• When Star Wars Lost the Plot… and Galaxy's Edge Paid the Price - MOW #612
    Jan 21 2026
    Star Wars movies are stuck in development limbo, Lucasfilm leadership is shifting, and now Galaxy's Edge is abandoning its strict timeline rules. In this episode, we connect the dots between creative uncertainty, leadership changes, and why Disney is rethinking how Star Wars works in the parks. Was Galaxy's Edge ever truly immersive—or is this the franchise finally admitting flexibility matters more than canon? Civil discussions encouraged.

  • Disney Cast Member Heroics - MOW #610
    Jan 7 2026
    Yes, we know. Usually, we present stories of bad behavior in the parks. However, in light of the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular story in which a Disney Cast Member prevented the boulder from hitting the audience, we wanted to hear more stories of good behavior in the parks, specifically stories about Cast Member heroics. What are your thoughts on this? Are there other stories of Disney Cast Member heroics that you would like to tell? Civil discussions encouraged.

  • The DC-Universal Deal - MOW #608
    Dec 24 2025
    Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly in talks to license its biggest DC icons—including Batman and Superman—to Universal Studios. In essence, Warner Bros. Discovery is looking for revenue, Universal wants more blockbuster IP for its parks, and this negotiation could significantly reshuffle the theme park landscape, potentially bringing DC to Universal and freeing up Marvel for Disney. What are your thoughts on this deal? Civil discussions encouraged.

  • Disney, AI, and Who Owns the Future of Magic? - MOW #607
    Dec 17 2025

    In this episode, we discuss Disney and artificial intelligence. In early December 2025, Disney made a deal with OpenAI and simultaneously sued Google over Artificial Intelligence. At first, it sounds contradictory. But once you understand Disney's goals, it's actually very on-brand. We break it down in plain language, explore why people are anxious about AI, and look at the arguments on both sides. What are your thoughts on our discussion? Civil discussions encouraged.
