Momentum can be deferred, but it must always be paid back in full, and, after the last two episodes of the season, this episode certainly pays it back! We finally get one of the big season finale cliffhangers resolved – what Olivia and William Bell talked about in the Redverse – and also get a plethora of burning questions answered. It all comes to a head (see what we did there?) when our hero is broken and defeated and the bad guys have seemingly won.

The Little Mermaid was released in 1989. It is a captivating animated musical that continues to enchant audiences of all ages. Plans for a remake of 1989’s The Little Mermaid were confirmed in May 2016. The film was released in the United States on May 26, 2023. Critics praised the performances of the cast and the musical sequences but criticized the visual effects and character designs. But which one is the best? This is the subject that Rachel and Jeremiah tackle on this week’s episode of Mouse House Weekly. They compare plots, characters and music, giving each subject a score. At the end they tally up and find out which film is best.

Ben is back from his first sailing aboard a Royal Caribbean ship. It may be impossible to compare the fleets of Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line, but in this episode Ben does his best to share how the Radiance of the Seas compares to the Disney Magic. These two ships come from a similar era, and are very comparable in size and capacity. Erica comes along for the ride and the two talk everything from dining to entertainment to service and more. Is it truly an apples to apples comparison, or is one of these experiences more of a poisoned apple? Plus, a long time ago in a Disney park far, far, away, Ben went to Star Wars Nite and Erica claims he did it all wrong. Is she right? Come along for an episode filled with late night flights, and royal sailings!

Join Chris and Darrell this week as we discuss “Fracture” – the third episode of Fringe’s second season! We reflect on whether or not we initially suspected that the case would tie into the Observers and how this episode ties into season 5. We also discuss how the last couple of scenes really help save the episode for us, and we share feedback from Rory, M.G., Patty from Canadia, ShelkyBean, and Musketeer Dad. If you want to contribute feedback to the podcast and/or would like to sign up to be a co-host for a season 2 episode, hit us up!
