When we started this podcast it was originally meant to be a deep dive into selected entertainment news and pop culture information that being die hard fans of a number of key areas of these topics we thought we could lend some unique perspective on.

Over the course over 130 episodes we drifted away from that more to a reporting on current news and events with a little commentary mixed in. We’re hoping to get back to our original purpose starting with this episode.  We’ll highlight a couple of significant events in the entertainment and pop culture worlds more from a deep dive and less from a reporting perspective

In today’s episode we’re taking a look at some interesting finds from the Disney Animation Research Library.  Then we’ll digest some of the feedback from the opening of the Galactic Starcruiser experience at Disney World. We’ll also mark the 50th anniversary of one of the most iconic film franchises in movie history before we take a peek at our experience at Nerd Fest this past weekend.

Families can be a pretty complicated thing. What makes up a family? What are its functions? What type of family units are there? How do families help you? In this episode of Insights Into Teens we’ll continue our deeper look at relationships and dig deeper into what it means to be a family.

What if you are told that you are not perfect? Most people should know that already, but it can still sting to be reminded.  Criticism of any kind can be hard to swallow, especially when it comes to something you spent time and energy on.  Inherently, we all want to do a good job. But criticism is just as important as praise, if not more so. Good, constructive feedback can help you improve and guide you towards new heights you might not have achieved otherwise.
