Header image via Disney When discussing the Walt Disney Studios live action presentation at the 2015 D23 Expo, I described it as “something of a mess.” Well, if that’s true than the Disney Parks & Resorts presentation held a mere two-and-a-half hours later was more or less a garbage fire. As I alluded to when … Continue reading D23: The Unmitigated Disaster of the Disney Parks & Resorts Presentation
The Walt Disney Studios live action panel at the 2015 D23 Expo was something of a mess.

A few weeks ago I attended Star Wars Celebration … Continue reading Podcast: Discussing STAR WARS Celebration (and More) with Castle to Castle
After the first season of Star Wars Rebels ended by blowing up the series’ status quo I’ve been looking forward to the next season with equal parts excitement and trepidation.

Note: This review contains SPOILERS We’re one episode away from the Star Wars Rebels first season finale, and before we (presumably) send the season out with a bang we have to take care of a little bit of house keeping.
