The Oscar nominations came out this week and Cars 3 isn’t on the list. Black Panther is just three weeks away and we talk about what it could make and what it means for black women.

It was quite the eventful week as Disney admitted to darkening the skin of extras in the live action version of Aladdin. In addition, Disney began charging wealthy guests for extra fast passes, a sharp change in direction from the current free system. Plus there was a new Star Wars comic that could fix most of the problems with The Last Jedi. That and much, much more. For the week of January 15, this is episode 166 of The Disney Movie Review.

This week it was light on the news but heavy on the language so we dive into Disney’s attempt to reach out to young black males.

For the week of January 8, 2018 this is episode 165 of The Disney Movie Review.

I'm like Bob Iger. I keep saying there won't be an episode and then, Poof! Here it is! But when Ed, Kim, Cameron, Chiwahn, and I all get together at a diner in Texas, you have to break out the recorder. Sorry for the sound quality, but we hope you enjoy this one!
