For the April Viewer Poll, Tim and AJ talk about the various versions of Space Mountain at Disney parks across the globe, their various differences, and for some reason, the juggernaut of marketing that was The Phantom Menace.  Also, we're probably banned in China now. Editor's Note: Siemens ended its sponsorship of Spaceship Earth in 2017, not 2007.  However, the point stands as once it...

To get ready for the release of Gen 9, Tim and AJ reimagine the four parks as Pokémon regions! Editor's Note: In Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, the actual number of Trainers in the Underground one needs to interact with to unlock Spiritomb is 32, not 50.  Tim accepts no fault for this, as that is still way too many people to reasonably expect a 10 year-old to meet. Hosted by Tim O'Connor and AJ...
