On this week’s episode, I’m joined by Robbie Whelan, who covers the wide world of Disney for the Wall Street Journal. We talked about all the stuff Disney rolled out at D23 (Sequels! Theme park additions! New Cruise ships!) and discussed the ways in which the softness in Disney’s “Experiences” division (which includes, among other endeavors, the theme parks) may suggest general economic softness that’s hidden by the success of movies like Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!
If I missed a review by you of this, so sorry…. However, need to recommend, Disney’s “Young Woman and the Sea”… the story of Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel! It is a gift… at least to me. My Mother told me about her sooooo long ago and now my daughters know! H I S T O R Y!!! And NOW, Kamala!!!!!! Only taken 98 years and Hillary and JOE!!!!!
I’m surprised to hear there’s still interest in the market for the superhero genre. The best Marvel shows, in my opinion, were shows like Loki that weren’t really about punching the bad guys.
