During last week’s Disney first quarter earnings call, Disney CEO Bob Iger discussed curating Star Wars and Marvel by changing the pace. “We will aggressively curate our general entertainment content,” Iger said when discussing profitability and growth for Disney+. Iger came back to the subject during a Q&A portion of the call. I talked about curation and general entertainment. We have to be better at curating the Disney and the Pixar and the Marvel and…
"Disney+ To Curate Star Wars, Marvel" The Walt Disney Company released their Super Bowl Ad, “Disney100 Special Look,” commemorating 100 Years of storytelling and shared memories. Speaking for myself, prepare to get emotional! Every year, there’s always that one ad that gets the tear ducts running. I would not be surprised if the Disney100 Special Look is that ad. I mean, look at the company’s history and they have no shortage of clips to pull from in putting it together. The…

National Treasure: Edge of History concluded its first season with the thrills, mystery, and excitement that one expects from the franchise. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the spinoff series because it wouldn’t have the same magic without Nicolas Cage. The chemistry between Cage, Justin Bartha, and Diane Kruger were what drove the previous films. Jon Voight and Helen Mirren also added to the fun. What happens when you take them out of…

It was announced today that The Mandalorian will be making its broadcast debut ahead of the season premiere of the third season. Everything we know about the television broadcast premiere is below. From what I can tell, this is a one-off broadcast. Unlike other series during the first part of the pandemic, do not expect the entire series to have a linear broadcast. In celebration of Disney+ and Lucasfilm’s highly anticipated return to Mandalore, The…

The film, which covers the entire history of Abbey Road, launches December 16 on Disney+. If These Walls Could Sing is one of my favorite documentaries of the year.

Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again is the newest installment of a franchise that should have ended when Robin Williams died. I would have probably been on board with an animated film if they had the original cast. Instead, this feels much like one of those direct-video sequels where the stars walked away after the theatrical predecessor. When I saw that Nick Daley (Joshua Bassett) was going to be the lead character, I thought,…

Taking place five years before Rogue One and the Battle of Yavin, the first season of Andor changes Star Wars as we know it. Through the years, the Star Wars canon has opened up in ways that audiences could not have imagined. George Lucas certainly could not have dreamed it up even if he tried. We know that Lucas is a great world builder but it’s taken many people to expand on what Star Wars…

The updates are in for the Thanksgiving weekend box office and it’s not good news for either Strange World or Devotion. One takeaway from this weekend is that we’re still not back to the pre-pandemic numbers. This weekend’s box office is down 12% compared to last year. It’s not even close to what the numbers were in 2018. Will numbers return to normal next year or is this going to be the new normal? When…
