Hexed Trailer, Pride Nite - GEEKS CORNER - Episode #820
Jun 18, 2026
Welcome to another exciting episode of Geeks Corner! This week, Mr. Daps and Caitie Bear return to the studio to chat about Disneyland After Dark events, look ahead to upcoming Disney animation and sci-fi trailers, and face off in a brutal round of Disney "This or That."
Here is what you can look forward to in this week's episode:
Episode Highlights
The History of "Welcome": The show kicks off with a fun park music fact: Phil Collins originally wrote the song "Welcome" for the 2003 animated feature Brother Bear, which was later famously utilized in Disneyland's Parade of Dreams starting in 2005. The hosts reminisce about the moose movie, share a clip of the song, and remember the incredible hype of waiting hours on Main Street for that parade back in 2005.
CHOC Walk 2026: Mark your calendars for August 2nd! The team shares details on the annual CHOC Walk through the park to raise funds and awareness for the Children's Hospital of Orange County. Daps Magic has been supporting this cause for nearly twenty years, and the hosts explain how you can help out—even if you aren't a morning person—by registering as a "sleeping bear" to raise funds from home.
Disneyland After Dark: Pride Night Review: Mr. Daps and Caitie Bear share their experiences from the first night of Pride Night, praising its positive, celebratory, and uplifting environment. Highlights include friendship bracelet trading, character sightings like Tinker Bell and her fairy friends performing "Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust," and a structured Royal Theater queue featuring Princess Aurora, Maleficent, and the Three Good Fairies. They also brainstorm an idea for a fully live-action Wonderland face character group featuring the Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter.
First Teaser for Hexed: The duo breaks down the brand-new teaser trailer for Walt Disney Animation Studios' upcoming November film, Hexed. While the magic and witchcraft premise seems promising, Caitie Bear notes the character animation reminds her heavily of Onward and Frozen, while Mr. Daps questions if the design leans a bit too close to DreamWorks rather than traditional Disney.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 Trailer: Caitie Bear, who recently finished crying through the end of season 3, shares her immense excitement for the final trailer of Strange New Worlds Season 4. The hosts discuss how well the series has built Captain Pike's backstory, planted the seeds for Kirk's future crew, and kept the zany, sci-fi spirit of the franchise alive.
A High-Stakes Game of "This or That": Mr. Daps puts Caitie Bear on the spot with five quick-fire comparisons:
Tokyo DisneySea vs. Epcot: Both choose Tokyo DisneySea for its fully realized theme, noting Epcot's current identity crisis.

Welcome to Geeks Corner. I'm Mr. Daps.
0:19
>> I'm Katie. And did you know that Welcome
0:23
was written by Phil Collins for 2003's
0:25
Brother Bear and then used in
0:27
Disneyland's Parade of Dreams in 2005. I
0:31
added something to that. Aren't you
0:32
Aren't you impressed?
0:33
>> I am very impressed. I also think it's
0:36
really funny because it is one of those
0:37
songs that if you are a Disneyland
0:39
local, First of all, I did know this fun
0:41
fact.
0:42
>> I'd like to put that on the record.
0:43
>> Okay, good. Second of all, I think this
0:45
is one of those things that if you are a
0:46
Disneyland local, you know, welcome to
0:48
our family time is like the 50th or
0:51
pride night or like whatever and then
0:54
you go, you know, it's from Brother
0:55
Bear. People go,
0:56
>> huh,
0:56
>> that's not from Brother Bear.
0:58
>> That happens a lot.
0:59
>> It is from Brother Bear, actually.
1:01
>> Yeah. Like that banger of a song.
1:04
>> Cuz it's to me it was so ingrained in
1:06
like my childhood that I didn't even
1:08
know what Brother Bear was.
1:11
I mean, a lot of people didn't know what
1:14
Brother Bear was,
1:14
>> but isn't it so funny that it was
1:15
written for Brother Bear?
1:17
>> It happens.
1:18
>> It's a good song. Phil Collins,
1:20
>> you can't you can't win them all.
1:22
>> And there's there's some very good
1:24
moments in Brother Bear.
1:26
>> I've never seen it.
1:28
>> It's It's worth watching once. There's
1:30
some funny moments in it.
1:31
>> I knew Brother Bear is the Moose movie.
1:33
>> That's because those are some of the
1:35
funny moments.
1:35
>> The moose were kind of how they led with
1:38
that movie. And so I remember them
1:40
advertising the movie with the moose and
1:42
I was like the moose movie has welcome
1:43
to our family time.
1:44
>> Yep. There you go. All right. What
1:45
should people do? K,
1:47
>> you should go and comment. Did you know
1:51
uh also are you able to say welcome to
1:54
our family time without doing it in the
1:57
cadence cuz I physically am unable. Um
2:00
go into the comments, tell us that.
2:02
Subscribe wherever you're watching.
2:03
Also, go to dabshq.com
2:07
and um
2:09
yeah,
2:10
>> all that fun stuff.
2:11
>> Just go to dabshq.com and tell me what
2:13
you find.
2:14
>> Okay.
2:14
>> I'm not going to tell you. You tell me.
2:17
>> Okay.
2:17
>> Yeah. Um, also if you would like, we are
2:20
going to have a wonderful time on August
2:22
2nd walking the park for the annual
2:25
chalk walk in the park raising funds for
2:27
Ray Children's Health of Orange County,
2:30
formerly Children's Hospital of Orange
2:32
County, which Walt Disney did help
2:33
found, but it's raising funds and
2:36
awareness for a fantastic cause. because
2:38
we've been involved with them for nearly
2:39
20 years and uh it's it's definitely
2:42
worth the extra time, effort, monetary
2:47
uh gift, I guess you could say, and lack
2:49
of sleep. I was going to say I am not a
2:51
morning person at all. If you know me
2:53
personally at all, take professional me
2:56
out of this. I'm not a person that likes
2:57
to wake up early in the morning. Chalk
2:59
is still one of those things that I
3:00
would not sacrifice for or chalk walk
3:02
specifically is one of those things I
3:04
would not sacrifice for the world
3:05
because of how magical it is.
3:08
And even if you can't make it, you can
3:09
still support. You can share our link.
3:11
You can share this show. You can join as
3:14
a sleeping bear and uh help help raise
3:17
funds for this. But uh anything you can
3:19
do is a fantastic thing. And uh it's a
3:22
great cause that we enjoy covering every
3:25
year. All right. Shall we move into more
3:28
now?
3:29
>> I suppose.
3:29
>> You suppose? Okay. What are we doing?
3:32
>> Welcome
3:45
All power please.
3:50
>> Welcome
4:00
to our family time.
4:08
This is the best
4:12
of all here.
4:25
planning future
4:29
with friends.
4:35
This has to be
4:38
the most peaceful place I've ever been
4:43
to
4:47
see before.
4:54
Welcome to our
5:00
brother.
5:16
Heat. Heat.
5:27
We
5:30
share you.
5:43
>> Now, I just had to share that because as
5:45
I'm seeing in the chat, you cannot watch
5:48
that without thinking of Parade of
5:50
Dreams.
5:50
>> Well, yes.
5:51
>> They got the choreography. They've got
5:53
the the banners. Like, it's fantastic.
5:55
We've also got the beat drop of to all
5:57
who come to this happy place.
5:59
>> Welcome.
6:01
>> Mhm.
6:02
>> Like
6:03
>> crazy beat drop, by the way. Would go
6:05
crazy in a club.
6:06
>> Yeah, it was it was great. Um, and and I
6:09
remember the first time hearing that on
6:11
May 5th in 2005 and just how people went
6:15
insane after we waited for hours to see
6:17
this and to watch this parade that we
6:20
really like the internet wasn't like it
6:22
was today where you have all of these
6:24
teases coming out ahead from Disney
6:26
Park's blog and all the social media
6:29
like we kind of had ideas but we had no
6:32
clue what we were getting into and and I
6:34
don't know that we'll ever get that
6:35
experience again. But uh fantastic
6:38
parade. Cavalcade was also a lot of fun
6:41
and I liked that it was a little bit
6:43
more substantial than the daily
6:46
cavalcade we have for the 70th just
6:48
because there was more to it
6:50
>> and we happened to bump into the
6:52
cavalcade later in the evening. And it
6:55
was one of those I hate to say but kind
6:58
of weird things where I was like oh I
7:00
need to pull out my camera. I don't do
7:02
that for the cavalcade. Like it's here
7:03
and there. It's gone. Um, but it was
7:05
nice to see something a little bit more
7:07
substantial going along the parade
7:09
route. And I hope you bring back a full
7:11
daytime parade, Disneyland. Like, I
7:12
think that'd be fantastic. But that was
7:14
just one part of Disneyland After Dark
7:16
Pride Night. We went to the first night
7:18
as we always do. And it was a lot of
7:20
fun.
7:21
>> It was.
7:22
>> You can guarantee that Pride Night is
7:23
going to be one of the most like I think
7:26
Pride Night and OogieOogie Bash are the
7:28
most fun.
7:29
>> I agree. And it's not because there's
7:31
anything super exciting or um
7:35
unexpected.
7:37
>> It's because people just go to have a
7:39
good time.
7:40
>> And I think there's a lot to be said for
7:43
that with Disneyland is if you just go
7:45
to have a good time, it changes the vibe
7:46
of the entire park. What did you think
7:49
of the night?
7:49
>> Uh I thought so this is actually really
7:52
funny. I feel very similarly to last
7:55
night's event as I did to the first year
7:57
that they ever had Disneyland after
7:58
Pride night in the fact of it was just
8:00
like a very positive, fun, uplifting
8:03
environment. Um maybe that's because
8:05
we're confining it to two nights and so
8:07
it's people that are really really
8:09
passionate and are really excited about
8:11
this. Um but I saw like friendship
8:13
bracelet trading. I saw people dancing
8:15
together that had just met that night. I
8:17
saw people making friends in line for
8:19
characters. Like to me it's everything
8:22
that Disneyland has.
8:23
>> The girl waiting as I'm waiting for the
8:24
I waited for what an hour and a half for
8:26
the cavalcade cuz it was already filling
8:28
up. And this girl next to me as people
8:30
are walking along they're like that's
8:31
the best uh outfit or happy pride or
8:34
whatever it was she was saying like but
8:35
she was literally calling people out as
8:37
they're walking up Main Street and
8:38
everybody's stopping and interacting and
8:40
super happy with it and and I just think
8:42
that's the kind of positive um uplifting
8:46
attitude that that makes Disney so much
8:48
fun. Keep going. Sorry. I agree. But I
8:50
think that that's it's it's one of those
8:52
things where it kind of takes the best
8:54
of Disneyland and encapsulates it
8:56
because people are having a really good
8:57
time. I didn't really have any line
9:00
cutting or rude people or what have you.
9:03
It was people that were excited.
9:05
>> Also, what lines?
9:06
>> Well, yes,
9:09
but uh I think that people were just
9:11
happy to be there. Um, and I think that
9:14
um, something like Disneyland After Dark
9:17
Pride Night is not taken for granted
9:19
because it is kind of even still last
9:22
night I was like, I really can't believe
9:25
this is happening at Disneyland. And
9:27
it's amazing. It's incredible, but I
9:29
think that so many people are like, we
9:31
can't take this for granted. Like that,
9:33
and it's kind of what Pride is about is
9:36
we can't take this moment for granted.
9:38
And I think that there's just this
9:40
energy that encapsulates Pride Night
9:42
that is so
9:43
celebratory and fun and positive. Um, I
9:48
was smiling all night.
9:49
>> So, what was your favorite thing of the
9:50
night?
9:51
>> My favorite thing of the night.
9:55
That is difficult.
9:57
Um, I mean, the cavalcade is for sure up
10:00
there.
10:01
>> Um, I am I'm trying to think of I took a
10:05
lot of pictures as if I was at a concert
10:07
last night. I I took a lot mainly of the
10:09
Cavalcade. Um
10:12
what did I love? Oh, I I really actually
10:15
love how they adapted Tinkerbell and her
10:17
fairy friends. Um because in the past it
10:21
has been a little wild, crazy, chaotic.
10:24
>> Um I do think this year felt a little
10:26
bit more Yes, it was chaotic
10:29
>> because people love Tinker Bell and her
10:30
fairy friends. Um I specifically love
10:33
that they all got in a circle and they
10:34
did Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust. That
10:37
was cute.
10:37
>> Like, are you kidding me? Um, but I
10:40
really I love that element because it's
10:43
combining both aspects. Like, it's
10:45
Disney characters, but also, hey, I'm
10:48
going to pick you and we're going to
10:49
strut our stuff together and we're going
10:51
to like enjoy. We're going to play Simon
10:52
Sax.
10:54
>> I actually thought it was one of the
10:55
places where they structured it more.
10:56
And it worked.
10:57
>> Yeah.
10:58
>> Cuz sometimes they're like, "Oh, let's
11:00
structure this to make it easier for
11:01
guests."
11:02
>> Yeah.
11:02
>> And it ends up just being like, "Oh, you
11:05
structured it easier." so more people
11:07
can get through and it comes off as a a
11:11
numbers thing as opposed to a experience
11:14
thing. And this was like how can we make
11:16
a better experience for guests that also
11:18
accomplishes this
11:20
>> which is how I felt about other things
11:21
in the night.
11:22
>> Yeah. I I I think there were things that
11:24
you were
11:25
>> uh I think there were opportunities that
11:28
that they took that definitely changed
11:31
the game a little bit and um I think
11:34
there was mixed reactions to how that
11:36
worked and I think one of the most
11:37
effective things they did which they
11:39
didn't change at all though was bringing
11:40
back the Queen of Hearts.
11:42
>> Oh my gosh, I love the Queen of Hearts.
11:44
I love the Queen of Hearts. So it was
11:47
the Queen of Hearts. There was the evil
11:49
queen, which you know, love my divas.
11:53
>> Um, and then Cinderella and Fairy
11:55
Godmother were roaming Fantasy Land,
11:56
>> which adorable
11:58
>> love. I anytime I get to see the Queen
12:01
of Hearts, I'm in a good like Queen of
12:04
Hearts when she can yell at you.
12:05
>> So, here's my love. This is just coming
12:08
to mind right now.
12:10
>> We have the Queen of Hearts as a face
12:12
character, not as the one we normally
12:14
see in the park during Halloween time.
12:16
>> Correct.
12:18
What would happen?
12:20
>> Oh gosh, what are you about to say?
12:22
>> I would love to see Queen of Hearts face
12:26
character
12:28
>> with Mad Hatter.
12:29
>> Oh, I was going to say
12:30
>> like how fun would that be?
12:32
>> Musical chairs
12:33
>> or or musical like I don't care. But
12:34
like even at this event, imagine if they
12:37
added to the equation, sorry, evil
12:39
queen. What if they drop evil queen?
12:42
What if they drop fairy godmother?
12:46
Maybe even Cinderella.
12:48
Can you imagine if you had the Queen of
12:51
Hearts,
12:53
Alice in Wonderland,
12:56
>> Mad Hatter,
12:56
>> Mhm.
12:57
>> and then White Rabbit. I don't know.
13:00
Like something else. Uh maybe even maybe
13:02
even uh face character, which I don't
13:05
know if we've ever seen this though. The
13:07
king.
13:08
>> Okay.
13:09
>> Like I'm sure you could find the king
13:12
who's shorter than the Queen of Hearts.
13:14
Um, it'd be hilarious. Can you imagine
13:17
more?
13:19
>> That might be the most popular
13:23
>> combination
13:24
>> or unit, I guess, is what they call it.
13:27
>> Mhm.
13:27
>> That you could bring to a night like
13:30
this because I think people would go
13:32
they would lose their minds.
13:33
>> Go bananas.
13:34
>> Yeah. Like I think
13:37
traditionally the wandering fairies,
13:40
evil and good
13:43
combined with Aurora and I think they
13:45
had prince, didn't they have the prince
13:46
for a while too?
13:48
>> Uh
13:48
>> or am I thinking a different event? But
13:50
anyway, that's like that's the
13:52
combination that people have completely
13:53
geeked out about wandering around
13:55
Fantasy Land. I would contend
13:58
that if you had the Wonderland Face
14:02
Crew,
14:04
>> that would be perhaps the most
14:07
ridiculous but also popular group you
14:10
could bring into a a Pride night.
14:12
>> I agree. But I also personally would
14:14
prefer if Princess Aurora, Maleficent,
14:17
and the Three Good Fairies went back to
14:19
roaming fantasy land.
14:21
>> It was fun
14:22
>> because it was fun.
14:23
>> So they were in royal theater. Um there
14:25
there is a structured queue.
14:27
>> I just think there's something so
14:29
magical specifically about Aurora
14:32
roaming with the three good fairies at
14:35
Sleeping Beauty Castle. Like
14:38
>> like come on. To me that was my only
14:42
thing where I was like, "Okay, maybe
14:43
Cinderella and Fairy Godmother could
14:45
have gone in royal theater." Um because
14:48
I think Aurora deserves to see her
14:49
castle. Well, and yeah, I think you
14:52
could have thrown I think you could have
14:54
switched who was in and who was out.
14:56
>> Yes.
14:57
>> Um like I would have almost put all the
14:58
people that were roaming into Royal
15:00
Theater and switch that. I think that
15:02
have been a great thing. I do love the
15:04
idea of uh Mulan's crew. Like if you can
15:07
have all of all of the people that are
15:09
in um what's the song Fighting for?
15:13
>> Yes. Just put anybody that sings in that
15:15
song.
15:16
>> What do we want?
15:17
>> a face character in the park. It would
15:19
be amazing. I would be
15:22
>> watch if you want.
15:22
>> But you know what? I would still take
15:24
>> I would still take the Alice Hatter cuz
15:27
I just Can you imagine that?
15:29
>> But so
15:31
>> it'd be mayhem.
15:32
>> Queen of Hearts is more in the live
15:33
action realm.
15:35
>> Sure. But the
15:36
>> So would you go more live action Hatter?
15:38
>> No, because the if you look at the the
15:42
royal garb that she is wearing, it's not
15:45
the live action. It is more close to I
15:48
think the animated.
15:50
>> Okay.
15:50
>> So, I think you've made the choice just
15:52
like Walt Disney World has made a
15:53
choice. The three fairies are going to
15:55
be sculpted characters whereas
15:58
Disneyland has thankfully gone with with
16:00
face characters.
16:01
>> I do like that we have gone with fairy
16:03
godmother and
16:04
>> three good fairies.
16:05
>> Like they all they're great
16:07
>> and hats off to all of them. But um
16:12
imagine Queen of Hearts.
16:16
Like
16:18
I I have to wonder if she would be more
16:21
popular. And honestly, I would probably
16:26
get a taller
16:29
Queen of Hearts. Like
16:31
>> I think she would rival Kella. I think
16:34
she would rival
16:35
>> Sure.
16:35
>> evil queen. If she's walking around
16:37
yelling off with her heads.
16:40
>> Sure.
16:40
>> Amazing.
16:42
Like I just think and it's such a like
16:45
the movie is so all over the place.
16:48
>> I've never seen the live action film.
16:50
>> I like the animated so much better.
16:52
>> Well, yeah, but I I've never seen the
16:54
Jinny Depp or the
16:56
>> We could We could watch it sometime. Um
16:59
>> but like just knowing the animated is so
17:01
much better.
17:02
>> Correct. You run off of that and you
17:04
just
17:05
>> go with it.
17:06
>> Yeah.
17:07
>> Can you imagine that? Going through like
17:09
that makes me wish that during Halloween
17:11
time that was one of the characters we
17:13
had walking around.
17:14
>> I'd love
17:15
>> fantasy land or whatever. And and maybe
17:17
that means going over to the mad, you
17:20
know, the mad tea party and yelling at
17:21
people as they're spinning around.
17:23
>> I'd be obsessed with that um area.
17:27
>> There's multiple areas you can do it,
17:29
but yes. But you know, you know the area
17:31
I'm talking about.
17:33
>> Um, across from like
17:35
>> Yeah.
17:36
>> Yeah. Yeah.
17:37
>> I think it I think it'd be very fun.
17:38
>> You guys know what I'm talking about.
17:40
>> Anyway, it was a great event. It was a
17:42
lot of fun. If you get the chance, go to
17:44
it. You won't regret it. Um, it is one
17:46
of those things that
17:49
>> you really have to experience it to get
17:51
the most out of it because it is a vibe
17:54
thing, not necessarily what's on the
17:56
piece of paper. and and that's a great
17:59
great thing to know.
17:59
>> I will say just I I don't know
18:01
personally how I feel about the Fuego
18:03
Gummy Skittles.
18:04
>> Okay, that's fair.
18:05
>> So,
18:06
>> all right, we're going to move right
18:07
along. We have a new teaser trailer.
18:09
Well, the first teaser trailer for Hex,
18:11
which is the next Walt Disney Animation
18:14
Studios film, which comes out in
18:16
November. We have seen it. We have
18:18
posted it. What did you think of it,
18:20
Katie? Very quickly,
18:22
>> I think it looks like Onward. I think it
18:25
looks like Frozen. Um, is that
18:27
unpopular? Mayhaps. I do love this idea
18:30
of like this land of witchcraft type of
18:32
thing, but the whole time I just
18:34
couldn't shake the feeling of Onward.
18:37
So, I'm going to give you
18:39
some bit of
18:42
validation with that.
18:45
My issue I loved the trailer actually. I
18:48
thought this is a fun way and by the end
18:50
of the trailer I was like, "Oh, I could
18:52
see this turning into a franchise if it
18:55
does take you on the emotional journey."
18:57
>> Also, more Edge of 17, please.
18:59
>> Um, like, yeah, there was there's a lot
19:01
of fun connections in there, which could
19:03
end up dating it really fast, so that
19:05
could be a problem.
19:06
>> Edge of 17 isn't dated.
19:07
>> I definitely No, I was looking some of
19:10
the references on the walls. Sure.
19:11
>> Cuz it looked like there was a Twilight
19:13
reference. It looked like Oh, yes, I did
19:14
see that. I was like, "Okay, so that
19:15
could
19:17
>> date kind of where it felt like onward.
19:19
>> My which doesn't necessarily have to be
19:22
a bad thing.
19:22
>> Sure.
19:23
>> Um my biggest
19:26
challenge with it, I guess, is the
19:29
character design.
19:32
I couldn't immediately recognize that it
19:34
was Disney.
19:36
>> Well, it looks like um Hoppers.
19:40
>> I mean,
19:42
Hoppers. It could be DreamWork. I
19:44
couldn't flat out tell you, hey, this is
19:46
the the studio it's coming from. Yeah.
19:48
And that would be my only critique of of
19:50
it because the story sounds interesting.
19:53
I think there's a lot of potential to
19:55
build a magical world that you could
19:58
potentially use in theme parks or
20:00
whatever. Like there was a lot of
20:01
potential in this. Um I definitely wish
20:04
it was a musical versus what I am
20:07
assuming it's not. Um because I do think
20:10
there was a lot of possibility for that
20:11
as well.
20:13
But it also looks like a fun ride. It
20:15
looks like there's going to be an
20:16
emotional component of of finding who
20:18
you are. And
20:20
>> there's going to be an emotional
20:21
component.
20:21
>> You know,
20:22
>> you're lying.
20:23
>> But like that's going to really come
20:25
down to can they nail those notes and
20:28
and can it take you on that emotional
20:29
journey? And if it does, I think this is
20:32
something that you could immediately be
20:33
like, "All right, what's next? I want to
20:34
see the franchise in in kind of the
20:36
realm of Zootopia." Well, I was going to
20:38
say I think it's why Frozen is so
20:39
successful because Frozen very
20:41
successfully hits the notes of
20:43
isolation, also feeling the comparison
20:47
is the thief of joy type of thing and
20:49
then into Frozen 2 of like the growth of
20:52
those characters and where you go from
20:53
those things.
20:54
>> And so I think that that is
20:57
>> like when you talk about hitting those
20:59
emotional notes very very well. I think
21:01
Frozen does that and that's why Frozen
21:03
is such a big hit. That's why Moana is
21:05
such a big hit. So, I would love to see
21:06
something like this from Hex.
21:08
>> Yeah, I agree completely. Also, we got a
21:10
new trailer for the final se or not
21:12
final season, we got a final trailer for
21:14
Star Trek season 4, Strange New World.
21:16
>> Thought it was the final season. I got I
21:18
got to be honest with you.
21:19
>> There's a few episodes in season 5. I
21:21
would just make a longer season 4, but
21:23
>> I was going to say that. Why are we not
21:24
doing that?
21:24
>> Anyway, what did you think of the
21:25
teaser?
21:26
>> I got really excited. So, we actually
21:29
finished our truck Strange New Worlds.
21:30
Well, you've already watched it. I
21:32
finished our track changing worlds
21:34
season 3 a couple days ago and I cried
21:37
for like 45 minutes after the episode
21:40
ended. Um I'm really excited about this.
21:43
Obviously if you guys follow
21:45
#geeekscornerst
21:48
um I did do all of the original series
21:50
like 10 years ago.
21:52
It's been that long. Um but I am really
21:56
excited about where it's going for the
21:58
original series.
22:00
I'm really excited specifically about
22:03
Spock and Kirk. Are you kidding me? Um,
22:08
I also think that they have done such an
22:10
excellent job so far telling the really
22:12
the story of Pike. Um, because if you've
22:15
seen the original series, you know where
22:16
Pike ends. Um, they also make it very
22:19
clear from episode one of Strange New
22:20
Worlds, like this is where Pike is
22:21
going. Um, and so I think that there is
22:26
definitely a risk sometimes when you
22:28
know where a character is going to end
22:29
up that it's like, oh, why why am I
22:31
going to get invested?
22:32
>> It can become stagnant.
22:33
>> I know. Well, and it's I'm not going to
22:35
get invested because I know what the end
22:37
result is.
22:38
>> Um, it's like reading the last page of a
22:40
book.
22:40
>> Yep. But they've done such a great job
22:44
building the crew of the Enterprise,
22:46
building um Pike, um building like this
22:50
entire incredible crew
22:53
of what we assume that Kirk will be
22:55
taking over. Um
22:57
>> well, I don't I don't think they're
22:59
actually building the crew. I think what
23:00
they're doing is planting the seeds for
23:02
the crew that will become next. Because
23:05
if you look at where we're at now, half
23:06
of that crew is not going to be around
23:08
in years, the ship. and um assume yes.
23:13
Um but like it's going to be an
23:15
interesting thing to see how they
23:16
transition from where we're at to the
23:18
original series and how all that plays
23:20
out. And I think the trailer does an
23:23
interesting job of teasing what's coming
23:26
in this season
23:28
>> and also teasing what people want to
23:30
come in this season because we do know
23:32
there's a puppet episode not referenced
23:34
at all
23:35
>> but they didn't go with dinosaurs which
23:36
good for them.
23:37
>> I'm excited for the cowboy episode.
23:39
cowboy like they're clearly still going
23:41
a little bit in the crazy and zany of
23:42
like the original series and the series
23:45
of the 90s and early 2000s and um so
23:49
that'll be interesting and fun to see
23:51
and I'm I'm all for it. Can't wait for
23:54
another month to come because uh then
23:56
it'll be 10 episodes of Star Trek
23:58
goodness. The sad part is after season
24:00
five we really don't know what's coming
24:02
next for Star Trek.
24:03
>> I was going to say this is really the
24:04
sad thing is that I really love
24:06
Starfleet Academy. I'm really loving
24:08
Strange New Worlds and they're gonna be
24:09
gone soon.
24:10
>> Really loved Lower Decks. Um, these are
24:12
all things that I think that they've
24:14
nailed in this era of Star Trek and I
24:16
wish I could just stay in this era of
24:17
Star Trek forever.
24:19
>> Yep. But instead, we'll just have to go
24:20
back and finish Next Generation, watch
24:23
all of DS9,
24:25
>> then Voyager and Enterprise. It'll be
24:28
great.
24:28
>> Easy.
24:29
>> No problem. Will we get a Q episode? I
24:31
don't know. But I hope we already have a
24:33
Q episode.
24:33
>> We do have a Q episode.
24:34
>> I don't know that we'll get another one
24:35
to be honest. I don't think we are. I
24:37
think we'd already know it.
24:38
>> Original series.
24:40
>> I don't think we get another one.
24:41
>> Okay.
24:41
>> I'm just That's my I I I put my money on
24:44
that one.
24:45
>> All right. Now, it is a time to wrap up
24:47
the game or the the night tonight with a
24:49
game of this or that.
25:06
That is right. It is time for this or
25:09
that. Even though Clocky is in the chat
25:11
and not in the studio, but that is okay.
25:15
We're going to play anyway. So, are you
25:17
ready to play the game?
25:19
>> I believe so.
25:21
>> Okay, good. The way we do it is I'm
25:23
going to show two things for this or
25:25
that, and you're going to choose which
25:26
one, this or that you want. Quickly, no
25:28
explanation.
25:29
>> You need an explanation. All right, you
25:31
ready? Here we go. Here's the first one.
25:33
We'll both play this or that.
25:37
Epcot
25:38
or Tokyo Disney Sea?
25:41
>> Oh, you are sick.
25:43
>> Why?
25:43
>> You are sick. You are a sick man.
25:48
>> Oh my god. I am going to turn you in
25:51
after this. Tokyo Disney
25:53
>> over Epcot. Huh?
25:55
>> Yes.
25:56
>> And how come? Because Epcot has so many
25:59
things that are not done.
26:01
Current state Epcot versus current state
26:03
Tokyo Disney C. I'm going to go to Tokyo
26:05
Disney C. Okay. Because Tokyo Disney C
26:08
feels fully realized. It feels fully
26:10
imagined. It's like, oh, this is Cape
26:13
Cod. This is where your jacket gives out
26:16
and you start raining all the way
26:18
through it. This is Indiana Jones. Um,
26:20
this is Alaska. This is why you're here.
26:22
Um, I think that Tokyo Disney Sea from
26:25
the front of the park to the back of the
26:26
park is so
26:28
so incredible and it is such an
26:30
incredible journey. I think right now
26:32
Epcot has a little bit of an identity
26:34
crisis. I love Epcot. I love Epcot more
26:38
than anything. I want an Epcot tattoo.
26:40
Do I want a Disney C tattoo? No, I do
26:42
not.
26:43
>> But if I was saying open to close,
26:47
because that's what I've made the game
26:48
in my head, Disney C. I think that's
26:51
actually the answer is there's just more
26:53
to do with the same level of Epcot at
26:57
Disney Sea and so I would go with Disney
26:59
Sea as well.
27:00
>> All right, you ready for the next one?
27:02
>> No, that was hard.
27:04
>> Would you go with Tiana's Bayou
27:06
Adventure to Splash Down in that one or
27:09
Grizzly River Run?
27:11
>> Um
27:16
>> Mhm.
27:17
>> I'm going to go Tiana's. Okay,
27:18
>> so Tiana's is actually themed.
27:21
>> Grizzly River is themed.
27:23
>> Grizzly's There's a bear that growls in
27:25
a cave
27:26
>> and you have the ranger smith telling
27:30
you to stay seated.
27:31
>> Sure. Um I think Tiana,
27:33
>> I would love to see Humphrey somewhere
27:35
in the attraction.
27:36
>> Agreed. I'd also love to see the Country
27:37
Bears anywhere in the attraction.
27:38
>> I wouldn't. I'd like to see them across
27:40
the street, but go ahead.
27:41
>> Anywh who, uh yes, I agree with you,
27:44
Chris, about um Tiana's. I also think
27:47
that if you are looking for a reprieve
27:49
from the heat, Tiana has longer periods
27:51
of indoor air conditioning
27:53
>> and more splashdowns
27:54
>> and more splashdowns. It is more of a
27:56
thrill. I think that's the only reason I
27:58
even slightly considered is because I'm
27:59
like if I was going for less of a
28:00
thrill, I'd go for Grizzlies. But if you
28:02
want that like true cool down moment,
28:05
it's going to be Tiana's.
28:06
>> And the correct answer is Tiana's
28:08
because there's more going on. There's
28:09
music. There's more story. There is a
28:11
story. There's more splashes. And I've
28:14
gone on it more times in the last five
28:16
years than I have Grizzlies, which might
28:19
be the best answer. All right, next one.
28:23
Toy Story
28:25
or A Goofy Movie? Both released in the
28:27
same year, 1995.
28:29
>> Easy. Toy Story.
28:31
>> Oh, really?
28:32
>> I did not.
28:33
>> See, this one I thought was harder than
28:34
than apparently it is.
28:36
>> I did not grow up with a goofy movie.
28:37
>> Okay. Um, the only goofy movie I saw
28:39
growing up was an extremely goofy movie
28:42
and I just wanted to eat the pizza. Um,
28:44
I grew up with Toy Story. I referenced
28:46
Toy Story on the daily. Um, I think that
28:50
Toy Story
28:52
and Toy Story 2 are in my like top three
28:55
Pixar films. Um, if not my top like in
29:00
my top films. Mhm.
29:02
>> Um, I think Toy Story is such a
29:05
lightning in the bottle. It's one of the
29:08
few films that has 100% of Rotten
29:10
Tomatoes from critics. Um, because it is
29:12
such a beloved film and you like you
29:15
take a step back and you look at it in
29:17
2026 and you're like, "Oh, this is still
29:19
a good film."
29:20
>> So, I'm going to say Toy Story.
29:22
>> Toy Story is the answer.
29:23
>> Oh, it is the answer.
29:24
>> Well, I think so. Like,
29:26
>> which one has actually sequels that
29:28
people watch regularly and an extremely
29:31
goofy movie.
29:33
>> Yeah, but that are continuing to be
29:35
built.
29:35
>> The Leaning Tower of Chea. Okay. Taylor
29:38
Swift did not do a song for a Goofy
29:40
movie.
29:40
>> There's my point is like we're coming up
29:42
on Toy Story 5 and have they all been
29:43
home runs? No. But what they have been
29:46
is they've continued to move the story
29:48
and make more fans. And Goofy does have
29:50
a ton of fans and you got to love Goofy
29:53
and Max. But, um, I do think Toy Story
29:56
at the end of the day is more compelling
29:58
and has continued to move that that
30:01
thing along. All right. Are we on number
30:04
four? Is that what I think now?
30:05
>> I think.
30:05
>> All right.
30:08
The Montreal in Florida or the Montreal
30:11
in California?
30:12
>> Okay. So, you started off with an
30:14
absolute like hurtful pick.
30:18
>> Uhhuh.
30:19
>> I think it's gotten easier. And I do
30:21
agree that Disney tune studios have
30:23
always come in above what you expected%.
30:26
Well, a lot of times. Go ahead.
30:28
Montreal.
30:29
>> I love planes.
30:30
>> Montreal.
30:31
>> Montreal. Epcot
30:33
>> or Walt Disney World.
30:34
>> Walt Disney World
30:35
>> specifically. It is an actual form.
30:38
Thank you, Chris. You're saying what I'm
30:39
saying, taking the words out of my
30:40
mouth. Is an actual form of
30:41
transportation. Um, is it a form of
30:44
transportation in Disneyland? Yes. But
30:47
by the time I queue up, time I get on
30:49
the Montreal, I could have walked down
30:52
to Disney. Would my feet hurt? Maybe a
30:54
little bit more, maybe perhaps. Um, do I
30:56
get a cool view of anything? Kind of.
30:59
>> Yeah, you do.
30:59
>> Um, sure.
31:01
>> But am I going from Magic Kingdom to
31:06
Epcot? No, I'm not. I'm not doing that.
31:09
Am I taking
31:10
>> or the ticket
31:12
center?
31:14
>> You know what I Well, I mean, there's
31:15
more than one place to go as my
31:17
>> Am I taking the resort loop?
31:19
>> Mayhaps.
31:21
Like, these are the things to consider.
31:23
It is It is real transportation.
31:25
>> There you go.
31:26
>> I just wish they would update the
31:27
Montreals in Walt Disney World.
31:28
>> I would love to see new Montreals at
31:29
Walt Disney World. And I do think the
31:31
real answer
31:34
maybe on par with Walt Disney World
31:36
would be Tokyo Disneyland.
31:38
>> Okay.
31:40
I know, but I'm allowed to do it. I made
31:42
the show. Um,
31:45
if I make the questions, I can make my
31:47
answers. But
31:48
>> you get to go through the parks in
31:50
Florida.
31:51
>> No, it's great. Like I think it's
31:53
>> before it drops you off, you get to go
31:55
through Epcot.
31:55
>> Yeah, you do. It's some of the best
31:57
views of Epcot. I think it's fantastic.
31:59
Um,
32:01
I do wish I think it would be a game
32:04
changer for me if there was a stop at
32:06
DCA for the Montreal here because then
32:09
then you could do park hopping with the
32:11
Montreal. then it would create a more
32:13
>> and I've always said that
32:14
>> like everybody has because I think we
32:16
all expected that to happen 25 years ago
32:20
and um and then it didn't but that's
32:22
okay. Uh anyway, one more question.
32:25
>> One more. Okay,
32:27
>> I believe hopefully I'm counting right.
32:29
Let's see if I got another one. I do. DJ
32:31
Rex or Sunny Eclipse?
32:35
Is this one easy or hard?
32:36
>> I'm going to give it to my boy DJ Rex.
32:39
Really?
32:40
>> Yeah, I am. Okay.
32:41
>> Um, so while I love Sunny Eclipse as an
32:43
original character for the Disney parks,
32:46
he has the Space Angels. Amazing. I love
32:48
that for him. I will say DJ Rex,
32:51
originally Captain Rex in Star Tours,
32:55
also an original character for the
32:57
Disney parks, also some of the most
32:59
iconic lines in Disney Parks history in
33:01
my opinion. Thank you, Paul Rubin. I
33:04
think DJrex in Galaxy's Edge is the
33:08
perfect like, oh, if you don't know Star
33:11
Tours OG, that's a cool party droid
33:13
playing music.
33:15
>> I think if you do know Star Tours,
33:17
you're like, uh, that was his first
33:19
flight and he's still getting used to
33:21
his programming and you lose your mind.
33:24
When he does the reboot and he says
33:25
that, you lose your mind.
33:27
>> Okay,
33:28
>> it goes crazier than any club I've ever
33:30
been in.
33:31
>> Okay,
33:32
>> I'm just saying. There you go.
33:33
>> DJ Rex.
33:34
>> I'm gonna go with Sunny Eclipse just
33:36
because I will sit and watch Sunny
33:38
Eclipse all afternoon if I have the
33:40
time. Whereas DJ Rex, I sadly think it's
33:45
too noisy.
33:46
Like it's it's
33:49
the it's it's partially the
33:54
it's the environment, I guess. like it's
33:56
it's not necessarily him, but like is
34:00
both of them deserve better than where
34:02
they're at in my opinion and
34:08
DJ Rex is just not as enjoyable of an
34:11
experience.
34:13
If they still had the fancy uh fuzzy
34:15
tonons, that might influence my opinion
34:19
a little bit.
34:19
>> I was talking about this the other day.
34:20
I miss when fuzzy tonons try to kill me.
34:22
>> There you go. But like the I think the
34:26
real challenge is is there's so much
34:28
going on in there. It's it's beyond what
34:31
the cantina was in A New Hope. Like it's
34:34
to another level. And
34:36
>> nobody's shooting me at Og.
34:39
>> Well, if we'd had that happening there,
34:41
that might actually change my opinion if
34:43
we had some of those story clunky.
34:46
>> But um I would be totally fine with
34:49
Sunny Eclipse coming to Tomorrowland.
34:51
Terrace would be my choice. Um, can you
34:54
imagine him coming up on the stage and
34:57
doing a set, then going back down? Like,
34:59
people would have a blast. Um, yeah, I'm
35:02
going with sunny clips, but
35:03
>> that's okay. That's that's the way it
35:05
works. All right, it is that wonderful
35:07
time of night where we respond to the
35:08
questions and the comments you have
35:10
during
35:16
comments. Comments.
35:20
That is right. It is time for comments.
35:22
comments. So, if you have anything that
35:25
you would like us to respond to, let us
35:27
know in the comments. What are you
35:28
laughing at?
35:29
>> Right off the bat, I am seeing a comment
35:31
we need to talk to.
35:32
>> Which one would you like to talk?
35:33
>> Bring a sunny eclipse to snow and
35:34
terrace with the sitar player.
35:36
>> See, there you go. That would that would
35:39
be very fun.
35:40
>> That was uninitiated. Um, in in the
35:42
dips, the dips magic lore, uh, there was
35:45
festival of holidays, there was a sitar
35:46
player at Soma Terrace, and we had no
35:50
idea we're getting into. We just like to
35:52
hang out with Snow Terrace. If you know
35:53
us, you know we like Snow Terrace. We
35:55
were like, "Okay, cool. We're hanging
35:56
out." He starts playing the sitar and as
35:58
a joke I go, "Jos's on a vacation far
36:03
away." I was like, "Oh, haha. It sounds
36:05
like that." Then he starts singing
36:08
uh Your Love. And I was like, "Oh my
36:11
god, he's doing it." He proceeded to do
36:13
the craziest set of music on a sitar
36:16
I've ever heard.
36:17
>> I wish I could relive that day. Not
36:19
entirely Disney appropriate, but
36:21
amazing. It was It was very
36:23
>> I wish I could relive that day like
36:24
every day of my life.
36:25
>> Yeah, it was very fun.
36:26
>> So, yeah, I think about that frequently.
36:29
So, if Sun City Eclipse could play a
36:32
sitar, I don't agree with that. Soma
36:34
Terrace should not have a dedicated
36:35
stage because I also like my peace and
36:37
quiet
36:37
>> which we're never going to have again
36:38
because it's become too popular. But
36:40
that's
36:41
>> Who told people about Sonoma?
36:43
>> The internet.
36:44
>> I mean, me right now.
36:45
>> Social media.
36:46
>> Am I the problem?
36:47
>> The Tik Tok. Um, all of these things did
36:50
like it's it happened. That's just how
36:52
it is. Like,
36:53
>> yeah,
36:54
>> such is life. Uh, all year long since
36:58
noon, two, four, and six happy hours.
37:00
>> Happy hour.
37:00
>> See, there we go. It's always a happy
37:02
hour when you're at Soma Terrace,
37:03
though. Like,
37:04
>> I can take a happy hour with some with
37:05
some apps. Some apps and zer.
37:08
>> There you go. I don't know.
37:11
>> You don't want some apps and zerts?
37:13
>> Not going to say it that way. No.
37:21
I I I don't even know what's going on
37:23
right now.
37:23
>> I love this dynamic.
37:24
>> All right, we are running out of time.
37:26

37:28
