The original film Tron is celebrating it's 40th anniversary this year. We are also looking forward to launching off on lightcycles around Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World sometime in 2023. So, what better time to have our friend Lou Mongello (WDW Radio) back on the show to discuss his love for the franchise, and his experience riding Tron Lightcycle Power Run in Shanghai Disneyland. The three of us discuss both Tron films, the Tron: Uprising Disney XD series and prep for the new attraction. Put on your geek hats and get on the grid, it's time for Tron!

We recently had the opportunity to play the tabletop game Disney Sorcerer's Arena: Epic Alliances. "Become the next Master Summoner in this Disney-themed strategic battle arena game, where every choice you make determines your legacy! Recruit a fantastical battle-ready roster of Disney and Pixar heroes and villains, creating incredible combinations that provide endless replayability. Once you’ve summoned your characters to battle in the Sorcerer’s Arena, strategize their every move using their unique abilities to earn the most victory points." This game based off the wildly popular mobile game is a wonderful addition to any Disney fans table. After a brief discussion of the game, Bea and Vanessa had the opportunity to speak with the creator Sean Flecther. It's a wonderful discussion that allows you to hear the passion that goes behind creating this type of game. He also breaks some news on upcoming tournaments that will be happening throughout 2023. Special thank you to The Op games for providing us with the game and the opportunity to speak to Fletch.

With the recent passing of Glynis Johns it seemed appropriate to revisit our conversation on Mary Poppins. This was the 8th episode of what would become Beyond the Mouse, back before Brett and Vanessa were full time hosts. Mic quality was not great, but we all sat around a table and discussed this film and the Springfield Muni's upcoming production of Mary Poppins from 2017. We will be back next week with a brand new episode!

When it comes to the history of Walt Disney and the studio, the labor strike of 1941 is a fascinating moment. Jake Friedman joins Craig and Brandon (Front Row Classics) to discuss his book, The Disney Revolt. It is a remarkable look at the lives of two individuals, Art Babbit and Walt Disney and how they ended in such a confrontation. It's a real page turner that involves everything from the mob, the studio system, a history of unions and even Mickey Mouse. This was a wonderful conversation, and we hope you enjoy it!

We love the Kingdom Keepers series, and we loved our first conversation with best-selling author Ridley Pearson. So, we jumped at the chance to have him back on the show to talk more about his final Kingdom Keepers series, Inheritance. This new trilogy takes introduces us to the children of the original Keepers as they fight to save the parks from new threats. The second book, Villains Realm, was just released. We talk to Ridley about developing the series, why it takes place when it does and so much more.
