The Captain's Log

Episode 279. Now that the Olympics are over, it's time for fall to begin, with random sightings of kids out in public already wearing their Halloween costumes. We get nostalgic with Didi and confounded with Borderlands, and discuss two new movies based on true events starring the actual people from those events, Kneecap and Sing Sing. We recap movie and TV news from D23 and beyond, including Pixar's first TV show, the weirdly horror-tinged Tron: Ares, and a Pacific Rim prequel. Melissa is allowed "off the leash" to recap the Disney theme park news, including new Avengers rides, a Monsters Inc. door coaster, and a villains-themed land. We also dare to ask, what if humanity's final form is a baby born with full understanding of the movie Tenet?
