The Disney Outlands

Welcome to the Disney Outlands DETOURS: A companion show to the Disney Outlands podcast, featuring in-depth conversations with special guests about the behind-the-scenes making of Disney productions that you can’t find on Disney Plus or Hulu in the United States.In this first Detour episode, Leif Bradshaw talks with DAVID L. SNYDER about his role as Production Designer for the Disney movies My Science Project (1985) and Super Mario Bros. (1993). Outside of Disney, you may know David’s work on Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (1985), Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey (1991), Back to School (1986), Demolition Man (1993), Class Act (1992), Strange Brew (1983), and Blade Runner (1982), the last of which earned him an Academy Award® nomination for Best Art Direction. David discusses bringing writer-director Jonathan R. Betuel’s science-fiction comedy adventure script to life in My Science Project, as well as bonding with producer Jonathan Taplin and the young-adult stars of the film, how he went about customizing the cherry-red 1968 Pontiac GTO for the film, shooting on location in California and Arizona, working with special effects artists John Scheele (Tron) and Michael Lantieri (Academy Award® winner, Jurassic Park) to manifest the movie’s most thrilling scenes like the car chase sequence and the battle with the T-Rex, and the changes he saw at the Disney studio when Frank Wells and Michael Eisner replaced Ron Miller as president and CEO in the middle of production. David also shines a light on how he later re-teamed with My Science Project stars Dennis Hopper and Fisher Stevens on Super Mario Bros., and how that movie began a lasting friendship with actor Bob Hoskins.This conversation, chronicling the incredible journey of a Hollywood craftsman, is packed with funny, unbelievable, and heartfelt stories, perfect for any ’80s/’90s film buff!The full, unedited interview with David L.

For our first-ever (belated) Halloween episode, our magical GPS fittingly picked the first-ever official Disney Channel Original Movie, according to Disney Channel (and for Northern Lights stans, we see you). Despite being the film to kick off this generation-defining series of movies in October 1997, it finds itself in the Disney Outlands, not being available to stream, or even to rent or buy anywhere online. In it, a young horror fanatic, his squeamish and nerdy best friend, and their witty tomboy pal accidentally awaken an ancient mummy—but, instead of being an undead monster who seeks to enact his revenge against the living, this mummy acts more like a giant toddler: curious, helpless, playful, unable to speak, and terribly clumsy. With the help of a local shop owner, who is himself a connoisseur of the supernatural, this ragtag group of misfits must hide their new resurrected friend, fight off goons who want to sell him to shady buyers, and return him to his sarcophagus before he turns to dust! Leif Bradshaw, Rob Bergman, Sophie Hurtado, and Paul Spicknall hop on their bicycles to unravel a scary good time in UNDER WRAPS (1997)!ROB BERGMANBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/robsnatcher.bsky.socialSOPHIE HURTADOInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soph.sophers/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soph_sketch_alot/Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/sophthesoap/PAUL SPICKNALLYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VHSRecordingsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulsJapaneseVHSChannelBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/konacha37.bsky.socialLEIF BRADSHAWFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/leifbradshawmusicInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/leifbradshawsingsThe Disney Outlands is co-created by Leif Bradshaw and Bryan Harris.

For our sophomore episode, we are sent back to 1985 to explore a sci-fi teen comedy about a too-cool-for-school teen with a troubled home life who accidentally unleashes time-bending chaos through mysterious tech, guided by an eccentric science enthusiast, all while navigating the consequences of his actions and the challenges of growing up. Oh, you thought we meant the one with the DeLorean, the clock tower & the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance? No, Disney rejected that script. This one comes from the writer of 1984 cult fave The Last Starfighter. Our protagonist’s name is Mike, not Marty, and he’s a gearhead, not a guitarist. And instead of traveling back in time, the past and future come to him—after Mike takes a strange device from an abandoned air force base, once the site of a UFO crash in 1957. Why? To pass it off as his science project and appease hippie-turned-science teacher Mr. Roberts. With smart-mouthed best friend Vinnie and nerdy bookworm Ellie by his side, Mike learns that messing with tech you don’t understand can be dangerous, but even average teens can become unlikely heroes. Leif Bradshaw takes the wheel of a cherry-red 1968 Pontiac GTO as Marla Cueva, Avalon Barber, and Jacob Martin hop in for a time-warping adventure in MY SCIENCE PROJECT!AVALON BARBERInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/avaloncheyJACOB MARTINYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rct3isepicBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/rct3isepic.bsky.socialBandcamp: https://closetothesun5.bandcamp.comWebsite: https://www.coastercomposer.comLEIF BRADSHAWFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/leifbradshawmusicInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/leifbradshawsingsThe Disney Outlands is co-created by Leif Bradshaw and Bryan Harris.

For our first episode of The Disney Outlands, we put YOUR suggestions to a poll, and then asked YOU to vote on what we should cover. And the winner of our poll was a 1987 traditionally-animated film about a toaster, a radio, an electric blanket, a desk lamp, and a vacuum cleaner that go searching for a boy that they lovingly call their “Master.” Along the way, they face wacky side characters and frightening opponents, from cute woodland creatures, to a sinister repairman, to a gang of newer & high-tech appliances, to a giant merciless junkyard magnet, in this funny, emotional, and often-dark tale of loyalty, courage, and teamwork.

Back in July of 2024, we asked our audience to submit any burning questions you had about us, or about how this podcast is going to work once we launch. We collected them, sorted them, and then spent an afternoon answering them one-by-one. We’ll be covering such topics as how the podcast came to be, what titles will or will not count for the podcast, and how titles will be chosen for each new episode. Also keep listening to the end to find out what title we will be covering for the very first episode!

Ever been curious about the movies and shows that Disney owns, produced, or distributed that they have not made available on streaming? You're not alone. Welcome...to the Disney Outlands!What are the Disney Outlands? When Disney launched its Disney+ streaming service in 2019, it included most, but not all, of the Disney content library. Over the years, they have added a few more older movies, shows, and short films to their service, but there is still A LOT of content missing - including Hulu and Disney+ Originals that were removed in 2023 in order to "cut costs". Ergo, the "Disney Outlands" is that desolate place where the Disney content that is not on Disney+ or Hulu is forced to reside. Our show is dedicated to venturing into these very lands and deciding whether we think they should be added to Disney+ (PLUS) or not (PASS). Each week, our magical GPS receiver will take host Leif Bradshaw and his rotation of guests to a new randomly-chosen destination.
