Welcome back to fine-tuning with Drew Taylor, your one-stop shop when it comes to animation

news and commentary.

I'm entertainment writer Jim Hill and Mr. Taylor, whose writings on the industry you can

regularly read over on the rap and whose musings on the Mission

Impossible movies you can listen to on Light the Fuse the official Mission

Impossible podcast he and I are recording this week's show on Monday, April 1st, 2024.

I am a quick question Drew do we have any thoughts on April Fool's Day?

I hate it. I hate I hate it all thank you thank you only the thing to come out of this is that

the Americana at brand memes account which Jim if you've ever have you ever been to the Americana in Glendale?

Yeah yeah yeah get it's a little trolley rolling down the street yeah yes of

course so this is a a meme account that is just about the Americana which we love but they switched over to a

Universal Studios Hollywood account today which has been absolutely delightful.

My wife heard me on the toilet giggling because I was looking at these things, yeah. That's the only good thing, but otherwise it sucks. It absolutely sucks.

I have to admit, you know, it's the one day a year where painfully

humulous people try to be funny and and typically fail so it's like you know

that leave being funny to the professionals like Mr. Taylor, okay?

Now, that said though, I did do something foolish today, Drew.

I went to Walmart and I bought the Blu-ray and the DVD version of both Disney Wish and

Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse.

And why this is foolish is Disney Wish debuts on Disney Plus in two days.

No, not foolish, Jim. This is that we need to maintain our physical media.

There we go. We have to stand strong, we have to be like Tracy Letts, and who has 10,000 DVDs.
