Welcome to Marvelous Disney, the podcast that discusses the most recent doings at one of the more dynamic divisions of the Walt Disney company, which is, of course, Marvel Entertainment.

This is Entertainment writer Jim Hill, and my co-host, the amazing Aaron Adams and I, are recording this week's episode on Tuesday, June 15th, 2021.

So, Aaron, I'm going to give you three guesses. What do you suppose we're talking about for this week's show?

Oh, Netflix and Neil Gaiman gave a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at Sandman. We're going to talk about that.

Yes, number two. Okay. DC has asked Harley Quinn producers to remove one scene from season three.

They say when it comes to Catwoman, Batman is not allowed to be clever with his words.

He cannot be a cunning linguist. Not that. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Number three, guess number three. Cowboy bebop live action will feature music by original composer, Yoko Kano, to which I say, all right.

Three, two, one. Let's jam.

You're so close, but no, we are recording, again, June 15th, which is the day before the second episode of Marvel Studios and latest limited series,

Loki airs. We're going to record the news portion of today's show tonight and then regroup tomorrow morning with the idea that will record the feature portion of this week's show after the two of us have seen episode two.

So that way this week's episode of Marvelous Disney will be as timely as possible, at least as far as Loki is concerned.

I'm going to be watching it at three. What time you watch it? 3 a.m. I'm up. You down? Are we recording at 3 30? Is that how we're doing it?

I'm old. I need sleep. I will be up relatively early. And if you want to reach out like eight or nine, I'll be good.

Just eat some turkey, take a nap now.

Pretend it's Thanksgiving. I'm not in the pants. Take a nap in the lazy boy. I'm sorry. It's Taco Tuesday.

I'm immediately from here. I have to pivot to go make tacos. So anyway, this is the third limited series that Marvel Studios has delivered to Disney Plus to date.

Bob K. Pat just yesterday was speaking at the 23rd credits. Wece communication conference revealed that in the first week that Loki became available for viewing on the company's

subscription streaming service. Episode one of this limited series was the most watched Disney plus series in history. You surprised.

Disney plus has only existed for 19 months. So it's like, you know, we're not talking. Oh, the dawn of time. It's been 19 months. Okay.

What supposedly really exciting the folks at Disney is, I mean, I remember when we were talking about Wanda vision, they were very, very happy with those numbers when it debuted back in January 15th of this year for the first episode, 655,000 households tuned in.

We got 655,000 for Wanda vision's premiere episode. We then when Falcon and the Winter Soldier, it debuted March 19th. We had 759,000. So that was a jump of 104,000 households.
