I need support staff to clear the room. Stand up and walk now. Hello and welcome to the watch. My name is Chris Ryan. I am an editor at theRinger.com and joining me on the other line. Hoping his ID still works at the impenetrable fortress. It's Andy VeeWalt! Is that a Star Wars thing? Yeah it's a Star Wars thing. Did she just put it on?

Watch Obi-Wan Kenobi? Don't you want to talk about that today? Do I want to talk about it? Boy I mean we will. Andy it's Thursday in the United States of America and we're here to talk about a couple of things today. We've got some news and notes to go over on the top some headlines from Hollywood. And then we were going to just briefly chat about Obi-Wan episode four and maybe throw some hosanna's towards Miss Marvel.

We're going to talk about another new Disney Plus show because we love Disney. We love Disney. Maybe more than Peter Rice loves Disney. Outgoing head of Disney like all entertainment right? What was his official job title?

So Peter Rice is a long standing, long serving executive in all caps this town who was running Fox.

Yes, although the same town. I'm sure Matt will be covering this in some emergency fashion on his one with much more detail and reporting and what's going on.

But long serving executive Fox came over as part of the merger was running all of the combined Fox and Disney TV assets along with his colleague Dana Walden by all accounts of beloved figure was called into Bob Chepek's office.

Bob Chepek cosplay mad men season four with him and told him thank you for your service you're done.

I'm not laughing. I feel I mean, you know, I'm sure Peter Rice is going to land on his feet.

For what it's worth you and I had a similar conversation after I didn't like Obi-Wan.

You know, the first time. Well, that was what I was going to ask you is if you thought that this was after Bob Chepek and watched episode four of ill of Obi-Wan.

I was like, Pete, come on through my office.

We get a chance.

Didn't help. I'm going to say didn't help. And maybe it's the tone setting that they need or the reset. By the way, before we get into this industry talk,

Gail Simmons is on our podcast. Oh, yeah, I forgot. I'm sorry. People I completely buried the lead. Gail Simmons are beloved top chef judge and somebody we wanted to have on the podcast for a very long time.
