I'm Drew's co-host, entertainment writer Jim Hill, and he and I are recording the show on Saturday, February 19th, 2022.

This week was crazy. I mean, things I never thought I would hear about happening, like Brad Bird's Regan coming back from the dead, or the long delayed Coyote vs. Acme project would actually go forward.

Let alone a Bloom County animated series, amazing bits of news. But then you had your trifecta over at the rap this week and landed all three of these interviews and got these pieces out there inside of a single week.

So let's start with the big one. You got to talk to Lynn Manuel Miranda about not only in canto, but his live action version of The Little Mermaid.

And you followed that with speaking to Chris Miller and Phil Lorde about episode six of Apple TVs after party, which is animated really?

Yes. Oh, yeah. And then to cap that you got to talk with Dave Wassen, who executive produced the Cuphead show, based on the usually popular game, which debuted on Netflix this Friday, February 18th.

We're going to get through to talk about each of these interviews on the letter a part of today's show. But first the news and the news on fine tuning is brought to you by Storybook Destination's trusted travel partner, the Jim Hill Media podcast network.

Yeah. Not a surprise that we're getting a despicable me for Chris. We're now who directed the first two despicable me's is coming back to direct the fourth in the series.

I say here that Steve Correll is coming back to voice grew, which I think you pointed out not only hotel, Transylvania, Transfermania, but also I say what the I say adventures of

a while.

Yeah.

Really rolls off the tongue.

It does. It does.

The fourth despicable me movie should not be confused with minions, the rise of grew, which after two years of delay due to COVID, it comes arrives in theaters July 1st of this year.

It's a prequel to the original despicable me from July of 2010, but it's also a sequel to the first minions movie, which July 15th.

And oh, speaking of which did you see they finally have sort of revealed what the replacement for Shrek 4D is going to be at Universal Florida?

Well, I saw our mutual friend Alicia was talking about it being a moving walkway attraction.

Is this what you're hearing?

Yes, but did you see what you're moving through though?

Is it the convention from the first film?

Villancon.
