Heat, Heroes, and Half-Built Avengers Campus (Ep. 13)

Jim Hill and Dan Graney finally record face-to-face from Anaheim, sharing a sun-scorched Disneyland trip, firsthand impressions of Avengers Campus, and a candid look at what’s working - and what’s not. From ride reactions to walkaround characters and future Marvel attractions, this vacation edition mixes on-the-ground observations with big-picture theme park thinking. Plus, Jim reports in from the Academy Museum and a surprising Marvel presence, while both weigh in on the evolving entertainment landscape beyond the parks.
