With the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company approaching, we thought it’d be the perfect time to delve deep into all things Disney. In today's episode, we kick things off (00:00) with a quick discussion of the latest missteps in the chaotic Warner Bros-Discovery household before introducing today’s topic. In The Multiplying Genre (06:05), we discuss Marvel Phase Four - perception, revenue, criticism, and highlights - and take a moment to offer up our rankings of all of the MCU Phase Four programming (27:26). In Cross Dysfunctional (31:43), we examine the impact of Bob Chapek’s exit and Bob Iger’s return on the Disney umbrella of brands before doing an analysis of the technology and UI powering the newly-launched Disney+ Ads tier (49:05). Then, in Final Thoughts & Wrapup (1:07:33), we consider the future of Disney in the streaming world.

So does it remain the happiest place on Earth? You decide.
