Chris and Steve are back for the second episode of Ruminations in 2026 and their twenty-fifth episode overall! And Episode XXV contains topics galore: we discuss the Disney parks (of course), the recent “Zoomer horror” movie Backrooms, tattoos, and, most shockingly, sports! Why did Chris decide to like sports in 2026? How was it taking a toddler to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Which Disney character interacted with Steve in an unexpectedly movie-accurate scenario? Is the PATH train station a “liminal space”? And what object of interest did Christ end up getting permanently drawn on his arm? Give us a listen, and happy America 250, everyone!

Ruminations Episode XXI: Disney Fun Time
After a yearlong hiatus, Ruminations is back with Episode 21, the last episode before co-host Steve becomes a father! To mark this occasion (and the possibility of an even longer hiatus), Steve and Chris return to their roots: discussing the good, the bad, and the ugly of Disney. This time around, it’s mostly the Disney theme parks and their controversial changes of recent years, with a sprinkling of TV and movie talk. Which Disney landmark, according to Chris, is no longer safe? Did Steve ever finish The Acolyte? Did Chris come up with a better plot for an unnecessary Disney prequel nearly 20 years before it was announced IRL? Can one have nostalgia for a place first visited at the age of 20? How did Steve not die while drinking (and eating cheese) Around the World last summer? Come for Chris’s burning hatred of a thousand suns, stay for Steve’s inability to say “paella” and a surprise cameo appearance!
