Annie and Danny's FastPass Podcast

This week's episode starts with Annie and Dan discussing the especially sparse news in the world of Disney including Topiaries, the British Virgin Islands, and Robert Lopez's quest for the EGOT.

The episode then transitions into an in-depth analysis of Saving Mr. Banks and the mean lady that was P.L. Travers.

After that, they hit some good old-school Disney Dummies that are mostly about people overreacting to smokers.

Finally, in honor of the FastPass going into "Legacy" status, they talk about what else should be put out to pasture at Walt Disney World.

This week Annie and Dan hold their end-of-the-year podcast where they wing it through no substantial news items, but talk about their respective holidays and the things that stood out for them most about this year at Disney. 

Next they touch on some "injury/mishap themed" Disney Dummies where poop is discussed a bit too much probably.

After that they discuss Frozen some more, Dan's experience watching Saving Mr. Banks, and then his visit to the Walt Disney Family Museum.

Enjoy!

Then Annie busts out a Holiday-Themed Disney Dummies where they touch on Disney's Jingle Cruise and what Walt would think about the commercialism of the holidays at Disneyland.

The podcast closes with some free-form discussion of what Princess has the best dress, who you'd want to fist-bump under the mistletoe, and the Star Wars Holiday Special.

In this episode of the podcast, Annie and Dan welcome back their friend Sean (@AngryDisneyNerd) and they discuss the fairly scant Disney News of the week, which mostly features them being uninterested in the tidbits researched by Dan. These include items about Ducktales the video game, Facebook check-ins, wrongful death lawsuits, and waffles. 

After that, they dive into the Disney Dummies segment, and a brief discussion regarding the veracity of Saving Mr. Banks and whether that even matters.


Lastly, they spend the final 25 minutes discussing Frozen in the most spoilerific way possible.

Next they spend some time on their popular recurring segment "Disney Dummies" where they make fun of Disney message board posts.

They finish up with a game they call "Disney Showdown" where they are presented with two options at Disney and they can only choose one.

Also? Annie explains a dream she had in which Dan appears. Let's just say a silver newsboy cap is involved.

Annie and Dan welcome their first ever guest to the podcast, Sean aka @AngryDisneyNerd on Twitter. The three of them talk all kinds of Disney news, like more Avatar stuff, "This date in Disney History", the passing of Diane Miller, the layoffs of Park Execs, and a lot more.

Then Dan and Sean put on their nerd hats and talk Thor: The Dark World and Marvel flicks in general. Annie gets in on the act by telling an amusing anecdote about Natalie Portman.

To end the week, Annie pits Dan against Sean in an epic Disney trivia contest. You'll have to listen to see who wins!

A word of warning to the young'ins out there, due to time constraints, there may be an errant un-censored bad word or two. Or ten.
