Adults Do Disney episodes

  • #31 - The Tao Of Disney
    Lindsay & Laurence attempt to achieve enlightenment using principles and life lessons gleaned from the experience of going to a Disney park. What wisdom can we learn from imagineering, and what more could be added to the Disney experience to make it even more transcendental? Also - L&L are heading back to Florida in February 2019, and want to hear what you'd like them to pay attention to!

  • #30 - On Location: Shanghai Disneyland! (Part 2)
    It's the second instalment of L&L's Shanghai Disneyland wander! In this episode: the most beautiful Tomorrowland of all, Barbossa's Bounty restaurant, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Soaring Over The Horizon - plus lots of sounds and screams of joy.

  • #29 - On Location: Shanghai Disneyland! (Part 1)
    Laurence & Lindsay are thrilled to bring you the first of two podcasts recorded on the ground at the magnificent Shanghai Disneyland! This is a seriously impressive park, and perhaps their new favourite. It's immersive, rich with unique attractions and theming, and perhaps a little less saccharine than other Magic Kingdom-type Disney parks. Also included: a quick look at Ocean Park, Hong Kong.

  • #28 - On Location: Hong Kong Disneyland!
    The first of Laurence & Lindsay's China trip podcasts... it's Hong Kong Disneyland! As they report from onsite, with glorious swirling Disney sounds around them, find out what they make of China's first Disney park. Unique rides, theming, atmosphere, food, hotels, Halloween overlays and more.

  • #27 - Incredibles 2 and the Future of Pixar
    SPOILER ALERT! Lindsay & Laurence dissect Incredibles 2, arguably the most adult film that Pixar has released to date, in a very spoiler-heavy review. Disney is continuing to produce super relevant movies that reflect today's debates and issues, while sticking it to dudebros of the world. Good! The personal is the political! So what does the future hold for Pixar?

  • #26 - Star Wars Cast & Crew Interviews (Part 2)
    In Part 2, Laurence interviews creature effects hair specialist Maria Cork, the woman responsible for building and maintaining Chewbacca! Maria has worked on all of the new Star Wars movies, and has incredible stories to tell - from the thrill of styling Yoda's hair on night shoots with Frank Oz, to the unglamourous phenomenon known as "wookiee butt" (a phrase coined by Peter Mayhew himself). She also talks about her work on other films, including the suit of feathers she made for a real live horse on the set of Maleficent.

  • #25 - Star Wars Cast & Crew Interviews (Part 1)
    The first of a 2-part special, in which Laurence & Lindsay sit down with Mason Ball - Star Wars actor and creature performer. Mason played Praster Ommlen in The Force Awakens, and Sosear Latta in The Last Jedi, and tells fascinating stories about what it's like to be inside an animatronic creature, working under JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson, and the pivotal moment he truly realised he was in a Star Wars film.

  • #24 - Planning Our Asian Disney Parks Trip
    Laurence & Lindsay are going to Hong Kong and Shanghai, and they're planning all the ins and outs of their trip. Episode 24 features comparisons between China's two very different Disneylands, their unique attractions, cultural differences, practicalities such as visas, hotel bookings and accommodation, as well as (of course) large helpings of incoherent Disney rambling.

  • #22 - Bob Iger's I.P. Challenge
    Laurence & Lindsay are joined by very special guest, Disney CEO Bob Iger! He's in a terrible mood. The tired old unbranded Walt Disney classic attractions aren't yielding enough merch dollars, but since they're historically significant, Bob can't replace them. L&L offer a solution: reverse-engineer them into movies, Pirates-style! Even if they're totally unsuitable! Perhaps the most tortured 45 minutes of Armchair Imagineering in the history of Adults Do Disney.

Grown-up Disney nerds Lindsay and Laurence spend a lot of time in Disney theme parks, and almost as much time trying to explain that they're wasted on children. So they host a podcast about Disney's…
