The Jedi, Hero & Princess Podcast

It’s a long episode, and a long time coming, but we dive in deep to give our experiences from the 2017 D23 Expo. The panels, the lines, the freebies, the announcements, the celebrities, and the SHOPPING! It is all covered day by day from three different perspectives. We give our reaction to the parks and movie announcements. We have thoughts on how the expo was run. And we have our experiences with the various panels and booths on the show floor.

WDWNT is in the process of counting down the “45 Greatest Things Ever at Walt Disney World” as voted on by readers and listeners to celebrate 45 years of the Walt Disney World Resort. The list, which has sparked much debate and conversation, is a fine list, but the JHP team started to debate our personalized versions of these lists behind the scenes… so we decided, why not record it!? So here it is, part two of a four part series with Nick, Zoe and special guest, artist and lifelong Disney fan Annie, which celebrates our favorite things at WDW. Part two counts down 15 through 6.

This is your guide to the Official Disney fan convention, the D23 Expo. As seasoned D23 Expo attendees, Nick and Zoe give helpful tips and tricks while Brendt, the savvy convention goer lends his expertise to assist you in prioritizing and navigating 3 days of craziness. We take you through the panel queues, the giveaways the show floor booths and of course, the shopping.

In this episode, we also go Shopping with Zoe, Nick reviews Forces of Destiny and Brendt gives a spoiler free review of Spider-Man Homecoming.

No Jedi. No Heroes. Not even a Princess. This week, we are all Liars, Liars and Liars! Pretty Little Liars has come to an end and Nick and Zoe, joined by Zoe’s cousin and PLL super-fan Karrah, are here to talk all about why they think this was the perfect ending for our favorite little liars. We also react to I. Marlene King’s and Troian Bellisario’s post finale interviews and reveals. We break down all the clues that were given about the big twist all season, and series long. And we go character to character and give our final thoughts on each one’s journey. Join us for this celebration of PLL. Oh, and someone else has one last thing to say…

“Enjoy the show *****es. Be warned, there are spoilers”

This week we are without a Hero, but the Jedi and the Princess are joined by Annie “The Mom” who helps give Nick (and the listeners) a list of off-the-beaten-path things to do at Disneyland when he visits in July for D23 Expo. We also discuss what to expect at this year’s expo, a summer of Disney Store giveaways that Nick is probably too old to go get, Zoe’s recent outside the park shopping hauls and a Star Wars and Marvel SDCC exclusives update.

In this special edition of JHP, we give our take on the Girl Meets World television series as it’s three year run on the Disney Channel has just wrapped up. In a larger context, we compare the series to its successor “Boy Meets World” and how the sequel stacks up against a show they both grew up with. We also get into the cultural impact of “Girl Meets World” on youth and society, why a TV show like this is important to have on the air and how the business model of the Disney Channel and the Disney company prevented this show from reaching its full potential.
