  • Wonderful!

    I’m about halfway through the current episode on Disneyland at 70 and I’m gonna be sorry to see it end. It is absolutely wonderful. A great job with all the interview interviews and the VINTAGE clips. Thank you very much.

  • Not what it once was

    Nothing stays the same. When Mousetalgia came to an end, I knew I would miss my weekly podcast fix. Initially, I was happy to see it resurrected. Unfortunately, the original hosts are absent. The lone hold over is Jeff Baham. Jeff is a nice guy but the show is so much weaker with just him as a host. He’s not very articulate and states the same thing over and over again. He’s also so concerned with offending anyone that he drones on and on. A good example is the recent Father’s Day episode where ... more

  • Bias

    First, BEST Disney Podcast ever and should be binged from the first episode. With that said… since Covid and the start of Disney+.. Jeff is extremely bias with Avengers and Star Wars. It’s just gotten hard to listen to someone dislike a lot of great movies Disney has released over the years, which he is right when he says Onward is no Toy Story, but that doesn’t mean everyone dislikes a movie. It gets annoying how Avengers and SW can do no wrong when they’re both so super-over-saturated. I just ... more
