Description

On Disney California Adventure’s 20th anniversary, Eitan and Carl chauffeur you to the park’s grand opening. This park represented the culmination of a decade of disaster for Disney’s theme parks. Nothing exemplifies DCA's early, dark days more than one garish, dark ride: Superstar Limo. Carl and Eitan use this attraction as a case study to explore the tradeoff between artistic dreams and limited budgets.

In news this week, Eitan and Carl discuss Apple’s new distribution deal with Skydance Animation and the reopening of movie theaters in NYC. They also congratulate former Imagineering boss Joe Rohde on his next adventure at Virgin Galactic, and they take a look at a recently-announced Magic Kingdom Disney+ series from sci-fi legend Ronald D. Moore.
