Episode 0 - The Disney Positive Podcast: The Musical: The Series: The Trailer
Join Spacey (and Koura) on this preview trailer episode, where, like Professor Ned Brainard and his old, Flubber-fueled Model T in Disney's "The Absent-Minded Professor" - we finally get the darn thing up and flying. Or like Troy Bolton in High School Musical, we get our head in the game and bounce basketballs in a choreographed fashion while singing. In future episodes, the fidelity will be greater, but the heart will remain the same: just people who love Disney talking about the things they love, and hate to waste time drinking Haterade and eating Hater Tots and hating on the things they hate. With that...enjoy!
