This week, Candace and Catrina discuss the major park announcements from D23. They discuss the addition of Encanto to Animal Kingdom and Indiana Jones taking over Dinoland. They also discuss Villain Land at the Magic Kingdom, changes coming to EPCOT, the two new rides coming to Avengers Campus at California Adventure, and the animatronic Walt Disney show.

In honor of the 30th Anniversary of the Tower of Terror ride, we look back at the classic TV movie Tower of Terror. The film starring Steve Guttenberg and Kirsten Dunst aired on ABC on October 26, 1997, as part of The Wonderful World of Disney. It is Disney's first film based on one of its theme-park attractions.

With Bridgerton Season 3 officially behind us, Candace and Arezou are joined by Britt and Chelsea to break down the new season. They talk Polin, Kanthony, Benedict and Francesca's exciting plot developments, and speculate on what the future will bring for the series.

Trigger Warnings: Suicide/Post-Partum Depression (53:00-53:49), Infertility (55:28-56:10)

Welcome to Hot Muppets Summer! Join Candace and Bri as they explore the reasons behind the cancellation of the 2015 Muppets TV show. This video breaks down the key factors that led to the show's untimely end after just one season. They cover everything from the shift in tone and style to audience and ratings issues.

This extensive discussion and review touch upon the animated movie Wish, which commemorates Disney's 100th anniversary. Candace and Arezou share our initial excitement, expectations, and disappointment after viewing the film (multiple times). We go over the storytelling, character arcs, and music, as well as its animation style and thematic messages.

We also offer another version of the movie with the concept art of Star Boy and his romance with Asha.

Arezou is joined by Alexandra Monir, author of Realm of Wonders to talk about the third book in the Queen's Council series, and what it was like getting the call to write a Princess Jasmine book. They also talk about the use of Persian influences in the story, and blending the world of Aladdin together with 1001 Nights.
