March 27, 2017 Floyd Norman: An Animated Life
The Disney Classics are ... classics, and with good reason: they had superbly talented people undertaking huge and complicated projects for years on end, culminating in stories and films that are still relevant today. On this show, we talk to the filmmakers of a documentary about one such man who was at the forefront of these classic films ...
Floyd Norman: An Animated Life
But first ...

Nothing - we get right to it with filmmakers Michael Fiore and Erik Sharkey talking about their new film, "Floyd Norman: An Animated Life. We loved this film, and both Michael and Erik did a great job getting some great stories out of Floyd in the movie - which didn't seem to involve too much coaxing. Floyd is a very interesting guy with a massive amount of work to his credit, much of it on animated classics that helped to shape the field.

To coincide with the movie release on Blu-Ray, Michael and Erik are having a contest called, "Floydering with Floyd", and all you have to do is the following:

* Buy a copy of the Blu-Ray
* Snap a photo of you with the film
* Post it on social media with the hashtag "#Floydering"

That's it! Anyway, thanks to the guys for coming on and talking with us about our new crush!

Speaking of crushes, we have Jeremy from SpectroRadio on again to give us some more history of Disney music, then we do our feedback segment, Fact of the Show, and we are done!

See you in the Parks!

March 13, 2017 The History of Splash Mountain
Splash Mountain is an amazing place, full of long lines, slippery cement, and the scream-filled air of scared adults.
The History of Splash Mountain
But first ...

We talk about "terrible" songs and how Bev is wrong in her opinion of music. Then we do a little feedback, and jump right into the history of Splash Mountain.

After that, it's the Fact of the show and we gone.

See you in the Parks!

Bev really, really enjoying Splash Mountain

February 28, 2017 The History of the Partners Statue
By now, most things In Disneyland are not secret, despite what most click-bait articles tell you. The Partners Statue is one of those things that, while not secret by any means, does have a cool history with some lesser-known points of interest. Taren takes the lead and gives us ...
The History of the Partners Statue
But first ...

Of course we stumble over the intro, and Jason laments the fact that we don't have an archivist, so if anyone wants to work for free and taking notes on our shows, just holler.

We also announce that Terrence will be doing the next classic review of "Song of the South", and he could not be more excited. Our D23 update happens, for those of you who were planing on meeting us there, and Taren's Thinks returns with some deep thoughts about vitamins. Jason reads the feedback for Taren, since it's her show and that's a lot of talking for her to do.

Then it's Taren's turn to shine as she tells us all about the Partners Statue in Disneyland!

We do some feedback, then the Fact of the Show, and we gone!

See you in the Parks!

The famous statue, located at Imagineering!

February 14, 2017 Behind The Scenes of Disney Imagineering
It's no secret that Disney takes a long, LONG time to make any changes in the Parks, and with good reason - it takes many people to get those wheels of change turning. Today, Kyle is back to tell us just what is involved in getting those wheels moving, as we go ...
Behind The Scenes of Disney Imagineering
But first ...

We start the show somehow talking about Beyonce and her weird pregnancy announcement photo. Then we had Bev talk about the Three Caballeros that she watched for our Disney Animated Classics Review. After a jump into some Feedback, we get Kyle on the mic to chat with us about what it takes to bring a Disney attraction to life.

Then some Disney News, a Fact of the Show, and we gone!

See you in the Parks!

January 30, 2017 The Music of The Millennium Celebration
Disneyland has loads of history, obviously. Sometimes, we need to take a step back and check out those other Disney Parks out in the world that have been churning out great entertainment for decades as well. Tonight, Jeremy from SpectroRadio comes in to talk to us about ...
The Music of The Millennium Celebration
But first ...

We had an email issue that killed our email, so if you wrote in and didn't hear back, once again the email gremlins are to blame. We also chat about our 100th episode live broadcast and all the details that we know about that, which isn't much, but we do give the location ...

Our friend Jeremy from SpectroRadio starts his segment on the Millennium Celebration that took place in Walt Disney World in the year 2000. Normally, Jeremy's segments are shorter than this, but in building his history show, he needed much more time to do this amazing celebration any amount of justice. And Jeremy doesn't disappoint, diving deep into the origin story of this celebration - all centered around the music and how that all came together. It was a really great show, and something that we were all excited to listen to.

Then we do our Fact of the Show and we are gone.

See you in the Parks!

January 16, 2017 New Year’s At Disneyland
Being in Disneyland for New Years is something on most people's bucket lists, but not something we have ever given much thought to. The park has to be super busy, right? Well, thanks to Disneyland offering a Tower of Terror event on January 1st, Taren and Jason decided to see what it would be like to experience ...
New Year's At Disneyland
But first ...

Feedback happens, and we give our review of Steakhouse 55, the upscale dining experience located uncomfortably close to Goofy's Kitchen. Then we talk about spending New Years Eve not in Disneyland proper, but in Trader Sam's!

We chat about the Festival of the Holidays, the Food-and-Wine-esque event in DCA, and then get to our experience at the "exclusive" Tower of Terror event and how that lead us to get sucked back in to the Disney process ...

News, Fact of the Show, and we are gone!

See you in the Parks!

Our "exclusive" Tower of Terror party with over 500 of our closest friends!

Amazing

Taren and Jason saying "Good-bye" to the best themed queue in the parks

January 03, 2017 Let’s Go To Shanghai
All too often we get stuck on the two Disney parks we have here at home, without looking too much into the others around the world. Today, we take a look at the most recent Disney Park and why we are saying ...
Let's Go To Shanghai
But first ...

We open the show with some exciting news: EarzUp! is now on Patreon! If you have been looking for a better way to support the show, then Patreon is that way. It's sort of like a monthly crowd-funding site, where you pledge your support monthly, but you get free stuff out of the deal (besides this amazing show). So if you have been waiting on throwing us some cash, please hit up our Patreon Page here, and check out our awesome rewards. It helps us stay alive!

Then we chat about the upcoming trip for Taren and Jason that just happens to land on New Year's Eve, and is mainly for the Tower of Terror party happening on January 1st. Taren has some long feedback that of course we have to comment on, and then it's on to the show.

Shanghai Disney has some really amazing rides, stuff that Disneyland will never be able to get. So, will the draw of technology be enough to bring us to China? Find out!

We do some Disney News, a Fact of the Show, and that's it!

See you in the Parks!

December 16, 2016 A Quick Holiday Update
This time of year is always busy enough with normal life. Add into that a recording schedule and egg nog drinking and things can get a bit muddy. So today we post a quick update show to let you know that we will not be having another show release in 2016. NO TEARS! We just couldn't find the time to all get together and record a show, but we did manage to carve out 20 min last night and record a little something so you don't think we forgot about you!

We talk about Jason's new passion for Costco Egg Nog, about how half of us will be participating in the Disney 5k in September, we do a short online quiz about Walt Disney, and drop some info on our upcoming Patreon page. Yep, we are doing away with our PayPal account and shifting to the wonderful Patreon platform, which is basically an ongoing Kickstarter page where you can support us and get cool rewards in exchange for your hard-earned money. It's pretty cool, and a much better way for us to give back to you for keeping this show alive.

At any rate, there we go - we are taking a break until 2017, so have a happy holiday of your choice, and we'll see you in the parks!

November 30, 2016 History of the Alice in Wonderland Ride
Lately, there are many rides at Disneyland that have super long lines. Peter Pan being one of the longest and most consistent of these, but there is another! Taren jumps into the second biggest line in the park, and gives us ...
The History of the Alice in Wonderland Ride
But first ...

We open the show with technical difficulties as we get used to our new studio. A little bit of banter, and the we get to Jeremy from SpectroRadio who comes on to give us a bit about the history of the Tomorrowland Area Music! He kills it, as usual.

Then we do some feedback, a bit more banter, and then it's Taren's time to shine as she brings us the history of the Alice in Wonderland ride!

After, we drop some cool news for a lucky listener, do some Disney News, let loose with a Fact of the Show, and then we are gone!

See you in the parks!

Taren at home on the Teacups!

November 14, 2016 It’s Not A Trip To Disneyland Without …
We all have things that we love about Disneyland. Little things that just "make" the trip for us, and we would feel almost empty without experiencing. Sometimes those things can be very different from one another, despite how relatively small the park is. Today, we go around and talk about our ideas of ...

It's Not A Trip To Disneyland Without ...

But first -

We open talking about our brand new studio and how new everything is for us. Despite our fumblings, we think the show sounds pretty good! Then some exciting news about Covears for us personally, flowing right into Taren's Thinks - this one is about Stevie Wonder.

Terrence discusses the last step he took to be on the Disney Mom's Panel, and tells us if he made it or not.

Then we jump into the meat of the show - what makes a trip to Disneyland for each of us.

More talk about our 100th show, where it could be, and the realization that we'll have to sell tickets to the show so that we can really put on a great experience for you all.

Feedback, Fact of the Show, and that's it.

See you in the parks!

If you squint, you can see the construction of Star Wars Land in the background!
