EPCODA

Minor illness has taken down a portion of the EPCODA crew, so this week Chris flies solo as he dives into the Distory of one of his favorite aspects of the Disney parks: the Monorail.

We have family in town for Mayapalooza, so we are taking a break from our journey through Epcot to talk with Chris' parents/Jim and Liam's grandparents. They talk about childhood trips to the 1964 World's Fair and Disneyland, relatives taking a self-guided tour of WDW's utilidors, favorite memories, and much more!

"There's no cause for alarm. Turn off that alarm." It's Cosmic Rewind time! The EPCODA crew takes on Epcot's newest thrill attraction. Like a wild trip through interstellar jump points, the guys talk Guardians of the Galaxy, sing snippets of way too many songs, share their personal Awesome Mixes that they want on the attraction, dive deep into Liam's particular criteria for giving out a 10, and much more!

"Two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of a steer, but a lovable fellow!" The EPCODA crew continues their trip through Epcot as they recap and rate Journey into Imagination with Figment. In addition to the usual trivia and shenanigans, this week features our biggest difference of opinion on the EPCODA score for an attraction.

May the Fourth be with you! In honor of Star Wars Day this weekend, we have a pair of special episodes in which Jim, Liam, Taylor, Zach, and Chris have a May the Fourth Draft to pick a team of their favorite Star Wars characters. And we pull from the movies, the TV shows, the animated series, the books, and all else that can be considered canon (and beyond?). Episode 35 covers the first 4 rounds and this episode covers Rounds 5-7 plus a special emergency bonus round. Hope you have as much fun listening to these episodes as we had recording them. Happy Star Wars Day!

Happy Star Wars Day!

Thank the Phoenicians! The EPCODA crew continues their journey through Epcot as they recap and rate the park's iconic Spaceship Earth. In addition to the usual shenanigans, there will be commercial pitches for fictional pet stores, stories of overconfident March Madness fans, a discussion about who the next narrator for this attraction should be, and much more!

We're going to insist that you buckle up your safety belts securely. Our next stop on our journey through Epcot is Test Track. The EPCODA crew drives through the history of this attraction from the World of Motion through today and wonders about what new ideas and throwbacks the upcoming Test Track 3.0 will bring. All of this plus things get derailed by the British pronunciation of "scheduled," spontaneous Jimmy Eat World karaoke, and much more!

Just keep swimming! The EPCODA crew makes their next stop at Epcot as they dive into The Seas with Nemo and Friends. They'll go deep into the history of the attraction and its predecessor The Living Seas.  And they'll try their best to take this ride and Plus It Up. All this plus we got some new reviews!

"Soarin' to tower: We are ready for take-off!" EPCODA lands at Epcot and begins their tour of the park with the modern day classic: Soarin'. The crew has some fun flying us through trivia about the park and the multiple versions of the ride. Plus they discuss new spins that they would like to see, remark on the apparent discontent with apostrophes at the Asian Disney parks, and get going with their regular EPCODA shenanigans after a month of Mouse Madness. All of this plus we announce the winning movie from our Mouse Madness Listeners' Bracket and draw the name for the winner of the first (only?) EPCODA prize packet!
