This week we're talking about character diversity (or lack thereof), a new writer for Dr. Strange and just what does "Rogue One" mean? That and much, much more. For the week of August 29, this is episode 97 of The Disney Movie Review.

My dad is my special guest this week. He's been diagnosed with early onset dementia and doesn't talk much. I apologize for the echo. It was important to me to record an episode with him and I hope you enjoy it. We'll be back to normal next week.
