It's a rather special one this time, as the Disnerds are joined by TWO - count'em - TWO guests! We are joined by both Tanya AND Kiva, and a lovely time's had by all. There's actually even a surprising amount of Disney talk in this episode, along with Don Bluth, Dreamworks, and...Kid 'n Play's House Party??

Sorry for the delay...in fact, this episode is so late, it's almost time to record the next one! But we hope you'll enjoy this one, for now - Mike dives into the discussion over changes at Epcot, and an even newer, perhaps more surprising shift at Hollywood Studios. After saying some goodbyes and imagining what we might soon say hello to, Mike picks up on a sentiment that surely everyone agrees on - "The history of Walt Disney World belongs to EVERYONE." - pontificates, expands, and takes it to its natural conclusion, as it pertains to what we try to do as an intersectional, critical Disney fan podcast.

For now, we welcome Emily's boyfriend Pete (an awesome creator in his own right), to share laughs and opinions - first on the menu is the pretty damn epic Guardians of the Galaxy, which is apparently winning over the hearts, minds and wallets of pretty much everybody! We move on to more sombre news, remembering with immense fondness the genius of Robin Williams, celebrating his life and career by listing films we really need to see again. There's a bit of tangential discussion about how childhood favourites change and evolve - especially when adapted into massive blockbuster movies - a little of a Muppet rant, a little semi-political PSA, and then we head out!

]]>Anybody? No? Okay.
Anyway, yes, this is Part 2 of episode 42, and we think it stands up pretty well to Part 1! First, Mike and Emily discuss the recently-unveiled (and adorable) teaser trailer for Disney/Marvel's Big Hero 6, then Clare and Lou return, to round off the MouseMeets discussion with all of the fun of day 2. Mike and Emily return, for a little bit of editorial discussion that's a lot more interesting than that might sound, and then it's time for a slightly long outro that reminds us all to Be Proud!
We really hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it - let us know what you think, on Facebook (75 Likes...can we get 100?), Twitter, by reviewing us (go on...) on iTunes, or by emailing us at disnerds@gmail.com - and, as always, enjoy!
