D23 Breakdown (Season 7 Episode 27)

·1 hr 10 min·2 clips

After 35 years, Pixar is finally making its first original series—not a spinoff, an actual series for Disney+.

The episode opens with the usual sponsor read and some easy banter. Then the crew gets into why they held off on recording. They had been circling M. Night Shyamalan's Trap, but did not want to guess at D23. So they waited until after the big Disney Entertainment showcase. That choice gives the discussion a cleaner landing spot. The hosts can react to what was actually announced instead of playing what-if games. Incredibles 3 is the first big topic to pull them in. They revisit Incredibles 2 and settle on the idea that it is fun, but it does not reach the same heights as the first film. The original Incredibles still gets treated like lightning in a bottle. That leads naturally into the hope that a third movie can do something a little different. They want the kids grown up. They also want the sequel to avoid the usual copy-paste move. Zootopia 2 comes next. The details are still pretty basic, but enough to keep the conversation moving. Then the show veers into the kind of unexpected Disney news they love to joke about. Dwayne Johnson being tied to Monster Jam gets an immediate reaction. The room starts picturing him driving a monster truck. Grave Digger gets the nod, with Bigfoot not far behind. From there, the hosts keep bouncing between franchise memory, release chatter, and straight-up fan laughter. It stays casual, warm, and familiar, which is exactly why listeners who like a table full of people talking Star Wars and Disney will feel at home.
