"We’ve been charged with telling new stories for a younger generation because they deserve what we all had — a mythology to call their own." Disney's announcement of new Star Wars films, theme parks, TV shows, and other goodies have us wondering — how much is too much? Do we need a new Spider-Man, a Fantastic Four reboot, more Star Trek, and another Avengers film? Where do artistic endeavors end and commercial franchises begin? Why do these stories keep repeating, despite our fatigue, and how do we keep them relevant? Special guest, geeky photographer and host of the On Taking Pictures podcast Bill Wadman.

Episode 68: Tomorrowland, Tomorrowland VS. Pirates of the Caribbean, Top 5 Disney Rides
“I get things are bad, but what are we doing to fix it?” We explore Disney’s Tomorrowland! Does Brad Bird’s film live up to the vision of Walt Disney’s theme park attraction? What’s the film telling us about science and imagination? Is Tomorrowland a refreshing return to Kennedy era NASA optimism or an idea that already feels outdated and simplistic? In the INFINITE CROSSOVER CHAMBER we debate what’s the better adaptation of a Disney attraction - Tomorrowland or Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl? Get in line for our top 5 Disney rides. Special guest, former Disney cast member and present host of YouTube’s Without a License Diana Chang. 0:00 - 32:29: Tomorrowland (non-spoilers); 32:30 - 49:23: Tomorrowland (spoilers); 49:24 - 1:02:20: INFINITE CROSSOVER CHAMBER: Tomorrowland VS.
