Some links and notes related to this week’s show:

We’re guessing that when Robert Kraft told us Finding Kraftland would be at the Anaheim NFFC conference, he was talking about one of the events listed here (but they don’t have the specifics listed).
Rumor has it that Superstar is now available on Google Video. Will the wonders of the interweb never cease?
Tank Riot podcasts on Gilligans Island and Walt Disney are totally worth listening to.

TDC #102: Updates to Toy Story Midway Mania

Jennifer — Wed, 05 May 2010 00:00:10 +0000

Toy Story Midway Mania has some changes coming, and we’re cranky! Can’t we just have a working Yeti instead? The Watchamacallit joins us, and all three of us have something to say.

Oh, and that John Waters Netflix page we mentioned? Jennifer was so amused she went and got a screen shot.

Click on it this to see more detail: John Waters in The Wiggles: Go Bananas!

And My Neighbor Totoro? Yeah, seriously, if you haven’t seen it you need to go buy it now, through Jennifer’s Amazon store so she gets a little kickback.

Plus, Jennifer puts in a plug at the end of the show for her electronica duo Coelho Bravo, who will be performing songs by gay icons June 5 in the Boston area, as part of and event called the Pride Cover Up. Check out their Facebook page to hear some original electronic pop music! And if you like it, please become a “Facebook fan,” which is kinda like being a real fan but without all that troublesome business of having to travel all over the country in a van to attend every single concert. (Oh, wait, we weren’t all Deadheads, now were we? Never mind, but please become a fan anyway, okay?)

TDC #100: Critical Discourse Among the Disney Digerati

Jennifer — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 00:00:52 +0000

If you think there's anything less than "Wow" to say about this attraction, does it make you a traitor?

Oh my. This topic might just break the internet. Lisa and Jennifer invite George Taylor and Jeff Pepper on the show to discuss critical discourse among the Disney Digerati.

TDC #99: Finding Kraftland

Jennifer — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 00:00:52 +0000

Yes, it’s kinda tough to find, but we assure you that it’s worth the effort to get your hands on a copy of Finding Kraftland, a documentary about kitch fans Richard and Nicky Kraft, narrated by Stacy J. Aswad, the popular and ever-perky host of such Disney Resort TV shows as the Top Seven.

And no, we haven’t forgotten the old-school Kryssa!

And yeah, this one’s marked explicit, but can be a handy teaching tool for helping the next generation understand what NOT to explore on the Internet. In other words, don’t play it in the car when you’re taking the kids to school!

On the show, we promised you pictures from Mike Fess’ wedding! So here they are:

And seriously, if you’re ever in Maui and have any inclination whatsoever to enjoy a spa service, you simply must check out the Grand Wailea. Jennifer swears they have never pressured her to buy product, ever. And the lanai is to die for.

TDC #94: Re-imagineering Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

Jennifer — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:05:08 +0000

If Disney re-imagineered Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, what bands would we like to see featured? We don’t come up with anything Disney would approve of, but we have fun talking about it!

Best quote: “I want to be the Nancy Spungen of Disney,” says Lisa.

Jennifer can’t resist a shameless plug for her now-defunct band, The Amazing Poundcakes, whose music she snuck into the background here and there. The Watchamacallit wants you to read ROFLRAZZI. And we all hope you’ll post ideas here about bands you’d like to post here in the comments.
