The Falcon and The Winter Soldier , the 2nd Disney+ Original Marvel series, just wrapped up on April 23. Was this on par with WandaVision? Did it exceed expectations? What about the message? Joining us to debrief the series as a whole is our friend Mike Celestino from LaughingPlace.com and the host of Who’s the Bossk podcast. We talk about impactful moments, favorite characters and how Zemo can bust a move.

CMSWC #31: "Return to Tatooine!"

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics Issue 31 "Return To Tatooine" (October 1979) is a treasure trove of nostalgia - from famous Tatooine locations to classic creatures, Kenner toys to old friends. What a FUN classic comic!!   Richard and Sarah discuss this comic and find FTOOM! Fast Facts (classic comic people or places that appear now in Star Wars books, comics and films). There are plenty of these, especially as they relate to classic Kenner toys like the Patrol Dewback and the Imperial Troop Transporter! Also we do a REALLY dramatic reading of the Hostess/Marvel crossover Fruit Pie ad titled, ‘The Human Torch and The Icemaster Cometh’! Sarah got to be the Icemaster. She took her role seriously.

325: Jim Henshaw - the Voice of Wicket the Ewok

Jim Henshaw, voice of Wicket the Ewok ( Ewoks TV Series) and Tenderheart Bear ( The Care Bears ), joins Richard and Sarah to discuss his career not only as a voice actor, but a writer for series like Top Cops , Friday the 13th and BeastMaster . The discussion even ventures into this cancel culture we’ve been experiencing due to social media. As someone who works in the entertainment industry, Jim has a unique perspective. Who knew this discussion would get so serious??   Disney+ released both seasons of Ewoks on April 2, so we’ve been binging to our heart’s content. But do you know the history behind this series?

Be prepared to crave the famous Monte Cristo sandwich as we whirl you away to A Touch of Disney! We also cover the new Bad Batch final trailer, Kenobi casting news and Downtown Disney’s Eggstravaganza 2021.  On March 25, Richard and Sarah attended “A Touch of Disney” - a limited time ticketed experience where we could eat ourselves silly and just soak in Disney’s California Adventure. Almost all of DCA was open to walk throughs, restaurants, character interactions and Photopass picture spots. It is now sold out through it’s final day, April 19, 2021. But before we went into DCA we worked up an appetite hunting for Disney character Easter eggs around Downtown Disney as part of Eggstravaganza 2021.  Also on this episode: Disney+ Original series Star Wars: The Bad Batch released a final trailer. We discuss. Star Wars: Kenobi Disney+ Original series shared more casting announcements. Let's discuss! Join us for Pop Culture Trivia every Friday night at 6:30pm PT - livestreaming o
