Steve jumps at the opportunity to leave the kids behind and step out of his babysitter role, but we were not prepared for him to do so! The Dive, episode 6 of Stranger Things' 4th season, left us wanting more! With the citizens of Hawkins in a frenzy thanks to Jason's accusations against The Hellfire Club, it's not only Eddie that now finds himself in their crosshairs. Eleven continues to dive deeper into her memories, exploring her previous life as Brenner's lab rat, and becoming increasing influenced by the creepy/friendly orderly, Peter.  002 is not too happy about her rising strength, and it looks like she's now convinced she is the one responsible for the massacre at Hawkins Lab.

Nighttime festivities are back in full swing and Disneyland feels completely magical again! Darrell and Colby visited Disneyland and California Adventure earlier this month and experienced The Main Street Electrical Parade, Fantasmic!, Disneyland Forever, and World of Color. Each of these shows are truly spectacular and reminded us of what was missing from our last few Disneyland visits.

It takes a gifted actor to be able to pull off a single-actor episode.  When executed well - such as Agnes Moorehead's "The Invaders," the episode can become legendary.  Since we've already covered that episode, this month we look at two other single-actor episodes.  First up is Robert Cummings' season 2 premiere, "King Nine Will Not Return." Cummings portrays a US Air Force pilot who was unable to pilot what ended up being a fateful flight that took the lives of his entire crew.  Next up we look at Mickey Rooney's season 5 episode, "The Last Night of a Jockey." Rooney plays Grady, a jockey who wishes he were big after being suspended for fixing races and doping.

Brenner is back! While his return is not really a surprise, the events that unfold in "The Nina Project" with Brenner, Dr. Owens, and Eleven do bring quite a few surprises.  We see the appearance of Peter Ballard the Friendly Orderly, and we can not agree on whether or not he is truly friendly, or truly creepy.  In Hawkins, the exploration of the Creel house has us asking new questions about how many dimensions are at play in this story, and how the gang will find their way to Vecna's lair on their own.

We considered using the ghost network to talk about this episode of Fringe but ultimately decided against it, so we are instead coming to you as usual via your favorite podcast app! “The Ghost Network” seemingly introduces us to amber which plays a much larger role later in the series, and it also presents us with another example of someone who was victimized by Walter’s past transgressions as he conducted morally questionable experiments for the military. We also see a shimmer of Olivia’s enhanced Cortexiphan abilities, and we talk about that enigmatic scene between Broyles and Nina near the end. Be sure to stay tuned as listeners also share their thoughts about the episode, and if you would like to be a part of the listener feedback section in the future, reach out to us via one of the contact methods listed below!

Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022 unloaded a massive amount of Lucasfilm news and updates on our favorite Jedi, Sith, and droids. Bryce is joined by Blake this week as they recap all the major announcements of games, books and most importantly tv shows and movies coming out of the Lucasfilm Studio. From Willow to Darth Vader and Andor to Indiana Jones, the announcements were exciting and surprising. Star Wars fans unite on Mouse House Weekly!

Are we the only ones who think "Dear Billy" might just be the best episode of Stranger Things yet?  With Sadie Sink's impecable performance, this episode has us heaping praise upon praise.  Robert Englund's performance as Victor Creel also stood out and his story gave us chills.  Is his story to be believed?  We have our doubts. Every story element of "Dear Billy" was excellent!  Nancy and Robin faking their way into Pennhurst was hilarious, and the nods to "The Silence of the Lambs" were excellent.  Capping the episode with Max's flashback memories of the kids and Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" were absolute perfection!

We saw major developments on every front in, "The Monster and the Superhero." El is arrested for assaulting Angela with the skate, but ends up rescued by Dr. Ownens and given the option to return to Hawkins, undergo training to restore her powers, and save everyone. In Hawkins, Lucas finds himself in a delicate position as he tries to provide a layer of protection between Dustin's group and the basketball bullies. Meanwhile, Steve, Dustin, and Max break into the school to examine student records in Ms. Kelly's office. While there, Max hears the voice of Vecna, wanders out to the hallway, and sees a grandfather clock embedded into the wall.

We’re back to talk about the punnily titled “The Same Old Story” - the second episode of Fringe! This episode introduces us to supersoldiers and clones, both of which will come back into play later in the series, and it also drops another huge hint about Peter’s mysterious history. Olivia is totally beating herself up due to John Scott’s betrayal, but should she be? Meanwhile, a serial killer is on the loose, but why does this particular serial killer capture the attention of our Fringe team?

Easter eggs are all over Disney movies and parks, and there are so many to uncover! Even if you are a big Disney fan, I bet there are still some hidden secrets you might not know. In this episode, Jeremiah and Rachel have a very special guest who loves Disney and all of its hidden treasures. Kristen (Jeremiah and Rachel’s daughter) joined to discuss some of the Easter eggs she uncovered in a few of the animated movies and wanted to share her findings.
