Ep 273. The One with Collecting Disney DVDs

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!

In the 273rd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave will be back together next week, but this week, Dave starts solo with a little Disney CD collection update... 

Then updates on the Christmas party tickets... the Perch opening at the Grand Floridian... Military rates for Disney World released... Toy Story 5's new trailer... 

And then, a chat with podcaster and broadcaster and physical media collector Garrison Ryfun about collecting DVDs, Blu-Rays, and the like - we chat about why physical media has had such a recent rise in popularity, in collecting Disney movies (and why you want to!) and getting some of the big Disney movie sets.

It's a little niche this week, and a little techie, but we do get to nerd out a bit and hopefully you'll be inspired to start your own collection

Ep 216. The One with RDJ & the Fantastic Four

 LISTEN TO THE SHOW!!

In the 216th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave catch up on all the latest in the MCU, with a Fantastic conversation with podcasting guru Steve Glosson, the podfather of the Geek Out Loud pod'verse.

The trio chat about Dave finally finishing his Lego Star Wars project, with Jenn settling back after a summer of travel.

Then, straight into the MCU, with some backstory into Disney buying Fox... the Fantastic Four being brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe... what are the "Secret Wars"... how they may or may not be bringing Robert Downey Jr back into the fold... how Wolverine might fit into this... and the problems with the "multi-verse" concept.

Plus, more Jenn takes on Iron Man as we dive a little further into the "Jenn-C-U"

Ep 190. The One with Disney-fied Star Wars

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!!

In the 190th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave borrow a concept from one of our favorite shows - Living with the Landspeeder, where a Disney Attraction is turned into a Star Wars Attraction... "Star Warsifying" it. 

This time, we reverse the concept and "Disneyfy" the three Star Wars attractions in WDW - Smuggler's Run, Rise of the Resistance, and the O.G., Star Tours. And what better way to retheme a ride than to invite on the guys who did it better - Catron, Chris, Ryan, and Derek Frank, hosts of
the IAmGeek show and Living with the Landspeeder.

Six new attractions are presented, two for each of the existing Star Wars rides, with ideas from Atlantis to Aladdin to Toy Story... plus Coco gets a ride (finally), we talk more about The Black Hole than any show in recent memory, and even Walt appears at the end of an attraction.

Ep 174. The One with Musical Geeks

LISTEN TO THE SHOW!!! 

In the 174th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are in the midst of fall travels! In real life, Dave has just returned from Vancouver, while Jenn (and part time host #KylaKylaKyla) has just arrived in London, England for a 10 day adventure!

BUT... today's ep was recorded recently, and invites in Friends of the Show THE Derek Frank (Living with the Landspeeder) and the IAmGeek Guys - Ryan, Catron (also part of Living with the Landspeeder) and Chris, for a fun and lively discussion about one of our favorite things... DISNEY MUSIC.

This time, it's favorite musical sequences in ANY Disney film - and by "sequence", it's defined as a scene where a character is actively singing the song itself and/or participating in the song (not just a musical montage where action is happening as the song is playing).

The chat goes all over, from "Aladdin" favorites to "Beauty & The Beast" music to "Mary Poppins", which of course because Jenn is involved, and somehow, Dave is stalking Amy Adams and also Derek (or someone) nearly curses Dick Van Dyke -- LONG LIVE BERT!!

Make sure you follow everyone on the show for all the adventures and enjoy the show!

Ep 167. The One with the Summer News and a Haunted Mansion Review

LISTEN TO THE SHOW!!!

In the 167th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave reunite on the show, as she's returned from her long cruise away (only to leave next week too!).

Disney Springs parking changes... and the Haunted Mansion closing--for two days.

Plus the update on the updated Dining systems at Disney World and Disneyland. 

They do a little "will it open again" chat with various areas that haven't reopened yet, including Blizzard Beach and Voyage of the Little Mermaid.

Finally... Jenn saw a movie!  They both had the chance to see Disney's latest live action film "The Haunted Mansion", and they both give their take on the movie -- what worked (lots of Easter Eggs) and maybe what didn't (might be a tad too dark).

But to discuss such a large story and filmography, they figure a few expertise wouldn't hurt. Enter Podcasting Poobah and host of the Geek Out Loud podcasting empire, Steve Glosson! 

In Disney'ing this week, they talk a little about Return of the Jedi in theaters, too many LEGO sets, and Jenn's upcoming river cruise overseas. 

Then, they each share a little about what brought them into the MCU fandom, and finally, they dive into Marvel Phase One, Two, and Three, with a look at the original 2008 "Iron Man". From there, they go indepth in some, breeze past others, and discuss the overall monumental achievement made by Marvel and by Disney.

Guardians Holiday kicks off soon, Starcruiser wins an award, and more guest behaving stupidly.

Then, Jenn & Dave look at the 26 Pixar movies that have been released, with Dave having seen all of them, and Jenn having seen 21 of the 26, they both start at 20 and rank their Pixar movies all the way to number one.
