Summary
Bryan is joined by Scott Renshaw, the author of Happy Place: Living the Disney Parks Life and they talk about the merging cultures of Disney Parks and Star Wars. As a longtime professional film critic, they talk about how differently Scott is forced to view the films as opposed to being the young fan whose life was changed by that initial release of Star Wars. It's a fascinating discussion.
