Episode Description

Len Testa and Jim Hill return with a Disney Dish full of hard-hitting questions like: is a popcorn bucket a collectible, a food container, or proof of life’s absurdity? Along the way, they tackle Disney’s latest surveys, new overlays, and a franchise that almost stalled out before becoming a billion-dollar juggernaut.

  • Disney sets the closing date for Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom and spruces up Carousel of Progress with a new Walt Disney animatronic

  • Tron Lightcycle Run trades neon blue for Nine Inch Nails red in a Tron: Ares overlay

  • Disneyland Paris ticket pricing hints at when World of Frozen may open in 2026

  • Universal ponders the true meaning of souvenir popcorn buckets, from Aristotle to social media influencers

  • Jim explains how Pixar’s Cars almost didn’t get made — and how Radiator Springs ended up saving Disney California Adventure

From castle cake flashbacks to Schrödinger’s popcorn, this episode mixes history, news, and a little bit of existential dread — all with the usual Testa-Hill banter.
