Harmonious at Epcot Review: We Lost Illuminations for This?
Featured Image Courtesy: Disney Parks Let me give a fair warning before we go into this article. I'm going to eviscerate the new show, Harmonious. I don't often do that in a review, but this is a failure at a gargantuan scale for Disney Parks. It's like showing up for...

Marcia Lucas Slams Modern Star Wars Before Kathleen Kennedy Contract Extension
Kathleen Kennedy is, perhaps, receiving a contract extension at Lucasfilm. You've heard about that, right? It's supposed to be in October, but usually these things are announced far prior. So far that hasn't happened, although my sources and my reporting has been it's...

There's been plenty of speculation that Phoebe Waller-Bridge is taking over the mantle of Indiana Jones. It's something that the Overlord DVD YouTube channel has been covering for months, before anyone else. But what should we make of the rumors and the idea that...
Jessica Rabbit Targeted by WDI Story Matters Group
