Bob Iger was supposed to be the CEO of the Walt Disney Company until the end of his contract, December of 2026. Thus his replacer would be announced in the first half of this year, apprentice under Iger and then the transition of power would occur so that the new head...
There has been much talk about how Disney is seeing its summer bookings "go up" even as Epic Universe gets ready to open. From my vantage point, I don't always pay attention to what companies like TWDC say publicly with carefully worded phrases. Instead, I'm more...
Tatiana Maslany just can’t seem to let She-Hulk: Attorney at Law go. In a new interview with Newsweek, Maslany praised the show’s writers for “predicting toxic fan responses” and weaving that backlash into the series itself. One might normally stop short of praising the writers of a show that failed as spectacularly as She-Hulk given that they objectively failed in their one and only goal, but Maslany loves to blame “toxic fans” for the fact that she’s no longer a super hero.
The Dark Tower is a sprawling, genre-blending epic that follows Roland Deschain, the last gunslinger, on his quest to reach the mysterious Dark Tower—a structure said to be the linchpin of all existence. Stephen King mixed elements of fantasy, horror and Westerns into the series. Among all his works, The Dark Tower stands out as one of his most ambitious. Many consider it his magnum opus.
The internet is buzzing once again over Pedro Pascal, but this time, it’s not because he’s promoting some radical ideology or starring in just about every project Hollywood announces. No, this time it’s all about an Instagram story featuring Pascal and his longtime...
Investors and movie industry buffs might want to reconsider listening to "reported budgets" coming out of the trades in regards to Disney films. A new article from Caroline Reid at Forbes has shattered the narrative on what Disney is spending behind-the-scenes. When...
For decades, Walt Disney Imagineering was the gold standard of theme park innovation, balancing timeless storytelling with technological breakthroughs to create immersive, unforgettable attractions. But in recent years, Imagineering has been consumed by progressive ideology, turning classic rides into sanitized, politically correct shells of their former selves.
Walt Disney World has long been a place of nostalgia, where memories are made that will last a lifetime, where generations have enjoyed the classic attractions that make up its rich history. But Disney’s latest announcements at SXSW 2025 confirm what many fans have feared—some of the most beloved elements of Disney World like Rivers of America and MuppetVision 3D are being erased to make way for new, modern IP-driven experiences.
The latest Disneyland After Dark event, 90s Nite, was supposed to be a nostalgic celebration of one of the most beloved decades in pop culture. Instead, it became yet another example of Disney’s ongoing struggles with communication, organization, and guest satisfaction at these premium-priced after-hours events.
It’s finally here. The long-dead, much-maligned Powerpuff Girls CW series Powerpuff has surfaced in the form of a leaked trailer, and it’s somehow even worse than expected. This ill-fated live-action adaptation of The Powerpuff Girls has been an industry punchline for years, but now we can all witness just how misguided the project truly was. If you thought the idea of a gritty, angst-ridden take on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup was bad in theory, it’s so much worse when you see how it looks in action.
Once a celebrated hallmark of cinematic excellence, the Oscars have deteriorated into a diminished version of their former glory—a transformation accelerated by the implementation of diversity and inclusion standards in 2024.
Although the 2025 Oscars were tepid in their TDS, issues from the era of DEI still remained a strong force in the background. A requirement for diversity across a broad spectrum of creative and technical rubrics meant that many movies and documentaries that Americans loved were simply “unfit” for Hollywood’s biggest night. Americans, of course, give the ultimate award with money and viewership.
There’s a great hullaballoo going on about the Disney news that park admission prices may implement a “new” “Surge Pricing” formula designed to follow crowd patterns, making the cost of tickets go UP when demand is high (and, the implication—ONLY an implication with ZERO actual statement of this) and, go DOWN when demand is slack.
