BizzleCast 52: Disney's "ROGUE ONE" Debacle Unveils Larger Systemic Problems

With STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE all *poop* seems to have hit the fan, and even if the reports are off, this situation begs all sorts of questions about Disney’s relevance and substance. Downfall of Disney, you ask? You mean the same company that owns the top 3 grossing movies of 2016 to the tune of over $3 billion combined in CIVIL WAR, ZOOTOPIA, and THE JUNGLE BOOK? Symptomatic of Disney's conservative attitude towards discussions on society, the STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE fiasco reveals much deeper issues. Why is Disney afraid to advertise their association with Daredevil and Jessica Jones? Why is WALL-E the most politically and socially deep movie its ever put out, with all its supposed “grown up” movies? We ask these questions and more about the company that is as much a fantasy as its most famous properties, despite my love of the Marvel films.
