The Supreme Resort

You're in for a good one today, folks! Continuing our dalliance outside the Disney Parks, we compare Disney's only current stunt show and its long-running counterpart at Universal Studios Hollywood. Who will win? The aged show with the aged but still beloved IP in Hollywood Studios? What about the stunt spectacular based on an IP that few remember, much less love? And hey, we talk a bit about the...

It was inevitable. We can't stay within the confines of Disneyland Resort forever. Come on. Walt Disney World has a safari hotel. Anywho, in this episode the Supreme Jerks review the history of teppanyaki dining. EPCOT has Teppan Edo, so there's out connection. Benihana popularized the whole thing and there's one in Anaheim and we went there too. It's a whole thing. Which will win: Disney Japan or...

And so it was that they invited Tage yet again. Why Tage joined them, we'll never know. He's so cool. They drool. Drool. Pools. That rhymes, so let's go with that. Pools. Pools.

Can you tell Dan wrote a bunch of songs? Now you can....
