamers and Daily Wire seems to have come to a close. Matt Walsh and Jeremy of GnG have spoken and set aside differences (for now) in order to more appropriately cover the Sweet Baby Inc debacle. But what caused the two sides to attack one another over the past few days?

If you saw the video on Gina Carano and bot armies this morning, you might be interested to know we're following a new story of the same variety. It turns out that Tiana's Bayou Adventure just might be receiving the faux excitement treatment to try to battle back against expected negative reception.

2024-03-15 15:57:20 +0000 UTC View PostDisney World is currently designed to make you feel it's crowded. A crowded park is a park where you'll pay to skip lines. So over the last decade, nearly every change has been to REDUCE capacity, reduce attractions, reduce ride length, etc. They want to in the retail spaces, walking always, buying food, hot and thirsty (no, that's not a eupemis...

One of the once well-understood principles for WDI was perspective. It's everything in creating illusion and immersing guests within it. But a key problem is facing the new wave of Imagineers.
Trees.
No, seriously.

The Walt Disney Company decided to release a counter white paper to take on Nelson Peltz. To say it isn't going well would be an understatement of gargantuan proportions. In one of the most bizarre moves I've ever seen from the company, they actually said the quite part out loud. The thing that we've been discussing on the WDW Pro Channel for mo...
