Wish (2023)

About this episode

The episode celebrates the 100th episode by discussing Disney's Wish and its shortcomings as a memorable film.

We're celebrating our 100th episode with a look at Disney's Wish, a movie made to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the studio. But instead of showcasing why Disney's managed to stick around for 100 years, Wish instead ended up as a somewhat unmemorable entrant in the Disney vault. Join us as we discuss (among other things) half-formed villains with confusing motivations, complicated wish bequeathing systems, and why maybe you're better off letting a dream die. Thank you everyone for listening along, and for celebrating this milestone with us!
