Talking The Mickey

Much like Loki - we were gone for a while but now we're back - did you miss us?  Well, we're back with glorious purpose reviewing a Marvel Original Series on Disney Plus in Marvel's "Loki", with our analysis of Episode 1, "Glorious Purpose." Keeping It Loki is designed as a companion podcast for the casual fan (but not hardcore comic spoiler types). Join Ethan,  Georgia and Ian for a roundtable as we discuss the TVA, diminishing returns on infinity stones, if Marvel cheated on time travel and character development and we come up with some pseudonyms for the 2012 Loki character.

This week we're heading back to the 1940s to find a skinny kid who doesn't know enough to run away from a fight.  Join your favourite Disney Podcasters – Ellie, Ethan, Georgia and Ian – as we try to sneak into the war from any recruiting center in Brooklyng.  Questions we asked this week include: Why did Chris Evans not want to play Cap?  Why did Stanley Tucci agree to play this role? Why don't Cap's trousers shred when he grows? Does Peggy overreact to the kiss between Cap and Marjorie Tyrell? Is Tommy Lee Jones ever bad in any movie?  Is this a better film than Iron Man?  Is it possible to view this film in a vacuum or do you have to consider everything they're setting up for later?  We also have an important announcement at the end of the episode.

If that wasn't enough for you, we've got some more content from friend of the podcast, Andrew, in our Pause for the Parks segment.

So, catch up on some great Disney content and then join the conversation (@talkthemickey), Instagram (@talkingthemickey), or on our Facebook page (@talkingthemickey).

This week we're heading out in search of a clownfish with a dodgy fin.  Join your favourite Disney Podcasters – Ellie, Ethan, and Ian - Georgia's locked up in a fishtank in Sydney – as we hang ten on the East Australian Current towards Sydney in Finding Nemo.  Questions we asked this week include: How long did the pitch meeting for this have to be?  Who was the original cast voice actor of Marlin? Why shouldn't we say that all drains lead to the ocean? Who was the one critic that said this was a bad movie and what was their excuse? Which voice actor was released from the project after refusing to emulate their iconic sitcom voice?  Why was the shark called 'Bruce'?  How does Ethan not know how long Robbie Williams has been famous for?  For a second straight week we ask whether New Zealand is bigger than Australia? and what motivated director Andrew Stanton

This week we're talking about a princess who might not want to be a princess anymore - somebody call Oprah.  Join your favourite Disney Podcasters – Ellie, Ethan, Georgia and Ian – as we grab our electric scooters and head to San Francisco with The Princess Diaries.  Questions we asked this week include: Is there anyone who does the ugly duckling tale better than Anne Hathaway?  Is it a requirement of the Genovian prime minister to open all official state functions in song?  Why is Mia even friends with Lily and when does she decide that she wants to be with Michael? Does this film waste both Sandra Oh and Hector Elizondo? Why does the American press have power over the Genovian crown? Why is there a race against time at all? and perhaps most importantly, why does Genovia hold their independence ball outside of Genovia and in San Francisco?
