During We Want The D Minnie Mouse-isodes, the listeners are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The host who diligently researches and presents stories from Disney's colourful history, and the hosts who get to listen and crack jokes. These are their stories.

DUN DUN.

Winter, 2018. The geodesic dome known as Epcot. A weary Disney World employee makes his way into the abandoned pavilion. She gives the empty hall a casual once-over - nobody cares about this place aside from a few hardcore nerds online who take the time to "break in" to the largely unsecured space and film videos in portrait mode on their smartphones. She's about to move on when her brain catches up to her eyes, which casually drifted past a spotlight-lit space moments before. The boy...where is the boy? Her eyes dart from the vacant chair to the dangling, hoses. A brackish, oily fluid drips from roughly severed black tubes. She scrambles for her walkie-talkie. "H-Hello, we have a situation at Epcot! Someone has stolen Buzzy!"

While it shouldn't really be a surprise to see how many unnecessary sequels Disney churned out over the years, they still manage to throw us a curve ball every once in awhile. Because who could have imagined that they'd make a direct, made-for-tv sequel to the Hayley Mills' version of The Parent Trap, appropriately titled THE PARENT TRAP II? Let alone that they'd make it 25 years later when the twins played by Mills are 40 years old. So while there are twin hijinks, they're pretty low-rent...sort of like the meddling plots of Nikki and Mary, the two selfish and bad stars, or Tom Skerritt's parenting skills. The Summer of Sequels continues to chug along, here on We Want The D!

The 90s were generally a pretty good decade for Disney, what with the renaissance of their animated features and some beloved sports movies and such. As we've seen before, however, there were some real clunkers in the mix as well. But perhaps none that land with such a dull thud as A KID IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT - a movie so bad it almost makes you wish it had been made in 60s/70s era Disney. At least that way maybe it would be about a baby goat running around a castle instead of some pubescent dud named Calvin zipping around the halls of Camelot on his in-line skates, trying to trick twenty-year-olds into kissing him, and hanging out with an old man in a t-shirt. 

A little over a year ago, Vicky, Nolan and Jill were delighted to make the acquaintance of Merlin Jones, the scrambled egghead of Medvale Collage. Now, during the Summer of Sequels, our hosts couldn't be more excited to return to this campus of extremely old students for more of Merlin's wackadoo adventures in Disney's THE MONKEY'S UNCLE. Like all good sequels, this one gives us more of what we crave - more Tommy Kirk (in his final Disney role), more green screen dream sequences, and more of Annette Funicello's foghorn voice; this time accompanied by the dulcet harmonies of The Beach Boys.
