Modern Mouse Radio #92: Armchair Imagineers w/ Creepy Kingdom
It’s our Halloween episode! This week is also the return of our signature series, Armchair Imagineers. Joining the show is James H. Carter II from Creepy Kingdom. The Halloween parties at both the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland continue to grow and we thought that eventually there should be another ticketed event at a Disney park to help with crowd control at the other parties. Since James is a recent transplant to the Disneyland area, we decided to settle on California Adventure for a brand new Halloween party. At this party we bring theming, activities, food, drink, and fun. See what we came up with on this week’s episode.
Also be sure to check out James at http://www.CreepyKingdom.com as well as shoot him a tweet to let him know how much you loved him on the show at !

Modern Mouse Radio #90: 3 Year Anniversary Omnibus Show
3 Years have gone by way too fast! Modern Mouse Radio has changed quite a bit since it’s early days, but we are so happy with where we are and where we are going now! As with all of our anniversary shows, this show is filled with listener questions and we answered some great questions, serious and funny, Disney and not.
We are also overhauling the website soon to reflect where we are these days. That will come before the end of the year. Navigating the website will be an easier, smoother experience. We will also be launching a new web comic series at the beginning of 2016. Finally, new comics are coming!
Beyond those announcements, we will continue to expand with new videos and article series as well as an ever evolving Modern Mouse Boutique with new designs popping up periodically. Make sure to keep your eyes open for what we have in store!

Modern Mouse Radio #89: The Over-Saturation of Marvel Superheroes
Sep 13
Since the start of the new Millennium, the world has fallen in love with comic book superheroes. The films that have come out have become big hits, especially the films encompassed into Disney and Marvel’s Cinematic Universe (MCU). Marvel has mapped out it’s intent to make movies through 2020 as part of the MCU, but recently Warner Brothers has announced that DC Comics will also have their own connected film franchise that will showcase at least 1 film a year. Fox also still has the rights to X-Men and Fantastic Four and it doesn’t look like they are letting go of those stories and could make new films for those superheroes at any time.
For this episode we invited friends Mike Tolen and Ryan Stanton () to be on the podcast this week to discuss the over abundance of superheroes in the market. With the addition of DC’s film franchise and Fox, we could easily see a half dozen superhero films in the theater every year. That’s not to mention the shows on television like Agents of Shield, Arrow, The Flash, and more. With so much superhero content, are we going to see a decline in ticket sales and merchandise sales for these films and what does that mean for Marvel and Disney. How should they change their business plan or should they at all? Should there be a Phase 4 of Marvel films? Will Disney’s Star Wars be another franchise Marvel has to fight against? All of these questions and more in this week’s episode of Modern Mouse Radio.

Modern Mouse Radio #88: Interview w/ Jeff Barnes, “The Wisdom of Walt” Author
We met so many great people within the Disney community at the D23 Expo. One of those people was Jeff Barnes who just recently released his book “The Wisdom of Walt”. We picked up a copy and loved it so much that we asked him to come onto the show to talk about it, the life that he leads, his college course on Disneyland, and so much more!
If you loved the interview, we suggest picking up his book at www.TheWisdomOfWalt.com or on Amazon.

Modern Mouse News: D23 Expo 2015 Recap
***From August 1st-31st we will be doing a t-shirt sale and 20% of our earnings will be going to Together We Rise – a charity to help foster kids get a leg up and we will be specifically donating to them to help kids go on a fun vacation to Disneyland and help them make new friends! Buy a shirt to help support Modern Mouse Radio and Together We Rise***
This week’s focus is a little different than the regular Modern Mouse Radio show! Every 2 years Disney holds their own convention that at this point could rival San Diego Comic Con and it’s called the D23 Expo. Since 2009 it’s been held at the Anaheim Convention Center just a few blocks from the Disneyland Resort.
This year, the Expo was attended by Keith, Angie, Josh, and Erika of the Modern Mouse Crew and since all four are constant contributors to the website and this being a special episode of Modern Mouse, we figured it might be best to check in with everyone on what they thought of this year’s big Disney convention. The crew discusses their overall thoughts on the Expo as well as getting into the big announcements that included upcoming animated and live action films, coming attractions to the Disney parks around the world, and what’s coming from Disney Interactive in video game content. All of that plus discussion on the best and worst of the Expo!

There has been a Sikh man in the news lately because of his appearance at Walt Disney World. The man is in a legal battle with his employer due to him not being allowed where theme park guests are and therefore, not being allowed to move up in the company he works for due to his religious beliefs. This story sparked a segment for us about how cast members dress and look at the Disney parks and if Disney is correct in thinking that changing the appearance of their employees would ruin the magic for guests of the park.
Josh and Angie go in depth and pick apart the cast member dress code, finding some weird and ridiculous rules along the way while also understanding why some are in place and wouldn’t change over time.
